1) the thing about iorr.org is there's a small reliable bunch of great
folks there that post all kinds of pics, videos, news links, merch links,
translations etc (which i often post here crediting iorr.org). But some
of the opinion pieces over there... one thing i noticed was that when
our anti-whining anti-nitpicking campaign was having the most success,
the post count over there completely crashed... if they couldn't
badmouth something, if they couldn't do snark, they had nothing
to say... but of course that problem is hardly confined to iorr.org
2) in his Foreign Tongues interviews, Mick has given some shine
to music artists Sam Fender, Rosalia, and the group Geese. I've
since tried them all, but none of them quickly hooked me. I mean,
maybe if I gave them more time, but that's something I don't have
a lot of (I did however enjoy Rosalia as the stripper with a neck brace
in season 3 of
Euphoria)

3) Of the three, Sam Fender's jangly music appealed most, and
one of Sam's most successful tracks is a duet with
Olivia Dean,
who was always popping up in my feed, but who I had never checked
out. Wow she is consciously and intentionally like a sane and sober
Amy Winehouse (including being too skinny), and is such an obvious
choice to guest at a Stones show...
