This basically. Virgin O2 has suddenly decided my phone contract of 12 years + is owned by my partner and for that reason I can no longer access my account, which they have never ever controlled. An absolutely nuts roll out. The guy on the phone sounded...unsurprised.

Even before these new changes, accessing the UK's citizen funded public broadcaster's written records was opaque & lacking accessibility for the average person. Join me in signing this open letter.

I used the BBC Written Archives in researching Believable Lies, and the staff there were helpful and knowledgeable. It’s dreadful to think that access to their holdings might be limited.

The signature count has doubled since this was first posted two days ago. Each has their own story to tell about why the WAC has been vital to their research and reading.

Thank you to the Observer for giving space today to our campaign to save independent access to the BBC Written Archives. The Corporation is still yet to engage with our argument and properly defend the policy shift. That is because it is indefensible. observer.co.uk/news/national/…

Corsano & me got to play a bunch this summer opening for Tropical Fuck Storm and two of the shows (at the Empty Bottle in Chicago) were captured on multitrack. Recordings sounded good so we made a tape. This is it — our souvenir from the summer! billorcutt.bandcamp.com/album/empty-bo…
