The cover to The Future Can Wait, btw, is the main room at Caroline St. Social Club in Saltaire, a real 70s timewarp sort of place (in a good way) and very definitely worth a visit if you're ever up this way.

Did 2 albums and 2 singles this year, which isn't bad going. Album 1 was all longform kosmische and whirly arp synth nonsense: worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com/album/the-fu...

God damn the Pink Room is one of the absolute greatest pieces of music ever made. Just unreal amounts of sleaze oozing all over it: youtu.be/VA6bVJ1vw_A?...

Ollie Watkins I love you #avfc

William Dickerson, author of @thetaooftwinpeaks.bsky.social, recently acquired David Lynch’s 1997 Parker Fly guitar from Julien’s Auctions. Here’s a deep dive about the guitar. As a fellow long-time fan of Lynch’s work, I’m glad the guitar is in good hands. Congrats twinpeaksblog.com/2025/12/26/t...

Christmas eve has so far consisted of work, pub, a viewing of modern classic Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, and now we're heading for teatime and a viewing of modern classic 2 Fast 2 Furious.

worriedaboutsatan purists will say that the band is now already 20 years old, as I was putting stuff together around xmas '05, although I always tend to think the band started in '06, when I had stuff a bit more finished and a clearer idea of what I actually wanted to do. Anyway, 20 years! Mad that.

Just going back through the brown album by Orbital, and it's still such a banger isn't it? Near perfect album: orbitalofficial.bandcamp.com/album/orbita...

Fun find in the archives: me, onstage at Leeds' Dry Dock in probably 2007(?) nicely augmented with a box of Kinder Happy Hippos for some reason

Seems like the right day to crack this on again:

As always, this is essential viewing!

I think I must've seen Villa beat utd like 2 maybe 3 times in my lifetime - seeing this scoreline has absolutely destroyed me, unreal. This team, man. Amazing.

There's a powerful illustration here regarding "influencers" vs. "experts".

Ah man I just remembered when Q-Tip got LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes to rap over Can: youtu.be/XNkV5DtSuMw?...

Nearly xmas, so have some freebie codes to one of my personal favourite satan albums, 2022's Bloodsport: jdyq-635d f4k6-g4nc lc3k-3q5x 4pdt-hzbp cf4t-vg4n ews3-6bje rhqw-kx93 a4r4-6vy4 rplh-g92m kx87-xrwg kekd-edl3 worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com/yum

Oh hey, it's nearly Christmas, why not treat yourself to a ticket to this gig I'm doing next May, eh? I'm reliably informed by the venue that tickets are doing well, even though it's just shy of 5 months away & I've not even printed posters yet. Don't sleep on it: www.seetickets.com/event/pye-co...

'Isn't the AI slop machine really bad eh? Why don't you ask it something and see how bad it is' is such a monstrously shit idea, don't feed or train it for fucks sake, just ignore it jesus fucking christ.

Alright Americans, I think we've all heard enough about Olivia nuzzi now, thanks

One of the best things about Polanski's constant highlighting of right wing press hatchet jobs is that he's basically saying to them 'the more of these that you make, the more I have to talk about' but the dullards who do them just cannot help themselves, so keep churning them out.

why the fuck would anyone go back to twitter at this point lmfao. genuinely what do you imagine is on there that would benefit anyone in any way? sorry your table is getting lonely over there, maybe invite the AI that Elon is constantly personally reprogramming to be more racist?

I understand the frustration people feel about losing a genuine digital global “town square,” because that is a loss! But I would suggest directing that frustration toward the guy who purchased the entire town square and inverted every one of its principles, not the folks who left when he did so

Can't really add anything else about Rob Reiner that hasn't already been said, but what I will say is that one weekend when I was at college, BBC2 showed Spinal Tap and literally every single one of us watched for the first time and quoted it relentlessly until we graduated. Absolute magic, that.

Every now and then you play one of those Broadcast demo albums again and you forget how incredible that band were, and how missed Trish Keenan is: broadcast.bandcamp.com/album/distan...

I know it's not exactly a new or exciting take to have, but waking up every day and seeing institutions completely shitting the bed and handing whatever frothing right wing newspaper another easy win makes you feel like fucking Frank Grimes running round the nuclear plant losing his mind.

Being bombarded with AI slop and internet detritus all day means these small books of really beautiful moments from everyday life become *way* more important. I'm a big fan of Iain's work, so just sitting with these images is like dunking yourself into a warm bath on a shit day.

Someone on a fairly big label, with their own PR, manager and booking agent said something similar to me with a straight face once - they were "jealous" that I did everything myself lol. My next release was a run of 100 CDrs which got zero press. Halcyon days.

Wishing a good weekend to all the goth/industrial club djs who will be able to just put this album on and walk away from the decks for a bit. (it's so good)

Wait, how long has the Packhorse in Leeds been back? I thought it'd been turned into housing or something?!

Ooooh hello!

Happy new HEALTH day to all who celebrate: youwillloveeachother.bandcamp.com/album/confli...

I'm also bringing Pye Corner Audio back to Shipley for the first time since 2013, when he dropped by for those old Golden Cabinet nights, next year. It's my birthday bash as I'll be 43 the next day, so come celebrate! www.seetickets.com/event/pye-co...

Nearly Christmas innit, so treat yourself to a ticket to my gig in February: shipleytriangle.com/collections/...

combination time to die and taco bell

Was talking to the Falconetti lads at the weekend, and was delighted to discover that they're back! If you know me, you've probably heard me ramble on about how they're one of my favourite bands of all time at some point, so go get their album: thisisitforever.bandcamp.com/album/a-hist...

Lol, words can't describe how much I do not want this, Instagram. Imagine a floating window full of garbage slop just ticking away there in the background all day, every day. Fuck me.

I feel like my entire childhood was basically shops called Chips that had that exact font, just following me around dead end towns in the north.
