Ice cream van heard, second one in the last few weeks, this one is playing "O Sole Mio"/"Just one Cornetto" on the chimes. It's branded YumTreats Mr Whippy and there are Disney characters on the back, not even hand drawn, always a bit disappointing. Bring back Mykee Mouse and Ronald The Duck

New research suggests that some of the fragments of text that can still be seen on Bluesky today may be echoes of an original post—lost to antiquity—that experts have reconstructed as: “___________ invented electronic music’. Wrong answers only.”

Tiny Red Dragons is celebrating our 200th episode! 🎉 See if you can connect the dots and figure out how we link Peter, Paul and Mary with Sleep. 🤔 It's going to be a wild and wonderful trip! Tiny Red Dragons - Tuesday, August 11th, at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST / 7:00 PM UK, on Beachy Head Radio.

Now playing: yet another electronic composition that starts as an introspective, emotive “ambient” piece but which gradually becomes loud and distorted in the second half. Perhaps there are rogue copies of Oblique Strategies out there, because I really don’t remember “Do a Merzbow” being a card.

An email arrived today from a group that clearly hadn’t read the submissions page and yet the email started with a reference to its opening paragraph. It’s reasonable to assume that the band’s music is generated by AI too, or at best, a lazy effort.

Occasionally I still hear an execrable song that I presume from context (supermarket PAs, passing cars, distant celebrations…) must have been a “hit” a few years ago. A line of dreary lament followed by another of louder, but still incomprehensible, whining. NO variation. Disturbing and baffling.
