Did I tell you it's the Hot Mess festival special this Friday, the 7th of August? 11pm to 5am at Sneaky Pete's, with yours truly playing all night long
Two firsts for me on Friday: 1. I DJed at a sauna 2. I didn't drink while DJing for the first time in my 30-year career. It was deeply satisfying and enjoyable, and here's what I played.

Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · 2mo agoQUESTION: What does your city need most to become a MUCH BETTER CITY FOR ITS PEOPLE, in 3 words or less? Name the city (doesn’t count in the 3 words), explain your answer(s) if you think it’s needed, and include images/graphics if it helps make your case.
A truly beautiful bit of music by @midlandsound.bsky.social. Hits the sweet spot between playful and sexy, as evidenced by how it went down with the Hot Mess crew last night. Thanks Harry!
Midland @midlandsound.bsky.social · 3mo agoI have new music out today ”Without Pause” Made with Corsica Studios in mind, and played (an early demo) the next day. One of those tracks where each component came quickly and made total sense. Described by a friend as cunty Mathew Jonson. Buy or stream here Smart link here orcd.co/withoutpause

I'm not allowed to tell you who to vote for, because I'll get sacked if I do, but I encourage you to vote in Scotland today
Polls open until 10pm for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election (an hour ago, thanks for not posting the scheduled polls open post, Buffer xoxo); the earlier you vote the better, don't let the day get away from you! Pop in en route to work, after dropping weans at nursery, or coming back from gym!
Absolutely loved seeing all the people whizzing around on Voi bikes in Glasgow in the sun yesterday. So much fun and joy on the streets!
internetracecar@hegaldia.bsky.social · 4mo agoit unlocks the feeling of boundless energy that comes with being 10 years old and just wanting to rip around everywhere, a total rascal, but with Practicality and Utility in your back pocket to justify the moments of dipping into the woods and zoomin' ebikes are fucking great
Just putting on my best jeans for tonight's Hot Mess show on Radio Buena Vida. Tune in at 7pm!
Just backed this. I absolutely love @julesscheele.bsky.social's work and I'm very excited about his take on Orlando.
Avery Hill Publishing@averyhill.bsky.social · 4mo agoBy my reckoning we need approx 7 more backers to hit our target for Orlando by @julesscheele.bsky.social. Can you help us get this done today??? www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...
Hot Mess returns to Sneaky Pete's on Friday 1 May, when I'll be playing all night long.
Imagine being a punk or an activist and not using your local public library on the reg. How embarrassing for you.
This is going to be the biggest Hot Mess ever and half the tickets are gone already

on the topic of car violence, I can't help wondering if the aggy mood of the country isn't exacerbated by a) half of cars being TOO BIG and b) headlights being TOO BRIGHT so everyone on the road constantly feels threatened or hassled
