I'm back on Saturday with a lovely journey of beats and treats. As always, it would be lovely if some of you could join me, for those that can't and fancy a listen, the catch-up link should follow on Monday #TSH www.lovewillsavetheday.fm

"You are a 56-yo doing strange outsider music for the last 40 years. No one cares, yet still you persist, out of pure spite. You once laughed at someone from Sony who wanted to send A&R. A boutique Japanese label will reissue you on the 20th anniversary of your death in abject poverty".

I think I may finally be totally disconnected from today's rave culture

Sara would rip my face off, so what is this? Wrong answers only.

More Bandcamp codes. Take them. I have no use for them cewv-5qqh crs8-78g5 sl42-5nnf pcpw-7avm 769e-wh27 vn2f-cewv 7amm-w3c8 m786-xs42 95u2-esec nr5a-udrw wm7g-jlw4 cg53-yeda su7m-77wb pl5f-vvlw rs6v-y8ps u74r-cq7t vmsd-wtp7 68qc-h275 nurc-5cmf shadowdancermusic.bandcamp.com/album/1997-1...

I'm doing this reminiscin' shit. Indulge me. We started a band with school friends in '86, I think, which is 40 years ago. None of us could play, or sing, or anything really. We just felt inspired by the music we were buying and listening to, to try and do our own thing. Which is the point of punk.

And if loud distorted guitars and anguished screams are more your type of thing, there are still nnnnn-nineteen (19) codes to claim here for this cursèd zombie albatross of an album from 1997: band.codes/ishma/lost-ep

Smashing the indentured musician exploitation system one yum code at a time: g9gp-uyb7 y2ub-5f4v 2v5m-bpv8 ag69-xnt2 8t3u-eauh kilimmosh.bandcamp.com/yum

Biiiig stretch

Official Bluesky hymn just dropped. Love Ranch Dressing Flavor Flav in the background going: "Social, yeah bwoy!"

Today's procrastination challenge: Nominatively determine a politician by changing a single letter in their name. Matt Hencock

Reupping for the morning shift, or the other way around, if you're elsewhere. It's a bit doomy, a bit shellacy and 100% grain-fed, hand-reared weirdcore.

If you like loud distorted guitars and would like to hear what I sounded like in 1997 while coming apart at the seams, there's a bunch of yum codes here. band.codes/ishma/lost-ep #punk

I would not say no if one of those cubes hit on me.

You can get fucked, yeah. There is simply no justification for this type of massive overreach and indefinite PII disclosure risk.

This is how to get that warm analogue oomph from a mixer: chili oil.

Was just reminded of this pic 7 years ago when I tried to make gluten-free poopies for my ex.

To the eternal surprise of my friends, I'm really not much of a metalhead. That said, I basically think all metal should be mandated to be faintly ridiculous in a campish, offbeat way but with cool heavy riffs. Like this. It works much better than e.g. nu metal machismo. youtu.be/rQixE9aPd0w?...

it's sunny

Not best, quickest I liked looking.

"From the way she sashayed right on in and plopped effortlessly onto my sofa, I knew she was just a two-bit showgirl straight out of Troubleville. Yet I also knew I would be powerless to resist her".

CW: Forbidden

Reminder: if you like weird trippy electronic music with weird trippy visuals, instead of watching that tiny excerpt everyone else is currently watching, have a look at the 27-minute(!) found footage video we made with @xenomanes.bsky.social recently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=snAX...

Meanwhile, back in the rumpus rooom, the party was in full swing.

We are, and so sorry for the frustration in the meanwhile! If we were to find a place to post information like this so that general users—or journalists in particular—could look to get reassurance that there's a bug and the team is working on it, what's the most natural place to look for it?

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Cheering myself up watching The Boys S05. As usual, the tie-ins to our cursed timeline are yikes (laudatory).

1/ This Yanis Varoufakis screed made me so angry the only way I can salvage my day is to go through it line by line as catharsis. You are welcome to come on the journey toward my aneurism with me. An angry h/t to @sianushka.bsky.social for bringing this into my life. unherd.com/2026/04/why-...

"Death to the tyrant Jared Leto!"

Sara got caught speeding on Sunday

Most gigs I've seen, and big may be an overstatement, but Dinosaur with about 13 other people present. Epic fucking sound.

We met our friend Raga yesterday, who normally lives in Luxembourg.

Secondly, much like yodelling, death metal is actually an ancient Alpine tradition, used to communicate between isolated valleys during the harsh winters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLyT...

In the spirit of international harmony, and because there's a lot of misinformation on this site about "Europe", I am going to share some fascinating, little-known, but entirely true facts about "our" culture (which is entirely homogeneous). First up, spaghetti actually grows on trees.

Ok, ok, I'll use the damn chatbot feed generator, but only on the provision it allows me to excise all the inane American hot takes about "Europe" from my timeline.

This isn't spite, a call to arms, or anything, but third WC in a row I'll be boycotting now (can just about remember '74). I just can't with FIFA. They don't deserve my eyeballs.

You honestly couldn't pay me enough to attend, even if you dipped me in pure LSD-25 and then battered me in the finest Peruvian marching powder.

Day 2: tomato base, mozzarella, shallots, one small finely sliced potato, marinated ground pork ersatz salsiccia, thyme and chili flakes

This is pretty cool but also reinforces why I dislike Mac hw: the cost of using that aluminium case bottom as an extended heatsink *by default* would have been negligible.
