A brief break from LDR & #NowListening to #TijuanaMoods by #CharlesMingus.

Again, I’m an utter #Mingus nut & this is up there with his very best: Dizzy Moods, Los Mariachis - just incredible stuff.

This is the reissue by #SpeakersCorner - a label for which I generally have a lot of time. However, unfortunately, I’m on my third copy & there is noticeable non-fill across Side B. Which is a shame - it otherwise sounds rich, dynamic, & full: as it should.

#NowListening to #MingusAtAntibes by #CharlesMingus. My favourite #jazz artists, ranked in order, are likely #Miles, #Mingus, #BillEvans, #LeeMorgan, & #Coltrane. & this is one of my favourite albums by Mingus.

Recorded live, it doesn’t really sound like anything else of that time. Explosive, & yet disciplined; melodic & yet cacophonous: if, in 1960, there was such a thing as jazz-punk, then this is it.

This reissue by #SpeakersCorner is impeccable.

As much as I love Sam Records, they’ve nearly doubled in price over the last couple years (or so it feels). I used to see Speakers Corner reissues as expensive, but they’re looking like good value at the moment. #vinyl #records #jazz #samrecords #speakerscorner #purepleasure

#AiWeiwei on tänään ollut kirjoittamassa näkymättömällä musteella Lontoon Hyde Parkin #SpeakersCorner issa.

Tämä on #taiteilija n tapa osoittaa tukensa #Kiina ssa protestoineille nuorille, jotka ovat protesteissaan pitäneet tyhjiä paperiarkkeja merkkinä siitä, että #protestointi on heiltä kiellettyä.

@grammargirl I so so completely agree. This Mastodon thingamabob can be the #PublicSpace that most of us wanted from the bird thing. Part #speakerscorner, part #Gossipping, part open mic. And a lot of other elements. Minus the algorithms.

There will be a constant pull toward commodification and monetization. Mastodon will always need well-intentioned developers and moderators and supporters. And there will be work when the "forces of darkness and chaos" come in to try and tear it down.

@letterus
Meinem Eindruck nach wird das in #DigitaleKirche oft nicht deutlich. Die #SpeakersCorner (da wo die Menschen... z. B. bei FB) ist doch eher so etwas wie #Mission oder #Evangelisation? Aber #Kirche ist mehr! Und spätestens da ist die Frage, ob Kirche ihres Verständnisses und ihrer Verantwortung gerecht wird, wenn sie für darüber hinausgehende digitale Angebote weiter die Werkzeuge von Datenhändlern nutzt?

For all the latest follow the #SpeakersCorner on Twitter.

Gearing up for an interesting afternoon at #SpeakersCorner in London today.

Lutz Bachmann from PEGIDA Germany was also stoped at Stanstead last night, detained for one night and is flying home now. His crime was having a speech in his luggage and intending to read it.
