Today Massive Attack is sharing their collaboration with Tom Waits, "Boots on the Ground."
The song chronicles the madness and rabid abandonment of mankind to the commands of "The Masters of War” as Dylan put it.

Just had a depressing call with my accountant. After repeatedly going through figures, it seems that selling my flat- which has the loveliest couple- is the only sensible thing to do. It's simply costing me more than I earn from it
They can't afford to buy themselves, and love the flat, but unfortunately it just doesn't make financial sense to keep them sadly. Just booked in a valuation next week.
I'd like to congratulate @RachelReevesMP@AngelaRayner@SteveReedMP and @Keir_Starmer for their complete inability to understand the consequences of their policies
NEW: Chinese automaker appears to try recreating the viral Range Rover "Stairway to Heaven" climb, crashes through guardrail.
Chery Automobile has apologized after the crash at Tianmen Mountain in Zhangjiajie, China.
The company is promising to pay for a complete repair of the damage.
"The outcome has exposed our insufficient assessment of potential risks and lapses in detail control during the planning and execution of this test," they reportedly said in a statement.
The stairway is a total of 999 steps.
In an ideal world, we’d all want our employees to have better pay.
I just wish politicians would stop coming out saying they are putting more money in people’s pockets.
They aren’t, businesses are.
Many of these businesses, especially Hospitality are already at breaking point…any additional expense at this moment, could be the final nail in the coffin.
Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.
The fact that the Gov't are considering extending hours for pubs, highlights how out of touch they are with the sector.
They don't need extra hours, with extra costs, they need a reversal of the NI increase, reduction in Business rates and a lowering of VAT.
Extending hours is just a desperate headline.
I have a new album coming out on August 8th. Carving The Stone is my first full length release since my debut in 2021, and while it took a long time to bring it to you, I am so proud to be able to do that now. You can pre order it now here: https://t.co/SFaDRLVFOl
