Xenomorph nightmares again.

Rainy days are spent hiding from the offspring.

Need some moving image recommendations for late Friday evening viewing. I like noir, mystery, fantasy, sci fi, weirdo art movies. Hate comedies or super heroes.

huh, didn't know this existed. whin (me and @mjohnhenry.bsky.social) live at cumbernauld arts a few years ago doing In a Field off Dawn Firth. video by @manicpopthrlls.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtFx...

You know those folk who when the sun comes out put on their sun glasses? Next level organisational skills.

Can't shake this bad feeling this week. You know what I mean? Like just a wee bit of grey doom in your veins but not enough to incapacitate you.

Seems weird that The Scottish Album of the Year isn't on the SAY award long list. jewelscheme.bandcamp.com/album/jewel-...

RIP Danny Thompson, who made a lot of great music and who I first encountered as part of this great band with Richard Thompson at the Royal Concert Hall in 1999. They made a racket but you never struggled to hear what any of the players were doing in the moment.

my goodness what a life, and what a player.

6yo, lifting his glass of juice: "Cheers to nobody!"

Whenever a sound tech tapes an L into my amp I stick it to their back when I'm thanking them at load out.

Trump et al are now just picking popular products and asking how can we use the tools we have to redirect this revenue into our pockets.

Love this, @mogwai.scot destroying the gear rundown format forever www.instagram.com/reel/DO0lD6A...

Not reading books causes people to say paracetamol causes autism 🙃

Bought OTD in 1972: a very big album for me - a guitar symphony topped by Ron Elliot’s tricksy, hypnotic songs and Sal Valentino’emotional vocals. Plays well all the way through but stand outs are Turn Around, Deep Water, Little Bird, I’m A Sleeper and the infinite strings of Cherokee Girl

It's Autumn already and if you haven't already, I recommend getting my new album in your ears for the waning of the year.

also a big influence on Lwb -- people probably think some of the odd time signatures and stop-start stuff came from math rock or whatever, but it was mostly from the gobs

I met @robertdallasgray.com around the time of making our first single c.2002 and he put me on to The Go-Betweens. Became a huge influence on my songwriting for the first De Rosa album. Cheers Robert x themusic.com.au/features/the...

It's f-f-f-frosty here.

De Rosa was a band I was in with Neil Woodside, James Woodside, Chris Connick and Andy Bush. We released 3 studio albums to some critical praise but we were very commercially unsuccessful. Apologies to any financial stakeholders involved. It's over now. X

One of the first, maybe the first De Rosa gig. 2001.

desperately sad. safe travels twitch.

A great sadness that JD Twitch has passed away. Thinking about his loved ones. X

They'd got to be a state between orangutan and human that takes the best of both and populates the stars.

Maybe it's just a fact that a couple of times a century we need to kick the white facists arses.

This new thing I just sent to @robertdallasgray_music for new Whin music. Whin is our duo project. whin.bandcamp.com

Hey USA how you gonna un-facism your country?

Now playing #LetsGetWorse #DesertHearts

I don't think I've ever been happier than when The Ivy House in Sunderland was our local and they used to have a roulette on Fridays where you hit a button and could win your round free. Won it a few times. Like heaven. Beautiful nights.

Fuck me. Alien Earth ep7 was amazing.

"It’s terrific to see such a career spanning set from Martin" - Manic Pop Thrills Review of the recent Glad Cafe show, Thanks MPT x manicpopthrills.wordpress.com/2025/09/16/l...

New on the blog: (in latest instalment of last month's gigs today!) @mjohnhenry.bsky.social live at the Glad Café - with bonus live video. manicpopthrills.wordpress.com/2025/09/16/l...

Just wetransferred my new album to get mastered. AI music just got incrementally sadder.

Absolutely noticed this and it bothered me as well lol

The next cassette is now available in my bespoke improvisations project. One-off works performed direct to a master tape. Order here... mjohnhenry.bandcamp.com/merch/baby-b...

See the David lynch compound is for sale. That should be a museum!

great record, impossible to find any digital. someone should stick it on youtube or something 🤔

disclaimer I sort of helped ‘produce’ it, which was really just saying LOUDER a lot and persuading andy miller to let the drums go into the red on tape

The great lost classic Let's Get Worse by Desert Hearts. I had the best few months being their touring guitarist in 2007. Here we are, on fire I must say. youtu.be/S-DwFHLyIfA?...

Even the fucking ewiks had a party when someone evil died.

Happy 90th Birthday to the wonderful Arvo Pärt🥳
