This project keeps going of its own accord. I think it has achieved sentience. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

Also for a picture of Eno as hip young art teacher read @robynhitchcock.bsky.social's amazing memoir.

We also have totes, stripy: www.lrbstore.co.uk/collections/...

I keep wanting to draw Damon Albarn standing with his legs really really far apart, but it never quite happens

I'm sorry that is a lot of gak. Talk about white lines!

Everyone loves kittens.

the original is a banger:

He was very weary; the day had been long, and full of dragons.

Well folks I've made the London Review of Books say "totes amazeballs", so my work here is done.

I can tell the train is in the North now because they've turned the heating off.

I think this is the funniest one yet.

Farewell Campbell, Menzies Or should I say Mingiz? We've watched your career Through rose-tinted lingiz.

Anyone else look at passing motorbikes from the train and try to make them fall over using mind control?

A lot of people saying CHARLIE KIRK HATED THIS COUNTRY. I bet he didn't like DETECTORSTS either.

In the village of the Cockneys.

Having a "Wow In Spite Of All The Dangers is great" morning.

First reader review of AND OTHER STORIES

Can we have a shit music prom? Just all the shit music.

Quirky vehicle ahoyhoy!

These are amazing!

The @lrb.co.uk piece by Ian Penman this week on Brian Eno is, as the founder of ambient music might say, totes amazeballs.

He better not be driving a quirky vehicle.

"breaking" and "plan" do not belong together.

"scans room with narrowed eyes for British writers he is jealous of, finds none, relaxes."

The best thing about this getting funded today is that it is literally 3 weeks to the day since @quantick.bsky.social first suggested the idea to me… #followyourdreamskids

Like an early New Order single.

Goon Show 8.18: The Curse of Frankenstein. The title appears to have been chosen at random, as the episode features no curses or anyone called Frankenstein or anything relating to Mary Shelley's novel. #GoonForARun www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

If Trump didn't like the elevator he should have tried the lifts in his shoes.

I'm calling this Your Party Faction 8 and I love it so much.

Good hedgehogs always carry an echidna donor card.

Bloody Martin Clunes up to his tricks again.

Thanks everyone who pledged - LOST MOVIES OF HOLLYWOOD reached its target and Christmas will be wonderful again. If you'd still like to get this brilliant calendar, we're still open until October 7. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

Have they tried Your Party?

"Are we nearly there yet?"

So good, I've gone to the no trouble at all of tethering this with a related favourite. bsky.app/profile/frov...

"Thank God the Scooby Gang only eat fish - otherwise we'd never have realised that the Great Red Shark was Old Man Roberts!" "Yes and if it wasn't for you pescatarian kids, I'd have gotten away with it."

BUDGET THE HELICOPTER

I expect he gets his wife to read them out loud onto cassette so he can listen to them in the gym.

Richard Thompson, Kate Bush, Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, Everything But The Girl, David Sylvian, Talk Talk. And the Thunderbirds theme. The list goes on and on and on.

Danny Thompson has died. His work with Pentangle, especially his work with John Martyn... Jazzy, fluid, honey-like, shoulder-rolling and other terms that I'm going to struggle for because I can't write about music for toffee. But anyway. He was amazing and glorious and what a legacy he's left us.

I bet sometimes he even thinks about cancelling his subscriptions to them.

It must be exhausting for Starmer having to read all of those substacks telling him off every morning.
