Following a productive studio session yesterday I handed in the Sleepytime Village game soundtrack Intro & Act One masters to @lightfootbrosgames.bsky.social today and tbh the whole thing is feeling alarmingly real right now.

Uploaded some mixes from the Sleepytime Village game soundtrack for @lightfootbrosgames.bsky.social to review and Soundcloud is suggesting the hashtags ‘Classical’ and ‘ContemporaryClassical’ so I guess I’m a classy proper composer now. #classy #proper #composer, if you will.

Me, complaining over the last couple of weeks: are all album releases reissues nowadays?! Surely all the reissues have been done now?! Me, this morning: Omg Rubber Soul 2026 mix is amazing the clarity the detail the oh god I’m the problem.
Looking forward to reading the hell out of this later.
David Bryant@23daves.bsky.social · 3w agoBlog update: The Timelords aka The KLF reached number one in both the national and NME Indie Charts with "Doctorin' The Tardis". It's a track you could write off as a cheeky novelty hit, except unlike most novelty discs, it's proven enduring to many of us. indienumber1s.blogspot.com/2026/09/117-...
Reminds me of the Blake's 7 script that said something like "The space station was magnificent", and Dear Dear Vere scribbled next it "Best not to say that, dear. Chances are it won't be.".
Good read, this. Some of my happiest memories are of living in the back of a van on tour, but the lows were epic. One thing I’m glad we did was stop at places to break up the journeys between shows and to do touristy things. Good for the old sanity, but even with that there were moments of madness.
Drowned in Sound@index.www.drownedinsound.org.ap.brid.gy · 3w agoEmma Wilkes asks - if one of the biggest popstars in the world is struggling, what must it be like for everyone else?
Because I do love an epic quest and David is very much on an epic quest. @davidbcooper.bsky.social I just backed Every Simpsons Character Ever Vol 1 - a book! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/eve...

Another wonderful issue of Debug in the post today, along with a great piece from Lightfoot Bros. I always love it when I get a mention too! Cheers, mate! Sleepytime Village is out on October 30th! @lightfootbrosgames.bsky.social @debugmag.com
And then Season 5… 1. The Enemy of the World 2. The Wheel in Space 3. The Web of Fear 4. The Tomb of the Cybermen 5. The Abominable Snowmen 6. The Ice Warriors 7. Fury from the Deep Bit of a grind doing this one in order. Would happily never watch another base experience a siege ever again.

One last push for this first issue. Free to read, and there are free and £1.00 tiers for future issues. Give it a go. If you like films. If you don’t, probably best not bothering. Unless you have more money than sense. Which @ £1.00 is unlikely.

Cracking write up of a phenomenal single. Watching S’Express performances from the late 80s is seeing an act that looks like *the* most fun to be in of all time, and that joy spreads out of the records. That run of three singles - and the parent album - are terrific.
David Bryant@23daves.bsky.social · 2mo agoBlog update: "Theme From S'Express" was the second number one in the NME Indie Charts to also reach number one in the national charts. Inclusivity was at its heart - it cared not for cool cuts, and whether you were in a club or at home, it sought to thrill your feet into moving.
Anyone have thoughts on best extended mixes of songs? Bought to you by listening to the extended version of Alba’s Only Music Survives, which is one of the very finest. So good it just feels like the correct length, with any shorter version being not enough. youtu.be/8gZ-oEdFcVA?...

What I love about this book is that I’ve read it a couple of times and each time it’s resonated in a very different way. Whilst I’m not ready to accept it was that long ago, happy 20th!
Kieron Gillen@kierongillen.bsky.social · 2mo agoIt's only now I remember today is the 20th anniversary of this coming out. There's not really words, though I'm sure I'll find a few thousand for the newsletter. "We are twice as far from Rue Britannia as Rue Britannia was from Britpop" is certainly a thought. The other is: thank you, McK.
Went and re-read this because it was A Big Deal at the time and I have vaguely happy memories of it as such. Cor! Early 90s comics were overwrought AF, weren’t they? So many captions, so much OTT dialogue. Not a naturalistic line in the entire story. Not much subtlety, but…
