New show! This time, I'm looking back on the last 7 years of radio shows, and picking some songs from my favourite albums of the run. You'll probably know a lot of these, but hey ho... buff.ly/WOBnp3H @campradio.bsky.social

Just heard about the death of John Virgo. It's no exaggeration to say that he represents a major part of my childhood, in no small part thanks to VHS tapes like this, and I was thrilled to be able to see him commentate on Snooker Legends in Colchester a few years ago. RIP.

Radio! Tomorrow! 4pm GMT! Still looking backwards, this time to some of my favourite albums from the entire run of 1MU, including my time co-hosting Culture As A Dare... listen.camp x @campradio.bsky.social

The new Beck release today reminded me that I've not watched Eternal Sunshine for years. Popped it on tonight. Still breaks my heart.

I've been a fan of @trupatrupa.bsky.social for many years now. Reading what @g-kwiatkowski.bsky.social has been doing outside the band is fascinating and vital...

New article! In what might be my first regular column for In Spite, I contemplate Japanese devotional blues punk, Satanic esoterica, the inner voice of a deranged thespian, and more… @inspitemagazine.bsky.social @kasumuen.bsky.social @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social

A year since David Lynch died. Here's how I paid tribute: onemanunderground.bandcamp.com/track/in-hea...

I've just come out of Bulk, the new Ben Wheatley film, at @thenickelcinema.bsky.social (my new favourite cinema, btw). My head has been on a Jodorowskian journey into low budget meta-dom, and I may never reach the destination.

Resharing this for no other reason than I think the photos are quite good x

I am proud to have a Vagina Museum magnet adorning my fridge x

If anyone can offer me a show in Newcastle or Gateshead on 19, 20 or 21 January, get in touch asap x

The first show of 2026 for CAMP Radio is now online, featuring songs from my 10 favourite albums of 2025. Some you may have seen on other end-of-year lists, others I guarantee you won't... x @campradio.bsky.social

NOW

Radio! 4pm! listen.camp x @campradio.bsky.social

I mean how on-the-nose can you get

New article for In Spite! For real this time. Two months ago, I was so enraptured by Franco-Australian gamelan group Ensemble Nist-Nah at Café Oto, I had to write... @inspitemagazine.bsky.social @cafeotodalston.bsky.social

New article! Sort of. I contributed a list of 10 of my favourite shows from 2025 to In Spite Magazine, one of which was My Bloody Valentine at Wembley. There's an 11th, but I've written that up separately, for later publication... buff.ly/Nt9V2pR @inspitemagazine.bsky.social

I've got 5 shows left for @campradio.bsky.social, and I've just finished recording the first 4 of them. Happy new year!

Today I learned that Ade Edmondson did a NatWest ad in the 80's, in character as Vyvian...

As the end of the year approaches, I think it's the right moment to call time on the 'Persons Underground' album cycle, 18 months after its launch... This post is split into 2, and this is the 2nd half, 'The Shows'...

As the end of the year approaches, I think it's the right moment to call time on the 'Persons Underground' album cycle, 18 months after its launch... I will split this post into 2, starting with 'The Album'. Alt text is available in the 2nd pic.

YASSSSSS! I've finally won Whamageddon. May I never have to play it again. Let's enjoy the shit out of this now...

But seriously, merry Christmas Blue-viehouse

The return of the clip reconstitutor...

The best part of making stuff, besides having others enjoy it, is experiencing your work improve as you learn your craft. "This thing's so much better than last year's things. I can't wait to see what next year's things are like!" AI nobbers are robbing themselves of this joy.

Today marks the first time my partner has entered Whamhalla before me. I hope she's keeping my seat warm.

It's the not-very-Christmassy-Christmas show for CAMP Radio, with a bold announcement - I'm retiring the show next year. Until then, I still have plenty of music to share with you, including this hour of goodies... buff.ly/BDEkjab @campradio.bsky.social

20 minutes x

Yes folks, it's the time of year when I draw some red and white on my photo and blatantly disregard the time of year again! 1MU is on CAMP Radio at 4pm GMT today... listen.camp x @campradio.bsky.social

I was lucky enough to host @loulayorke.bsky.social at a live show a couple of years ago, a few years after we shared a stage with @jarviscocker.bsky.social in Toxteth. Today, a huge chunk of her catalogue is available for less than 6 quid. Get on it...

I rarely repost old radio shows, but given that news for trans people seems to get worse by the day, I wanted to show a little solidarity. Much love 🏳️‍⚧️

Once again, I totally forgot to post about the last radio show... Sorry! Here it is though, still mostly fresh. It could probably do with an airing, to be fair x @campradio.bsky.social buff.ly/A1NPqcC

Today I met my idol. Nice chap.

About 8000 years ago, I "specialised" in mashups. I thought I'd put that era to bed. But I've just had the most stupid idea I think I've ever had, I've just demoed it, and it's absolutely glorious. I may have to make a video to go with it.

Just found out about Peter Watkins, having only just watched Privilege for the first time. For that, Culloden, and most of all The War Game, he should be remembered.

I'm going to record a Christmas song. Would anyone like to release it digitally? Leave me a comment or DM me. I'll try to make it better than this.

Anyone want to buy my copy of Things To Make And Do?

It's A Royal Kick-out

I've just finished reading 'Jesus Christ Kinski' in one sitting (last time I did that was 'I'm Thinking Of Ending Things'). An instant cult classic, and one of the best books of the year. Makes me want to track down the DVD of the original 1971 performance. Here's the author, explaining himself x

Kudos to the projectionist at @princecharlescinema.com yesterday afternoon, who managed to fix the print of Onibaba in record time, which split with literally one minute to go. And if you've seen Onibaba, you'll know how crucial that last minute is...

One of my favourite compilations is online for the first time in forever, compiled by @granpaabela.bsky.social and Swerve for Dual Plover down under, including a batshit cover of Gloomy Sunday by Al Duvall and Singing Sadie...

Gig alert! As a fringe event to The KLF's annual day of death among the Wirral, I will be taking the theremin to Static Gallery in Liverpool on Saturday 22nd November. Tickets are very cheap, very limited, and very available from the link below. Doors 6pm; I'm on early! x @theklfrs.bsky.social

What the Warp CD misses is the uninterrupted stretches of music that turn it from being "just" a sketch show into something far more off-kilter. That said, this article still makes for a strong retrospective. And to those paying attention: without Blue Jam, there would be no 'Persons Underground'. x

Why did my @klingklangband.bsky.social album arrive over 4 weeks early? No idea, but I'm delighted about it. That's this evening's listening sorted.

Pure joy in Hackney tonight with Beverly Glenn-Copeland. Cannot wait for his @campfr.bsky.social workshop in February...

This month's show for CAMP Radio is online! Hope you enjoy it x onemanunderground.co.uk/radio-13-oct... @campradio.bsky.social

Apparently I've just turned binge-watching-Rising-Damp years old

Back on CAMP Radio at 4pm BST today... x @campradio.bsky.social

Haven't read a good hatchet job in a while. Now I have. Top marks.
