I just learned that Richard O'Brien posted his original ROCKY HORROR demos on Bandcamp, and it just sounds like a legendary lost folk punk album. Like if you told me this was actually Neutral Milk Hotel or

Short version: yes, buttons are getting worse. Long version: by and large, apps and programs and websites these days are effectively dumb terminals -- when you click a button they do no processing on their own, and instead send the data to a central server, which sends a response back. (1/4)

106 years ago today, on May 7th, an undergraduate at Christchurch College, Oxford, drank a glass of port then left through the main gates for a walk. I've been thinking about him, & his walk, for years now. It's taken a long time for me to figure out why - why I've kept returning, near obsessed.

Delighted to see that Rob Curry's film about Doc Rowe, that great observer of British folk traditions, is getting its world premiere at this year's Sheffield Doc/Fest. I think it's going to be a real treat for anyone who has a soft spot for odd local customs and celebrations.
