In 1978 Michael Powell and John Laurie returned to Foula, the island where they filmed "The Edge of the World" forty years previously. It's a beautiful documentary - one of my favourites - and you can watch it for free via BFI Player here. player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/wa...

The world’s first pocket music player was this tiny Mikiphone from the 1920s. A gramophone like machine. www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/... Invented by Hungarian siblings Miklós and Étienne Vadász though produced in Switzerland. It could fit in a pocket, though only played 10” records.

First review yesterday, in @thetls.bsky.social of all places, and it couldn't really have been better. #GetKeshed

Linocut album cover artwork for @pgofton.bsky.social ‘Pagodas’ released under ‘The All Golden’ moniker. It’s a collection of recordings and songs he made as a teenager and in his twenties and it’s remarkably good and one of my studio favourites when I’m printing….

I've mainly been on the Bowie adjacent but have been dumping bits on the playlist. Soul Jazz Junglist comp things, Tucker Zimmerman, Craven Faults, Deary, Anna von Hausswolff: open.spotify.com/playlist/7zQ...

Yet another repost for a thing I love dearly, because it's brilliant and I want as many people to hear it as possible - a complete day of broadcast radio from WJSV Washington, 21st September 1939. Everything from soup to nuts, from Godfrey in the morning to the Big Band Remotes at night.

Now up for pre-order 'Wulfrun' by The Balloonist. An homage to the 1960s, open air shopping parade in Wolverhampton, UK. Covered over in the late 90s, the original was testament to the post-war futurism that drove architecture for a short while... digital.waysideandwoodland.com/album/wulfrun

Apparently taken OTD 2010. A battered suitcase of tapes for sampling. I still have them in the loft somewhere. This was in Gateshead when i lived by the Staiths/Tyne. We had large communal bins & I remember binning the suitcase full of junk when I moved, felt like dumping a body....

Dear Roy, Before Christmas you had a Wheelie Bin pinched. I have just had a Satellite Dish taken from my garden. I used this as a Parabolic Reflector for recording Birdsong. So if anyone sees this at a car boot sale, be careful as it may be Radioactive.

Merry Christmas Folks have a wonderful day: soundcloud.com/coneyislands...

Nice to see this still doing the rounds over a decade later!

I'm digging around for some Christmas suggestions on the ucsb archive site. Surprised to find that the first recording of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was by Gene Autry in 1949 (topping the chart in January 1950). www.youtube.com/watch?v=44bL...

So the family home has moved on and I've found a couple of boxes of misc. from the loft. Maybe a thread here of bits I've found.

Remarkable work that @citiesandmemory.bsky.social does and this yearly effort is always worth your time. (They've also separately just released another annual project, _Sounds of the Year 2025_.)
