My friend Susan's daughter died by suicide in Autumn last year. This weekend Susan is climbing the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales in 24 hours with Melissa's friends to raise money and awareness for the Canmore Trust. Melissa was a vibrant, talented, unique and empathetic person

I'm very much for the Hilliardian research method of taking casual curiosity and observation and building on it. Honky Tonk men and wine. @emhilly.bsky.social oxfordamerican.org/magazine/iss...

Very resonant interview with @peteralanross.bsky.social here. Reflecting on his trilogy he addresses some fundamental questions of people, place, time and interconnection & what it is to keep making work with a kind of antithetical faith perhaps. mathewlyons.substack.com/p/memory-pla...

There's only one Annea Lockwood.

Turns out the brick lord lives in Kent

By deities I mean a Spanish brick company or a man in Newcastle.

Please all pray to the brick gods that they take pity on me and send me the free specialist bricks that I really need for something now I've decided I need them for something.

I would really like to go and see this having read about her in this piece by @monsterbobby.bsky.social but I can't. apollo-magazine.com/christine-ko...

That's my backhanded offer to do their next video. Personal gauntlet/electronic dudes.

"‘Live At Liquid Room, Tokyo’ set a new standard in visceral intensity for a genre still in development. 30 years on its raw power remains unparalleled. Here, Jeff Mills tells Oli Warwick the story behind this landmark moment in techno history …"

@sixfootgallery.bsky.social just realised you are here, I thought just ig or would have been including you, sorry

I had the privilege and fun of spending yesterday with Annea Lockwood ahead of her career spanning events at Counterflows this weekend. Thanks to her for being part of the Glasgow body map for vibrato, and engaging so thoughtfully with my work at Six Foot Gallery (who have a chalk removing brush)

'Good Morning USA!' To all the wonderful people I know in that beknighted land, do yourselves a huge favour and move heaven and earth to get yourselves a ticket to see @mekons.bsky.social on the coming tour, it will be life-affirming, and good god you poor souls need a bit of that just now.

I reckon Joan Armatrading's Drop the Pilot, followed by Womack and Womack's Teardrops, followed by Joe Jackson's Stepping Out will one day be my ice hockey karaoke triumvirate of perfection
