Imagine rory stewart was yer da

Been waiting for this one for ages. Found the part about "the bouncer noise" communicating something very specific without clear words especially interesting. Would say the Scottish/UK version sounds something more akin to "can you make your way to door please" but sounds very similar

I will be absolutely astounded if anyone gets this unhinged level of music/tik tok niche (shit) joke

I quite often miss the glory days of pandemic twitter when I used to ramble about basic income and also posted dumb music memes but need to grow up and accept those days are over and start writing boring substacks which no one will read and ultimately won't progress my career or make me happy

I know I have some Basic Income Followers and all I ever post are sporadic album collages but I'm going to attempt to start writing/posting a bit more about Basic Income... I've started writing the monthly gossip section for Basic Income Network Scotland (News & Updates) cbin.scot/2025/11/13/n...

Somewhat chaotic week for tunes

music n' that from the last week

Gradually coming to accept that Stars of the Lid could be the goat - their music genuinely makes me feel emotions I'm not sure are possible to express through language. RIP Brian. Reckon that new Joanne Robertson is gonna be my go-to sad boi autumn album. Two tracks already out are fantastic.

Took me a while to put my finger on what it reminded me of but the bass line on the new tame impala tune sounds like it's taken straight from an early Pantha du Prince record

Feel like could do with a new The Field album round about now

Great little dessert island political organising literature @medicinered.bsky.social Funny how Corbyn era 1.0 was "JC, no surrender, 4 day week and a 3 day bender " and now it's "JC, no surrender, stop enabling a literal genocide". Not that the stakes weren't high before but...

"statutory guidance for governing bodies" - you don't say. Actual government department using the dodgy as fuck supreme court ruling to carte blanche undermine trans rights further with no evidential basis. Denying something exists in sex ed has always gone so well in the past eh?

Albums from the last week. Check out Duncan Gray's back-catalogue if you fancy some low bpm chuggy/mutant disco type stuff. Sound of the summer. The tracks 'Proper Bogan' and 'The Weak Nuclear Force' particular highlights for moi

albums from the last week that Kettel EP is real nice old FaltyDL and John Talabot absolute classics instrumental in forming my music taste

matt healys "no politics just vibes" spiel coked off his nut last night was one of the most embarrassing things I've ever witnessed in my life. Imagine being at the pyramid stage at Glastonbury and not hearing a single cheer

That Lauer album really is a modern classic for me. Been a while since listened to all the remixes which are also great. Still a bit obsessed with that king creosote album for my sins.

top albums last 7 days

As one-shot joke ultradork t-shirts go, it's pretty good

Music from the last week. Lots of stuff I find myself returning to a lot and some new finds. Reckon Shlomo - Bad Vibes could be cementing itself as up there with my all time faves.

Calling Out of Context

haven't posted the weekly albums in a while - been some absolutely cracking new music this year

top albums from the last week and also from a couple of weeks ago I forgot to post...

weekly music round up: Been listening to a ridiculous amount of musicforswimmingpools.co.uk/ - Pete Herbert an absolute fav of mine for the cosmic/boogie/balearic

y'all clocked the white lotus theme same sample as the vocals in Burial's Endorphin

choons from this week...

jack rollo

lovely insert from the Huerco S. record For Those of You Who Have Never...

Top albums from the last week. Really been enjoying me some King Creosote, only ever listened to Diamond Mine before. Haven't listened to There is Love in You all the way through in too long - really is one of his best.

wait it's all apple? always has been

Been listening to a lot of radio so don't have enough albums for the weekly post but been listening to a lot of this Headache album. Operates in a nice space between meaning and absurdity plzmakeitruins.bandcamp.com/album/the-he...

Listening to the 2010s day on 6 Music and Jamz Supernova played Azelia Banks - 212 straight into Jacques Greene - Another Girl. Good to know there are still knowers who know

Albums from the last week. Goth/ethereal/shoegaze/noise January still going strong. That Eating The Sea album is fantastic. That Boys Noize album will always creep in occasionally was such a formative electronic album for me. Lovely week for the auld tunes.

Albums listened to this week. Very shoegaze/noise January vibes with the exception of that Todd Terje and the Olsen's which has crept in there lol

Top albums from this last week. Absolutely slept on that Clarissa Connelly album last year. Shaping up to be a big Clarissa Connelly/Ora Cogan January. Suntub also further cementing itself as one of the best albums of the roaring 20s with each successive listen

Gig/Club highlights of the year: ML Buch and Astrid Sonne @ Flying Duck Erol Alkan nights @ Berkeley Suite Slowdive @ Barrowlands Hot Towel Nights at McNeills and The Ivory Richard Sen @ McChuills Futureboogie Boat Party @ Love International Waterworks Godspeed You Black Emperor @ Barrowlands

Albums of the Year: Bullion - Affection Midland - Fragments of Us Clairo - Charm RIP Swirl - Perfectly Blue The Cure - Songs of a Lost World Jack J - Blue Desert Mr Beatnick - île Flottante Loidis - One Day Astrid Sonne - Great Doubt

most listened albums this year, very enjoyable year for the old ear sounds have to say, would recommend.

this is bloody sensational bambounouofficial.bandcamp.com/track/dub-af...

top albums from the last week Leif album is bloody gorgeous. excited to tuck into more of the Transa compilation - Sam Smith covering Beverly Glenn-Copeland, why not eh

still very much at the 'dipping my toe' stage of Substack but really been enjoying these reading guides on Health Communism by @reallandsend.bsky.social Anyone got any good filthy lefty reading recs? Also wondering when xenogothic is going to return open.substack.com/pub/blindarc...

With the UK Parliament reportedly considering a longer-term ban on puberty blockers, here is the evidence against the ban I provided to the UK Government and Commission on Human Medicines. I have no doubt that Parliament will ignore that evidence today. But this is a long fight we intend to win.

UK Labour confirms its status as the most overtly anti-trans Government in our history, and Wes Streeting as the standard bearer for that transphobia. This approach was condemned by the Council of Europe just last week, but Streeting's "experts" know better. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

top choon from the last 7 days re-running through some of the faves from the year to get the old end of year lists firmly drafted in the notes Bullion gotta be album of the year though nothings going to dethrone that in the next few weeks

posting this every Friday until the audio works

forgot about mbv tickets fuuuuu-

Fair play Glasgow, this morning is some of the weather-est weather I have weathered in my 10 plus years here

this was an incredibly bullshit email to receive, can't believe they had to nerve to include the stats from a consultation of staff and students saying well over 80% were in favour of divestment and just straight up said they went against it because dat defence sector dollar - pish.

Tried to post this video several times but the audio doesn't work. Will continue to post it every Friday until it does. You'll just have to lip read in the meantime I guess

perhaps I can bolster some bluesky clout by revealing that this twitter account was in fact me *pause for gasps of shock* new repostable friday video coming later today keep your ears to the ground folks

this was a class set on the night of my 30th birthday party - normally not that fussed about club recordings but cool that this is immortalised on.soundcloud.com/bvuLQ
