David Lynch (20 January 1946–16 January 2025) The US filmmaker has died aged 78. As a tribute, we have made the extended cover feature that appeared in The Wire 486 - for which Lynch also designed the cover - free to read in our online library. www.thewire.co.uk/in-writing/t...

@thejesuslizard.bsky.social last night at Queen Margaret Union, Glasgow! 600mi+ round trip but well worth it to finally see these guys live

let's contemplate solidarity in the new year

My 100 most listened albums of 2024 via @listenbrainz.org. A little disappointed in myself to only have 4 albums on here that were released in 2024 -- but that's a target for next year I suppose

It is great to finally get this project started. If you are interested in helping out in any way - editing, tracking, setlists, or general organization, please reach out to us. We have tens of thousands of recordings waiting to make it to your ears.

The one and only Sir Paul McCartney last night in Manchester! My first time seeing a Beatle live, it was so much fun!

Our letter with 350+ musicians demanding that music labels drop their lawsuit to destroy @internetarchive.bsky.social is STILL ACCEPTING SIGNATURES. Musicians can still speak out. In fact, we're hoping for a groundswell: www.savethearchive.com Fans and archive-lovers can sign in solidarity, too!

Political differences. Some people are willing to make sacrifices to benefit other people. Some people are willing to sacrifice other people to benefit themselves.

Robbie Basho was a brilliant, eccentric folk singer+guitarist in the 70s who remains massively underrated in my opinion. If you can gel with his unique style of singing, he's well worth a listen. I can't wait to dig into this new boxset!

Hey, remember that really stupid idea I had a few weeks back? A six-and-a-half-hour supercut of live "Marquee Moon" solos? I finished it and wrote about it here.

Just saw @glenmatlock.bsky.social with @neal-x.bsky.social and @kathyvalentine.bsky.social at the Social here in Hull! Awesome gig, and I even finally managed to nab a setlist which Glen was kind enough to autograph!
