It's #BandcampFriday. For once I didn't forget, 'cos an email reminded me! To be precise, it's a #MarkusFriday. I've already availed myself of this and I'll be checking out those Centrozoon Demos later. tear-reuter-and-wingfield.bandcamp.com/album/fallin...

Ah well... No medals, but 4th, 5th and 6th is something. 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴 @lidltrek.bsky.social

How about that particular team who participate in a sports event in which we appear to share a mutual interest? Yes, rather! Go them.

Ahem! an "obligatory digital identity without the need to show or carry a card" sounds rather like a National Insurance number to me. Only in an exciting new hackable format.

There’s no such organisation as antifa. It’s basically a person, or group of people who are against fascism. So, if you’re against antifa, you’re against anyone who is anti-fascism, or put another way, you’re a fascist.

#NowPlaying a new one from Asaf! 🥁 (By my reckoning, that's at least four albums in four different bands this year!) asafsirkis.bandcamp.com/album/the-jo...

#NowPlaying 🇯🇲 the mighty CULTURE, live & direct at the Astoria 1988.

#NowPlaying "Expectations" by Keith Jarrett. This is my favourite period of KJ, although I reckon that Charlie Haden is the real star of this particular show. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expecta... youtu.be/8m1olR0JjxU?...

🇺🇸 Lidl-Trek makes history as the first team ever to win all three Grand Tour points jerseys in a single season. 🇩🇰 Pedersen in the Giro and Vuelta, 🇮🇹 Milan in the Tour.

I loathe everything about the Last Night of the Proms anyway. But this year's programme is even more loathsome. You know what I'm talking about.

I don't know if if it's a new thing that's come with the latest updates to the BlueSky app, but I see that you can now hide the fairly useless "Discover" timeline altogether. Mine now only displays my own customised "lists" columns.

WOW. #AppleEvent youtu.be/Ie9JCFR5O_w?...

#PlayForToday 💿 Soft Works (and ditto Machine Legacy), Matt Berry, Mogwai, Thom Yorke...

Good luck chaps! 🤞💚

Posting this for no other reason than I heard it on the soundtrack to something recently and I thought it was ruddy ace! youtu.be/B9FzVhw8_bY?...

ALL advertising is self-indulgent bullshit. Just remember that and you won't go too far wrong.

Hooray! Hooray! It's a jolly 'HOZZY' day! 💉💉

#NowPlaying Mike Westbrook's "The Cortège" (a composition for voices and jazz orchestra)

On the 5th September 2015, ten whole years ago now, we had the opportunity to see the newly invigorated KING CRIMSON in its 'seven-headed-beast' configuration for the first time. mintyppdiary.blogspot.com/2025/09/king...

#BandcampFriday did someone say? Well, this has come out at just the right time then! softmachine-moonjune.bandcamp.com/album/abraca...

#NowPlaying News From Babel, the 1980s "remains of Henry Cow" ensemble. #ChrisCutler #DagmarKrause #LindsayCooper #ZeenaParkins #RiO newsfrombabel.bandcamp.com/album/sirens...

The IPT team are playing the victim and seeing everyone but themselves at fault. A lot like the Israeli government really.

Good evening, world... youtu.be/8B9ATiGpbl8?...

#NowPlaying I just noticed that this lovely racket is now available as a download. So naturally I've dug out the CD to play today. www.dgmlive.com/news/like-3d...

#NowPlaying "The Miraculous Mandarin" by Bela Bartok. "Hit it, Zubin!" youtu.be/OidFaXxTP6U?...

#NowPlaying La Bottine Souriante recorded live at #WOMAD 1999. Surely the best Canadian band ever! 🤣🪗🎻🥾

Maybe that team should think seriously about finding a better sponsor? cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/new...

EARWORM NEWS👂🪱 I saw the words "Heroes and Villains" in a TV listings magazine this morning. I now have the Beach Boys playing clearly on the broken jukebox that is my brain. Total recall. That's literally all it takes.

Today's Mood: Unplugged.

#NowPlaying I'd seen THE BREATH's name dotted around the #RealWorldRecords catalogue, but not yet checked them out. This Prom seemed a good opportunity to hear if they're any good or not. 😉 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Still thinking about that #HenryCow 'thon that I promised myself a while back... Next week for sure. But today I've dug out a radio tape of the early Peel sessions as a taster.

An appropriate time to watch this excellent but troubling documentary, if you haven't done so already.

#NowPlaying I'm taking another dip into the #RealWorldRecords #Bandcamp this afternoon, with this download-only Sheila Chandra collection. sheilachandra.bandcamp.com/album/out-in...

🇪🇸 #LaVuelta25 line-up 🇺🇸 Lidl - Trek 🇩🇰 Mads Pedersen 🇮🇹 Giulio Ciccone 🇩🇰 Søren Kragh Andersen 🇳🇱 Daan Hoole 🇪🇸 Carlos Verona 🇪🇷 Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier 🇮🇹 Andrea Bagioli 🇫🇷 Julien Bernard More about Lidl-Trek's ambitions at Domestique 👇 📷 Cor Vos

I don't take anything seriously, but I put a lot of thought into it.

Let's see how you get on with something a little more complicated... youtu.be/Bh5UXeGCP68?...

I've just watched a video that made me question whether my so-called "ambient" music has any artistic value. I already know that nobody pays any attention to it, 'cos there's so much of this sort of thing already out there. So, you tell me. youtu.be/53Eiya3vP20?...

I see there's another Stephen Poliakapovafoff-a-thon on the box tonight. #BBC4 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect...
