2022-06-02 17:44:18 Some of you might recognise this synthesiser, the Prophet 5, from many pop videos in the 1980s, including A-Ha's Take On Me. It was a workhorse throughout that decade, one of the first affordable polyphonic analogue synths. Many pop and rock bands used it, as well as soundtrack musicians. For example, the 1987 version of the Doctor Who theme was entirely made using a Prophet 5. John Carpenter also used it in in his iconic 80s soundtracks.

Its inventor, Dave Smith, has died.

Having mastered the world of analogue, he later ventured into the digital realm, inventing vector synthesis as well as MIDI, the system by which computers, synths, sequencers, drum machines and other devices can communicate, making all sorts of coordination possible for the first time.

Dave Smith was a genuine innovator, and he created devices that helped to define the sound of several decades.

RIP Dave Smith, 1950-2022.

2022-06-02 10:00:00 Good time for the occasional mention of this outstanding speech by Millennial Woes in which he dissects Hope Not Hate, the UK version of these hate groups.

If you’ve never watched this then please watch it now.

2022-06-02 03:49:05 The SPLC, Antifa, and Right Wing Watch have inflicted tremendous suffering on our people. Someday they need to think hard before repeating the offense. This is an opportunity for unity, as it would make everyone stronger, i.e., it’s practical. It’s something we’re thinking about. An ADL for white people? Open / Comment

2022-06-01 00:44:42 I agree with the Fyrgen's suggestion here. I don't know why anyone would share Youtube links when they have Odysee channels at this stage.

2022-05-31 20:00:09 The limits of acceptable debate around immigration in the UK will soon come down to whether you want that 1 million coming in a year to have a degree or whether we should be more "inclusive" and welcome those that don't. There's an interesting class dynamic to that where the middle class obviously feel a lot more threatened by hundreds of thousands of migrants with degrees in law and journalism than they would with people that don't have a university education. Which in a way makes working class people in the so called "Blue Wall" more likely to vote Tory to make sure the composition of that 1 million are degree holders and not more menial labourers/service workers. Either way you're getting that 1 million, you just haggle over the details for your own economic self interest. Don't you just love modern Britain? Open / Comment

2022-05-31 16:45:53 Tonight I'll be doing a livestream about what happened in Paris last Saturday, the media and government attempt to pass the blame, and the stubborn refusal of some people to admit there is a problem. Catch the stream on Odysee and Youtube. Open / Comment

2022-05-31 12:00:00 “Tradition, which is always old, is at the same time ever new because it is always reviving - born again in each new generation, to be lived and applied in a new and particular way. Convention is simply the ossification of social customs. The activities of conventional people are merely excuses for NOT acting in a more integrally human way. Tradition nourishes the life of the spirit; convention merely disguises its interior decay.”
