I was going to plug yesterday's @campradio.bsky.social show, but then I realised it's Trans Visibility Day. So here's a show from last year on that thought x 🏳️‍⚧️

This afternoon at 4pm BST, listen to CAMP Radio for some more "hard drive archaeology." It's a bit like Time Team, but instead of Roman walls, it's French outsider music and Japanese grindcore listen.camp @campradio.bsky.social

What ITV fails to mention in this pretty heartbreaking story is that Mark is none other than Z from Zodiac Mindwarp. Horrible business all round.

Oh dear. I've only had a UHD blu ray player for a week, and my wallet is already crying at all the films I've bought. In my defense, I needed to upgrade my DVD copy of Pi. (Pictured: me staring at my bank statement.)

I didn't watch Comic Relief last night. But if I did, I'd undoubtedly be complaining that it's not as funny as this. (Uploaded by A Chauffeur, aka @realpaulputner.bsky.social)

All I know about Kyle and Jackie O, I know from the first third of this video.

Sorry I won't be plugging anything for a fortnight. I'll be in Thailand, waking up to this view:

It's Bandcamp Friday innit. If you'd like to provide me some spending money for the holiday upon which I'm about to embark, you know what to do... x onemanunderground.bandcamp.com/album/person...

Listen again: One Man Underground / 02nd March 2026 Playing tracks by Alain De Filippis, Brain Tentacles, CHXFX, danibal, Electric Fire and more. @onemanunderground.bsky.social | www.mixcloud.com/camp_fr/one-...

Folks, my exciting new concept in crawling to the finish line - Hard Drive Archaeology. Here's the first half, which went out yesterday on CAMP Radio; part 2, my penultimate show for the station, is in 4 weeks... x @campradio.bsky.social

an incredible distraction from present panic is historical panic! in sheep no less

Radio show today! Today, it's "Hard Drive Archaeology". Nothing to do with that poor sod who lost his bitcoin in a landfill (pictured), this is me scouring my hard drives for music I have no recollection of ever hearing before... Listen from 4pm GMT on listen.camp x @campradio.bsky.social

New article for In Spite Magazine! This month, I take a look at extreme Japanese tap dancing, virtual reality empathy, and a “punk bonanza” with Alternative TV… @inspitemagazine.bsky.social

A nuanced take on a ghastly situation from someone who knows what they're talking about.

'Roots' by Sepultura turns 30 today. Made this to celebrate.

Of all the years he could have done Eurovision, he had to pick this one... 🇵🇸

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 🏳️‍⚧️
