theaardvark's #LichfieldRadio takeover plans... Step 1 - Lull them into a false sense of security by being a congenial and convivial cohost on a morning breakfast show... Step 2 - Take up an offer to present your own weekly afternoon show. Step 3 - Accept […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

RE: https://flipboard.com/@independent/life-style-egmmthaaz/-/a-5bSWK3a_S4CAGjIa5ewZRw%3Aa%3A1855170754-%2F0 I haven't read it, but I'm going to go for "anything that's taken as a suppository or pessary".

Far too many of my open browser tabs are "music I want to buy when I've got money", and I can't think of any other way to collect them together that won't just get lost to the vagaries of an ADHD head. I recently started buying music again, collecting tunes for my weekly #lichfieldradio show […]

Why are these the only two cables my old work iPhone Xr will accept a charge from? And how has it managed to pick the two least practical cables in the entire house?

Today's theardvark's radio show on Lichfield Radio is up to listen to on demand on #mixcloud With music from - Arooj Aftab & Beck - Dutty Moonshine Big Band - Jalen Ngonda - The Real McKenzies - Kitten Pyramid - Punk Rock Factory - Frank Starshiphead - Gorstey Lea AKA - Ferocious Dog & Hazel […]

A slice of my disparate and chaotic ADHD-driven life. Started this morning with a discussion on Customs Duty Inward Processing Relief. This afternoon, I broadcast an hour-long genre fluid music show on https://lichfieldradio.org/ Moved on to completing and […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Want to know when theaardvark's radio show is next on #LichfieldRadio? Well, this graphic says 2 hrs and 49 mins, but that was only accurate as of a few minutes ago. You could go and check the link below, or you could just set an alarm for 3pm BST every […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Tomorrow. 3pm. One hour of music chosen entirely by me, which should worry you. theaardvark's radio show on #lichfieldradio. Eclectic. Unfiltered. Arguably professional. Objectively irresponsible. lichfieldradio.org #theaardvark #Lichfield #Burntwood #localradio #eclecticmusic

What an odd thing for FB to say in my browser....

Unfortunately for the world, I'm doing a live DJ set tonight at 9pm. Only a vague idea of what I might play. Some of it will end up on Lichfield Radio on Tuesday. Some of it absolutely will not. You can watch either way. https://shows.theaardvark.co.uk #theaardvark #localradio #djset

So, you can now follow my weblog if you wish and have #blogposts show up in your Fediverse feed. @theaardvark.co.uk#blogposts I mean, I really don't know why you'd put yourself through that. It's not as though I don't already plug them here. But some of you might wish to. If only to massage my ego.

DEFINITION OF THE DAY Fortean Times, adv. Once a day, for two weeks.

I'm afraid I've #blogged again. It's a new #onesongoneplaylist about Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love. The post is about why this one was harder than usual to put together, how it ended up being a Christmas song despite not actually being one, and why it matters to me a bit more […]

It's sounding very blowy out there.

I'm loving this comment about my radio show from a fellow station host. So much that I clipped it to drop into my show next week. #radioshow #broadcasting #enthusiasticamateur

A good friend was kind enough to record me show intro and outro indents for my radio show, and I "accidentally" got sucked into a hyperfocus, turning one of them into a finished product with music and all that shit. I don't think it's bad, for a complete amateur.

Why do some musicians/bands make it so hard to actually buy their music? Why only point me to Spotify or YouTube, where you'll get 0.00001p for the one time I listen to the tune before forgetting it exists, cos listening again would require me to remember that I liked it and actively seek it […]

I've mentally drafted and then forgotten at least three grade-a toots today.

As @Winni4u just reminded me, this morning's Snoozy Breakfast Show on Lichfield Radio is available to listen to "on demand" as they say in the biz. We fell down a rabbit hole of "music from 1970s films" this morning, and didn't make it back out until 3 tunes before the end. We also played a […]

RE: https://ravenation.club/@etherdiver/116370919084459143 As a first-time submitter a few weeks ago, I recommend submitting your music to @etherdiver's OPM blog. I got some fantastic feedback on my #aardhd tune from its readers. I've also been reading the blog posts and picked up some decent […]

It's Thursday tomorrow and we're back on Lichfield Radio with the Snoozy Breakfast Show, 7–9 am! Ruth Redgate and I will be keeping you company over breakfast. Burntwood's market is making a return — brilliant news for local traders and the town. Worth a read […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Today's Lichfield Radio show is up on Mixcloud for you to listen back to...... It features at least one tune from a Fediverse musician who messaged me with their music. https://www.mixcloud.com/LichfieldRadioShows/w-paul-april-7-theaardvark-radio-show/

