Go round the outside.

Goodnight, Mr. Bamonte x

Also, this Jaws documentary actually does live up to its title, featuring as it does pretty much every living person who was involved in the film's production. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Did anyone do anything special for their Christmas Poo?

Unsure how long after supper but both of us brained out where we sat/slumped. Woke up half hour ago, slightly confused but peckish.

Huge thanks once again to the @vinylsanta.bsky.social gang for organising & shepherding yet another amazing community beano x

#NowSpinning Permahorn - My Blood Carries My Dreams Away (UK 2017) The unmistakable Dogbowlness of the title track opens these students of Shimmy Disc's debut & only LP, mixed & mastered by Kramer for the two album only Shimmy 500 label. #NowPlaying #DimlyLitTurntableForOne #Vinyl

#NowSpinning Cardiacs - On Land & In The Sea (UK 2025 RM, Ri) i gave custody of all my og Cardiacs LPs to a super fan ex, Emily, in a v amicable split in '91. Tim Smith kicked a moshing twat in the head for bullying her at their 89ish Bierkeller gig. #NowPlaying #DimlyLitTurntableForOne #Vinyl

#NowSpinning Temps - Party Gator Purgatory (UK 2023) James Acaster's really rather brilliant & endlessly pleasing side-step music collab fever dream, featuring some of TWR's fave deep cuts e.g. Law Holt x Xmas gift to M. #NowPlaying #DimlyLitTurntableForOne #Vinyl

Goodnight, Mr. Rea x

This morning/lunchtime i hand-delivered some Xmas Cards, did some last minute bits&bobs shopping & stumbled across this lovely trove along the way. Permahorn was an online find/AM delivery. Record details in #ALTtext. Also picked up a bunch of records for £1 as potential Vinyl Santa 2026. #Vinyl

Why Sound Matters is now an audio book as well - not me reading but pro narrator Douglas Pratt www.audible.com/pd/Why-Sound...

House cleaned. Windows washed. Decorations & tree up. Presents wrapped. M's Ma & Brah visiting for lunch tomorrow. The Christmas holiday is officially go x

By all accounts 2 primary schools around the corner from me went into lockdown earlier due to reports of a man with a gun wandering around Adamsdown.

On the third night of our upcoming run @cafeotodalston.bsky.social, Naomi and I will play a set but there will also be a conversation about my new book with a couple of amazing interlocutors

i seem to be at the age now where random old fellahs in their 70s & 70s say variations of "Hello, bud" or "How're you today?" as i pass them on the street.

& a Merry Fkn Christmas to you, Network Rail.

i have a hunch Llinos Griffin-Williams is going to seriously regret bringing a High Court case against #S4C.

Nanaimo FTW x

Morning! How's *your* heavy loss-making social media Ai treating *you* today?

MY GOD look at how much comedy used to be on the BBC.

You still can hear/buy/download it here simonlove.bandcamp.com/track/its-ch...

Pretty unwell today, in bed until 5pm-ish. Seemingly my cat, Newt, has been sat on the stairs yelling all day for me to keep him company. When i got up he followed me into the lounge, still yelling, went to a corner & protest pissed - barely missing a plug socket. Anyone want a broken cat for Xmas?

25 years ago Kirsty left us x

15 years ago we lost Beefheart x

Join Damon & Naomi, Stewart Lee and Gina Birch to celebrate the launch of @dadadrummer.bsky.social's new book, Why Sound Matters. Monday 5th January, 7.30pm, Cafe Oto, Dalston. Tickets: www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/damon... “[Why Sound Matters] It’s a modern masterpiece.”—Jarvis Cocker

In the house on my own w/the cat. For last 20mins he's been sat staring at the open lounge door (the 1 that opened by itself) occasionally mewling then slowly shifting closer to the door & repeating the process so he's now in the doorway, staring up towards the stairs & 'chatting' away at the dark.

@vinylsanta.bsky.social How do. The #VinylSanta feed seems to only show the last 10 posts - is this a feed thing or do i have to tweak settings? Cheers x

@reecedinsdale.bsky.social Good morning Reece. For so many people Christmas is a very difficult time and sadly not one bringing happiness. This infographic might help someone-

38years ago, around 3am, my dad woke me to say goodbye to my mum who had finally let go of her years long battle with multiple cancers. i was newly 16 & never grew older nor had a decent night's sleep again. it's surreal to think she has now been gone longer than she was here.

Just watched Licorice Pizza for the first time - props to insomnia - &, my immediate take away is, it contains a lot of running. A LOT of running.

I work in the NHS and resident doctors have my full support. NHS staff must have full pay restoration if we are to provide the NHS patients deserve.

Wish i could make one of these, but health dictates. So, then, *you* should go & lap up what promises to be a fantastic residency x

My podcast @murderbastard.bsky.social has a narrator struggling with long COVID. It's barely been whispered about in fiction/the arts so far, that's why I wanted to.

i received some mail with some actual stamps.

Don't wait for the BBC or Ch4 to report on the legal and human rights abuses of the Filton 24 – political prisoners jailed for trying to stop a genocide. We must rely on independent film-makers to tell their story. Please help here if you can: chuffed.org/project/oper...
