A much-loved Welsh music venue has made a renewed appeal for help to remain open - finding itself at a crucial moment in its fight for survival.

@jemgilbert.bsky.social Mazzucato doing the rounds this last week and today we get the official launch of national 'Manchesterism', is this what Hall would call a conjuncture?

It was lovely to invite the grandmother to the new house for food today. 95 years old - still loud as a mofo, still staunch socialist...she's my inspiration

On this day in 1970, 'The Losers', the 26th and final episode of Manhunt, was broadcast.

You've humped your last Murry

6 showers in 3 days is some sort of record for me

"My dealer / Drives a three-wheeler...."

genuinely concerned that if AI goes bankrupt I might shrug so hard I dislocate both shoulders

For all those Scotland fans feeling down in the dumps, you should try supporting Wales/Cymru. We are stuck in an infinite loop of qualifiers until the wheels fall off

Listening to The Cure in my garden...imagine all those goths in this heat. He's doing Friday I'm in Love

Lovely Gorky's session here from Mark & Lard 1996. Patio Song is a working title of Lovely Day...delightful session from Frentè! too who are new to me www.mixcloud.com/karleldridge...

@kmilb.bsky.social Cascone's 'post digital music' article (2000) is prophetic about a return to craft... maybe part of the new condition is making music the algorithm can't place: weirdness as a kind of friction 2/2

@kmilb.bsky.social New weird Britain was possibly my fave ACFM episode yet. I prtly agree with J, there's nothing new in us turning strange, but the conditions are new. 1/2

Present from my eldest for Father's day

Did a Baker’s Dozen for @thequietus.com themed around reinvention of the guitar - half Still In A Dream era heroes and half their hallowed ancestors of noisepop chaos and sonic overload thequietus.com/interviews/b...

Is this world cup played in the dark?

We change PM more than I change my phone

If buying is no longer owning, then piracy isn't stealing

Shocked to hear this isn't the ITV world cup theme tune. Its got castanets on it youtu.be/1Z3-1QLzJzM?...

Sunday. 6pm. @noiseboxradio.com Me and @simonloverules.bsky.social playing songs and chatting. Join us.

@jemgilbert.bsky.social I think this should prompt an emergency CPP podcast with "fan favourite" Alan F?

playing KEYS live at Focus Wales 2026 www.facebook.com/KEYSband1 @focuswales.bsky.social // TUNE IN NOW: @bbcsounds

What in God's name has happened to eBay? eBay Live is peak enshittification. Bring back the quiet romance of drunk bidding on weird stuff without being assaulted by a livestreamer #enshittification

See my Baby Jive - Wizzzzard

Someone's only gone and posted the first Wings rehearsal whole 90mins of it @joegoodden.bsky.social youtu.be/rcLWx0HBJQE?...

Hands down the best crisp

Wtf has happened to ebay??

I’ve written more about statistics of the Guardian’s 100 best novels list, including: – Books that just missed out – Two errors in the data (Cather and Camus lost out) – Best novelists – Alternative rankings – Weirdest and least-weird ballots mpaldridge.github.io/blog/guardia...

@jemgilbert.bsky.social Britpop soundtrack to the Burnham campaign video youtu.be/x43kXRjfuEA?... as a listener predicted.

@jemgilbert.bsky.social late to the party but enjoying latest CPP immensely. LOTR analogy can by stretched further...Streeting as Boromir flawed by ambition, McSweeney as Wormtongue the corrosive whisperer to Starmer's Theoden...hell, Liz Truss is Gollum warped by the ring's power

I try not to do politics, but this...

Apex. Had my reservations as its a Netflix film...it was worse than I could have imagined. 90 mins of Eddie the Eagle indulging in playacting a psychopath. Absolute shite. Why do my family insist on paying for a Netflix subscription...no wait its me that pays for it!!! #angrydad

It's Cymru Cuts time, so I got a bit misty-eyed over the Super Furry Animals reunion. Gave nods to KEYS, Ynys, Mari Mathias, Dewin, Lisa O'Hare, Osgled, Otto Aday, Why Horses? while I was at it. for @godisinthetvzine.bsky.social

4.40am going to bed. Old school sort of night with the band listening to The Monkees all night, lush. Boy am I going to feel this come Wednesday

Modern politics: vote for a Jewish leader - get accused of antisemitism

I remember the first time I heard Nowhere Man it reminded me of this theme tune. Still does

Ahoy-hoy. Are you coming to see me play the first socially distanced gig since 2021 on Thursday? I can almost guarantee that you won’t get Covid.

Any excuse to play That Would be Something to a bunch of half-arsed students #lofi

It was a boomer that killed John Lennon...Just leaving that there, kids

Listening to this is a reminder of how ever green this article is

A banger of an album: Kickin' Child: The Lost Album 1965 share.google/tfkXIVVSh1T6...

Thank you for coming tonight you lovely people! #acidcommunism

Here's hoping we wake to a new green mp

“Aaand…that’s the end of my Ted Talk.”

Come and see me and these men play songs at my album launch on Thursday the 2nd of April at the Waiting Room in Stoke Newington. Fun guaranteed. Link in bio.

Happy 93rd Birthday to the mighty Yoko Ono. ‘I could have been squashed by that incredible amount of hatred. But then I found a way of transforming it into love.’

I need some piss chimes on my next album
