RIP Mani... my favourite bass player since 1988.... too early.

Porno for pyros. #malmöff

The dark is rising over our stadium.

Today I am mostly swearing for decoration. @prolapseband.bsky.social

Mixing the next non-soundtrack, regular OCA album. The snippet is about 12 minutes into the 36 minute song that will begin the album, and which was performed at the NGBG festival a few years ago.

I can't think of anything more Malmö than these Erotic World posters. All over the city. Every autumn. Every year. And the event doesn't even take place in the same country.

Just listened through the next OCA soundtrack for the first time since it was handed in in May. Now, that's two hours the listener will never ever get back. Proper missing time, except for getting probed by a grey alien.

Europa League night.

Terrific lecture on the history of the football offside law by The Guardian's Jonathan Wilson.

New LP in the mail by those jangly C86 popsters @prolapseband.bsky.social. Approved by the shadows of myself, a wooden elephant and my inability to take descent cell phone photos.

Probably the only one wearing a Sea & Cske t-shirt att today's Malmö FF match. Over and out.

Proper autumn 1967 Syd Barrett vibes on this new @prolapseband.bsky.social track. Can't wait for the vinyl to arrive.

🇵🇹 FC Porto 🇨🇿 Viktoria Plzen 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Nottingham Forest 🇧🇪 KRC Genk Nice away matches for Malmö in the Europa League. Which one(s) to pick, decisions decisions..

3-0! Half-way to the Europa League.

Lots of noise, slow dub, half-speed jungle, jazz samples and fuzz bass on the next non-soundtrack OCA album... and a terrific vocal by @davidlancecallahan.bsky.social. That and much more, including a lead-off 38 minute song. Might come out late in 2025. Hopefully.

So my local in Malmö has been playing Swirlies all night. It is a very nice evening.

Tonight. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Listen to Pedro Boregaard's new song "Maybe", featuring guitar, bass, keys, arrangement and partial mix by Orange Crate Art. open.spotify.com/track/2q5SoA...

The new Orange Crate Art EP, "Extraordinary Gradations of Mauve redux", featuring remixes by Robin Guthrie, Hologram Teen, National Screen Service and The Beremy Jets, is out now on Bandcamp and your favourite streaming platforms. orangecrateart.bandcamp.com/album/extrao...

Sitting in a Chania, Crete bar in the afternoon and they play Stereolab's Moogie Wonderland, Moodles, Narco Martenot, The Noise of Carpet....and on and on and on. While I happen to wear a Lab tee... pardon my excitedly terrible cell phone clips

Newsflash: the Sony bluetooth speaker I bought for the Greece trip can't handle the low end on MBV's Isn't Anything.

Drinking in a bar in Chania and the owner totally looks like a Greek @derrymick.bsky.social. Probably hasn't heard The Sea Urchins, though.

Honoring the big guy at work today.

Rest in peace, big guy. youtu.be/RKEsehvPOvM?...

Football, they say.

he next Orange Crate Art documentary soundtrack, as of yet untitled, is now mixed and mastered. Some may even call it finished. Will be delivered to directors Brian Chidester and John Winer very soon and once their film is done, Bob will be your uncle.

Solitary pint with "Cha Cha 2000" by La Dùsseldorf as company. Might favourite part has always been when Klaus Dinger sings "We need better leaders... don't cheat us, don't CHEAT US!". Seems like he wrote it about 2025.

While you're waiting (?) for the next OCA release, I've done some session work for the excellent singer-songwriter Pedro Boregaard, for his producer Brian Chidester. ->

It’s Spring sun o'clock.

Hey @silja-hm.bsky.social and @derrymick.bsky.social, you should go and see Mark from Seefeel do a solo Seefeel set at BLÅ in Oslo tonight!

An evening for staying in with The Carpenters on repeat. That is all for now.

So @prolapseband.bsky.social when can I pre-order the new LP and also buy a new fish-smelling tee?

Incredible new song by @prolapseband.bsky.social, and my favourite too from the London gig a few months ago.

Hello.

Happy birthday, Dennis. youtu.be/hed-71y5eTo?...

Hawaii on vinyl! @thehighllamas.bsky.social

The things you do for your football team. #budapestaway #malmöff

My local pub is playing The Captain and Tennille and that's all I need right now.

On May 24th, Orange Crate Art will release the next album, "Edge​-​Curl​-​Line: The Pop​-​Art World of John Van Hamersveld (Original Soundtrack)". It's the soundtrack to Brian Chidester and John Winer's documentary short on John Van Hamersveld. ->

Flyying Colours. From Australia to Copenhagen. Nice. Not the French city.

Hello to all of you ex exes (ex Xs? ex X Twitter rocket scientists?). Thanks for the invite, Duncan. Will try to find all of you that I follow on Twitter. This place looks just like Twitter minus all of the garbage.
