2026 will be the year I finally write my epic novel based on the western expansion Dublin in the late 20th century. Working title: "Blanch Meridian".

RIP to the absolute unicorn that was Chris Rea. A mainstream pop behemoth whose main thing was being really good at slide guitar.

Quite literally. I quote it once a week, probably.

Harry Dean Stanton. You get the David Lynch movies, but also Paris/Texas, Godfather II, Twin Peaks: The Return, and also Dig!

Hard agree. Browsing in a record stores, bookshop or charity shop is my idea of heaven. I have made so many amazing discoveries that way.

Get Back coincided with my first kid coming along and now Anthology lands same time as my second. Settling a fussy baby whilst mainlining Beatles content is now one of my main hobbies.

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Sad news. An absolute giant. RIP.

Bluesky is undoubtedly less toxic a place than Twxitter, but I find the psychological effect of using either is much the same: a noxious depression and pessimism. I think this form of social media has outlived its usefulness.

one morning, when gregor samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a very hungry caterpillar

Two hoots, a hello and a fuck all y'all. Love this album.

Same, only it's a JG Ballard novel.

My full digital discog is available at a knockdown price this #BandcampFriday. If you like creeping autumnal folk with a a dash of White Album/Syd Barrett vibes, this IS for you. adamfleming.bandcamp.com/album/taken-...

Unpopular pop/guitar dude/future loner-folk artist I am a bit White Album fixated and like blues also. Here is a sampler playlist of my music: open.spotify.com/playlist/5Xl...

Jimi Hendrix performance of "Red House" at Woodstock in 1969. 🎸🔥 #smlpdf #sheetmusic #Noten #partituras #spartiti sheetmusiclibrary.website

A basically perfect technology

Guitar is the most transhumanist instrument because you get to press flesh to metal and combine their vibrations

Neil playing Fuckin' Up on Glasto. Magnificent.

An George Orwell special: Four archive pieces from and about the great man, on the week of his birthday, 75 years after his death.

Interdimensional sky-portal at an Irish train station.

Paul Howard, via Ross O'Carroll Kelly, called Bloomsday 'Halloween for wankers', which is one of the funniest jokes I have ever heard.

Music for 18 Musicians but it’s the guitar riff from Money for Nothing

"Sly was not just a musical genius but a progressive mastermind, insisting that the band be multi-racial and made up of both men and women." 🎸 Tracey Thorn on Sly Stone

Aw, what?! Great news. cultfollowing.co.uk/2025/05/13/b...

#NowListening "Bedroom Curtains" by @flemo.bsky.social open.spotify.com/intl-es/trac...

Don't get the ugly duckling status of Fables of The Reconstruction. One of R.E.M.'s best albums for me. Better than Green or Out of Time.

Could have at least included the fact that he played guitar left-handed in the AI prompt

The medium is the message

A new Bill Fox record?!!

Louise and Shane will be down playing some acoustic songs for The Blue Room Sessions tonight in Leixlip

Good morning

I am listening to a lot of early Pink Floyd. Post-Syd, pre-DSOTM. They did a lot of productive fucking around.

For the day that's in it. www.instagram.com/share/reel/B...

Which branch of the Imperium organises soup? The Adminestrone.

I listened to Drive My Car three times in a row today, just in awe.

Here is a short rag I wrote for my daughter one morning when she was very small. I put her down and tried to write something quickly in the time before she wanted to be picked back up again. youtu.be/MFRyvIy9qTs?...

Jack MacGowran reading Beckett accompanied by the man himself and his sons on gong, flute and harmonium. RIP my family's pleasant, relaxing weekend.

A happy #bandcampfriday to everyone. My full discography is available for a special price for the day. Check it out here: adamfleming.bandcamp.com/album/taken-...

Broke through the barrier making album two...this one is definitely gonna be better than the first one

Excellent interview. I cannot wait to get stuck into William Tyler's new music. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/m...

My arrangement of 'Streets of Derry', learned from Andy Irvine/Paul Brady and Al O'Donnell youtu.be/jhJlzmuG0u0?...

Hey, I wrote a big big column on one of the greatest bands of all time: The Kinks. If you know them you love them. If you don't know them allow me to share some of the best songs ever written. uproxx.com/indie/the-ki...

This was solid 10/10 gig perfection. I left my body several times. I'm a jam band guy now, I think.

Off to see @sturgill-simpson.bsky.social tonight and looking forward to experiencing transcendence via guitar solo.

RIP Bill Fay. If ever there was a guy who did it for the right reasons.

Actually,what am I talking about, each of these tracks are prob 10 mins long minimum

I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

Saw a screening of a few of David Lynch’s short films. I miss seeing art made viscerally, cheaply, and for a small messy audience. It actually makes the world feel bigger and more interesting. Mass appeal shrinks it all down. Shit inspired me. Glad I saw it.
