Two mugs bought recently (one smashed, which may not be Matt's fault) - love Gail's designs 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

On finding an old recorder in the shed: a ramshackle rendition of the fiendishly difficult Pease Pudding Hot, complete with Artie Shaw flourish at the end. Still got it.

This is great. Woodchopper’s Ball may be the best record ever made.

RIP Rupie Edwards. Responsible for the most revolutionary dubwise single to ever make the Top 20. Nobody had heard empty space like that before on a chart hit. Completely confused the audience on TOTP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1VC...

I use the phrase "salady bits" quite a lot. I thought it came from Reggie Perrin. Possibly when Jimmy comes round for food. Can anyone confirm? I know we're all busy but...anyway. #saladybits

Late 1950s. There was mutual respect and admiration, even when Humph got a bit Old Etonian/Army Captain.

“I don’t see the benefit of creating events that never happened. Those people who do it should do something else with their life." I love @marklewisohn.bsky.social www.thenewworld.co.uk/jeremy-black...

In the lands of the North, where the Black Rocks stand guard against the cold sea, the Men of the Northlands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale... of a Smallfilms show that gets overlooked a bit. So here's @markauthor.bsky.social on Noggin The Nog. timworthington.org/2025/03/04/t...

Chip Taylor has left us. He had plenty of stories beyond "Wild Thing" (and "Any Way That You Want Me", "Can't Let Go" etc etc.). Great on air in late GLR/early 6music days. RIP.

Hats off to Terry Cox

This is great. A beautiful radio programme about radio. @fallingtreeprod.bsky.social

Some excellent news.

"Garden of Love" playing in the cafe all of a sudden and for about 3mins everything is considerably better.

We should be back around 11 o'clock, unless Mr Sugden is talking about Deep Purple again & misses the turn off, he did on the way here.

24 years of 6music. Flippin' 'eck. 24 years at 6music. Flippin' 'eck.

Favourite Woodstock moments: Bob the Bear giving a cigarette to a stage invader; Richie Havens; "See Me, Feel Me"; Sly and The Family Stone and the late Country Joe singing "Fixin to die". Hats off to him.

RIP Joseph 'Country Joe' McDonald, a towering figure of the West Coast sound. "GIMME AN F"

I was named after "Stephen" by Neil Sedaka; it was on the radio while my dad drove home from the hospital after I was born. But I've always had the softest spot for this overblown monster, a constant presence on my dad's in-car mixtapes back in the day. RIP Neil. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZMD...

Cookie with candles.

The Euston guest pianist just played Lauper's Time After Time. Which is always welcome and far preferable to the herbert who bashes out Smells Like Teen Spirit.

In a couple of months, it'll be the 40th birthday of the C86 cassette. So why not prepare for the occasion by reading the Penderyn Prize-shortlisted, Richard Osman-recommended book on what happened next to the 22 bands on the tape? Available wherever you usually buy your books.

Recommended.

Travel tip: look dishevelled and confused and they let you onto an earlier train. Even works when you don't do this deliberately.

Just seen the sad news that Ebo Taylor died on Saturday at the age of 90. Here’s the Ghanaian highlife and afrobeat legend in concert in 2014 #RIP youtu.be/vBS6UAdFiEc

RIP Fred Smith. The very sad news has just been confirmed

Walked past the park bench dedicated to Delroy Washington today...

Henry IV Part One on “In Our Time” O’Level flashbacks. Can still remember some of Hal’s soliloquy. Also “bull’s pizzle”.
