The Loft are an English indie band, whose debut single was one of the earliest releases on Creation Records.
History

Formed in 1980 as The Living Room by Peter Astor (vocals, guitar), Bill Prince (bass), Andy Strickland (guitar) and Dave Morgan (drums), the band changed its name when they discovered a local music venue also called The Living Room. The venue was being run by Alan McGee, with whom The Loft struck up a friendship and played several gigs for. After signing to McGee's fledgling Creation Records label, the debut single "Why Does the Rain?" was issued in 1984. "Up the Hill and Down the Slope" was issued the following year, earning both band and label some critical success.

The surge of ai and its ignorance of taste, making things better by adding more, and so on, is correlating with the average lack of consideration for #creation, #art and #artists and global #antiintellectualism ; highlighting global reluctance to partake into any activity requiring to think by oneself. #literacy #criticalthinking #CriticalLiteracy #literacyMatters #ai #artificialintelligence #medialiteracy #populism #facism

Would you do that meme with an artistic semi| abstract photo of a woman vs one of a full portrait from your Lidl catalogue because there's more details, colours?
There has been a huge resurgence of people deeming art>beauty, accuracy as a criteria, common since modern art appeared on the art scene, but is worrying as an absolute and a society level of art, media and global literacy.

Just like digital art is not easier than traditional art (I find it the other way round for instance). Would you say writing a book on word and not by hand is cheating? Bfr. If technical, frame by frame, apparent complexity was the only goal of art, we would have stopped long ago... Being realistic stopped being the goal long ago, if it were ever the sole goal (spoiler alert: no)

Tout commence par quelques pelotes et une idée en tête... Mais petit à petit, maille après maille, Géraldine prend forme !
J’ai pris le temps de capturer plusieurs étapes pour vous montrer son évolution, de la première maille jusqu’à la dernière couture.
Elle est crochetée avec du coton Catona de Scheepjes.
Envie de la crocheter vous aussi ? Son patron est dispo, en français et en anglais, sur miliecrochetille.fr et sur Etsy !

Dreams of environmental redemption: Reanimate the thylacine

"Perhaps we want an iconic marsupial we can walk on a lead to our local brunch spot."

"Certainly we are not up to the job: we have no experience in making thylacines happy. We have restructured the habitat where the tiger lived, decimated its prey, destroyed its culture. We have built a lot of roads: if everything goes very well and thylacines become as common as pademelons, we can look forward to seeing one on our morning commute, smeared across the highway by a logging truck."

"More likely we are hoping for something to erase our guilt, not just for the extinction of this animal (we could blame someone else for that) but for all the extinctions to come. More likely we want to feel that the damage we do isn’t permanent, that we can travel back in time." Jane Rawson

The Guardian · Can we recreate a lost world? In Tasmania, anything could happenBy Guardian staff reporter
For the record, it's 2025, and people still believe that the universe came into existence by random processes: nobody + nothing = everything.

God created everything visible and invisible out of nothing: Ex Nihilo

Mind you, this is the very first verse in the Holy Bible:
