"The Small Things" was inspired by and samples from Rutger Bregman's thoughtful and inspiring 2025 Reith Lectures. Thanks very much for exploring such important themes @rutgerbregman.com. I'd completely understand and delete if you are unhappy about me sampling your voice. soundcloud.com/matti…

My new tune is dark, bass-heavy, driving synth grunge that includes samples of people making preposterous health claims about whatever it is they are selling. soundcloud.com/mattinbits/t...

This is my first new tune for a bit. It's a bit of a grumble about the many flavours of woo that are used to part us from our money and it growls along for about three and a half minutes. soundcloud.com/mattinbits/t...

We've just let loose a new ep! thehappysomethings.bandcamp.com/album/el-elu... 4 brand new songs for anyone who would like them... 😃😍😎 @herecomestheflood.com @lostsignaltunes.bsky.social @willneville.bsky.social @assistant.bandcamp.com @newindiemusicshow.bsky.social

I seem to be stuck in an endless loop on BlueSky. I need to have verified my age to check my chat messages but apparently the instructions to complete the process are in my chat messages.

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

Great, typically honest, piece by @robburl.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?...

Bullying (online or otherwise) is not OK.

R.I.P. Brian Wilson. What a talent. youtu.be/6Vv_dkDwZeQ?...

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?...
