Le multiculturalisme est la voie à suivre pour toute société, pour toute société civilisée, et si nous pouvons le défendre à travers la nouvelle musique que nous créons, alors je pense que c’est fantastique.

-DIY Forever-
Autograph session

It was raining cats and dogs that evening in #Berlin X-Berg and I was glad to have my jacket. Later at the merch, Pauline Black signed it for me. She asked if I had made it and that she liked it. I liked her show! She was born in 1953, dances and performs with enthusiasm and action

Photos from The Selecter concert to come, stay tuned.

The Selecter, Celebrate the Bullet, 1981 on Chrysalis

The Selecter were a Coventry band on 2 Tone; Celebrate the Bullet was their second album, following Too Much Pressure. Neol Davies, Pauline Black, and Arthur Hendrickson did most of the songwriting here, with production by Roger Lomas.

My copy—via Lucky Records in Reykjavik—is a 1981 Santa Maria pressing.

Definitely one to remember to watch if you're in the UK tonight. Sky Arts have a Pauline Black documentary at 9pm and it sounds like it's going to be a good one. #70sMusic #80sMusic #ska #TheSelecter #2tone #PaulineBlack #TOTP

Another #goodread... Black By Design by The Selecter's Pauline Black. Not just for the 2-Tone fans, this excellent book is a potted social history of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st century told via Pauline's experiences - and all the things wrong in the UK. Not always easy reading but what a strong, talented woman.

The Person In Suit may be a non-binary person, so there is that, if not a flag

#Unicode has decided to pretty much stop adding flags since they’re the least used emoji (I suspect some flags get a lot more use than others though 🏳️‍🌈)

It was recently proposed that the #PersonInSuitEmoji should have explicit genders since it’s inspired by #ska, and #PaulineBlack 🕴🏿 of #theSelecter pretty much embodies this #emoji

I urge all of you to spend time with this incredible piece. Please. A chillingly powerful essay from
#PaulineBlack of
#TheSelector - it's about
#TerryHall and #TheSpecials but it is also about so much more than that--what
#TwoTone was trying to do for #humanity #culture, and the power of the group. Please read.
