Bill Cummings at @godisinthetvzine.bsky.social writes about the Open Letter we release today, challenging the catastrophic cuts BBC Radio Scotland are making to late-night radio. Please share. godisinthetvzine.co.uk/2025/12/17/n... @findlaynapier.bsky.social @monorailmusic.bsky.social

Last bandcamp friday of 2025 - use code vhf30 for 30% off of everything at vhfrecords.bandcamp.com or vhfrecords.com. Don't forget to order "Persian Carpets" by Daniel O'Sullivan & Richard Youngs if you want to really, really live!!! @nofansrecords.bsky.social

The new Richard Youngs album, coming out tomorrow, is an AOTY (I have a review copy, am reviewing it for WXDU) It's an album "that seems to have more to do with dub or early hip-hop than high-brow models of musical reductionism," says @bandcamp.com nofansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hidden

Out today on Black Truffle, our last release for 2025 is HIDDEN by the inimitable RICHARD YOUNGS. Like little else in contemporary music, Youngs’ work beams with the simple joys of exploration & experiment. LP+Digital: blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/hidden

Available direct from me, my new album on Black Truffle. Mailing out with free risograph Youngsie and Creation Room postcards. www.nofansrecords.com/shop/richard...

New Richard Youngs LP now available! www.anost.net

Instalment No. 9 of “Here is a Big Place” now available. Recorded at The #BritanniaPanopticon Music Hall in Glasgow with #RichardYoungs on wild analog synth and me playing Colombian Gaita. Early next year we start mixing and layering the instalments. www.hereisabigplace.com

Fresh synth-heavy sounds from the Panopticon, Glasgow. Apologies to @raymondmacd.bsky.social for drowning out his Columbian gaita. It will all be good when we megamix the many big places together: www.hereisabigplace.com/9

Just back from a very enjoyable Here Is A Big Place session with @raymondmacd.bsky.social at the Britannia Panopticon, Glasgow:

Lovely job, thanks Lasse.

Richard Youngs switches it up again on his third Black Truffle episode, serving two long sides of bone-dry kosmische sequences and asymmetric vocalisations that land somewhere between Manuel Göttsching x Conrad Schnitzler, with an inimitable slant boomkat.com/products/hid...

Many years ago @nofansrecords.bsky.social & Andrew Paine would write & record a Xmas song and send it out to friends and family on CDR. Strictly limited editions. Two of these tracks are now available on Bandcamp for the festive period. Enjoy and share widely 🎅

pre-order the Daniel O'Sullivan & Richard Youngs "Persian Carpets" LP and I'll send you a crudely-drawn sticker w/this rooster. vhfrecords.com or bandcamp or etc!!! Out Jan 23, 2026, distributed by Revolver USA! @nofansrecords.bsky.social

Super excited to be releasing another record on Black Truffle. Copies are on their way to Scotland and it’ll be available direct from me in a week or so, should you wish.

Coming December 5th: kompakt.fm/releases/hid... Thanks @orenambarchi.bsky.social for asking, @lassemarhaug.bsky.social for design, and Francis Plagne for writing.

The BBC Scotland commentary for Kenny McLean’s halfway line goal is glorious. Stuff of dreams. 🔥 Congratulations #Scotland, see you at the World Cup.

Excited for this. Belatedly see in the New Year with🥁🎸🎹🎤

Change of venue. Now at Old Hairdressers.

I have copies. Opened one up, it’s a lovely pressing of a live to tape session at Glasgow’s Green Door Studio. Daniel’s on piano, I’m on zither. Good times.
