Centuries of Sound - 1932
I made this!
After last month's detour to 2019 I'm back on the regular schedule of putting out these mixes - this one is for the year 1932, and as the US record business was in the doldrums at this point, it's a kind of world tour, including a whole 25+ minutes of music from the UK, which is a first (and probably won't be matched until the 60s)
So a three-hour audio collage, free to stream, one-hour preview mix available to download.
These take me forever and I'm trying to justify spending my time on them now my company has closed and I've taken redundancy (yeah I know, would be better to dedicate the time to jobhunting) so if you know anyone who may be interested, please do share.

American space companies tend to be owned by ultra-capitalist bastards who see workers as a necessary inconvenience.
Firing everybody with the possibly empty promise to rehire is cheaper than furlough, or being sued by an employee who catches the virus.
That said, I got the impression that their workers were all in clean-suits anyway, which isn't very different from working in full PPE.

Indeed.
Travelling to another country, though? Surrounded by close contacts, apparently not socially-distancing or wearing masks? When he's 100 years old, therefore in a very high-risk group?
This seems to have got awfully polarised very quickly in the media, where either you worship at the altar of Sir Captain Tom or you're an evil troll guilty of "victim blaming". I think it's possible to steer a middle course, say that it's great that he raised so much money for the NHS - although plenty of people do plenty of charitable work and don't get free holidays stumped up for them by BA - but also question the wisdom of him and his family taking up that offer in December 2020.

It is young people who should be more careful. The micromort idea is a helplful way of thinking about this, where one micromort is a 1 in 10^6 risk of death. A young man massively increases his risk of death by buying a motorcycle or scuba diving, since his risk of death is very low to begin with. at 100, your risk of dying in any day is so high, that you barely affect your life expectancy by taking up a dangerous pastime.
