I have put together a playlist for @ramblingidiot.bsky.social ‘s wonderful art project Cut From The Land. I’m a proud owner of some of their beautiful Lino cut prints so it was an honour to be asked to put together a selection of wyrd and wunderful music. Buy their art!

Perfect spring time listening from Barry at Cut From The Land #cutsfromtheland

Yes, you are correct. Super Furry Animals are the second best British band of the 21st Century and I am very excited to see them. Let’s go. youtu.be/uvlOh9cKbxw?...

Must stop buying books. Must stop buying records. Must stop buying a set of 3 bottled humunculi models that cost £130.

One for @iggypopbarker.bsky.social and anyone else who appreciates the genius of Gorky’s youtu.be/kRfbDIrEwFY?...

Beautiful spring afternoon so I got an early dart from graft and took a yomp into nature. Amazing day for it.

This is superb news. Graeme’s other works on John Martyn and Kate Bush are essential reading for fans, and I’m sure this will be too @iggypopbarker.bsky.social @jimmyjazzesq.bsky.social @hills71.bsky.social @andyb4430.bsky.social

Hello all! 'A Ritual For Poisoned Land' the new opus from one of the OG 'Hauntologists' and purveyors of Folk Horror soundtracks... Charles Vaughan, is now up for pre-order. Unearthing voices from the ancient countryside... digital.waysideandwoodland.com/album/a-ritu...

Newcastle: the only city in the world where a homeless man offered me some of his food as I passed by.

Let the cat outside in my new place after 3 weeks of confinement. Followed all the usual advice but she’s an explorer and is off out exploring.. praying she doesn’t go too far. Cat people will know how stressful this is!

youtu.be/lQAWVZ_tGA4?... I'm obsessed with this song (again)... Why are The Clientele so bloody perfect? 😭💔🖤🖤🖤

Drop something blue 💙

David Byrne (A). Best gig since 2018 for me, when I last saw him. Hopeful, life affirming.

My mother has discovered Temu. And is subsequently buying me all kinds of random shit that I don’t need. As I’m working all day every day everything is getting delivered to my lovely new neighbours. I bet they hate me already! I’ve only been here ten days and they’ve taken in 7.

If both teams have more fouls than shots, the game should be canceled at halftime. No one gets any points.

Glasgow boozer recommendations? SEC area. I’m sure @jimmyjazzesq.bsky.social can assist

Probably my favourite record of the last 5 years. The wonderful Wallflower by RJ McKendree #nowplaying @dimorphodons.bsky.social @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social

Such a great record #5DebutAlbums0509 #NowPlaying🎧 Girls - Album (2009)

Moving house.

Is there ever a more melancholy feeling than when you’re packing boxes to move house?

Pentangle released Light Flight (aka the theme from Take Three Girls) on this day in 1970. Here’s a great live performance from the BBC youtu.be/2tyVezuUtCA

Great piece by the way. And I am sure you are familiar with it but Jimmy Cauty’s ‘Space’ album is worth a dabble if you’re not: www.discogs.com/master/63579...

Going to see this lot again twice this year. The absolute business. youtu.be/Rjva8CWbkqQ?...

i love olson by boards of canada so much. i do not care if it's really short, it's such a beautiful song

Is it the rules that everyone you (try to) sell to on F*cebook Marketplace is either a) completely unhinged or b) a time waster or c) a combination of both?

A few thoughts on my beloved Penda's Fen. I wrote this last summer for the great @shindigmagazine.bsky.social, and it's now fresh on the Haunted Generation website... hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2026/01/28/s...

Another one from my distant past. What a song. youtu.be/6dQMHBy3NvQ?...

One of my favourite facts is David Niven watched a Can gig. (Fact courtesy of @iammilliam.bsky.social )

Jean-Paul Sartre died in 1980. Incredible to think he may have seen the film “Every Which Way But Loose”.

You know you’ve got a good mate when he randomly sticks this through your letterbox @ollyne29.bsky.social

Mind blowing 🤯 If you don’t know this tune, rectify tout de suite.

Seriously, one of the maddest films I’ve ever seen. Wheatley is a true auteur. Great night.

A new Boards of Canada old tunes bootleg, but in much higher quality than ever before you say? Don't mind if I do! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S7c...

I’m normally a big Aldi advocate, but this is one of the foulest ales I’ve had the misfortune to slurp. It tastes more like gasoline than grapefruit. Revolting. 1/10

Huge thanks to Iain at Roker Records for sorting out a super clean OG to replace my battered old copy at a superb price. Great little record shop in Sunderland.

Our album of the month to kick off 2026 is ARCHENFIELD by U. A glorious multilayered delight capturing time and space. majoranticlimax.bandcamp.com/album/archen...
