Is it me or do they show Dante’s Peak quite an inordinate amount on Film 4?

This is what is going on.

Genuine question for my comic friends. Do people still heckle? If so - what are some you’ve heard where you’ve thought…’fair enough’…

Yesterday I walked through the Barbican’s fabulous modernist landscape. I was carrying a long roll of wrapping paper, but despite the floral design I still managed to feel like Alex and his droogs from Clockwork Orange wielding a cane - about to whack Warren Clarke’s cricket box in slow motion.

Bad typists of the world untie!

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

sometimes when I'm sad I go on my photos from seven years ago from a holiday to Portugal when I saw two stuffed lions who look like Neil and Christine Hamilton

Is there another band that burned as brightly and as briefly as Buffalo Springfield? Three albums in less than 3 years then gone. Sure, you got Stills, Young and Poco out of it. Plus Jim Messina. But wow - there’s not one song in their output that isn’t breathtakingly sublime and heartwarming.

I spoke in Parliament today about the fact that AI lies. It's a basic fact of machine learning tools that seems to pass many people by, because there's little to no education about what they are, and are not.

Michael Brecker honking like a mad thing on Paul Simon’s concert in Central Park is wonderful. More EWI in modern music please!

Saw this happy little chappie enjoying the sunshine. #foxoftheday

Honestly - the way that the Sonos connection goes in and out is pretty frustrating. Does anyone else have this first work problem?

This by @jasonhazeley.bsky.social is just gorgeous www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

‘The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys’ by Traffic doesn’t get nearly enough credit as it should. For me that the Wiltshire ‘Aja’. Absolutely beautiful stuff.

Care for a metaphor? #thameswater

It happens every now and again - I get totally obsessed with one song and have to listen to it over and over. I’m sure that not so unusual… … Anyhoo, right now it’s ’Night Owl’ by Gerry Rafferty. Absolutely killer structure and melody, plus beautiful engineering. Bravo! 👏

Campari & Lemonade.

I’ve just found out that there’s a ‘Go Ape’ adventure park near Milton Keynes. Made me think of this… youtu.be/QDfvLzrDBug?...

@chrisgpackham.bsky.social Hi Chris. How can my dad share his ‘Fox of the day’ photo with you? Is there a submission box?

I’ve only posted a handful of times on here but already I’m getting some bots/fake accounts following me. Has anyone else had the same experience? Is there something that can be done?

youtube.com/watch?v=iWna... Following on from yesterday - I couldn’t resist posting this beautiful piece of baroque pop, rock, whatever you want to call it… Flávio Venturini ‘Jardim Das Delícias’ from his first solo LP. An absolute treat. 🧵

youtube.com/watch?v=VTs8... Here’s another fantastic song - this time ‘Queimada’ from O Terço, released 50 years ago this year. Features the guitar wiz Sergio Hinds and another Minas Geraes singer/songwriter Flávio Venturini. 🧵

Beautiful day out in Epping Forest today. For someone who used to live in the Canadian rockies, these wintry walks through the woods are a lovely dose of nostalgia. Magic.

Beautiful if cold n frosty morning in Wanstead Park today.

youtube.com/watch?v=-8kM... Another post that no one has asked me for - but another fantastic song that I love. This time it’s Beto Guedes and ‘Feira Moderna’. Written by Beto along with Lô Borges (see yesterday’s post) and Fernando Brant. 🧵

Hiya - I’m here only to try and post things that i love and occasionally twl you about musical things I’m involved in - if you’re interested… This is a song I’ve been mildly obsessed with and only just learnt the chords to today. Lô Borges ‘Vento De Maio’ 🧵 youtube.com/watch?v=erCu...

Been listening to The Strawbs ‘From The Witchwood’ album this morning. It’s a good one. Tony Visconti production.

I love my Van Buren socks - courtesy of the venue itself in Phoenix, AZ. #tourmerch #socks #vanburenboys

Off to see the fantastic Pat Metheny this evening at The Barbican. Anyone else coming along?

Wanstead Flats.
