Compulsory family holiday: survived. Bits of it were quite good, e.g. this nifty lighthouse thing. Also saw some cool birds. Credit card has sustained major damage though, how the hell do people manage to go on multiple fancy holidays a year?

My study of acid house and prime numbers is coming out on the lovely @wormholeworld.bsky.social in a couple of months. I'm starting to get a bit excited about this.

The opposite of Wireless Festival is Leeds Festival.

If you see this, post a concert photo you took. (Autechre, Leeds November 2025)

Getting in nice and early this week with some 12" #weekendsingles

It's about cows! www.youtube.com/watch?v=irAj...

Cheap eBay tape deck described as "spares or repair" actually works out of the box! From the listing was expecting to have to take it to bits but it's doing all its things. Clicky buttons! Teeny incandescent lights! VU meters! Now I need to figure out where all five of my remaining tapes are...

Hard life innit

HAPPY 303 DAY Free download / today only / deleted tomorrow posthuman.bandcamp.com/album/303-da...

Mogwai, earlier. quiet quiet quiet quiet quiet LOUD LOUD LOUD

Derp thorts

Checked the garden storage box on the off chance and discovered BC Friday records I thought had gone missing. Postie didn't put a card through the door so probably been there a week or more. At least they didn't put them in the green bin like they usually do, was bin day today :/

Overshadowed as he is by his iconic drummer, I don’t think Dr. Teeth gets enough credit as one of rock’s best band leaders.

Minding my own business browsing second hand vinyl and a random lady started asking me questions about the 70s funk section we were stood next to, clearly I already look like I run a record shop, should probably just quit my job and open one

Post a banger that isn't in English. youtu.be/1enSUZ-A-HM?...

Changed into scruffs to do some chores, came back to find my trousers have been annexed, not even that cold today, bloody cats

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

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

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
