#politics #exclusive Things in Britain that are more popular than Keir Starmer. New polling has revealed that most UK citizens find surprisingly bad things preferable to Keef. These include stubbed toes, cold sores, reaching for your cup of tea to find it's gone cold and your sock being wet. A labour insider has confirmed that Starmer will respond by Continuing to limply pander to the far right.

1,700 #California workers, including 500+ #Teamsters, left in lurch to be laid off as major CA alcoholic #beverages distributor for 2,500 beverage brands, quickly winds down operations and ditches state to consolidate operations in home state of #Texas.

Many #CaliforniaWines stuck in middle have been reaching out to former competitor #supplychains to keep footholds in state with many millions of potential customers.

While #RNDC tries to paint picture that Democrat run #WestCoast state's more complex #taxation and regulatory framework was responsible, the main factor is bad biz failures at #Republic National Distributing Company, who lost many key #exclusive deals with big brands like #TX made Tito's #vodka, #Herradura #Tequila, #HighNoon and #JackDaniels whiskey etc. #RNDC has been known for poor worker relations, #unionbusting antics and had mismanaged much market share after awkward acquisition of CA's once prominent Young's Market #YMCO Distro arm.

VinePairRNDC to 'Withdraw' from California By End of Summer (Developing)Not even halfway into 2025, Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) has hemorrhaged key supplier accounts in markets across the country, and especially in California. Now, VinePair has learned, the country’s second-largest wine-and-spirits distributor will be departing the Golden State entirely at the beginning of September. Over the weekend, social media was abuzz with versions of this rumor.

Venice isn’t something you tick off a list. It’s something you feel. That’s why I created The Venice I See — a personal guide, made not for tourists, but for curious souls. Whether you’re a photographer, a wanderer, or someone just craving the real Venice, this is for you. 🛶 It’s not a tour. Not an itinerary. It’s a way of seeing.

RADIO IRRTUM! (on air from Berlin)

↓↓↓ Deutsch Version below unten ↓↓↓

Yeah: Da next issue of
#RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/06/07, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .

#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planets genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's about the #music!

Music which this time may lean more than usual on the electronic side, as there will be…

- raw 'n also
#glitchy #Pop
-
#Demoscene #Garage
- free flowing
#Acid
- swedish
#Electro
- scratchy, breaky
#Bass
- experimental
#Electronica
-
#industrial in various ways (#breakbeats, noise, #spokenWord)
- hardcore
#punk
- even nature
#soundscapes

Among others there will be
#CreativeCommons music, & of course we'll have a bunch of #FediverseArtists in it as well. So shout outs to @sonicwalker@mastodon.green, @h0ffman@mas.to who was kind enough to let me have a (I think) #exclusive version (!) of one of his latest tracks, and especially to @rktic@abraum.social, like H0ffman an absolute Demoscene legend, who granted me the absolute pleasure of a deep diving interview about a lot of aspects of making music (right) with him.

I will post a link to the almost 40 min running
#interview I've enhanced into #multimedial dimensions (no kidding – was more work than anticipated, but also fun) alongside the show within this threat here, when the time is right. It also has English subtitles (only here with editorial remarks).

And then there is that educational section about sex, witches and
#ringModulation. Just saying. I mean - it's almost 2 min long, complete with music examples - where can you get secret knowledge about the inner works of the universe in under 2 min? Yes - at Radio Irrtum!

Anyway: If at least a bit interested in kewl new unusual
#music, tune in! 📻

Playlist + manuscript + interview link afterwards here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)
