I do hope this will include greater scrutiny over the editorial at BBC news. Despite allowing the toxic views of Fa***e to dominate their headlines yesterday, I note there isn't a word about this as part of their 'balanced reporting' on their website today... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

A double bill of Thunderbirds in the cinema? What a F.A.B. idea. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se...

Of all the offerings 6 music has to share with us, Afrodeutsche's wonderful Friday night show has to be one of the most underrated. An eclectic marvel and always introduces me to something new and worthy of further exploration 🙏x

Wonderful album to celebrate Daphne Oram’s centenary. Privileged to be among other great artists reimaginings of her sounds. @nonclsscl.bsky.social @magzhall.bsky.social @martasalogni.bsky.social link below 🎶🎶🎶🎶

I didn't appreciate it I followed so many Prog fans. I'm not complaining :)x

What the…. 😄

For tonight's whisky pairing... There's been so much fantastic music released over the past ten years, and this is amongst the very finest. A perfect blend of jungle, hip-hop, and ambient techno. Whatever you're planning this weekend I hope it's filled with music just as good x #NowPlaying

Today's my birthday! It's a real gift to be guest mix Midwife's NTS show tonight at 10:00pm(GMT) The show is dedicated to the souls who've been undeservingly taken from us by war & to folks all around the world who live with only love & hope in their hearts to be free from oppression of any kind 🕊️

Today is the official release day for the final volume in the Tone Science series. After seven years, nine previous editions, one concert & 72 musicians, the Tone Science series comes to a close with this celebratory tenth volume, ‘The Final Patch’. dinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tone-s...

Massive delay on our journey back so its good to finally be home, although a quick catchup with the news has got me hankering for a few more weeks at sea x

If you think the music industry is in a mess today, just remember in 1984 'Tinseltown In The Rain' could only reach number 87 in the UK charts...

What a wonderful piece. First time I've read it and it absolutely brightened my morning. Every record should be compared to silence indeed Thank you @graemethomson.bsky.social 🙏x bsky.app/profile/grae...

While we wait - what else? - for the long mooted second Paul Buchanan solo album, I'll share my 2006 interview with him, the first of several. I'm continually surprised by how many views this gets each week but, then again, we all love a good old-fashioned mystery story. medium.com/@graeme_1713...

I do like this 'saved post' feature. Nice work folks x

Yes I thought I'd heard this enough, but reading this is making me hear it again in a new way.

In case you missed it and fancy a 5 minute read to kick off your week you'll find a link to the latest update in my 52 Albums To Shape A Soul series in the post below. Part 39... it's about Jazz x bsky.app/profile/lipp...

Another beautifu love letter to an extraordinary album. An album that is welded to my heart. In 1988 & 1989 our family, through mind-bending tragedy, fell apart. I went to college, at the time it seemed stupid, almost selfish. I'd come home on a Friday, play new records, & cope. ......1/

Another great piece. Jazz though 😬😁

This is equally great too ... Seems like this was a primary influence on a generation or two, not least me.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

Got my text, got my email, but now realising the chances of me being able to make any of the London dates is very slim indeed. FFS... #Radiohead

Tonight's whisky pairing... Listening to these sounds its hard to believe this was recorded nearly 47 years ago. To my ears it still sounds as magical and innovative as it did back then. Enjoy the weekend. Cheers x #NowPlaying

Had the weirdest of dreams... Ex-footballer, turned pundit, turned manager, Robbie Savage put on a Strictly style show with a Jaws theme in an old cinema. His top stars were PJ Harvey & Pete Shelley. He raised £40,000 for charity. I know this because I was in the ticket booth. He was overwhelmed!

A sincere thank you to anyone continuing to follow my blog... This latest update was a little difficult to write about. Its about grief and learning how to live with it 52 Albums To Shape A Soul - Part 38 Thanks for reading 🖤x lippykidmusic.substack.com/p/52-albums-...

You did it. The neo-Nazi gig planned for Great Yarmouth has been CANCELLED. ❗ Over 34,000 of you emailed the Home Office and spread the word. Local press, councils and police took notice, and under pressure, we have just received the news that the venue has pulled the plug.

The replies. What a treasure trove 🙏

Finally caught up with this. A perfect midweek tonic. Absolutely magnificent... Props to @drtechnical.bsky.social for making me aware of it 🙏x youtu.be/rAOHJqJMYDA?...
