Since its genesis in a 1990 Swindon bedroom, the “scrubby” and “rumbly” track, “The March of the Department of Works” by Eamonn Ominous has been remixed by kindly folk and then mixed by @darrg.bsky.social, thus forming the “MixDoWn”. Departing Monday from WCR y Radio MINERVA_2200 BST//1800 ART. 🍄

They are coming

I’ve been rather taken with the idea of the Beverly Hills Public Library since I acquired this book … visions of Golden Age Hollywood stars popping in with their tickets to pick up the latest Ellery Queen.

It was so hot in 1976 that brooms being used as air guitars spontaneously combusted.

@rhodri.biz … a very old joke suddenly becomes obsolete.

Ooh, a new one on me!

Back to work tomorrow after a week off 🙁

A shame it didn’t fold out into an enormous pin-up of Stanley Unwin.

I really wish I could post the nostalgic bacon sandwich smell that is permeating Honiton at the moment.

Darren’s Law: You will never find the thing you went looking for that you last saw ‘just the other day’, but you will find some other joyous treasure you forgot you had.

Two very different products from very different companies being advertised using the same quirky & distinctive piece of 1970s Europop. Why does it make my brain hurt?

From the days when you could publish an entry in a ‘Modern Masters’ series that completely demolished the arguments of the ‘modern master’ in question. Also, if you bought the whole set, the sleeves apparently made one great big picture.

I would also appreciate it if a bunch of nerds helped me iron out any bugs in this: andrewblair.co.uk/apps/who-tit... #doctorwho

If you want to enjoy the unedifying spectacle of an ageing man struggling to find the words for things he really ought to know, or just forgetting what he’s doing per se, you could do worse than catch up with my most recent Live Vinyl Hour from @fromefm.bsky.social … www.mixcloud.com/FromeFM/51-l...

Where I find myself at the moment …

It’s five minutes to six and nearly time for the Live Vinyl Hour on @fromefm.bsky.social … www.frome.fm

Still a few of these left, don’t be prey to FOMO! Be prey to MotDoW! eamonnominous.bandcamp.com/album/march-...

Ominous is Go! Get Marching folks! eamonnominous.bandcamp.com/album/march-...

Tomorrow Colander Archive releases a 6” lathe cut single featuring 2 instrumental tracks made by Eamonn Ominous in 1990. Packed in an authentic Ministry of Works envelope, only 30 of these exist & they come with a free CD of reworkings by BMH, Darrg, Dogs vs Shadows and Famished for Blonds. Whoop!

Caught short with nowhere to deposit your urinary and faecal waste? Worry no more with the Personal Sewer from Ronco …

Next Monday …

Last night’s Frome FM is this morning’s Mixcloud www.mixcloud.com/FromeFM/57-s...

They must have had these made so the Dr Who fans could spot the B7 fans coming and cross the road to avoid them.

I’m back in that Space Folk Horror Lounge tonight on Frome FM , 9pm … @fromefm.bsky.social www.frome.fm

Still Life With Kosmische LP, fourth in an occasional series …

The future.

For years I’ve been wondering where the presumed BFI set of this had got to - now here it is on Severin looking lovely.

For some reason I have started today going ‘bluesky-e-i, hush hush, eye-to-eye’

Deep joy of the performy sealers folloloping in the watery bode.

BBC rocket launches, then …

Zoiks

Weeping Elvis

Sort-of summed up where I am at the moment.
