For tonight's whisky pairing... A day late. Celebrating 20 years of this extraordinarily beautiful piece of work from a visionary artist 🧡x ##NowPlaying

Look what got hand-delivered by @swatkiss.bsky.social @ellibin.bsky.social. What a lovely surprise! Found out that my name is also credited on the CD. Thank you so much Paul and Mrs LK @lippykidmusic.bsky.social Cue Dot Records. Received your message to say hello to me ;) xx

Still so much to learn for this Man United team.

Mbeumo. He's so good!

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

Eleanor Gittens, 107, and Lyle Gittens, 108. The world's longest married couple at 83 years. When asked for their secret they simply replied 'we love each other' 💙x www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

All set up Derby Book Festival with our own books and a carefully curated selection from across the indie presses and some writers I absolutely love!! @drewgum.bsky.social is popping by to sign a few copies of 🦩🏩 as well - so looking forward to catching up with him!! Here until 4pm!! #booksky

Well that was bloomin' brilliant! Great to see Martin Fry looking fit and well these days too. What a wonderful night 🙏x

Mrs LK picked up a couple of last minute tickets to catch ABC in their steel city home. Slowly starting to fill up. Should be a good night x

Some positive news being reported by the Campaign for the Arts. After years of campaigning, it would appear we are finally getting desperately needed reforms to tackle declining arts education in England’s schools. Much to do, but its a start x www.campaignforthearts.org/news/curricu...

What a beautifully written piece this is for a truly exceptional album. Celebrating Katen Bush's 'Aerial' as it reaches 20 years old 💙x bsky.app/profile/jahd...

I'm delighted to announce that 'Hydrology' (DiN94), the debut album on DiN by @loulayorke.bsky.social (Loula Yorke) is now available on limited edition Digipak CD, download as well as a fine art print of the cover. dinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hydrol...

HAPPY RELEASE DAY jilk.bandcamp.com/album/fix-yo... Wonderful to get FIX YOUR HEARTS, our new album, out into the world. You can now stream the album in full via Bandcamp. Digital and around a dozen CDs still available.

Wow! I've no idea how that happened, but what a fantastic ending to a fantastic series. Well played all involved 👏 x #CelebrityTraitors

Turning more thoughts towards the upcoming #5debutalbums1014 poll. I can say with a fair degree of certainty that this will make my five. Just in case the moderation filter blocks the image, I am of course talking about the magnificent self-titled debut from AWVFTS x #NowPlaying

Mrs LK has just asked 'would you like a slice of Parkin with your cup of tea?' They can probably hear my roar of approval from the other side of The Pennines x

The Cure 1980 New York

Always good to take our annual visit the RSPCA centre in Chesterfield. Keeping up the tradition of donating our former annual fireworks budget to them. Nice to meet a few temporary residents too and even better to hear they'll be in new homes soon 🙏🐱🐶x

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Thanks once again to all continually reading, sharing and interacting with these posts. Now entering the final seven albums with a few thoughts on the joy of the unpredictability of a music icon. 52 Albums To Shape A Soul - Part 46 🙏x lippykidmusic.substack.com/p/52-albums-...

A nice midweek treat to receive in the post today. Rumours have it that Kate is currently working on new music. For the moment I'll remain content with this new addition to the collection 🙏x #NowPlaying

Just been listening to this from @danmud.bsky.social. What a beautiful piece of music and a perfect space to escape to for a moment x bsky.app/profile/danm...

The Anywhere But Westminster documentaries by @johnharris1969.bsky.social continually provide some of the best insight available in how political discourse impacts our towns and cities. This latest update is no exception. If you're looking for hope, you may find it here x youtu.be/N79jV1waf4g?...

“As a long time fan of PJ Harvey I strongly believe that ‘Let England Shake’ was the album that finally cemented her position as one of the all-time greats of British music” @lippykidmusic.bsky.social spot on as always lippykidmusic.substack.com/p/52-albums-...

Another fabulous article from LK, about a most singular artist, always pushing, always changing, always challenging. And, of course, a remarkable album.

Giving a little more thought to #5debutalbums1014 this evening. I'm reminded that it was a fantastic period for debut electronica releases. These are two that will almost certainly make my cut, both who've gone on to sit amongst my favourite producers x

Good morning. My latest post in my 52 Albums To Shape A Soul is now online. ICYMI and fancy a short read to kick off your week you'll find the link below 🙏 x bsky.app/profile/lipp...

From Charlie Kirk to CCHQ, the right has realised they can lie and not be challenged. Why? In this week’s column, Stewart Lee looks at the ways populists mislead modern voters

Today the veil between the world of the living and the world of those who have passed on is at its thinnest. It is in this powerful liminal state that I’m honoured to share my new EP, Æternum, a spiritual accompaniment to A Requiem

Been otherwise occupied these last few weeks, but finally spent some time catching up with Paul's recent posts on the significant albums in his life. This latest one is no exception in what is a wonderful series. Never too late in life to (re)discover your creativity.

This provided a perfect soundtrack for a late drive back from MCR across the Pennines last night. 6 music mix introduced by @maryannehobbs.bsky.social. A mix inspired by film music by Haxan Cloak. Superb 🙏x www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Finally coming round after a brilliant night at Duran Duran's Halloween party in Manchester last night. Band and audience in fine form. Love the way the setlist had a few prompts for Simon Le Bon's in-between song banter too 🖤🧛‍♂️👻

Bizarre. So I'm guessing the artist performing directly in front of us in a tent at Latitude festival, answering to the name Axel Willner on Friday night in 2012 was a very convincing tribute act!

Out today c/o the @castlesinspace.bsky.social CD imprint Lunar Module. 'Dispatch All Gods' by R.Seiliog Wonderful ambient, electronic music. Highly recommended x lunar-module.bandcamp.com/album/dispat...

Pushing his music further, Wilks’ second EP is a lovely slab of electronica. My review joyzine.org/2025/10/31/e... @wilksmusic.bsky.social @joyzineuk.bsky.social

Here at last - brand new *Sound Waves* 📻 Couple of weeks behind schedule, but includes all the usual goodness - thanks in advance for sharing and/or listening! xx www.mixcloud.com/vpraudioclub...

I had the pleasure of collaborating with R.Seiliog on the Cue Dot Series during the pandemic through which he released 'Ash Dome'. I'm now delighted to see he's finally following up with 'Dispatch All Gods' via the @castlesinspace.bsky.social imprint Lunar Module. Its beautiful. Out tomorrow 💙x

Ahead of the official Delia Derbyshire Day in November, our next record club session celebrates the work of the pioneering musician and sound artist. Full details here #DeliaDerbyshire #BBCRadiophonicWorkshop glossoprecordclub.wordpress.com/2025/10/30/1...

Currently trying to talk Mrs LK into securing a second mortgage so we can make a bid ⚡️💙x www.bonhams.com/auction/3161...

🤣 That's you, that is.

Finally hearing news from cousins living in Jamaica. They're used to how bad the storms can be there, but from their accounts Hurricane Melissa has been another level. The damage sounds pretty devastating. Just relieved to hear that they're all safe and well 🙏 x

Minority representation on TV causes outrage From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

This is such a wonderful read, and now I'm off to listen to The Field.
