@AllanWatson1 @CreativePEC Interesting research & report. My current fieldwork into the experimental electronic music scene in Manchester suggests many underground artists are charting a militantly independent course, building alternative alliances & circuits. To them the 'music industry' is an irrelevance

My report ‘Building sustainable regional music industry clusters’ detailing research funded by @CreativePEC is now available online here: pec.ac.uk/discussion-pap…. The report considers post-pandemic recovery and recommends a series of policy initiatives to address key challenges.

@sevensixfive Same here, though my most prolific namesake apparently works in medical research, so the papers I’ve purportedly authored often seem to involve things like comparative studies of rectal thermometer usage 🙄

Getting a little nervous whenever I get emails from ResearchGate with subject lines like "Fred, is this you?"

@RegenerationEX It’s part of the Brandon Estate in Southwark, funded from the original LCC budget which had a generous public art component.

Apparently there was a time when Henry Moore statues were displayed on public land on Council Estates.

Downing St insists that the Govt backs the university sector, but confirms ministers are looking at whether too many "low-quality degrees" are awarded. Low quality is surely a euphemism for high-quality arts, politics, & humanities degrees, deemed unsuitable for plebs. #UCURising

Lefebvre in a 1997 interview telling Kristin Ross about driving to the Pyrenees with Debord & various Situationists:"we had a fabulous feast in Sarlat, and I could hardly drive...I got a ticket; we were almost arrested because I crossed a village going 120 kilometers per hour."

@michaellondonsf These people made bespoke musicians’ hearing protectors for me (my research requires me to attend some very loud gigs!). They were very professional, good bedside manner & cost seemed reasonable. They appear to do general audiology too. harleysthearing.co.uk/hearing-consul…

@moveincircles @DannyDutch @DavidDPaxton My mum, brought up in a poor working-class family in Manchester during the 1920s, 30s & 40s, often referred to making a ‘cup of char’, which you have to imagine being said with a long, flat ´a’ & a silent ‘r’. I’ve always assumed it had both class *and* regional inflexions.

@DannyDutch @DavidDPaxton English used to have both pronunciations - the difference between “cup of tea” and “cup of char” is very class-inflected. Wonder what the cultural history there is

If tea spread to your country by sea you call it tea, if it spread by land you call it chai. This is because the ports of Fujian and Taiwan use the coastal pronunciation "te", whereas Mandarin uses "chá"
