Thread on the new Mats Gustafsson LP, the latest in @bluetapes.bsky.social great x-ray series. Had missed the announcement on this one but will definitely be checking it out soon as. Previous releases suggest a treat is in store...

Is the new Cardiacs album an excuse for me to repeat my story that I was once in a student film with @rhoaldearl.bsky.social playing the henchmen to Jim Smith's gangland boss? Which if you know me & Dan was hardly typecasting! Jim, on the other hand...😉

It's still on there... #NowPlaying 😍 alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/album/lsd www.cardiacs.net/lsd/

Just to make me feel even older, a post about deleting FB has reminded me that I deleted my account there around the time smoking was banned in pubs. Not in a causal way, mind.

This weekend's #TalksyArt piece... "Everything's Gone Green" (acrylic on black A4 card) #Abstract #Painting #Expressionism #Art

Think this one may finally be finished... #TalksyArt "Essence Of Ra" (melted wax & acrylics on 20x30cm canvas board) #abstract #painting #expressionism #Ra

Ive finally updated the Boundaries website with full programme, day tickets, artist bios & all their music links! So now you can hear all of their wonderful sounds. Im a little biased..but listening to each artist work earlier & imagining them all together blew me away! www.boundariesfest.com

Penny Dreadfuls though man. Still gets me.

Find it weird that Animal Collective have now released as many albums I've never even heard as albums I own by them

Another day of shite. To which my answer is the herb & some Burning Spear.

Dipped back into Ocean of Sound last night & this quote leapt off the page at me again...

Tfw you're forced to check your calendar & confirm you have absolutely nothing fun scheduled at all

You may have noticed (or probably not!) that I've not been posting anything about books for ages. My mental health & CFS have totally killed my reading mojo, can't finish anything. Must make a concerted effort to kickstart but it sucks.

Look what's finally here! Been waiting for the vinyl to arrive before listening so first play tonight...and it's not disappointing... #NowPlaying #NewMusic Al Karpenter: Greatest Heads (2025) Hitting that weirdo psych sweet spot somewhere between Nihilist Spasm Band, Royal Trux & Sun City Girls 🔥

#NowPlaying #JazzSky #Vinyl François Tusques: Free Jazz (1965) Always surprised I don't see more Tusques love on here. This is a fabulous record & his work with the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra is sublime. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#NowPlaying Todd Rundgren: Hermit Of Mink Hollow (1978) youtube.com/playlist?lis...

All this faux concern for the 'white working class' is nothing but dog-whistling to further the ruling classes' agenda. Like they ever gave a shit about working class people except as cheap exploitable labour.
