It's 303 day, so here's my tale from the peripherals of acid house in 1988 rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-34...

Today at 1pm (UK) I am back on NTS Radio for two hours of ace music, incl a bunch of exclusives. Tune in, turn on, drop off. Don’t assume. www.nts.live

Happy #303Day - I always forget to post this on #101Day which may or may not be a thing so as it’s the most 303-adjacent thing I’ve worked on (it’s 6:06 long too TR fans!) here it is. Shout to @titeknots for the live freakin’ & tweekin’ on the faders! olympiccycloneband.bandcamp.com/album/breakb...

I finished something big just now! I recently photographed all my vinyl, CDs and other merch to pretty up my online shop, and I just finished uploading everything and reorganising it. It feels very nice to have this all looking sharp: shop.penfriend.rocks

Did you know my brain tumour is incurable? That's likely because just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to brain cancer since 2002. That's why I'm walking 10k steps per day in February to raise funds for @braintumourrsch.bsky.social www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...

As well as looking for submissions, we are looking for your suggestions. New or old. All help/suggestions greatly appreciated. No AI, No Fascists, No Bigots #metal #metalsky #music #musicsky untidyradio.com/metal-sugges...

Some of my fave album covers, from a design standpoint, are among those from Prestige Records in the '50s. I mean, just check out the Hank Mobley cover that's in this article. Gorgeous. Said article is about a new book I'd love to get my hands on: 'WAIL: The Visual Language of Prestige Records':

Blimey, there’s a lot to love about walkman.land, not least the fact that it looks like a classic tDR flash site from 1998. I may even be able to resurrect my trusty Panasonic RX-1925 that I got for my 14th birthday in ‘86. It last played tapes in New York, Dec ‘99. walkman.land/panasonic/rx...

The internet hosts several very good Walkman/personal stereo archive sites, but this is the slickest yet walkman.land Thanks @kottke.org The others will be linked below

New & Notable: The Du-Rites are back! A new EP reaffirms their funky bona fides in its deep grooves.

You've probably seen some videos of the Clark Family Band over the years, but here's a recent cover, and a terrific one at that. You can't muck about when it's Al Green you're tackling, and they do not muck about. Whilst simultaneously mucking about a bit too, of course. youtu.be/ohkKT2uHW9A?...

This week’s show info: open.substack.com/pub/adamwalt... link to listen / playlist / links to all artists / stats / map / dancing parrot 🦜

I created a big anonymous survey for sound designers / musicians & other audio creators. The goal is to better understand our community, how people work & connect to other audio artists. I'd really aprpeciate it if you took the time to answer it an share it around: forms.gle/u2Wr9pezJPC2...

You still have all afternoon to get to Kingston for a dig thru the #BanquetRecords Blowout Bonanza Bargain Boxes … Some overstocks, some with slight seam splits, some with slight water damage and some things that remain unidentified. #vinylrecords #records #vinyl #recordcollection

That said we need gear and have ecologists and contractors to hire to get the bigger stuff done. The land purchase wiped us out and the Warleigh Task Force only get us so far. That’s why we’ve launched a second crowdfunder. Buy us “a pint” and get it doubled. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/warleigh-n...

I may have been to the @banquetrecords.com Flash Sale today. (Of course I’ve been to the Banquet Records Flash Sale, did you not spot the Reel Big Fish LP?) But seriously, u should go to Banquet Records Flash Sale tomorrow, it’s in the old Spuds cafe next door to the shop, records are a fiver.

For #TSH catch-up crew. Enjoy! www.mixcloud.com/lwstd-fm/202...

Just seen on the Acid Jazz Records Instagram that someone has nicked James Taylor’s tour van with his two Hammond C3 organs in (that he’s had since forming JTQ in the mid ‘80s) and I am absolutely raging on his behalf. Hoping the UK Hammond community will be able to find and return them pronto.

Vibrant new purchase from last week’s #bandcampfriday was this excellent new tape from Graham Dunning & DJ Food - ‘E-x-t-e-n-d-e-d Turntablism Vol.1’ #CasSunday #MusicChallenge

30 minutes to go. Treat yourself for the next hour and then enjoy the music. #music #musicsky #radio #podcast #musician

Happy Funky Valentine’s Day to all who celebrate x www.mixcloud.com/DrRubberfunk...

A Valentine created by an individual whose identity is currently unknown to us, who was compelled to live at Netherne Hospital c.midC20th. This was made for art therapist Edward Adamson & is signed “the Netherne noodles” presumably a nickname for one of the groups who attended the art therapy studio

If you’ve finished Volume 1, Volume 2 is here : www.mixcloud.com/DrRubberfunk...
