Van Halen's video for 'jump' is incredibly poor quality. It must've been done before the song went big. Like and subscribe for unparalleled cultural shenanigans.

I think the one thing that kills me during all this horror is having faith Boards Of Canada will do another album.

Little sleep,so went out to feed the thuggish, aristocratic swans who were entirely ungrateful. Did listen to the new SML and Mackaya McCraven albums on the ever nuts @intlanthem.bsky.social both of which cheered me up immensely. I'm going out out this afternoon, so apols JQ.

Super impressed face that's really digging the low end on rolling '94 amen jungle. Almost #caturday

Best music adjacent book I've read since Monolithic Undertow. More like this, fewer like "...and then bob shit left because tony wonk was a control freak. Then they released Dingo Parade" John Higgs: KLF. Chaos, magic and the band who burned a million pounds

10m around the top bit of the Cotswolds. Loads of red kite down there now, hunting on the ploughed fields.

Cedric the cat very much not enjoying the fireworks, his brother dngaf. Emergency dreamies are being deployed.

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down. He’s struggling to find any work at the moment. He’s a brilliant writer and has written for Dangermouse, Private Eye and many more… If you need a writer have a look at his website and please repost. www.mathew-owen.co.uk Thank you

#caturday with abstract, vantablack and very asleep Omar

Just had this out for a walk on the headphones and couldn't agree more; this is G R E A T

Shreddies gave away a hemispherical rubber popper thing that you turned inside out and it popped up in the air. To entertain my sister I attached it to the centre of my forehead which left a perfectly circular lovebite when removed. I was 16 and had a date with a girl that night. Didn't go well.

As a counter to all the corporate 'spooktacular' horseshit we'll get bombarded with today, here's Hey Colossus blowing away the cobwebs. Man, hospital radio really missed out when they escorted me off site.

What's the biggest leaf?

I like the new Tortoise. No hanging about, either. Just how I like it.

I lost my best friend a few weeks back and his remaining family wanted me to have his LPs, so as a cheap form of therapy I'm going to clean them up and post some notable ones on here as and when I can manage it. Or I might abandon the whole idea, who knows?

#caturday 🎶 Shiny, shiny. Shiny boys hate weather 🎶

#cdfriday with my favourite Susumu Yokota. I *really* need someone to buy me the new box set. Susumu Yokota : Sakura

'90s Michael Bay would kill for this level of non-stop action. Would certainly make his films more watchable too.

*So* many songs, but this is the track (and mix) that we played the most. Dave Ball RIP.

#caturday Cedric the cat keeping me company and stopping me from doing anything useful. Good lad.

#twaterday Considerate builders left their wagon with its flashing lights on outside my back windows since they knocked off last night, so made a 6am squash/tofu Thai red curry. Going to pop over after breakfast and turn it off with a lump hammer.

Omar the cat is fascinated by winderz update. Me, less so.

I think news sites of all stripes *vastly* overestimate the desire I want to read whatever it is I've clicked through to compared to my disinclination to either give them money or put some fake registration data in their leaky-assed backend.

I thought today was going to be sunny. In retrospect, that was probably a cheese dream.

My best friend, who passed last month, was featured in one of these @etherdiver.bsky.social round ups recently and he was *over the moon* about it. A fantastic thing to do for people with unseen and massively positive consequences.

Slapped arse faced fascist unimpressed by beatboxing demo.

Appalling sleep, so easing into #cdfriday with this beauty, which I've been low key obsessed with for years and *finally* got a physical copy when they did another batch recently. CD-R DJ Sprinkles (Terre Thaemlitz)- Midtown 120 Blues (2008)

What with this and the recent Huntington's breakthrough we can glimpse hope that good people are still hard at work doing incredible things while the worst people in the world in positions of enormous power are doing their very best to curtail this kind of scientific progress. Sorry, wrong meeting.

This (and the one that followed that I've somehow upstairs conflated into one debauched tale) is a great book and *well* worth a punt.

#caturday Mate *paws face* Mate *paws face* Mate *paws face* Mate *paws face* Mate *paws face* Mate *paws face*

Just been to the local indie to see Caught Stealing. It was not for me. It had the character and storytelling depth of a GTA4 side mission. It's DARREN ARONOFSKY.

Unexpected additions to a gentleman's bathroom alone time.

Don't need much excuse to go 4hero for #cdfriday I lump these together as one huge, genius set. 4hero Two Pages / Earth Pioneers

It's Bandcamp Fri and we (Wrong Speed Records) have the new KLING KLANG album for pre-order! "Half Life" comes on ltd ed yellow LP or DL. We'll ship in the next few weeks or it's in shops Nov 14 if you prefer. Browse the back catalogue while you're there! klingklang.bandcamp.com/album/half-l...

*Love* @bandcamp.com Fridays because my feed is all people punting their music - old, new and a whole bunch I've never heard/heard of - as opposed to the usual apocalyptic US/UK politics based psychodrama that's making us all ill. Also, it's a Friday. Take the good where you find it these days.

What a great album!

BI-MON-SCI-FI-CON AND Is there anything fluffier than a cloud? If there is, I don't wanna know about it.

Took this and its predecessor out for a long sweaty walk earlier and can thoroughly recommend both. Gun to head I'm erring on this one: more dubby, more ARPy, more my lane but they're both *nuts* good.

Afternoon gig with Liz Still from Haress and the vortex of insanity @gweniferraymond.bsky.social - I think gwenifer's off out on tour in a bit and if it's by you and you don't go we can't be friends. Straight up one of the best things I've been to in years.

Jeez, pin ONE Patrick Cowley mix and get served thirsty bears in 'for you' until the end of time.

lovely weather 8m walk around the legitimate concerns shire. Thought I wouldn't see any of my fallow deer friends, but then a bunch ran out in front of me, antlers nicely on the way. Buzzard, nuthatch, sparrowhawk.

This is just fantastic: Camp of Wolves - Bear Creek on Lunar Module

Finished Alien:Earth - I liked it! I think the only consistent thing about the, er, franchise is inconsistency. Definitely referring to it as YAlien:Earth, though. In other media news, saw the very good Red Rooms last night. I have protagonist motivation questions, but apart from that 👌

#caturday My beloved vantablack housemate #2 at the vets this morning, but he's back with me now, ripped to the tits on drugs, as is right and proper for a Saturday. I'll wait til he comes down before telling him what he owes me.

#cdfriday As it's the patron saint of 3am petrol station eyes' birthday, I'm going to alternate my way through the studio/live albums. No idea where the first one is, but it's playing as we speak. Impossible not to croon along with a pen as a skinny mic. Roxy Music: Viva + For Your Pleasure

Goodnight to my best friend. He'd hate this song. Hope he's far away across the universe finding new weird things to get excited about.

Fao @anthonygregory.bsky.social

Timely example of the one true purpose of the internet.

Not saying things are a bit off at the mo, but spent 10 mins making this
