Tonight's film is either The Turin Horse or Goldeneye

Woke up this morning with the realisation, about 20 years after first hearing it, that the Mighty Sparrow song 'Mango Vert' isn't about eating a mango www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAtL...

Thrilled and humbled and honored to be able to offer nine (!) original paintings by Stefan Neville AKA @stabbiesetc.bsky.social on the upcoming @bandcamp.com Fri December 5th. All proceeds help tame the mountains of medical bills and debts I’ve attained in my recovery during the past 12 months. xo

Love it when friends message to say they've deleted their sp*tify account

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

In the process of making a second edition of this tape. I'm pretty happy with this one! joncollin.bandcamp.com/album/the-la...

There's a tape of a live recording from Florence late last year available from here. I should have a few copies with less harsh postage than from the label soon joncollin.bandcamp.com/album/live-0...

Hans Blix over here

My nyckelharpa got damaged by overly enthusiastic baggage handling at the end of last year but finally fixed it up and got all the parts back in the places they’re supposed to be, I think

Gig happening soon in Stockholm

Military wank streaming service

AI gets a bad rap but this is the artwork that apple music assigned to my new record when I imported it just now

The shame of living in a country/continent/world that is encouraging this to happen

Raising cash for three, possibly four, maybe even five new label releases coming in the summer, therefore there is 20% off both digital and physical using code 'newsfromhome' (expires in a week) – joncollin.bandcamp.com/merch

Just read this collection of Patricia Highsmith stories, 18% of which end with somebody getting devoured by snails

When people say you should hear both sides of the argument, well these are both sides:

Happy International Workers Day.

For those interested in snagging the last copies of things, I have two remaining of the 2024 repress of this record joncollin.bandcamp.com/album/the-na...

I’ve been called (**canned laughter**) worse, but thaaats my life

Playing as part of a trio opening for Liam Grant next Saturday at my new favourite Stockholm venue, Hökarängens Antikvariat och Skivbörs hokarangensantikvariat.com/kommande-eve...

Bought these from Record Mania yesterday for like five quid each. Stockholm used record shop scene is VG++

Hello www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/316427...

Photos from a gently attended show in Somerville, MA in the depths of winter 2008. Looka that line-up! @kfw.bsky.social billtmiller.com/1.14.08/

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

This sounds boss

Just got some copies of the tape version of this release. I have a couple of copies of the LP here too, I think it's sold out from the label joncollin.bandcamp.com/album/devoti...

Current watching: Swedish TV Ida Lupino season www.svtplay.se/video/j16ggR...

well this is gorgeous: prolific sound artist Jon Collin follows up a trio of collabs with Demdike on a majestically hushed album with Aussie drifters Troth. Mystical listening, tipped if yr into YL Hooi, Teresa Winter, Islaja, Tongue Depressor...✨ bit.ly/4bj2RNU

Surprise! Lau Nau & Joshua Burkett mini album called ~ is out now on limited edition vinyl in the US, and later in the spring on CD & digital in Finland. Josh is a dear person and a great music maker, so I’m really happy about making this release with him.

Gigs starting later this week pt.1

Second Early Music issue of this record available now joncollin.bandcamp.com/album/the-ot...
