  • Rabz’ Radio Show January 2023: Albums

    You can write off this medium of music storage as an anachronism at your peril, Cats.

This is a meditation on 25 years in the business. Twenty-five years ago today I started my…

  • Gary Johns and Karl Popper on ethnic self-determinism

    Gary Johns has written a lucid and compelling book to support the resistance to The Voice (The Burden of Culture, Quadrant books.)

Popper sounded an alarm about this movement…
