  1. #NtsLive is pushing the boat out with obscure #Leicester #music . Not content with one DJ using a Cordelia Records sampler in their programme graphic, another DJ played "Paperback Rain" by Fish From Tahiti about 15 minutes ago.

  6. Someone based in #Leicester is selling on #eBay a lot of records that Dave Dixey (Durham Ox and Sorted Records) was involved in, even beyond Sorted. I should rummage in my CD collection to see what I am missing.

  7. You would think someone smart enough to go up to #University would steer clear of dodgy #scams (even if they are a business management student) but not shank his former friend in broad daylight in the street directly outside the University!

    Was a 3 grand loss really worth doing 10,5 years in #prison for? (assuming 66,67% early release as it was #manslaughter rather than murder with a minimum tarriff)

    Maybe he even calculated that (works out as about 77p per day he sits inside)

    Not the first #stabbing amongst Uni students in recent times either, there was once a time when they were less likely to resort to #violence but it seems #ToxicMasculinity has also put paid to that..

  8. I rarely get enthusiastic about the shows that I go to - they are chosen by my wife and I go along.
    But tonight was one of the best shows I've been to in a very long time.

    It was 'Inside American Pie' by a small group of musicians and storytellers from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
    This was at Curve in Leicester.

    This was a musical documentary about the meanings & histories of & around the Don McLean song American Pie.

    There were words, of course, but some fabulous retakes of songs from the era that the song references.
    If particular note were a re-imagining of the worst Lennon song ever - 'Imagine' which actually gave it some soul & an amazing rendition evoking Janis Joplin.
    I was blown away how they segue'd Sympathy For The Devil into Gimme Shelter.

    If this is small town Canadian music - give me more!

    If you're anywhere near Leicester and tickets are available, just go.

  9. ⭕Un groupe d’activistes s’en prend à #Keysight_Technologies à #Édimbourg, en #Écosse. #Keysight fournit des composants électroniques à l’usine #d’Elbit à #Leicester, qui produit les drones militaires #Israéliens.

  10. Hi Mastofriends. I need some help. I'm looking for information about a few very specific cities' #COVIDStreets interventions. Specifically, I need details about:
    #Trikala #Greece
    #Leicester & #Middlesborough #UK
    #Katowice #Poland

    If you're familiar with any of those cities' efforts to reallocate #Street space during the #Pandemic, please let me know! We're plugging gaps in our #ShiftingStreets #COVID #mobility #database.

    reply in the thread, or at unc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form

    Thank you!!!

  11. Ali Amla, a British Gujarati Indian Muslim who works in conflict resolution and social cohesion for the educational charity Solutions not Sides, described Leicester’s new sectarianism as very old and depressingly familiar. “We’ve seen it in Northern Ireland, in the Balkans and in Gujarat [in the 2002 violence against Muslims]. In so many ways, #Leicester’s problems are very international.”
    The heightened connectivity of social, political and economic processes across borders is a welcome development of the past five decades. Leicester seems to embody a troubling #transnationalism, one that imports partisan divides that have little to do with local or even national British politics. But Sunak’s rise is the flip side. Isn’t it? #britain #rishisunak via @theneeweuropean theneweuropean.co.uk/what-happ
