Important #FacebookNews cheggered off of @whingewhingewine.co.uk. Cock Asian. I give you Cock Asian.

Right... Call Your Girlfriend Make Me Feel Color In Your Cheeks Tears Of A Clown Taillights Fade Superstition I've Been Losing You No Diggity All My Friends If I Was Your Girlfriend ...but of course if I stopped to think about it it would be ten Motown or Prince or tMG or Radiohead tracks.

I've thought all day that my emails have been really quiet for a Bandcamp Friday, and just realised I've got tomorrow off work so it's actually Thursday 🤦🏼‍♂️

Surely if he's behind it two people could sneak around either side of it, catch him and whip his mask off.

We are back for Series 6 with the excellent Nightmares On Wax swinging by to talk about his 30 years in the business, being signed to Warp Records and still buying vinyl. PLUS we talk to DJ Diggs about his DJ collective & club night, Common Ground. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

Jazz Guy Has Little Hat And Everything

For once my Discogs want list email turned up something I wanted to buy. An early Mountain Goats EP on NM vinyl which usually goes for £100+ came up for £35 (inc shipping) and for that price I could handle a G sleeve. Just got a message from the seller saying they just saw the record is broken 😭😭😭

The footy's decent.

Every time I play this I'm reminded that it's probably the best album of the last ten years.

It's taken me over three months to realise that either side of that top part of the Kallax unit is a far better place for my speakers than at the back of the shelf either side of the Denon head unit.

A few days off work with the sun shining has led to fewer things than normal being played this week.

MrsJ said to me earlier "I fancy watching Chernobyl. When did that happen?" and I replied with "Dunno, about forty years ago" 🤯

Blog update: Grebo styled Samplemania hit the top of the NME Indie Charts in May 1987 as Gaye Bykers on Acid sent their unique racket to number one. It led to a deal with Virgin Records, which regrettably went nowhere. indienumber1s.blogspot.com/2026/04/98-g...

Nice Dead Kennedys logo there at the snooker.

Changed my profile banner image.

Brilliantly a former employer, who always seemed to be unable to cope with the fact that there was more than one Matt Jones in the world, have just sent me a brand new, top of the range Macbook Pro 🤷🏼‍♂️

Got a free month of Apple TV. Caught up with Slow Horses, got For All Mankind on the list, how's Pluribus?

Yeah, this scrolling photos bullshit can fuck right off.

It was very strange to hear We Are The World playing in the Asda Express this morning. #popinashop

Made the mistake of searching "Lampard" just now 😬

Ten years ago today, on the day before MrsJ's birthday, she turned to me on the sofa and said "Prince has died" 💜 Here's a video with me in it.

I found a DVD box set of Band of Brothers which I forgot I'd bought, so I've been watching that over the past few nights. I'm now going to have to watch some cat videos on YouTube because episode 9 finished just before bedtime.

Time for this week's round-up. #WhatIPlayedHashtag

Your occasional reminder that there are few better songs to play really loud than Evil Man.

Wasn't going to go to the car boot sale, but The Girl talked me into it and I picked up a few nice bits. #NotACollection

When's Record Store Day? I fancy that Adrianne Lenker LP.

8 years ago, I told a story which changed my life forever. Shortly after, an old pal from college asked if he could turn it into a film. So I am DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE that 'Me, Myself & Mary' is not only finished, but has been chosen to lead the Tribeca Festival's animated shorts roster this year.

As tomorrow sees another Record Store Day I thought I'd reshare this series. Admittedly the series was never about reviewing albums, but a reminder of the connections we make through the music and why, for many of us, the date now feels one worth celebrating x open.substack.com/pub/lippykid...

This film alone is worth setting up a week's free trial of Mubi for.
