Finally, if you ever wake up from a coma and you aren't sure what time of year it is, here is a helpful calendar👇 We are right on schedule this year!🤣🙄 18/

#NowPlaying this week. Dig that new Elucid LP!

#CDFriday Edan “Primitive Plus” (Lewis Recordings, 2002) Raw rap perfection from the humble magnificent one man arsenal. Hugely underrated.

Blessed by a visit from a female pheasant to our untidy suburban garden. Lived here for almost 19 years and this is the first I’ve seen here 🙂

Listen. Depeche Mode means “hurry up, fashion” in French. Can you think of any other artist whose name means the same thing? That’s right. Taylor Swift. Seems like a pretty funny coincidence but start connecting the dots, I don’t think that’s what we’re looking at.

For anyone just getting into Wire Magazine type music: every time the bombs drop, America has to reissue The Disintegration Loops.

#5DebutAlbums8589 Mega City Four - Tranzophobia Don't play this often...but what a great record of noisy guitar pop packed full of hooks.

#NowPlaying this past week

Decent little series here. “Social Classics vol 1-3” (2001 to 2004) #CDFriday but early

Getting in early for #CDFriday Don Letts “Dread Meets B-Boys Downtown” (Heavenly, 2004) Probably a bit of a cash-in given the release year, but no doubting the authenticity of the selector or the music. Decent primer if you happen to be uninitiated. #NowPlaying

Happy 303 Day! #303Day #Acid Probably my bestest album and on vinyl too! ACID FIELD RECORDINGS IN DUB audioobscura.bandcamp.com/album/acid-f...

velvet underground researchers have apparently confirmed that this audio from a random youtube user is genuinely the long-lost july '67 performance from upbeat, a cleveland teen tv show, doing the unreleased "guess i'm falling in love" complete with screaming girls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU2U...

In memory of Éliane Radigue the makers of this documentary have made it free to view online. What a lovely gesture vimeo.com/541076521/d6...

Farewell to French composer Éliane Radigue (1932-2026) who taught us the radical power of slowness, of patience, and attention stretched to the threshold of perception. Her work will continue to resonate—slowly, endlessly—like a tone that never quite fades.

#NowPlaying another week

One for the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The Great Enshittification of Pitchfork, 2026 really is one for the future historians

#CDFriday Dub Syndicate “Stoned Immaculate” (On-U Sound, 1991) Heavyweight smoked-out spacey British dub. It still sounds cavernous today, though I’m not smoking the same stuff I was back when this was on rotation at uni.

In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒 www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...

This weeks #NowPlaying

Decent haul in the charity shops of Beeston today. Particularly pleased with the Mo’Wax compilation, top right. #NowPlaying #CDFriday but a day late

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

A perfect clip. No notes.

Early one for #CDFriday Brian Eno “Thursday Afternoon” (EG Records, 1995) A single 61-minute track where “nothing happens, often”. I was blown away when I saw the accompanying VHS for the first time - viewers were instructed to rotate their TV 90° to view in portrait. Felt like the future.

Twitter on a big screen in a makeshift war room in the president’s country club is all you need to know about this reality tv show regime.

#NowPlaying this week. More jungle, amongst other things.

Unexpected behaviour from the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize Winner 2025. If he's not careful, he'll make a mockery of his prestigious award. #Venezuela #Caracas

Whatever media and art you're passionate about, I urge you to not allow it to become just another branch of the content tree. These platforms aren't doing themselves any favors by all adopting an endless doomscroll, eventually there will be a cultural reckoning. You can be a part of it.

We Didn't Start the Fire. With Bardot's passing three people mentioned in the song remain alive
