Celebrating today by listening to Madonna's American Life rap on repeat. You know I'm satisfied.

Just signed up for @nebula.tv because of @shadowtodd.bsky.social. Any hidden gems I should look out for on there?

I realise this is super corny, but if you like what I do and want to support me in a way that gets you some cheap food in the process, do consider using my Gousto referral link... UK only x

"Replies disabled". Probably wise

New article for In Spite Magazine - the second half documenting Supersonic '26 and my trip to noisy, radical Birmingham, with reviews of Guttersnipe, Bong II, Microplastics, and more… @inspitemagazine.bsky.social @supersonicfest.bsky.social

Watched this instead of England tonight - Japanese cyberpunk, Possession (1981), Evil Dead (1981), and Un Chien Andalou (1929), mixed into something completely fucking demented...

I saw Lou Reed in London about a year before Lulu came out, and although he looked like a corpse, he sounded great. So whatever he's doing here is a choice. A terrible, terrible choice. Top work from @shadowtodd.bsky.social as ever

Just making sure Leake Street knows who I am.

Marjane Satrapi 1969-2026

@apiln.bsky.social Did Steve name this too?

Just booked new year in Reykjavik. All recommendations welcome x

Happy Brian Harvey Day if you’re celebrating.

This is a terrific album. And you can download it for free!

Some long-awaited running news - I've just signed up for the 2027 Edinburgh marathon. Whoops.

Despite the T***p administration's best efforts, I'm still very much feeling the new Boards of Canada album this morning.

Another #buyastrangerabook day offer. @onemanunderground.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a copy of In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing by Kim Noble. Check it out and if you'd like it, get in touch. UK only

Do I know any drummers?

To all those who made the "Look Mum No Points" jokes, I bet you're not laughing now

One of my giggest regrets (sic) is never seeing Beastie Boys live. Thankfully, I've just got a ticket to see Mike D in a tiny venue in Leake Street. Which is nice.

If ever there was a reason to pull my finger out of my arse and start work on the next album, this is it...

Gig alert! Back in Colchester Arts Centre next week, opening for the all-female, all-French free-jazz trio Nout on their first UK tour. Fair warning - I may be trying out new material... 24/5, £10, 7:30 x buff.ly/yeiBLyl

Hello. I've uploaded some of my music to @subvert.fm. With Bandcamp seeming to shift from one billion-dollar owner to another, this seems like a good opportunity for a cooperative-led alternative. Subvert might be it. Prices are currently in US$, but slightly cheaper than BC x buff.ly/zgTlwps

Morning

Having just rewatched the BFI DVD recently, I am cross that I'm going to have to watch The Devils again later this year. But honestly, not that cross.

And that, as they say, is it! The last 1MU radio show. Well, for the time being at least - who knows what will happen in the future... But right now, here's an hour of some old favourites from the hard drive. Some you'll know, some you won't. I hope you enjoy it though x buff.ly/C4VyevJ

I have become everything young me hated - I have joined the gym. This calls for drastic measures.

No you don’t understand the Jeffrey Epstein biopic doesn’t cover the island because the films timeline ends in 2001, 5 years before the first major allegations emerged.

Greetings from Birmingham. On my way to @supersonicfest.bsky.social and possibly to get a tattoo...

Does your band need a theremin player? I'm available x

Five bags of popcorn, no notes

Had to make this after reading that (genuine) quote from Ian Hislop, editor of @privateeyenews.bsky.social

And so the time has come to bid farewell to CAMP Radio, and to my 4-weekly radio show. I'm hoping to go out with a bang though, with some old favourites that I don't think I've played before. No spoilers ahead of time - just head to listen.camp on Monday at 4pm BST... @campradio.bsky.social

Tim Heidecker is running InfoWars with The Onion. The only way this could be better is if "Tim Heidecker" of On Cinema was running InfoWars with The Onion.

I'm not immune. I'm currently queueing for the MC 900 Ft Jesus record...

Very sorry to hear today of the death of comedian and journalist Jo Fletcher-Cross @glitterjo.bsky.social I will have more to say later, but I will say for now that having met and worked with her was a true pleasure. May she rest in peace. x

The Manual: Indie Rock Edition

New article for In Spite Magazine! Supersonic Festival is back in Birmingham, and this year, so am I. Here's my preview of some of the sonic delights I look forward to reporting back on in a few weeks... @inspitemagazine.bsky.social @supersonicfest.bsky.social

Sparks are playing in Southend. What a time to be alive!

Teriffic stuff here - how to write about a 1-second song...

Damn. RIP

A little late, but here it is - the second half of Hard Drive Archaeology, in which I dig through my hard drive to find music I cannot remember hearing before, and my penultimate show for CAMP Radio... www.mixcloud.com/camp_fr/one-... @campradio.bsky.social
