This interview with Sonia Gandhi is illuminating, inspiring and full of hope. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

No one does blends ascerbic lyrics, memorable melodies and humour quite as well as The Happies. Well worth a listen.

The fabulous Angelle Joseph has played 'Pink Dust' on her BBC Introducing show on BBC Norfolk/Suffolk. UK listeners (or VPN owners) can listen back here (We're about 2 hours in) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #BBCIntroducing #Norfolk #Suffolk

It's great to have you back Happies even if it's just for a flying visit. Loved this collection of catchy tunes and wry observations. 🙂

The drug Ropinerole nearly broke me and my family. The story is still too painful for me to tell six years on. Thankfully I didn't descend as far as 'James' but the memory of the crippling paranoia will haunt me for the rest of my days. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party. 🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne (1948–2025). As a global rock icon, Ozzy inspired millions with his music, but even more profoundly, he moved the Parkinson’s community by bravely sharing his diagnosis and becoming a pioneer in the conversation around stem cell treatments. @parkinsondotorg.bsky.social

Good evening! The Dark Train will depart at 2200 on Moonday evening from UFO Central [Warminster Community Radio]. Have a lovely rest of the weekend! 🍄❤️🌿🌱

How's it going everyone? I've haven't been up to much to be honest so here's a short tune from a couple of years ago that I'm quite proud of. soundcloud.com/mattinbits/d...

It’s no secret Norfolk is poorly served by good quality rural cycle routes. There’s the Marriott’s Way and then, well… that’s it mostly. But fear not, we’ve got the low-down on the types of routes, and the mapping tools to help you plan your journey. www.norwichcyclingcampaign.org/cycling-beyo...

Dear UK residents and citizens, Please take a moment to sign this petition. It would be really appreciated by the many people living with this debilitating disease. Thank you! 💗 www.parkinsons.org.uk/get-involved...

I'm fortunate to have collaborated with some talented & lovely folk over the last few years including @eleanorcollides.bsky.social @somehappything.bsky.social @flakebelly.bsky.social @tinforest.bsky.social @chrisbodmusic.bsky.social @soundshallows.bsky.social open.spotify.com/playlist/2hM...

Walking down St. Benedicts Street in Norwich, I couldn't help but notice a boxed item called "Thor's Mighty Hammer" in the window of Sinsin's (a sex shop). Now I can't help speculating which erotic scenario a bloody great hammer is intended to enhance.🤔

I'm taking a break from social media and making music. Thanks for the support and best wishes for everything you do. ♥️

We have tabled the following amendment to the Government's disability cuts Bill. MPs should think long and hard about the dreadful consequences these cuts will have. Rest assured, we will keep campaigning for the rights of disabled people to live in dignity.

Really enjoyed this remastered Beatles classic. Great job! youtu.be/RGLBi2Sz5f4?...

You know what else is annoying @theguardian.com? Being told that you're annoying for protecting your privacy. Full page ads that suddenly obscure what you were reading then the page reformatting when they disappear again. Being constantly harangued. Yours, a former reader.

Loved this 😆 youtu.be/uW39iONQBNU?...

I wanted restoration for all older people, but this is a step in the right direction. There's clear evidence linking disadvantage and soaring support for the authoritarian right. Labour must now dump awful cuts to support for disabled people and quickly get rid of the two-child benefit cap, too.

The new video for Psychokiller by Talking Heads stats Saoirse Ronan and it's just perfect. youtu.be/CJ54eImz88w?...

I'm thrilled to have had the opportunity to remix "Lessons in Love" by the delightful The Happy Somethings @somehappything.bsky.social. I've taken a few liberties with it to make a kind of minimalist sound. I hope you'll learn to love it 😀🧑‍🏫❤️. lostsignaltunes.bandcamp.com/track/lesson...

Went for a walk around Happisburgh on the north Norfolk coast yesterday. A beautiful village that is unfortunately being swallowed by the sea at an alarming rate.

The glymphatic system flushes out waste products from the brain – now scientists have found a way to boost it in mice, which could open treatment possibilities for neurodegenerative diseases

Our current information and technology landscape would be vastly improved if more people had seen the episode of Bagpuss where the mice claim they've built a machine to make chocolate biscuits out of butterbeans and breadcrumbs but it's actually just the same chocolate biscuit going round and round.

Kate’s show is always awesome - highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet! Big thanks to her for the incredible on-going support - this week inclusing my @fieldswefound.bsky.social piece resolve / relate 04 🙏 🩵

Good evening! The Dark Train will depart UFO Central [Warminster Community Radio] with a sunny reggae freight in tow. Martin Jensen [@[email protected]] has selected the finest reggae 7”s for a super summer mix! Moonday 2200 BST. 🍄🍄🍄

I became obsessed with lampposts during lockdown. Do you remember exhibiting signs that you might be losing it?

A lion looking worried.

An antique fire alarm.

From ‘A Year With Swollen Appendices’: Brian Eno on his first encounter with Alan Yentob. “6 Feb: Yentob rang doorbell and, when I answered, walked straight in! As though he’d dropped in hundreds of times before.”

I bought this book online and now it has arrived I can see that I am way out of my depth. Anyone else want it?

As much as I love how much friendlier and thoughtful Bluesky is compared to X, I find its algorithm for selecting appropriate content pretty bad. My feed is packed with content I've told it a thousand times I'm not interested in.

ICYMI - we recently released a single: thehappysomethings.bandcamp.com/track/a-kind... The response has thrown up interesting interpretations. It's been heard as a simple love song, a song about unrequited love & cited as a 'stalker song'. The original was written 40 yrs ago & was very innocent! 🙂🙂🙂

I think someone just tried to goad me into a boyracer speed-off between his sporty black Audi and my dusty old Fiat Tipo on the A47. Not really my thing.
