Went to watch Mike D from Beastie Boys at King Street Social Club in North Shields tonight. Absolutely batshit sentence to type out.

Mike D in North Shields last night; My nephew informed me that hands were thrown in the air 🙌🏼🙌🏼

“Mike D in North Shields” isn’t something I expected to read this morning 🤯😆

I saw Mike D perform half a mile from my house in North Shields last night. Some 40 years since I witnessed the infamous Liverpool Beasties gig at the Royal Court.. still making vital music today, it was such an energetic, vibrant show. Inspirational! North Shields forever.

Best record of the century. Don't at me. rjmckendree.bandcamp.com/album/wallfl...

North East folks, if anyone you know has a spare ticket for Mike D tonight in Shields, please let me know. Ta.

Boards of Canada forever 🔥

Nice of boards of canada to drop the new album on a weekend so you can do acid

I had a piss next to Max Farnham from Brookside at Anfield

Ambient road trip well under way.. first stop The Devil’s Arrows, Boroughbridge. Greeted by thunder and lightning.. is this a sign? #neolithicwanker #roadtrip #ambientroadtrip

North Shields - forever shoegaze

The new LP by The Coral really is as special as everyone says. 388 contains songs so good that they sound like old friends the first time you hear them. Some boast a gentle rocksteady lilt, while others are sweet soul gems made for a lowrider rolling down Whittier in East LA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First Boards Of Canada, now Durutti Column.. 2026 forever!

there has truly never been a better time to be a boards of canada fan

I reviewed the new Boards Of Canada LP for @mojomagazine.bsky.social and embraced the profound dystopian unease therein. www.mojo4music.com/articles/new...

When it’s been a glorious day, the sun is going down, this beautiful, astonishing album is playing in the garden, there’s some natural birdsong mixed in.. a gin and tonic in hand.. 🌞

Nail on head!

Great podcast with @graemethomson.bsky.social discussing his new Talk Talk tome podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

It’s arrived.. just in time for the long weekend. Thanks to the great @graemethomson.bsky.social for this. If you like John Martyn or Kate Bush be sure to seek out his books on those two musical genii. @iggypopbarker.bsky.social @hills71.bsky.social @jimmyjazzesq.bsky.social

Yeah I have a pension plan it’s called the sweet release of death

Just read your KLF Chill Out piece Nick. So good. Have just added a couple of the 'homages' you mentioned to my iTunes. Will give them a spin when I go forest walking on the w/e.

The Coral documentary is now available on Amazon and it’s really really good.

Album of the year (well.. for another 2 weeks and 4 days 😉)

My mum just said “they’re bringing back Balamory, you used to love that”. Balamory first aired in 2002, when I was 32 years of age. I think she is confusing me with her grandchildren…

Sometimes anticipation can cause huge disappointment. Not today. 13 years in the making. They’ve definitely been listening to The Cure. Possibly Tangerine Dream. Those drums! That guitar! I’m off for a long lie down..

Lunchtime reading @badwool9.bsky.social

I’m at the stage of life where I’m really enjoying the Incredible String Band.

We should be lying in a field listening to the Boards of Canada.

In anticipation of Inferno.. #boardsofcanada #inferno #thecampfireheadtape #thecampfireheadphase

Revisiting this mixtape from 7 years back. It’s too good.

Sick of seeing PROTEIN plastered across every food package supermarket like it was only invented last year.

The struggle is already kicking in

I really miss the days when crop circles would be on the news.

Holy hell 🔥

29 May 2026. #BoardsOfCanada

On this day in Wyrd Britain history... 1998 - Boards of Canada released their debut album, 'Music Has The Right To Children'. m.youtube.com/watch?v=5O1i... And this weekend, they seemingly returned with their first new music in 13 years. youtu.be/6bghDcbzfEU?... #boardsofcanada

28

I’ve started getting spam emails from Stannah Stairlifts. The only way is down.

It’s official. My children are now both adults. Had a boss time with them both for Lydia’s 18th. The world is at their feet.

Holy shit. We’re back youtu.be/6bghDcbzfEU?...

Boards of Canada. Just get this mythical new LP out please. The hardcore fans are overanalysing these vhs tapes & going a bit nuts. It’s not enrichment feeding at the zoo lads. We’re all tired, the world’s fucked & a new record would be smashing.

Justified Ancients of Miaow Miaow #theklf #chillout #klf

Oh my lord...it's happening, y'all. Its been 10+ years since the last Boards of Canada album. This is going to be an interesting experience.🍊

the new boards of canada album getting teased on the eve of potential nuclear holocaust feels kinda on the nose

New music by Boards of Canada is just about the only music that could drag my brain away from Angine de Poitrine rn
