Anyone else finding it really hard to get into GBBO this year? Just feels really flat for some reason...don't seem to care about any of the contestants/challenges.

In training for #crispsandwichday

Reblorp for the evening crowd:

Cool dude is cool:

“My wife went to Riyadh to see an edgy comedian” “Jimmy Carr?” “No, she went of her own accord”

Note to self: never try and sell stuff on Facebook marketplace again, it’s not worth the hassle from mad weirdos.

My third Non Canon album is released two months today! It’s been quite an eventful time since the last one*, so I’m super excited to get this out into the world. Preorder links are up at linktr.ee/dolanthology And there’s a new single from it hitting streaming places this Friday.

Might cover this:

New record drops Friday. Two new songs out Monday. Available wherever you prefer to stream music.

Nearly bought this for the baby earlier but it has a disturbing “Elon Musk doing a ‘Roman’ salute” energy to it:

found out where they made the Incredible Hulk

The new Shiner record rules. Jason Gerken is one of the best rock drummers on the planet. Allen Eppley is a genius songwriter. So stoked to have new music from KC's finest in 2025. tidal.com/album/447241...

New merch! T-shirts for when it’s warm enough, hoodies for when you have to go outside/dont want to put the heating on. (We’ve already put the heating on) noncanon.bandcamp.com/merch

Happy new Shiner day to all who celebrate: shinerkc.bandcamp.com/album/believ...

The new James Bond slowly reconstitutes, T-1000 style, to reveal she is now played by Billie Piper. “This never happened to the other 6 fellas” she quips to camera before necking a martini and eating the glass.

Going to a gig tonight where there are four bands

For record distro purposes I am looking for bricks and mortar record shops that are run by psych/sixties heads and stock the odd reissue. Bit of a tough thing to google, so any tips gratefully received! UK and abroad both good.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION CALL: My daughter's starting to ask a lot of questions about what it means to be autistic, so we think she might get something out of a book that explains what autism is in some detail. The problem is that literally all books about this are terrible.

Just £1 will massively help a indie label at a time where grassroots music is suffering more than ever: Plus you can win cool prizes! difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/daam-a... Please share with everyone you know!

Hey hey - I made a mixtape in podcast form for you, it’s full of excellent songs and just-about-adequate ramblings. Check it out:

Non-Canon - Certain Stories (Last Night From Glasgow) #Music #MusicSky #MusicReviews #IndieMusic

“Vinyles”

Also I genuinely think that the "vinyl not vinyls" attitude is harmful. Most people who say "vinyls" are more recent/casual record-buyers. We (musicians, labels, record shops) need people to buy more music, so scolding people for saying something "wrong" is just gatekeeping nonsense.

Using the word "vinyls" in a Facebook post specifically to annoy two of my friends.

My Top 10 TV Comedy is when the tv guide does something like this:

Hello. It’s Sunday night. Only one of these gigs is on a Sunday, the rest are Thursday/Friday/Saturday for maximum afterparty potential*. Join us:

Just watched Beyond The Infinite Two Minutes. Can’t remember who recommended it (maybe someone on @realmsunknown.bsky.social?) but it’s amazing. Loved it.

Getting stuck into @keithcameron2.bsky.social - 168 Songs of Hatred and Failure.

Unexpected moment of existential dread at the end of the Good Choices Badge episode of Hello Duggee. Jfc.

Weather is shit. Cheer yrself up by getting gig tickets: Stockport, Glasgow, Newcastle, York w/ Gaz Brookfield next month. London, Brentwood, Colchester, Brighton, Bristol with various pals in November. Tentatively stepping back into touring post-baby to see how all that goes.

First beer in nearly three weeks. Was tempted to aim for a month off, but meh to that - I’m more likely to overdo it after forcing myself to have too long a break, rather than just enjoying a nice one after a bit of a rest.

@damiencsayell.bsky.social this feels right up your alley, somewhere between Pile and The Paper Chase: open.spotify.com/album/4614NZ...

The fact that this happens during Nick Grimshaw’s “Cloudbusting” section, utterly fucking its entire mission, is unforgivable.

📻 Open Air is back on LWSTD-FM and we want to platform people new to radio! 📻 Do you have an idea for a radio show never been sure how to do it? Whatever you're into we want to hear it! Global majority and historically marginalised voices WILL be prioritised! Deadline is 05/10/2025. Please share!

Just saw Mario turned 40 this week and so, once again, I present to you: the first level of Super Mario but all the sound effects are farts.

It’s 6Music’s #tshirtday - I’m celebrating with one I’ve had since Reading 1999. It’s in this stop-motion lyric video I made in 2014 along with every tshirt I owned at the time. Banger of a song too, if I say so myself: youtu.be/Ag3I5LrJx6k?...

It’s still there! Kinda. Good work little flag 🏳️‍🌈
