All the winning, so much winning

DRRROOO)))NNE Among other things this reminds me that back when Tate had that massive Rothko retrospective, I wandered around it listening to Earth's 'Bees Made Honey...' I tried some jazz, a few other things but it was all too busy. Sure the SUNN O))) lads would have approved. New one is great

Bigging up the best small festival. In the last few days they've also confirmed Hang Linton, Harry Gorski Brown, Jennifer Reid, Lucifer Sky, Monoxide Brothers, Peiriant and Thorn Wych. Sold out now though. Good times on the happy streets of Digbeth. See you there, music lovers

Me, scribbling down stray thoughts about the Gnew Gnod. The cover art transports me to the Land of Ooo. Come along with me

Fizzing banger, new/imminent on Feel It/Wrong Speed records May or may not be about hiding in the stationey cupboard crying but if it is, I fully endorse this message youtu.be/1zJV3pL0SEE?...

Well, that's scratching my brain in a very agreeable way

Review | SUNN O))) – SUNN O))) by @ouchmonkey.bsky.social "This is not passive, you need to engage if you want the good stuff, you’ve got to meet it somewhere. In this album’s case, that’s out in the woods." echoesanddust.com/2026/04/sunn... @subpop.bsky.social

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

Festival Preview | @roadburnfest.bsky.social "Roadburn’s real magic isn’t always the obvious picks — it’s the under-the-radar sets: strange, heavy, danceable, confrontational, and impossible to neatly label." - By @svdd76.bsky.social echoesanddust.com/2026/04/road...

Strangers From The Universe #TFUL282

Nice piece on Thinking Fellers a band I loved very much and, while I fully accept they're an odd bunch, not for everyone, I do wish they were more widely known

🎯 (I mean, we might. As it's Easter I could nod to the dim view JC took of the rich long before there were billionaire tax exiles squealing in the press but this is a pretty sharp response to Dyson's bleating.)

Turns out this poster is how I discover I still think Corgan is a bigger prick than Morrissey. #moanyoldgits

Who wouldn't want to see this reboot of The Italian Job. Sounds awesome.

Menswear tips galore, no?

If you see this, post a concert photo you took.

British Summer Time is it? Straight up banger from excellent new Hey Colossus record, on the tyranny of the clock among other things Top notch guesting from Claire off of Objections here too @heycolossus.bsky.social youtu.be/TA6y9rl-W3k?...

Reminder that if you’re in Brum on Sunday we’re playing at this amazing little event - huge market of electronic gadgets & instrument builders beforehand (including the maniacal machines of our own @farmerglitch.bsky.social ) & then sweaty psychedelic goodness afterwards. Fun for all the family.

You have to concede, the evidence continues to mount up

Morning bastards. Let's try and do today in such a way that we deserve Mavis 💙 youtu.be/HAZGQG3yHNo?...

Who would be the worst pick to play Mr Benn in this very bad idea. Wife says James Corden. Imagine. As if the world ain't bad enough already

I think this is the news we all needed today www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma... #mrbenn @thebowlerhatman.bsky.social

Sad times. To say you 'loved' that place might be a stretch, a reassuring sense of continuity maybe, but many good, blurry, even oddly significant, things occurred here for me. In the weird bar with a laundry in back and the worst toilets on Decatur. Sorry to see it go www.nola.com/gambit/news/...

On this day 60 years ago in Newport News Virginia, Bob “The Boss” Dylan “went electric” when he started DJing EDM at what fans expected to be a folk music concert. Some disappointed attendees chanted “Judas!”, calling for the folk band Judas Priest to replace him on the stage.

Review | mclusky - I sure am getting sick of this bowling alley by @ouchmonkey.bsky.social "Vivid with life and unease. As always with mclusky there's biting tunes, dark wit, and terse wisdom." echoesanddust.com/2026/03/mclu...

Pub later? New banger from @shitrock.bsky.social etc. Out today youtu.be/2TBUGgeeXa8?...

"I wear very good shoes..." apparently it's Lee Perry's birthday so, an upsetter tune for #FallFriday youtu.be/3Jc4FMPWJRs?...

Amazing set from Dame Area at @hareandhounds.bsky.social last night

Have you seen that 'what was the 90s like' bollocks? They picked 'Iris' when this spiky little maniac actual POP HIT was right there? Thirty years old FFS. Not even a big fan tbh but this is an incredible clip. Fuck yer Brit Pop. #firestarter youtu.be/IRNKLzix0Og?...

I wouldn't dream of it.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

On Sat 28 March in London, Birmingham will be making its voice heard. Right wing politicians & commentators love to use our city as a symbol of everything that they hate about this country. Our message will be clear: BIRMINGHAM IS NOT BROKEN. BIRMINGHAM IS UNITED! @togetheralliance.bsky.social

Happy St Patrick’s Day!☘️

Good blast of WD40, leave it ten minutes, sharp knock with a wrench, Bob's yer uncle.

On 16th March, 1968 Warrant Officer Hugh Thompson Jnr was flying helicopter recon for a US attack on My Lai, an alleged Viet Cong-controlled village in Vietnam. But as the attack developed below, Thompson realised he was witnessing something something else: A massacre. He decided to act. 1/28

Why is Taco Bell, especially in the UK, so insultingly shit? Why are they scared of heating the food? Or making a burrito too large for a toddler to hold? And how is it still quite enjoyable despite all this... Pic of the devil's soda pop (never read the label) #ShitFood @tacobell.bsky.social

"It's taken shape gradually, even glacially, over the course of all her releases" Hard Hearted Woman, the new album by British Columbia-born indie-folk artist ORA COGAN, is out Friday – read our ★★★★ review www.theskinny.co.uk/music/review... @oracogan.bsky.social

Seems in a state of late night 'enthusiasm' I made an arse of that post. Here's the tune that was meant to be in it. Really a cracking Peel session that one - the full collection is amazing if a little inconsistent but this one's a beauty #TheFallEveryday youtu.be/Fs-pvnYkSXY?...

"on visiting him this was found to be true. An odor resembling hot dogs permeated the whole bedroom..." Still Fall Friday in the States, out on the west coast there... #FallFriday @iheartnoise.bandcamp.com

Dunno why this just bounced enthusiastically into my head but... always welcome, what a belter of a tune #Undertones youtu.be/zmCxViWX0U8?...

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.
