And another. Sigh.... (and for anyone wondering, no, I send them back and say I'm not answering AI-generated interview questions)

Not too far now from the period of the longest wait...

Out two weeks today on lovely limited sea foam green vinyl, it's a limited reissue of The Race For Space - Remixes for Record Store Day 2026! Big thanks also to the folks at Q Acoustics for sorting me (JW) out with these lovely 5040 floorstanders. They sound very, very good. Recommended!

Go on, it's Friday, treat yourself to... a Q4 2025 edition of 'which premium streaming service pays the best / worst?'! No prizes for guessing that Spotify are easily outpaid by pretty much everyone else. Great stuff, guys! www.patreon.com/posts/stream...

One behind Bowie. Crikey. We'll take that! www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m... cc @theguardian.com

Another strike for this, a clearly AI-generated 'interview' sent through for me this week. It's so lazy and so insulting, not just to me but to readers. And counter-productive. It demeans the value of every side of the equation. 'Journalists' - please, don't.

Whatever else is going on the planet, it's all happening in bird-world at the moment. I highly recommend 20-30 minutes of walking / watching / listening if you can. Chiffchaffs are back, as are blackcaps (the ones that left). Only a month and a bit til the swifts. Birds are great.

Just looking at Paris next week, and a rare day off.. having just blazed through Hilary Mantel's A Place of Greater Safety, can anyone recommend a good revolution-focused museum or similar? Preferably not overcrowded, but I know, it's Paris (c'est la vie)

Currently 4 tracks in to demoing the next album (still a long way off) and we have 4/4, 7/4, 4/4 and 5/4 respectively. Tracks 2, 3 and 4 all also have random bars with an extra beat in. Not particularly doing the 'we're not prog' argument any good

Pleased to report that interviews / Q&As for us are starting to come in, from respectable outfits, which are clearly generated by ChatGPT. The temptation to answer using the same method is pretty strong... were it not for the fact that AI comes up with utter garbage. Plus, I'm not that lazy.

This has always been clear: plant-based meat alternatives are better for the planet and, at least compared to red meat, better for your health. That this is not widely accepted is the product of meat industry disinfo, science illiteracy, and some very stupid journalists. www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/h...

This is very good news and has been overdue for.. well, pretty much four decades. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

How is anyone supposed to do any work when the test match is this good? 🏏

Following on from this, I wrote this post below about Good Vibrations and even felt moved enough to create a tempo map for it. Free to read, if you're interested: www.patreon.com/posts/131308...

I heard Good Vibrations whilst out and about the other day and actually remarked out loud: 'Listen to how brilliant this is, and how absolutely bonkers. No one does it like this any more.' And indeed they don't, and won't. Sorry to see you go, Mr Wilson.

We're heading back to North America for the first time in over 8 years - anyone who wants to register for the pre-sale tomorrow, head here! publicservicebroadcasting.os.fan/na-pre-sale

Just a reminder - this is happening in c. 22 minutes. Having been through my own ticketing odyssey this morning (CBeebies Prom), godspeed to all who venture forth.

Our two Barbican shows go on general sale tomorrow (Friday) at 10am. Based on the pre-sale we think they'll go pretty quickly - good luck everyone! www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

Thanks to everyone who bought tickets via the Barbican pre-sale this morning - it's not especially intuitive or clear, but pre-sale has now been closed as all tickets sold. Please try again in the general sale on Friday at 10am if you were unsuccessful
