Time for me to take a break of a week or two. I can't seem to filter out the constant barage of Farage, AI, Telegraph screenshots and general Weltschmerz and it's making me feel weird. I'll be mixing two albums, reading, cooking and thinking of my friends amongst y'all in the meantime xx
It's a little way off, but a quick reminder that it's #electronicears this evening at 8pm. Featuring: Veryan; Girl Group; Bison; Sheila Chandra; Holger Czukay ❤️; Invictus Hi-Fi; and MORE! Stream from www.candofm.co.uk or pick it up on Mixcloud in the morning.
What is a non-aggressive way to deal with people one suspects of using Meta glasses on, say, the train or other public place?
I'll never forget the feeling walking along the White Cliffs and noticing the time on my phone had jumped forward an hour, and there was a message "Welcome to France!" www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

If you’re looking at an album and thinking “hmm, this looks interesting” and there’s a version of Sunny on it, it’s going to be worth buying. It’s a maxim I’ve lived by for 40 years or more and it’s never let me down. (The version of Sunny *won’t* be the best thing on it, either.)
lil miss big boy@lighter.bsky.social · 5d agoPost your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.
@jandrewm.bsky.social Hi Andy! Glad to have found you, hope all's swell with you.
Back in my Hells Angels days, me an' the boys would call this type of guy a real Nonsense Ninny.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
I should add a caveat to my enthusiasm for SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D'ETAT. In the last thirty minutes or so there are three moments, one spoken and two archival footage, that I really regret experiencing. I was angry enough already but now I feel kind of sick. letterboxd.com/danielmudfor...

This and the second episode is pure magic to read or listen to. The passion, and sometimes the anger, is infectious. (there's a great bit of audio in the run-out groove of part two)

Delighted, honoured, but really not that surprised that our album ASTRO MAMBO! has been nominated for the Mercury Prize. Make sure you snap up one of the remaining CDs before the big night's announcement and subsequent sales blip. thesonsofsilence1.bandcamp.com/album/astro-...

Something similar happened in France a few years ago. Climate activists responded by filling the golf holes with cement. www.bbc.com/news/world-e...

Absolutely fascinating bit in the new @mojomagazine.bsky.social about bands with the most members. The Fall's 84 pales next to Sun Ra's 140 and Parliament/Funkadelic's 200. Also amazed at the numbers for The Blue Aeroplanes (96), Dexys (52) and King Crimson's measly 34. pic by 8bitnorthxstitch

Thanks to an admin error (mine) I scattered Millie's ashes today, 5 years after she died. Beloved companion of Our Dad - he said what he feared most was her going before him. And she didn't. She, Our Dad and Otterley are all together in Stoke Clump. Give a wave if you're passing in the Channel.
#NowPlaying With huge thanks to Simon Reynell at @anothertimbre.bsky.social for making this happen. Absolutely exquisite.
Slightly redrafted version of an early favourite of mine “My daughter is made of trumpets”
Simon Roper’s vids have a 1970s Open University quality to them but they’re always completely fascinating. This one’s a doozy, and it’s all kicking off in the comments youtu.be/B4hH_wAo1xc?...

Ronnie Le Drew, the voice and soul of Zippy has died aged 78. Being Canadian-born I doubt he was as over-opinionated and obnoxious as his puppet creation.
If I won the lottery I would hire an interior designer and just say “Columbo murderer” while waving my hand around my home office.
This! This is the most gripping, energising and utterly engrossing documentary I've seen since HOOP DREAMS. What a story and what a brilliant way to tell it. #FilmSky
Guerilla warfare training, day one: ‘First and foremost, we never just “go” back into the hills. We “melt away’’. If I catch any of you going somewhere you should be melting away to, by God, you’ll wish you’d never been born.’
Lined up a whole bunch of episodes of a new-to-me Podcast, eagerly anticipating chats with David Byrne, David Cronenberg, Peaches, Colm Toibin. But first of all you get the presenter singing the praises of her sponsor, of all people, Anthropic.
