The lesser spotted airport pint. Emphasis on the singular. Seguramente hay otras diversiones al otro lado del puente 😂

#NP Aldous Harding | Train On The Island First spin of Aldous' most recent release and a perfect entry point to what I hope will be a very lazy Sunday indeed. It's beautifully recorded, and feels very warm and intimate. As I said, perfect for Sunday morning (with a cup of coffee) 👌 🎶 ☕

#NP Ellie O'Neill | Time Of Fallow Delighted with this speculative purchase from the ever dependable Plug'd Records. Debut (I think) album from Co. Meath artist Ellie O'Neill. Captivating songs a captivating voice, and a great Saturday night listen 👌 ellieoneill.bandcamp.com/album/time-o...

#NP Julia Holter I Materia A companion album, of sorts, to Something In The Room She Moves, but so wonderfully evocative and expansive in and of its self. There are those lush and addictive melodies to draw the listener in, and then fabulous rewards for attentive listening. Mint 👌

With @rickymca.bsky.social on overseas duty it falls to the #PROC representative to do the decent thing (noting that I'll be in Dublin anyway for the Manics double header in The Olympics on the Wednesday and Thursday). Mrs. B has given me the green light. I love it when a plan comes together 😂 👍

Really happy to be returning to Crane Lane in December. A great sold-out gig the last time we played there in February. A brilliant venue and a fantastic audience. Hope to see you on December 12th. Big thanks to Tom Keating and Crane Lane, Cork Tickets €17.5+bfee 👉 tinyurl.com/56busrt3

👀 First 100 on green vinyl: casual marketing genius 👍 The musical genius is a given, albeit a slightly haphazard one. Only joking. So looking forward to this release 😊 boamorte.bandcamp.com/album/signal...

A truly sad existence. Still I nailed the recommend 1.75 g downweight. New aural vistas beckon, if only 😂 🤣

Just when you're nicely relaxing comes the news of €10 item of 'essential performative audiophilia' being eight stops away. I'm considerably further away myself 😂

I am so far ahead of this curve that it's a little bit worrying to honest 😂 🤣 (performative audiophilia in the local no less 🎧 🎶 😎)

'Part of this is about optics. “Someone walking around with a portable CD player and wired headphones is signalling their sense of taste and cultural capital,” says brand strategist Alexi Gunner. He has labelled this trend “performative audiophilia”.' Oh yes! 😂 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Just reading about Susanne Sundfør's forthcoming album 'Revelations of Divine Love', which has been inspired, in part, by the 14th century writings of the mystic Julian of Norwich. If I had to pick a medieval town to live in etc. This will be amazing 👌 👍 🎶

#NP Pink Floyd | Eclipse (BBC Radio recordings 1970/1971) As the years roll by my appreciation of pre-Dark Side PF grows and grows. Concentrating tonight on the July 1970 recording, of which Atom Heart Mother is simply off the scale. Breathtaking ambition and realisation.

Further archival adventures await. PF John Peel recordings from 70/71. I passed up on this on Friday and was uneasy since 😂

#NP Tangerine Dream | Optical Race After BOC earlier I think I subconsciously needed this, one of my favourite TD albums. Released in 1988 when the band considered of Edgar Froese and Paul Haslinger, it captures two quite different musicians at the height of their game. Always a joy to play ▶️ 🎹 🎶

#NP Boards Of Canada | Inferno File under Saturday night entertainment, not. An all too tangible evocaion of our slow motion collective societal car crash, stunningly informed by superb inner and outer artwork. I might chance this one in the dark tomorrow night. Mint electronica 🎼 🎹 🎶

#NP Phoebe Bridgers | Lost Weekend Second spin of Phoebe's third and the cover holds the entry key for me: it's just a little elusive, but waiting to be found. I initially thought some of the musical embellishments were superfluous, but now I'm thinking not. There will definitely be further spins.

#NP Dire Straits I Communiqué Stop me if you've heard this (one) before: hands down my favourite Dire Straits album. I can remember somewhat lukewarm reviews on release, but it has totally stood the test of time. And it isn't all about the guitars: Pick Withers' drumming is simply sublime. Mint 👌

#NP The Durutti Column | Renascent A stunning late summer evening's listen. The music just hovers ever so lightly over everything. Looking forward to repeat listens to uncover the details and treasures that you feel are just waiting to be unearthed. A really lovely listen 🎶 👌 🎼

Nobody wants their weekend to peak too early, but carpe diem etc. Welcome to the weekend 😎

👀 Another eclipse coming up. No point in waiting too long....... 😉 😂

Finally made it. Just up the road as it turns out. The Waterboys on vinyl a most unexpected and welcome bonus. At this point I don't want to go home 😂
