In 2012 The Moon was born as an experiment in social media integration and it was a time when it was thought that social media was generally a positive thing. How times have changed…
NINA NASTASIA – HANDMADE CARD
The finest new Yuletide track from 2018 and features on the now 5 hours of top Yuletide tuneage on A Yuletide Playlist from The Moon
SPEARMINT – SWEEPING THE NATION
A lost classic from 99. Check out a top track from their new album topically kicking off A Top Pop 60 2019
A Top Pop 60 and The Moon Awards 2019
Below is A Top Pop 60 for 2019. Many of the tracks or artists have of course already featured on the monthlyish Top Moon Tunes, but it kicks off topically with track from a top new LP from Spearmint, a recent re-discovery, and then with the brilliant, previous Moon offending, Michael Kiwanuka – who is now a bit massive and only on Vevo and so not Playmossable.
COMET GAIN – WE’RE ALL F**KING MORONS
A very topical tune from Comet Gain. Check out another Top Pop track on Top Moon Tunes 2019 on Top Moon Tunes 2019 Volume 10
HURTING – MEMORY CASSETTE
A cracker of a track, check out another epic cracker on Top Moon Tunes 2019 on Top Moon Tunes 2019 Volume 10
Top Moon Tunes 2019 Volume 10
Just less than a month on from Volume 9 here is Volume 10 and last of the monthlyish Top Moon Tunes
Like Volume 9, it is also one of the most rock n roll, but does have some spooky experimental folk, a bit of Americana and some sophisticated Top Pop. And (not quite yet ) Brexshit Blighty makes a comeback with 9 of the 15 tracks.
#FactCheckuk in Leaflet Form #GE2019
Above and below are images of a leaflet I recently received through my letterbox. Like the #FactCheckuk Twitter account, if you look closely enough, it says it is issued by CCHQ aka the head office of The so-called Conservative Party.
It is as deceitful, misleading and as full of lies as our current so-called Prime Minister. Just one example is the claim that Labour’s planned nationalisation of energy and water companies will cost each household an extra £2000 per year, when average household bills are £1,254 for a dual fuel deal and £415 for water per year.
As this is perfectly legal to produce, it is no wonder that Facebook have said that it is ok for their paid for political ads to not tell the truth.
As with in 2017 check out The Moon Guide to voting from 2015 and also for the best tactical voting advice in your seat go to Best for Britain
This time the stakes are even higher as there is no doubt that Boris Johnson and his so-called Conservative Party are the biggest threat to our economy, our Democracy and our Union and that any true Conservative with an ounce of moral fibre should be taking the advice of Michael Heseltine