@mattyoung Hey dude! I played Speakeasy Blue on my Lichfield radio show this afternoon. The show's up on #mixcloud to listen back to at the link below. Your tune is at 52m 59s on the recording. Cheers for shouting out and pointing me toward it. I think I've got another tune from the album […]

Spent today editing and uploading a video for WheelyHappyDays — Sha shaving her head. Hair's been thinning for months due to FND, ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, menopause, and stress. She decided to take control of it rather than keep watching it go. The blog post is up with the full story. Worth a read […]

This afternoon has been occupied, and a little unusual. MrsVark made a big decision today. I think it's turned out well. I just wish I was a better photographer. #shavedhead #FND #chronicillness

I sent out the first-ever edition of The Irregular email newsletter. If you're one of the lucky few to have signed up already, be sure to hang onto your copy. It might be worth some ££££s when I'm big and famous. Or infamous. Whatever happens first. If you would like to read it and you haven't […]

The stim/tic post I did earlier became an internet rabbit hole I fell down. Which became an overly long blog post. The answer to "is this a stim or a tic?" seems to be "it's complicated." Which is both validating and annoying. Post also includes: a list of my greatest vocal hits, MrsVark […]

I'm not the Paul Taylor who is quoted in an article by The Mirror about the VAT burden faced by Youth Clubs and Community Halls on keeping the buildings maintained. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/community-treasury-vat-youth-museums-36966034 #paultaylor #notthispaultaylor #notthepaultaylor

My current vocal tik/stim* appears to be "frank-en-furter". As with all my vocal tics/stims, the syllables are all stressed/exaggerated. *I'm no longer completely sure whether they're autistic stims or tics. I used to think the former, but I'm not so sure now. Not that it makes much difference […]

New show alert. 📻 theaardvark's radio show launches this Tuesday, 7 April, 3–4pm on Lichfield Radio. An hour of music I actually want to play. Eclectic, presenter-led, no apologies. (The show graphic is in progress. Apparently 94% done.) 🔗 […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Holy smokes, and stuff!!! #aardhd

For the next 30 minutes... an on-the-spur-of-the-moment test livestream show. https://next.slipmat.io/theaardvark/adhoc_CJvVEwC8NfgC_nrv/

Guess who forgot to take his ADHD meds with him when he went to donate platelets. So missed his evening dose and, after getting up at 6am to be on the radio, is now crashing into high levels of fatigue. #knackered

It's platelets donation day again. #plateletdonation

I was on the radio* again this morning, co-hosting Lichfield Radio's Snoozy Breakfast show with Rockie the Radio. The show is up to listen to on demand at https://lichfieldradio.org/live-weekdays-snoozy-breakfast-show/

Go on then. I'll give them a try. What harm can it do? #marmite

My eyes are tired. I just read a recipe titled "Saruman Fillets with Honey New Potatoes." My brain is tired because it took longer than it should for me to realise my error.

It doesn't matter how many times I see it, the "Colonel Abrahams" line at the end of the Private Browsing duolog has me in stitches without fail. #mocktheweek

When you listen to music, you start blinking in sync... A promo short for the #aardhd project. https://youtube.com/shorts/ICvo22QXfkk #music #focusmusic

Dontcha hate weekends that were full of promise and achievement, but delivered not much more than veging and tiredness?

A friend told me they thought they hated Drum & Bass, until they heard my "Flow State - Vivid Flow Remix". Since then they've been seeking similar Liquid DnB, Cinematic DnB, and Atmospheric DnB. If you think you don't like DnB, of mine to hear whether this changes your mind […]

I'm told that you can often order illegal drugs to be delivered to your house until quite late at night. Does anyone have the number for such a service local to me? And do you know whether they would pick up several lbs of Haribo from the 24 hour garage on their way to me? I'll even let them […]

This isn't the official announcement, but it's just been confirmed that I have a weekly, hour-long music show on Lichfield Radio. It will be every Tuesday from 3pm to 4pm starting April 7th. So.... (hoping I won't regret saying this out loud) hit me up with any new music* you have that I might […]

I'm streaming on TikTok, for those who suffer that indignity, from the Lichfield Radio studio. Note.... this is studio audio only. Not the streaming audio... https://www.tiktok.com/@theaardvarkuk/live
