OK. It would appear that I have a deep seated fear of running out of bread.

Urgh! Came on here to post last night’s show, which happened to include a track by The Black Dog, and now I see Ken Downie has passed away. Very sad news.

New #electronicears is up on Mixcloud! (I totally forgot to mention it before broadcast last night 🙄) www.mixcloud.com/fennerpearso...

Here's the song and remix. jamiejamalkiffie.bandcamp.com It's a fun "classic" sounding electropop Christmas song. Thank you for considering it. ...

Home cinema set up for ‘The Boat That Rocked’. Soundcheck courtesy of @danmud.bsky.social’s ‘Scotrail SuperDreamCluster’.

Hell’s teeth! Last night of the tour. That was extraordinary. #dirtythree

I could never pick a favourite Kraftwerk album, but I reckon this is the one I listen to most often.

Warren Ellis, on stage at The Barbican, telling us about his afternoon spent at the Southbank Centre due to his mistaken belief that that was where Dirty Three were playing this evening.

What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again? Programming in COBOL. I reckon the last code I wrote using that would have been 1995, but I reckon I could still cut it *cracks knuckles*

It’s an absolute joy listening to my mates absolutely smashing out some amazing albums of late. And as its Bandcamp Friday, here’s some suggestions for you… 🧵

Bit niche, but here's a podcast featuring a refreshingly rational discussion about the potential benefits and risks of AI, which includes a couple of my colleagues. www.amat.co.uk#podcast

God, it's over thirty-six years since this performance. And it would be thirty-four years until I wrote another song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqzm...

I remember when I first heard about this album, I felt they’d messed with something that shouldn’t be touched. But I was wrong. The RPO does as an amazing job here. Merry Christmas! music.apple.com/gb/album/chr...

Sunday's #electronicears is now up on Mixcloud. www.mixcloud.com/fennerpearso...

Christmas is looming. Books make great gifts. If there is anyone in your life who might enjoy a signed/dedicated copy of one/some/all of these paperbacks (even if that person is you) drop me a line.

Today, I am very much enjoying this by Guerrilla Biscuits: guerrillabiscuits.bandcamp.com/album/could-...

Arcturus by ARC is up as a free to download/name your price album on Bandcamp till the end of December. dinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/arctur... Live @ the Hampshire Jam III festival in Liphook in Oct 2004. ARC = label boss Ian Boddy & his sorely missed friend & musical collaborator Mark Shreeve.

“David, who shall we invite to the wedding?” “Bono. Ono. Eno.” “I love you, you unstoppable conceptual bastard.”

Dirty Three, Glasgow. Hopes 100% realised.

@warringtonruncorn.com I’m impressed by your gsm here, mister.

Leisure Process - 'A Way You'll Never Be' Listeners of a certain age won't need any clues as to the bass player on this. #lostbangers www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxIT...

In lieu of the radio show, may I introduce you to a new podcast, National Grid, featuring @guerrillabiscuits.bsky.social and me. We'll be talking to various people playing in what I think is generally referred to as the grassroots electronic music scene. www.mixcloud.com/fennerpearso...

Also, no #electronicears this week due to a) a busy few days (which doesn't usually stop me, tbh), but also b) a weekend spent decorating, which I actually enjoyed. (Not usually my bag.) My thanks to anyone who is even remotely disappointed :-) Anyway, back next week, fo' sure.

Found a couple of tracks by David Sylvian on Bandcamp that I didn’t know existed. Here’s the link if you are in the same ‘I like Sylvo but didn’t know about those tracks’ boat. davidsylvian.bandcamp.com/music

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans. (Reply to this post with your own art/website etc. But only if you’re an organic life-form). www.worldofmoose.com

We went to Pengshui on Monday, which was fantastic, but between tracks Illaman mentioned they had some roots in electronic music, so I embarked down that rabbit hole, yesterday. For the sake of brevity, let me just say that I am enjoying this: submotionorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/five-p...

(Obvious bias aside) this compilation is a wonderful listen Full of great tracks from start to end, a range of styles beautifully executed, yet still speak coherently Give the artists involved a follow Physical & DL from 5/12/25 monochromemotif.com @hartshornmusic.bsky.social #musicsky #synthsky

For those kind enough to take an interest, the latest #electronicears is now available on Mixcloud: www.mixcloud.com/fennerpearso...

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

It’s #electronicears at 8pm! Featuring: Loula Yorke; Ethel Cain; Charli xcx & John Cale; David Bowie; Einsturzende Neubauten; Warrington-Runcorn NTDP; and MORE! Stream from www.candofm.co.uk at 8pm (or wait for the show to go up on Mixcloud tomorrow).

Finally picked up David Stubbs’ ‘Fear Of Music: Why People Get Rothko But Don’t Get Stockhausen’, and it’s excellent. Absolutely loved this about Derek Bailey. I had no idea about this side of his musical life.

I find that the existing emojis don't cover the full range of emotions I need to express how I feel about some replies to my jokes. So I've decided to make my own.

Keep thinking of when Disney tried to sue the BBC when Alexei Sayle’s Stuff parodied Snow White and the BBC legal person was heard to say, ‘Fuck Disney, we’re the BBC.’
