Why are streaming services suddenly being hit with "remixes" of songs in two versions?

1. The same song but sped up with Chipmunk pitch.
2. The same song but slowed down with Rick Astley pitch and added reverb.

Is this a TikTok thing? It sucks...

Just realised the acronym for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia is IDAHOBIT and I mean...

Look at me. 😁

Yesterday, I was in a crowd of about 25k people all singing Don't Stop Me Now by Queen.

Always amuses me how many straight people naively celebrate a song about cocaine fuelled casual bisexual sex.

I love it, but if half of them listened to the lyrics they'd stop enjoying it!

I always said voting for Labour was a lesser of two evils thing. They were our best chance to keep the Tories out of office.

Now, they're indistinguishable. Neither care about minorities, or the working classes, or any form of actual reform for the better. They all need to get in the bin.

Labour making moves to get rid of Diane Abbot for poorly defined but well meaning points about racism towards Black people... While taking no action against Rosie Duffield who regularly makes sweeping anti-trans statements filled with hate, tells you everything about how useless and bigoted the party has become.

Two lo-fi photos taken on a disposable camera.

Kaiser Chiefs at Manchester Academy. 16th April 2005.

Babies born while we were bouncing up and down at that gig become adults today. The memory of losing my shit when the band played b-side Take My Temperature as the encore number are as vivid as those babies memories of last week. What a gig.

All together now... Ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

New delivery via eBay. Literally received a big box of DICK.

Trump used Bowie's Rebel Rebel as warmup music down in Florida.

Nobody in the room seemed to realise it was written by a bi/pan man about Jayne County: a pioneering trans woman.

Anyone else ever get the feeling you're watching yourself from just behind your head like an old PlayStation game? Or you're actually a tiny force having to hulk around a tiresome meat sack, like that alien in the morgue in Men In Black? Too many ins in that sentence. Either way, in the immortal words of David Bowie, "this is not quite yet".

SUPER stoked to see Jinkx Monsoon joining the cast of my all time favourite tv show, Doctor Who.

New delivery: Double A-Sided 7" pink/black split vinyl single featuring the two new Skunk Anansie tracks released digitally last year. The pulsating synth-pop inspired Can't Take You Anywhere, and the anthemic, chaotic heavy metal madness of Piggy.

Adore both of these songs, so very glad to have them on vinyl!

A viral video of someone giving sass to a vox-popper has reminded me of the time I surprised MYSELF with my own grumpy reply to being stopped in the street.

Chugger: "Hello! Have you ever had an accident that wasn't your fault?"
Me: "Well, I walked right into this conversation."

Rina Sawayama proves once again she'd be the perfect fit for a James Bond theme. Guess the John Wick team beat Eon to it.
