"..the accompanying versions and dubs once again reflect Martin's well-documented love of Scientist's classic productions.. The sound-lab psychedelia rivals the dubbed-out delirium of On-U Sound at its most exploratory." thebugdisfig.bandcamp.com/album/ladybu...

Loved the serendipity of this one. When I licensed this to the 1st Spiky Dread comp, all Vivien had was an mp3 to master from, and my copy of the 12" was crackly. I'd almost given up hope when I was wandering around a car boot sale in Stoke Newington, and stumbled on a squeaky clean copy

Didn't realise how prescient this would be ... youtu.be/p0IgEjIuxkQ?...

With the news yesterday that Sauchiehall Street's Garage nightclub/venue is up for sale, a reminder of its storied past. Before it was renamed the Garage, it had operated as The Mayfair, Shuffles, the Electric Garden, the Macushla, the Astoria, The Gainsborough, and the Charing Cross Halls.

We only have 12 tickets left for this so if you think an evening of Buchla synth, processed voice, tape manipulation and modular synthesis sounds good, don't sleep! Marcia Bassett / Victoria Keddie / Suppwiyah Friday 17th July Bishops' House Sheffield

What @droneworks.bsky.social said!

I wrote about this book here: andyhopkinspoet.wordpress.com/2021/07/02/d...

#FolkloreSunday We are ever in the midst of creation, nature's vast tapestry, the spider at the loom, flowers in bloom, butterflies brighter than fan-dancers. What greater muse has there been to poets, authors & artists than nature, a word of creativity to those who can see. (art Percy Billinghurst)

On this day in 1948 the NHS was founded. Larkin's 1967 poem The Building may have had Hull Royal Infirmary in mind but is a universal meditation on hospitals and human frailty.
