Trying to find some concentration aids and, well.

The Free Speech Union commissioned a "security" report on us, so we tested their security. Turns out - it sucks. We've now published the names of everyone who has donated to a FSU fundraiser, along with how much they gave and to which campaign. www.transbashback.com/fsu.html xoxo BASH BACK

Trying to make Rhythm and Sound but it's just coming out like Lemon Jelly.

Good start to the year. Might just stay here.

I’ve always enjoyed both types of Robert Smith song: 1. The world is dead and my soul is buried in the cold, grey earth forever. It’s raining. 2. Isn’t my wife great?!

Features a Basic Design (me) track with Finnish vocals (not me).

Mercury Rev - Holes Aphex Twin - Heliosphan Stars Of The Lid - The Evil That Never Arrived

hello just a reminder you should never work with or buy from last night from glasgow because they are run by transphobes x

I have recorded, and there is no real way to dress this up as anything other than it actually is, a U2 cover. call-and-response.bandcamp.com/album/pop (Sun Drawing, track 6) A pleasure and an honour to be an ongoing part of the @callandresponse.bsky.social family.

Probably a terrible time of year to do it, but I'm selling my Fender Jaguar Thinline. A lovely guitar, it's just not for me. Very bright sounding and in excellent condition: reverb.com/uk/item/9358...

Trust Peter Perrett to write a suitably angry but complex song about the trouble with being Jewish in the current situation. Will have this over Primal Scream’s light show any day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdXg...

Nice to have a couple of releases on this lovely list from Robert (Mirrored Daughters and my solo Form Group album for @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social).

featuring members of the leaf library and fire stations, I described this as somewhere between sandy denny and stereolab, which is a great place to be imo https://fikarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/mirrored-daughters

Want to spend an evening cruising a Bandcamp account full of great music, mostly from Japan, that no one else is talking about? And then spend money on buying 3-5 albums/EPs that you can play to other people and they'll go, "What's this?" Then I have a record label account you oughtta check out:

This Bandcamp Friday, why not explore our extensive catalogue of leftfield punk and indie music from Japan (and one or two other places)? Not gonna bully you into looking at certain things this time: we trust your own inherent curiosity and joy in discovery call-and-response.bandcamp.com

Doctor: Congrats on the baby! What are you going to name him? Toss Grumley's mum: Toss Grumley

If we're doing sleigh bells = christmas song then Feminine by Julius Eastman is a christmas song (which it definitely should be, anyway): frozenreeds.bandcamp.com/album/femenine

If ever anybody needed a Ghosts of Christmas visit it's Streeting

D’ya ken? I’m keeping up with all the hot new sounds, as ever.

We're watching the wholesale burning of every scrap of dignity afforded to trans people in the UK, their rights, their medical services, their employment, their place within society, their bodily functions. It is a disgrace, and a disgusting stain on the government and media of this country.

I did a sleep out for Hackney Night Shelter back in balmy October. The fundraiser closes soon and it is currently a fiver shy of £1000 - would be a shame not to make it a nice round number… www.justgiving.com/page/matt-as... Thanks to everyone that has donated so far, means a lot.

A lovely post on @petepaphides.bsky.social's Patreon today about my (Matt's) old group, Saloon: www.patreon.com/posts/small-... Thanks Pete! (I went past the TA barracks in Reading recently, where that video for Impact was shot.)

Sitting down on a drizzly Tuesday morning and blasting the new one from @matthewjashton.bsky.social, and it's one of those albums that gets better with every listen. Beautiful drones and atmospheres. Also slightly terrifying sometimes haha: waysideandwoodlandrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/provin...

Become friends with writers online, you'll never be bored.

This piece was greenlit and then killed by a British newspaper, so I’ve decided to publish myself instead. Trans People Deserve Better. "Gender critical" feminism doesn't help women but it does help the far right open.substack.com/pub/wellread...

Here’s the wonderful debut from @dominiehooper.bsky.social for #CDFriday.

If I reach the end of my time in this realm with my sole achievement being my name on Discogs without a number after it in brackets then I will still be happy.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

This is new Soloman Tump is great - damp, autumnal electronics from Dartmoor. Sounds like the noises mushrooms make when they talk to each other through the earth. solomantump.bandcamp.com/album/open-a...

If It’s Not One Thing It’s Another

Watching this Eurythmics thing - it’s great, but I particularly enjoyed seeing them with Clem Burke on drums. And Holger Czukay! Who’d have thought.

How many number ones name check the A&R person? #totp

A thoroughly enjoyable #CDFriday (and Thursday).

some magnificently chewy textural stuff from the form group (matt ashton of the leaf library). reminding me in places of early 80s eno and roedelius https://waysideandwoodlandrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/provincial-echo

If you missed out on a physical copy get in touch...

OUT TODAY! New solo album from me, the first in many years as The Form Group. An honour to have something out on the excellent @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social label (home to several favourites): waysideandwoodlandrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/provin... RIYL Fennesz, Eno's On Land, Ryoji Ikeda

My old group Saloon did some Peel Sessions back in the day, lovingly reissued by Nick's lovely label. This is a great offer - loads and loads of quality archival stuff here. Enjoy!

This has been out for almost a year now! Still got plenty of CDs left (and now shipping to the EU) so I've dropped the price. sundrawingsounds.bandcamp.com/album/aftern... It's a wonderful album, thanks in most part to Sea Level and their reworking of my original.

Hi foxes.

Sky Foam from my new Form Group album, out 07/11 on @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social is on the Key Grips radio show. Thanks K+B.

Nice to see lots of people getting their first go on an escalator in central London this afternoon.

Made this album with SEA LEVEL a while back. Still got some CDs (and am now sending to EU as well). sundrawingsounds.bandcamp.com/album/aftern... Acoustic/electronic drifting dream states based on recordings I made in the central library in Helsinki. @callandresponse.bsky.social

Right, pick your favs out of this lot!

What’s wrong babe? You’ve hardly touched your Gregg’s Benedict.
