I dropped a pint on Tom Waits’ foot in the green room at the recording of an episode of The Tube, the contents of which fountained up over most of his body. He responded by recommending the ham sandwiches while licking the beer off his arms.

And to Pete Seeger: 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐫’s banjo said it all: “This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender.” 🎶 Music as protest. Music as peace. #PeteSeeger #FolkMusic #ThisMachine #WoodyGuthrie #FolkRevival #VoicesForChange

#CDFriday Boards of Canada “Music Has the Right to Children” (Warp, 1998) Sounds every bit as good today as it did in 1980…

#CDFriday One Dove “Morning Dove White” (London Records, 1993) Classic post-rave grooves with Weatherall on the boards. Timeless.

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

#CDFriday LFO “Sheath” (Warp, 2003) British tech goodness.

not reading all that. free palestine

May 18, 1980 | 8:32 a.m. The ground shudders. A M5.1 quake hits beneath Mount St. Helens. Weakened critically, the north face bulge collapses outward. Within seconds, a pyroclastic density surge bursts through the disintegrating slope. The clock strikes zero.

Get him out. Prosecute. Burn Trumpism to the ground and salt the earth beneath it. All Democrats need to get with the program and learn what time it is. Reform is a minimum requirement. Revenge is better.

Time to hear Mario Savio again: "There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious...that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels and you’ve got to make it stop." www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz7K...

#NowPlaying this last week

Trump on Iranian officials: "If his name is Mohammed something. And most of them are Mohammad. You can guess about 50% right."

#CDFriday LFO “Sheath” (Warp, 2003) British tech goodness.

#NowPlaying for #CDFriday Bright Eyes “Letting Off the Happiness” (Wichita, 2001) Early belters from Connor Oberst & his buddies. Particularly fond of “Pull My Hair”, “The Difference in the Shades” and “If Winter Ends”.

I can't overstate how much I appreciate musicians and organizations who work outside the ossified regions of the music industry to bring real music to real music lovers. Patronize these people wherever you are.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19

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 🙂

Nice find in the charity shop this morning. DJ Krush “Only the Strong Survive” 10” (Mo’Wax, 1996) #WeekendSingles

I think this is old news for most fans, but if you want to listen to the latest & greatest 2026 rips of pre-debut Boards of Canada material before the new album arrives, you can just go to rareboc.org to download the FLACs instead of poring over the Internet Archive.

This week #NowPlaying

"Countless new genres were being thrown at this music that eschewed the dance floor, ranging from ambient techno to Warp’s own suggestion of electronic listening music, but the one that stuck is the most contentious: IDM – Intelligent Dance Music." An Oral History Of Warp’s Artificial Intelligence:

LW Politician: let slightly raise taxes on the incredibly rich to invest in public services. Media: woke idiot will ruin us all! RW politician: lets burn public services to the ground to pay for a tax cut for people so rich they won’t notice it. Media: this man speaks for us all, he the chosen one

#NowPlaying tons of great stuff this week

The collective noun for Bankers is .. WUNCH A wunch of bankers

Squarepusher “Budakhan Mindphone” (Warp, 1999) Probably my favourite SP release in a startling catalog. Jazzy glitch goodness for #CDFriday

Shame, really.

I’m going to call this the Diamond Life effect. A. Pummelled with ubiquity and success in its day B. Righteously ignored by the cool kids C. Rediscovered by clean ears D. Duly elevated to modern classic Your runners and riders please! Recognised already or ripe for reappraisal.
