I was so excited by the prospect of being on TV, I may have ignored some big red flags tv.gravitons.org/w/15bh6T6gTS...

New release… I took the cover photo before the lockdown about 10 mins walk from where I live. The colours somehow seem to reference Palestine now and any money made will be donated to the PCRF - binomial.bandcamp.com/album/hold-r...

I played this on the Amiga back in the day 👴🏻- youtube.com/watch?v=8FTO...

Thinking of releasing new music soon - it’s pretty much done but sitting on it for a while to see if I still like it in a week or so. It’ll be 2 tracks. The first is an ambient drone ebow/synth thing and the second is a beat-based 90s throwback with a Twin Peaks sample. 🤷🏻

Of One - Domains. This one is on the fantastically prolific @fortevilfruit.bsky.social Drone, noise, beats and a couple of bonus tracks on the digital release. #bandcampfriday fortevilfruit.bandcamp.com/album/domains

This is important. Our government is keen to enact and uphold the IHRA definition of antisemitism which includes any criticism of Israel’s apartheid regime and ongoing genocide of Palestinians. Please sign and share this: my.uplift.ie/petitions/re... @uplift-ireland.bsky.social

I found Black Mirror Season 7 a bit of a chore to get through. The first episode was the best of a very average season - better than S6 but sadly well past its prime.

I have a new release out today (with some visuals here from the immensely talented and sound @deadprincess11.bsky.social )

Almost every day has been RSD for me for about the past 35 years but interested in picking up either/both Metal Machine Music and Swell Maps Peel Sessions this time around.

So not bad huh?

SOSAD literally save lives and have directly helped friends of mine. Unfortunately they are in serious financial trouble so if you can afford to donate anything at all to help keep things afloat it would be much appreciated - www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-ple...

ReBluesky for a chance to win tickets to Hyperdawn, who are awesome, and Minced Oath, who is awesome next Friday. This will be one of the best Dublin nights of electronic music in 2025. In fact also reBluesky if you don't want tickets, to be in with a chance of not winning anything at all. Yay!

Constant Noise, the new @benefitstheband.bsky.social album, is a brilliant, poetic, moving, empathetic, musically diverse and inspiring work of art. Essential listening imo. Loved the first record. This one is even better.

The elitism on some music production groups on Facebook is hard to bear… Never underestimate people’s ability to learn, improve and find their own path - they’ll leapfrog the haters in a second. 🐸

Seems to be consistent hacking/password reset requests on my insta/facebook account every morning around 5AM… close to thinking - grand. you’re welcome to it.

Essential viewing - 'No Other Land'? Watch it here on Channel 4: www.channel4.com/programmes/n...

Sean Ronayne’s Nature Boy is a good listen (audiobook obviously). Editorial errors (e.g. unedited retakes) kind of added to its charm tbh.

In 2019 I made a film about the return of The KLF, Jimmy Cauty & Bill Drummond in their new incarnation as Pyramid Builders and Undertakers. This is the first version, not previously released. If you enjoy it donations via PayPal @PaulDuane449 or Revolut @paulxme4x welcome vimeo.com/screenworks/...

If you're not sick of me banging on about it already... New album out now on @fesynthetics.bsky.social First new material from Decal in 18 years. frontendsynthetics.bandcamp.com/album/the-ec...

Grand Theft Hamlet is worth a watch - enjoyable document of the kind of inventiveness that got people through the pandemic. mubi.com/films/grand-...

I’m on Foto - same handle as on here and Instagram. I like the minimalism of it but I also like uploading videos so it’s not quite the insta replacement I’d hoped for… at least not yet. Maybe I’ll look at TikTok again. 😬

Will be writing about it next week's newsletter letter anyway but cannot emphasise enough how fucking good this new record by Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh is. RIYL Kali Malone, Sarah Davachi, Natalia Beylis et al. kraak.bandcamp.com/album/lux-gr...

Someone laughed and corrected the way I pronounced Chick-Fil-A today… I didn’t mind not knowing the correct way to say it. I’ll never go there.

Excited to hear about a proper alternative to Instagram (which, as much as I hate Meta, is the social network I enjoy the most.)

Watched yer man on Netflix who wants to live forever. (Spoiler: he won’t.)

In case there was any doubt about the nature of the work being carried out by Helsing, the AI defence startup backed by Daniel Ek, it revealed the production of its very own drone killing machine the same week people were sharing their Spotify Wrapped. helsing.ai/hx-2

I suppose today’s a good day to state that I saw My Bloody Valentine play the NCAD Christmas party in 1984 i think it must have been. The support was meant to be a guy who climbed inside a black bin bag to read his poems, but he accidentally dropped his mic inside the bag & couldn’t find it again.

Incredibly disappointing to see the Irish Times tone policing @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social in his recent (brilliant) broadcast. In today's world, having 0 understanding that many #autistic people speak in different tones & inflections than NTs is embarrassing. Herein lies the double empathy issue 🤦🏻‍♀️
