I had a strange but nice day out. I took a friend who’s really into cars to a charity supercar event that happened to be at my old school (finished 2002), and I bumped into one of my best friends from the time who also lived on the grounds, and also saw his dad who retired but was a teacher.

It's great to say that the newest Boards of Canada album is very, very good.

If the heat wave isn’t keeping me awake it’s the thunder and lightning. Thanks climate.

One terrific performance after another + Jools Holland.

20 years old today and its bittersweet, cinematic perspective of the UK dance music scene is still as hard-hitting as it ever was.

Gamergate never died. It's embarrassing.

The Beach is a crap film, but call it rose-tinted glasses, I'm fond of it. The shimmering images, the pulsating soundtrack (which has remained an all-time favourite for decades since I first saw it), the summery vibes, the late 90s and early 2000s fashion and aesthetics. It's very nostalgic to me.

Happy 100th birthday to David Attenborough, a man who is deservedly universally loved, even by the people who are actively against everything he stands for.

Truly depressing.

Some miracles do happen.

Did I read that right?! The Devils is finally being restored, uncut and in 4K?!

I watched all five episodes of Mr. Scorsese and the whole thing is a fast-paced, warm, nostalgic trip through his life and filmography with a lot of insight, but then the second half of the last episode brought me back to reality with a very frank look at Parkinson's disease and caring full-time.

Blade Runner Stalker Alien Videodrome Akira The Thing Ghost in the Shell The Terminator Tetsuo: The Iron Man Fantastic Planet

Chuck Russell and Frank Darabont's The Blob remake kicks ass.

This rules.

Not bad for a foreign film from 1988. I've already been twice, tempted to go again.

INFERNO. 29 MAY 2026. boardsofcanada.com

I'm here just to say I am also looking forward to the new Boards of Canada album Inferno very much.

New Boards of Canada and new Massive Attack? It’s a 1998 again!

I'll be watching Akira for the first time on the (very very) big screen on Saturday then my second time on a smaller (but still big) screen on Monday. Subbed then dubbed. I'm envious of my friend that I'm going with because he's seeing it for the first time. It'll be my umpteenth.

Mocking Trump's shitty AI post: fine, whatever. Retorting Trump's shitty AI post with more shitty AI: fuck off.

Toshio Matsumoto's Demons from 1971 is an absolute masterpiece. One of the bleakest, most evil, gut-wrenching films I've ever seen. I'm glad it has a small cult following but I can't believe it's still under the general radar. It should be as big as Kwaidan, Onibaba, Harakiri, House, Ugetsu etc.

I posted a tribute to Afrika Bambataa, how much I love Planet Rock and Leftfield's Afrika Shox which is where I first heard him and saw him in the Chris Cunningham music video on a 1999 PlayStation demo disc. Then I searched his name and found out he was accused of child sexual abuse. Fuck's sake.

Awesome looking new edition of @thewiremagazine.bsky.social, looking forward to the new Sunn O)))

I am slowly turning into an annoying hiking guy but I need this for my health. Yesterday I walked about 10 miles in the cold on steep muddy hills and today I feel fine. It's working.

Arco is v. derivative but I enjoyed it. It’s basically Ponyo + Back to the Future + Rene Laloux & Moebius + The Terminator + Terminator 2 + I, Robot + ET + Interstellar + WALL-E + that Futurama episode where Leela carves out a message on the cave walls for Fry in the future. A rip off but done well.

I'm hearing reports that Muslims may have voted in Gorton & Denton. A sad state of affairs, if true, and a sign of the dangerous radical sectarian extremism that Labour politicians, through no fault of their own, must contend with.

Feeling some lonely disappointment because a co-op video game series I've played through entirely with a friend for years has announced a new game but my friend is now too busy having a life getting engaged and doing things in real life instead.

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage. I learned a lot.

Marty Supreme may end up being one of the major awards contenders that has to pick up the scraps while Coogler and PTA sweep everything but I think it may be my favourite film of the last couple of years.

When Mogwai performs Like Herod and Fear Satan live and I’m in the audience, they are the two best songs in the world. Great gig.

A superb interview with Tracey Emin on art, class, Reform, and surviving cancer now & abuse as a teenager www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

My family is bombarding me with shitty ChatGPT images of themselves. I don't know how to deal with this because the problem with criticising anything, no matter how tactfully, is they'll make me a pariah who believes I'm not allowing them to have any fun.

It’s a beauty! @lostincult.co.uk @gaminginthewild.com

I’ve been listening to Beyoncé Whatever floats your boat No, that’s buoyancy 😝

Recently I asked Drew Daniel of Matmos /Soft Pink Truth to consider a question: what good is making music while the world slides inexorably into disaster. In response he wrote an essay for tQ that should be of great interest to anyone creating art in the face of global events. 🔗in🧵...

This song by leftist Phil Ochs from the 60s feels like it perfectly captures the mentality of ICE today. youtu.be/KfM4f91je-0?...

Loving everything about Absolum, Hades 2, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and Planescape Torment. I am eating good with games after a long period of avoiding them.

Béla Tarr, 1955-2026 🤍

Today Americans must wrestle with the question, "Who likely brought more joy to the world: the guy who directed The Princess Bride or the guy who doesn't pay his bills and has definitely raped several women?"

I went to a nature trail with a friend this morning and we were wondering why there was such a huge police presence there, including a drone going over the water. We just found out now that they found the body of a person who had been missing for days there.

11 more months to go until I see Autechre again.

30 years old but Eutow still sounds like it was accidentally sent to us from the future.

Just my annual social media grumblings about how fireworks suck.

My taste in music has two modes and this pair of album covers summarise them well.

This lovely assortment from @delysiumzine.bsky.social just arrived. It's all beautiful. What a great effort by everyone involved.

This is really hitting the spot right now. "Wild Eyes" is particularly immense.
