Urgh, why did Andy Burnham have to say he listens to New Order when he goes running, its like the headmaster wanting to discuss Autechre live sets with you.

Eurovision:- “Its just a bit of fun, not too serious.” Look mum no computer:- “I’ve got this song called Eins, Zwei, Drei” Eurovision:- “No, not like that.”

@sararoseg.bsky.social loving Natalie imbruglia’s re introduction as a regular *knock at door“ - Hi Im beth from a few months ago -Want to stay here? -Thanks I’ll start job hunting tom

So if Andy Burnham becomes prime minister is that like if Tony Wilson became prime minister ?

Hi @docoho44.bsky.social i recently picked up a copy of thev“Reckless engineering“ Eda. Are there any plot points I need to know going in or is it standalone?

I’ve been using AI at work. YouTubers won’t get people to “click like and smash the subscribe button” by saying that it’s just a wrapper around pre-existing technology. But as Marianna Spring points out, we’ve lost any sense of rationality in favour of “click like and smash the subscribe button.”

To the tune of “Starman” by Bowie- “Theres a Starmer- heading for the door, He knows he’s not been brilliant but we‘ll hate Wes Streeting more-“

Hi @sararoseg.bsky.social quick neighbors question. Am I an absolutely dreadful person or is Helen Daniels the main villain of Neighbours?

These are *exactly* the same responses Ricky Gervais gets.

We all want to be young again but who among us would be able to stomach the self consciousness? The bit that your brain filters out from your mem of being young is the self-conciousness.

A “controversial“ take on Dazzle Ships and Junk Culture by OMD.

LITERALLY the most annoying thing about a new boards of Canada album is you can’t do SH-101n’t tracks and vids without sounding hackneyed.

Reminder, in light of the awful incident in Golders Green, that anyone who victim-blames or engages in antisemitism or whataboutery isn’t doing anything to help Palestines or end the genocide. They’re just opportunist thugs

Have enough years passed since Bowie’s passing for us to admit that tin machine was bobbins?

Definitely one of my more "Draft 7.30" or "untilted" tracks, in that it's a journey, "The Black Oil," from RUINER (2021). [Elektron Model:Cycles] glitched.bandcamp.com/track/the-bl...

Fun fact: My dad visited the UK on a business trip in '95 and brought home this absolute pinnacle of the genre, not knowing anything about jungle/dnb, electronic music, or anything I was/am into. A stroke of luck and a nice memory.

"I feel as though 160BPM has become my natural territory & while I didn't want to stray too far from my comfort zone there's always an ever present desire to push against the boundary of expectations (including and maybe predominantly my own)" - Xylitol Listen: bleep.com/bleep-mix-31...

I mean, sure , this isn’t the MOST sophisticated argument anyone has made against the far right posho Andrew Gold- but he genuinely appears to think he ”destroyed Chris Packham with facts and logic“ simply by having a posher accent

Did frank sidebottom ever do a “Timperley” version of Tragedy by steps?

Got this bat for lashes record today. She went to the same secondary school as me. She would of been just starting when I was in the sixth form. There’s some beautiful songs on here- all her demo versions are here- which means I can experience her demo’s first. Highly recommended

Happy record store day from Bristol

oh hello!

Given that there’s a French House revival underway, why are there no Modjo records in record store day?

I’m so tired I don’t even think I’ll make i out for record store day on Saturday #notallmiddleagedwhitemen

How come frank bough got into trouble for being into whips and chains when depeche mode got away with it?

I’ve got a theory that the pet shop boys killed off the stravinsky orchestra hit in 1993- with their song “can you forgive her.” That song is absolutely peak orchestra hit and there really was nowhere else to go after that.

“Whatever you think he created some great music”. Dude, he created “great music” so he could get access to children and young people.

Having a DJ outing this Friday at Brighton Electric, playing everything that sounds good at 160bpm tikitid.com/events/parav...

It has now been five weeks since the noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted from where he lives in Tehran. Any number of reasons might be why. We do not know. Again, please consider investigating his work.

@joemuggs.bsky.social erasure manifestation niche album track edition- “My Heart So Blue” performed by Oasis. Same arrangement as “Wonderwall” because “WONDERWALL” IS “MY HEART SO BLUE“ PERFORMED BY OASIS. Oasis to give clarke/bell co writing credits.

This Saturday I'm launching my floral drum and bass album for @planetmurecords.bsky.social at Club Cheek in Brixton, which might be my favourite club space in London, now in the absence of Corsica Studios 😥 Will be joined by @plasticinfinite.bsky.social and Slav to the Rhythm 7-10pm early night kru

"'April Fools' Day'? I thought you said 'April Fuels Day'!" – Kier Starmer, probably

how are they going to fake the moon landings now that Kubrick is dead- are they going to get Christopher Nolan to do it? (Joke)

April fool’s day, natur’s new year’s day.

@salexanderreed.bsky.social did you ever hear this cover of “neon lights” by post-Humphreys OMD ? Its remarkable because you can hear the exact moment McCluskey decides to put an ad in the paper recruiting atomic kitten youtu.be/P1FhE1UMO1o

Remember when OMD did a cover of “Neon Lights” which sounded like Atomic Kitten meets Kraftwerk? youtu.be/P1FhE1UMO1o?...

It recently struck me that “Without you I’m nothing“ by Placebo and “Sorted fo Es and Whizz” by Pulp are basically the same song in that they both describe the comedown from hell. Also- I do occasionally talk about guitar based music.

"Thousands"? Imagine if the mainstream press was as cautious with the far right... As always, if you're looking for the root of the issue, don't look at the far right or "the people". Look at those setting the agenda and who they actively choose to legitimise

Is it me or or is late-era capitalism now actively trolling its detractors?

Always a joy to bring DJ Crystl 'Mediation' to a new audience

Been listening to “ladies and gentlemen“ by spiritualised. I get that its a masterpiece but after the 100th reference to syringes and dpoons it DOES get a bit silly.

@petercrockersvs.bsky.social @markayresrws.bsky.social thank you both so much for your incredible restoration work on the season 21 Doctor Who blu ray. The sound immerses and the picture is crisp like never before. Takes me back to school night tea times in 1984 aged 10. Sterling work.

The new @bunnyhausen.bsky.social Xylitol album is out today!! xylitol.bandcamp.com/album/blumen...

Clippy was the OG nineties junglist because he taught us to redline our mixes.

La Maison Français, quelle est la Maison Français? Daft Punk, Modjo ou un endroit pour vivre?

I’ve been wondering how I’m going to build a live set containing my ambient techno AND 1 or more French house tracks- but this from Speedy j shows the way - a low-slung disco-funk groove on an ambient techno album youtu.be/X3eqlT3EqGY?...
