"A"

I once found Louisiana Hot Sauce stocked at our local B&M and was inspired to record this in its praise. I have never found it there subsequently... harpeauxedwards.bandcamp.com/track/louisi...

At Stereolab. Excited!

It's Fat Tuesday, people! Laissez les bon temps roulez. To celebrate, here's my Cajun-Welsh alter-ego, Harpeaux Edwards with some Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya! harpeauxedwards.bandcamp.com/track/gris-g...

Great picture from the gig last weekend. Oil projection in full force.

Dydd Mwsig Cymru heddu! Dyma gân ambwti cigfrain yn bwyta rhywun. Joiwch! lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/track/y-ddwy...

Listen to the Strange Captain... lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/album/strang...

Progress! More surgery - the curved bows have been removed and replaced with something more accurate. The bottom of the hull is on, and a reinforced 'beak' has been added ready for the ram. Again, far more accurate than the kit's wimpy affair. #histscalemodels #trireme πάρε το!

Just remember kids, Light Vessel Automatic are playing the Star of the Sea, Borth, Friday 13 Feb. I guarantee that, as below, it will feature an apalling kaftan and psychedelic oil projections, but not a massive pirate flag....

Initial surgery is complete. The patient is doing well! #histscalemodels #trireme

And so it begins - radical surgery is required in the first instance.... #histscalemodels #trireme

Just found my new favourite YouTube channel - called keeping-a-lighthouse. It's a bloke who works on a Trinity House team going out to lighthouses to do maintenance work. He gives you a tour of the lighthouse and the accomodation, etc. It's brilliant.

I see R4 are leading with people protesting about ICE at the Grammys are part of the culture war, rather than protesting the US regime using quasi-military street thugs against its own populace.

This is who runs this account

Finally completed the wolfhound (sculpted over a smooth, slightly out of scale greyhound!) @drtobydriver.bsky.social - I'm calling it done. #histscalemodels #ironage

Perhaps you'd like to undertake a deep psychedelic modal journey to ancient Babylon? lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/track/ishsta...

Well, this is groovy. youtu.be/_TMm-GWESGA?...

The BBC in 1938: "People are saying that the attacks on Jewish people and businesses in Germany, being dubbed 'Kristallnacht', is completely unacceptable. However, there is another side. Some say that the victims are infact domestic terrorists. We talk to an local Gauleiter to hear their opinion."

Do you like ravens? Do you like psychedelia? Do you like free translations of ancient Scots ballads? Then Y Ddwy Gigfran might be for you..... lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/track/y-ddwy...

After having my solo stuff online for ages, whilst developing the project as a full band, we've finally got an EP recorded by the band out. Check out the Psychedelic sounds of 'Strange Captain'.... lightvesselautomatic1.bandcamp.com/album/strang...

Imagine if you took DMT at the same time and they started fighting with the machine elves...

There was no lack of generous compañeros who wished to defend me, and the Havana Bar Association appointed a competent jurist, Dr Jorge Pagliery, dean of the bar in this city, to represent me in this case.

I think we've reached peak Bluesky, lads.

Road tested the lights for our next gig the other night. It's going to be... psychedelic.

Oh, Christ Almighty! Please God, no!

Share what you consider to be a goddess tier album.

This is ace!

I don't know about you, but I think that Lindt Chocolateer's a bit full of himself.

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist.

Have a look at this! @strongmisgiving.bsky.social

So, Newsnight leading with the murder of Renee Good as part of the "culture war". What a bunch of cunts.

Now, we all know that Facebook is frequented by some of the thickest people in the known universe, but sometimes they display a level of ignorance so breathtaking that it's almost sublime. I like to collect these, and this is my favourite:

First Light Vessel Automatic gig of the New Year! We're playing at Star of the Sea, Borth, 13/2/2026 Great dedicated, community owned venue in a converted chapel. Tickets here: staroftheseaborth.org

More snow!

I appear to have woken up in Narnia.

Hippy Birthday Country Joe McDonald! youtu.be/YDhLYJMPlYg?...

Just watching a Dad's Army featuring the great Talfryn Thomas as Mr Cheeseman. Had a look at his biography - WWII rear gunner on a Lancaster bomber, flew miltiple raids over Germany and survived a crash in which all crew apart from him were killed. Took up acting partly as therapy. Those old guys...

I've just seen an advert for something called 'Alex James' Britpop Classical' and it's made me cringe out my own spleen.

Nadolig llawen, mofos! You are now allowed to get on the Bucks Fizz. You'll be pleased to know that I'm only a year older but actually loads wiser.

Just been to the village pub for a couple of Butty Bachs. Come back home for fishfingers and chips before a potential return. #cristmasevegoals

Radio 4 happily alowing a Trump propogandist to broadcast complete bullshit without a hint of challenge this morning. Utterly spinless.

Well, the Druids of Ynys Môn did their job well at the Soltice celebrations yesterday in propitating the rebirth of the Sun. Glorious sunrise here this morning. Hail the Sun! Incidentaly, we camped in the van by a little cove next to some Bronze Age Hut Circles.

Dathlu Heuldro Gaeaf, Bryn Celli Du, Ynys Môn Winter Solstice shenanigans celebrating the death and rebirth of the Sun. Hail the Sun! @strongmisgiving.bsky.social

Well, that's a lovely bit of cliched racism by Mark Steel on Radio 4.

Gone 15 years today, never forgotten, Captain Beefheart. open.spotify.com/track/7ughGz...

Recent Slim Harpo discourse has reminded me of the time my Cajun/Welsh alter ego Harpeaux Edwards recorded this, entirely new and in no way derivative, tribute to the great man. @kirkdalebooks.bsky.social harpeauxedwards.bandcamp.com/track/all-ne...

Had a weird dream last night. I was in Cardiff - a local newspaper was running a front page story about Roger McGuinn. Due to the recent resurgence in the global popularity of the Byrds, Roger McGuinn would be busking in Cardiff as a tie in. We scoffed - he's always busking there anyway!
