This is going to be awesome, and did we mention it's FREE? Evening performances (and Sunday's family workshop) open to all!

This'll be fun, and if it isn't, you can come heckle me on the correct pronunciation of Tago Mago, or something...

Slightly diminish a book Spanner of the Gods

Not to get too LinkedIn on here, but I have some spare freelance capacity this autumn so DM me if you're looking to hire a music writer, copywriter (certified actual human), editor, comms person or ultra-nerdy proofreader. Newsletters, festival brochures, hacking down words to fit, whatever!

Just added 12 paintings to my Big Cartel- jakeblanchard.bigcartel.com £40-£60 each. I’ve been unable to work the last few weeks due to a wrist injury and my usual chronic pain situation so any support is greatly appreciated! #paintings #artwork #acrylic #psychedelic #nature #illustration #posca

Oh! New Wire arrived while I was on holiday. There’s a fantastic @abibliss.bsky.social interview with the two remaining Cabs unknotting much of their history plus I was psyched to talk to members of Black Audio Film Collective about their industrial relations

Dream interview chatting to Cabaret Voltaire and looking forward to reading all the other essays on them too!

Nice day to walk 369 steps up the world's (allegedly) tallest folly, the 'Tower of Spite' product of some impressively expensive Victorian landowner beef: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wainhou... Thanks to Visit Calderdale volunteers for opening it all up!

I'm playing in this tomorrow but don't let that put you off!

Really enjoyed talking to Crystabel Efemena Riley for this about the spaces we find, make and lose, and the shared languages of free improvisation and makeup:

TOMORROW! Our @oramawards.bsky.social X YSWN event at Gut Level in Sheffield with @loubarnell.bsky.social performing her live dreamscape GINKO, tape loops from Helen Papaioannou, modular synth from @artistschild.bsky.social and ethereal alt-pop from Cherry Seraph. Tickets: ra.co/events/2155976 🧵1/2

Would very much recommend a digital subscription if you don't have a creaking loft like me. 40+ years' worth of searchable issues and your roof beams will remain intact...

Looking forward to chatting with @elizabethalker.bsky.social about her new book and all things music when this comes around!

Post a photo of yourself from a different era: 1) Home painted Op Art and a black velvet Desiderata poster (top right)... it's June 1980, but still 1973 somehow. 2) Chesil Beach, later in summer 1980, jacket handed down from sometime in the '70s.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see
