Post something random or you'll have an awful December

Check out my short celebration for Heaven Sent anniversary. The designing of The Veil Heaven Sent: Happy 10th Anniversary (Doctor Who) The Veil. youtu.be/-ykezb_a-S0?... via @YouTube

Is it over cynical of me to think the Farage school racism (that won't bother many Reform voters) has been planted to distract from the Nathan Gill story. Why on Earth isn't the story of a British political leader being jailed for Russian Bribery not on the front page of every paper?

Love that it's still exploring

Ken Scott talking Beatles and Bowie youtu.be/nZmNvIcqAyk?...

Trump looked so happy. We should fix it for him to meet Han Solo and The Fonz next.

We have incredible choice these days, but you don't half have to fork out some cash to see it all. The Ashes cricket isn't on Sky, so it's another £30+ a month if you want to watch. I hate all these subscriptions bleeding us dry.

The creative powerhouse @lightinthetower.bsky.social have produced a mesmerising video for Generator // Shot at Blackpool Illuminations and repurposed with a whole load of analogue trickery, zero digitalisation. It’s a beautifully crafted piece of art // Give it a watch…. youtu.be/-S3w9ILL2I4?...

NEW VIDEO: To celebrate reaching 90% funded on my kickstarter here's another countdown for Easter eggs fans: Sgt Pepper Favourite Random Objects… There's still time to get your book at chrisbarkerprints.co.uk

It's a farce.

Seeing what they're putting Sara Cox through for Children in Need, next year they should just tie a dj to a post and flog them until they get enough money.

Charlie Brooker once assembled a playlist to address this challenge. Worst songs for romance: open.spotify.com/playlist/2uz...

I stumbled in this old Sound on Sound article about the recording of one of my favourite albums. share.google/J0nZsg6XACI8...

Or can he? @barneyfarmer.bsky.social

Featuring liner notes by me!

Exterminate/Regenerate: The Story of Doctor Who is now 99p on Kindle, for a short time only, so fill your boots! www.amazon.co.uk/Exterminate-...

40 years ago I immediately got a skateboard after seeing this film and started learning guitar. And yes, I've now got a red 335 like this guitar 😆

Radiohead are sounding great from the clips I've seen. Not so much the karaoke crowd singalongs on every track

Throwing this out here again

My first 7" single. Bought from Woolies in Northampton.

Happy Halloween folks! I’ve posted a cosmic horror story on my ghost that I’m fairly fond of - happy reading

fuck yeah

£200 for a standard set of cello strings, and you can pay a LOT more. It does sound lovely now though

Tonight! 9.30pm BBC2: Daisy May & Charlie Cooper’s Nightwatch - a new series I had far too much fun editing. Do they find any ghosts? You can binge all episodes on iPlayer afterwards to find out… 👻

😅

Well, I survived the screening for the film I've scored without embarrassing myself. Lots of nice feedback, and I actually enjoyed being sociable for a change. Made me realise I really need to get out more.

I'm being shazamed from New York to Norfolk 😂 (A grand total of 2 this week)

Omg www.bbc.com/news/article...

Loved doing this!!

This is a great listen. Eno's always good value bsky.app/profile/ezra...

There's a screening for the feature film I scored next week in a London Curzon. So the anxiety panic of going and talking to other humans starts here 😬

My BFI Classic on The Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night is available to preorder now. Here’s the story behind it. I love the cover - inspired by the film poster and a key theme in the book: the power of television in transmitting the Beatles to the world. samiraahmed.blog/why-i-wrote-...

Does anyone know of any good weekly news roundups? Preferably on the weekend. Thankfully we have some good news for a change today, but I can't carry on subjecting myself to the daily onslaught of it. Maybe I'll go back to buying a weekend paper.

I just got Amazon Prime Video for the first time in ages. The amount of adverts they should be paying me to watch it.

Hot tip for those who got spammed by a ‘promotion’ playlist (without them asking) and reported to it to Spotify but it STILL got taken down.Tell your distributor you reported it and also ask for the details of the ‘promoter’ playlist because you wish to take legal action. Suddenly my album is back 😜

I just chased 3 hounds out my back garden, who were then followed by the hunt (about 30 horses and riders) going past the house. Nice thing is I saw the fox about 20 minutes ago running off in the opposite direction to the way they went. I thought we were meant to have stopped this kind of nonsense.

This came out a year ago this week

LEICESTER TONIGHT: Dear BlueSky chums we have a couple of spare tickets on our guest list for tonight's show at The Y Theatre with #GabrielleSey. If you live locally and fancy a night out, drop me a line via tom(at)tomrobinson(dot)com and I'll add your name +1 to the list :-)

With TRON ARES about to hit, here’s a bit I wrote for @crooked-marquee.bsky.social on the original TRON and it’s fabulous composer, the amazing Wendy Carlos

Ever wondered where all the Cheers title photos are from? I did. And I've gathered everything I can find into this post. That was fun. joelmorris.substack.com/p/where-nobo...

The first episode of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' was shown on BBC1 on this day in 1969.

Feels like this weekend is an important time to share this video again... ...what has the ECHR ever done for us? youtu.be/ptfmAY6M6aA?...

"The Yellow Knife" by @conslittleghost.bsky.social Another one that's nearly a year old. It's an album where the artist seemingly started with a PostRock piece and then turned it into an Ambient one. And you know what? It's really, really good! constantlittleghost.bandcamp.com/album/the-ye...

In the same way that me sinking 4 cans of mid-strength lager in under and hour raises the question of whether or not I could beat Oliver Reed in a drinking contest.

Reading Facebook comments on the news really scares me about this country's future.
