Swordman Kitala x Soft-Bodied Humans - Magada Biwuka EP Not a Blue Tape, but my Soft-Bodied Humans project dropped its second collaboration with Ugandan MC Swordman Kitala over at Third Kind Records. Dancier, heavier and weirder than our first EP.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

New approach to canned tomatoes: Buy canned whole tomatoes, open the can, stick scissors into the can and go berserk on the tomatoes right there in the can, then add those tomato shards the sauce or whatever.

#NowSpooling🎧🔥▶️ SAFEZONE - Dogs Versus Shadows Released on Black Pylon blackpylon.bandcamp.com/album/safezone

I've just released the usual FREE festive EP as a small token of my gratitude for all the support for my music again this year over on my Bandcamp page. I hope you enjoy it and thanks once again. ❤️🙏 veryan.bandcamp.com/album/broken...

Some final recommendations for the year from me (including a beautiful album from last year but new to me). I’m sure I’m missing loads (bad organisation) plus the Beths (currently in love w this) and Lorde (brilliant and most played album on the home speaker) but don’t yet have the physicals.

💙💛💙

25% off all tapes and digital for the last two weeks of 2025.

I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that Stranger Things S5 E7 has a real Rebel Convoy vibe! 😳 spunoutofcontrol.bandcamp.com/album/rebel-...

There isn’t a thing in the world that could convince me that Toni Vernelli hasn’t taken “30 pieces of silver” for this shit

My favourite album of 2025 is The Cords by The Cords. Here they choose some favourite songs for Triste©️ tristesunset.com/2025/12/23/m...

48. Various Artists - The Beltane Tape

🙌

Just ran the numbers and it turns out that if you were to try to listen to 200 tapes end to end with no breaks, it would take you about 4 years. So we don’t know how @tabsout.bsky.social managed it, but somehow they did, and we are very excited to have STR tapes included among those.

Congratulations to Dr Peter J Woods on this prestigious and well deserved academic achievement!

THE ONLY EOYL THAT MATTERS!!Entirely coincidental it’s the only one we get on 😉 Great to see our Trium Circulorum album and The Beltane Tape on here, as well as my Nicholas Langley tape on @cruelnaturerecs.bsky.social 🙌 Big congrats to Peter J Woods and Strategic Tape Reserve 💙💙

With the constant attacks on academic research stretching across the globe, it is incredibly brave to nominate my tape, "Learning by Listening Vol. 9: Learning to Make Noise: Toward a Process Model of Artistic Practice within Experimental Music Scenes," as the best cassette of the year.

Thanks Trev for playing Sussex Telecom and Hz on the latest Virtual Cassette! Nice to hear William Carlos Whitten in there too!

RIP to one of the techno greats. 🎛️🙏

I thought Salford Electronics was here in BlueSky but now can't seem to find them... Anyway, they've just released a mega trilogy of albums on bandcamp... Really really good! salfordelectronics.bandcamp.com/album/trilogy

December 20th. A partially rubberised torso stands on the corner of Edward Street and screams for thirty seconds before vanishing.

Some favourites from the year (no order, more to follow) #aoty2025

The Fisty Kendal album is maddeningly joyful all over the place electronica that doesn’t take itself too seriously- just what we need this year. And the Pains comp is so full of energy it makes you fall in love all over again.

The first Fisty Kendal album came out 10 years ago. It compiled tracks by Stephen Cousins from the previous 17 years. The cassette came with Zener cards fistykendal.bandcamp.com/album/mind-c...

If you love Wish You Were Here you should check out Baby by Lila Tristram lilatristram.bandcamp.com/album/america

Proud to be on this label tbh

My love for mid 80’s boogie has been unstoppable recently, check out this absolute fkin banger youtu.be/THrGvmqxsmU

Going right back to the beginning of the Dogs Versus Shadows catalogue - this one is so good! I was lucky enough to get the vinyl early on dogsversusshadows.bandcamp.com/album/a-bill...

Brilliant mix! Thanks Xylander for playing Near Stoic and Veryan from Third Kind releases! @veryanmusic.bsky.social

Spotify becoming an outlet for tacky off-brand AI counterfeits is honestly pretty funny and a fittingly stupid way for them to fade out.
