Sofa gargoyle

Stopped doing my stupid boring core exercises for a week cos I had a horrible cold and now my back has pinged out in two separate places and I'm moving like an 80 year old and policemen are all so young this new music is just noise why can't you buy proper cardigans anymore leaded petrol was better

Yann Tiersen in Manchester. Brilliantly bonkers set, 45 mins of twinkly angular solo piano straight into another 45 minutes of angry ramshackle analogue techno, wonderful.

Agnes has made a new friend. This greedy little sod has been scoffing all the birdseed we put out for the past few months, and is now probably more tame than this cat

Don't trust anyone over 30

Do nothing for as long as possible

Post-lunch charity shop find: original bonkers version of Mah-na Mah-na, 1977 repress so older than me, bit crunchy but plays ok. B-side is a rather nice bit of instrumental 60s lounge/easy

Had the house to myself all evening so I did some acid

Mysterious noise!

Some bloody idiot has left an unattended ignition source in this highly flammable historic building I don't care if they're possessed by an eldritch horror fire safety applies to everyone jeez

Agnes would like to point out that it's a bit cold actually

The penetrating stare of a complete idiot

Very good of the BBC to excavate and reanimate some actual genuine dinosaur fossils every new year's eve so we don't feel too old watching Jools for the hundredth time... is that too mean? I dunno, maybe, I've had a drink sorry cheers

Apparently I perpetrated over two hours of new music in 2025. Most of it is in this SC playlist, you should bookmark it in case you need to encourage any unwanted guests to leave or annoy your neighbours.

Just about to go to bed and this blasted animal, who hasn't even sat near a human for months, suddenly decides that *now* she absolutely has to go to sleep on my left leg. And I've run out of booze

My parents are hosting Xmas, which apparently means I get to spend £££ on wine for the rest of the family, *and* Xmas eve moving all their furniture around.

Try to live your life in such a way that a mob of puppets don't sing to you about how much of an arsehole you are while you're on your way to work

The Wedding Present at our local venue earlier, actually proper bloody ace, no messing about. @kittydorkling.bsky.social accidentally heckled David Gedge at one point, which will be an entertaining footnote to add to my memoirs.

Props to Juno (online record shop): sent me the wrong version of a 3x12" LP, oops, but replied to my query within 24h, shipped replacement straight off next day delivery, and let me keep the incorrect item. Good customer service isn't totally extinct yet, apparently.

Local charity shop acid result! Lurking behind all the Chris De Burgh albums I just found this '94 Plastikman remix of X-Press 2 for three quid, in ok nick. This is Musik era stuff, and unsurprisingly it sounds ace.

Quality crunchy bleeps from @5d3m.bsky.social for this evening's soundtrack

Sabres Of Paradise. Pretty damn good.

You've just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you. PLAY SAFE KIDS

Right! Two new liquid instrumental drum and bass tracks by me out now, links to all the streamers and stores as they update here: tr.ee/UywQ8lC4j-

Old DJ shouts at cloud: colored vinyl is annoying, it makes it harder to mix because you can't see what the groove is up to. Transparent is even worse because the flip shows through making it even harder to see what's going on. Also it's more expensive. Plain black options please, labels

Jimmy Cliff always reminds me of building my first DIY music PC, because I had him on repeat as I figured out how to stick all the bits together. First thing I did to test the soundcard was loop a bit of him over a break. A unique voice. RIP. youtu.be/EFPCN0yuuzs?...

Got to be this one for me I think. Top notch bass. RIP Mani. youtu.be/NSD11dnphg0?...

Just spent an hour or so in the room with the proper open fire in the pub and now my beard smells fucking amazing omg

Massive shout out to whoever gave me this stinking cold, nice one *cof* *cof* *sniffle* *HOONK* *cof* bastard

Fugitive apprehended

Finally unpacking my old CDs after about 15 years in storage. Very glad I didn't bin them all like they told us to

Horror Stories for After Halloween

Finally got to see* Autechre live last night. Went right down the front, nodded my head next to some very advanced ravers determinedly bopping along for the whole gig. 1.5 hours of unbroken mayhem, absolutely amazing. *sort of, AE gigs are totally dark

If they put an algorithm on the TL on this site I will give up on social media. I want to see posts from people I follow, when they post them. That is it. In years to come, when social media is dead, they will blame it's demise on deviating from this very simple formula

Working on some stems that a talented jazz keyboard player friend has sent me, they're really good, but the timing is very, er, natural, and suddenly I understand why Logic has all this tempo analysis and flex-time stuff in it. You can just fix slightly wonky bits like magic, amazing

Just back from a nice afternoon of pylon hunting. This one was having a little lie down.

That's my xmas present sorted @kittydorkling.bsky.social

New toy. Let's make some acid

30 years old and still stunning. This record rewired my brain when it came out. Finally sprang for the 3x12", slightly crackly but sounds so good

Igorrr just knocked my socks clean off. Operatic breakcore metal, I think? Absolutely bloody amazing whatever they are

It’s crazy that we invented the internet and then it completely tore us apart. Like imagine if we invented the mass produced assembly line automobile and then it caused 40,000 deaths per wait

really we should get rid of the idea that a band’s entire discography should be on streaming services. maybe the singles? “if you like this, here’s a link to the album, which will cost you £10” you know, like how you’d hear something on the radio and think “i liked that, i’ll buy it”

Absolutely loving these two new tunes from @mintimperial.com Some lovely, laid back dnb. open.spotify.com/album/3jB0ZC...

Just totally normal music production stuff going on officer nothing to see here yep all fine cheers

The last time I put out some tunes the label used AI for the artwork, which I was not wild about. This time I made sure, as with my music, that nobody was stolen from for the graphics either. The image here is a photo I took in Berlin in 2008, I think it fits the vibe of the title track.

I have new music out! Jazzy/liquid DnB, go to mintimperial.com top post links to streamers as they update. Because of the mad way low-level music promo works I would *really* appreciate people sticking ❤️s & 🔥 comments on the IG posts: www.instagram.com/themintimper... (DJs/mates HMU for WAVs.)

Day off vinyl haul results, it's a good job my nearest record shops are miles away or I'd be permanently skint

To all the influx of new blue sky users: you won't read this because you're not following me, I'm not on any welcome pack lists, all of my followers are pure of heart and mind, stay blessed 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Post you from a different era 1999
