His brilliant work is stocked in small numbers in Carshalton’s finest record shops: @logofiasco.bsky.social and @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social if you happen to be passing this part of south London. Or come to the art/music/film festival starting next weekend: www.carshaltonfestival.com

In case you were unaware, the wonderful @heykidsshop.bsky.social (Sean) is getting married this week coming. Hurrah. All the best to him and Mel (wife-to-be). But it does mean his shop will close for a bit. So buy now: www.etsy.com/uk/shop/HeyK...

Go and get your MES garlands from @heykidsshop.bsky.social , as seen at the recent Fall Festival. I’m currently using a stray MES as a bookmark…

Found some magic at the excellent @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social - a magnificent record that I've been after for ages.

I got my @heykidsshop.bsky.social Mark E Smith garland from @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social yesterday! Next… where to hang it?

I hope this doesn't sound patronising but go and see art. The Hockney talk has reminded me again that seeing art in the flesh is a very different experience to seeing it on a screen. You understand why people cry in art galleries. It's not just the gift shop prices.

🤩 @heykidsshop.bsky.social

Hey folks! Our great mate and LFTM squad member, the super talented @heykidsshop.bsky.social has done it again with this wonderful Mark E Smith garland! We have a handful in the shop so don’t miss out! The racks are full of incredible music & we open from midday to 7pm…So come on over!! 🚀💥😎❤️

"I am" I said, to no-one there and no-one heard, not even the chair 🪑 #chair

Had a lovely day - went to see The Sheep Detectives at the pictures (terrific fun) then had a tremendous italian meal. Bought a set of boules from a charity shop. You lot were lovely, everyone was lovely.

Happy day to you! 🎈 You'll be thrilled to know that solely to accommodate Wendy Carlos, I had to create a whole new department in my flat. Also includes @gailmyerscough.co.uk @8bitnorthxstitch.bsky.social @paineproffitt.bsky.social @pennykiley.bsky.social @masatojones.bsky.social

The shop - heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com - will have a bit of a break from late June-mid July while I get married/go on honeymoon. In the meantime every purchase much appreciated, all profits will go straight to a florist probably.

Birthday records! Excellent stuff!

8 weeks of solid stitching for the Fall Festival. Totally worth it. These finished pieces are for sale. Contact me if you’re interested.

The Hollies maybe? All the original 1962 members seem to be still hanging in there, now well into their 80s.

This is great, as an aside I think Manfred Mann might be the oldest band that could still reunite with it's 'original' line-up? Maybe?

To celebrate it being The Fall weekend I’ve got some limited editions card in my shop 8bitnorthxstitch.com Cruiser’s Creek, Victoria and 50,000 Fall Fans…

‘388’ our new album, conceived as a tribute to the power of music, the simple joy of making music together in a room. No campaigns, no build-up, no fuss. Music is truth. We’re so glad you like it #388 Copies: thecoral.os.fan 📸 @kevinspower(IG)

Fall fans! I've got some work up in this exhibition that kicks off today - absolutely made up to be featured alongside this stellar line-up!

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

I created a fanzine for this weekend’s Fall Futures & Pasts Festival at Band on the Wall. Only available at the merch stand. Find out how Messrs @stephenhanley6.bsky.social & @hanleypa.bsky.social answer Mr & Mrs style Qs about each other. Derek Batey would be dismayed… @routebooks.bsky.social

Les does The Troggs on that Lp! Pretty sure it’s The Stooges backing him.

Polish folk-pop morning. This is great!

Lovely stuff!! Hooray & thank you!

Well worth a quid of anyone’s money

Overlooked gem!

Last night's entertainment at @soundloungecio.bsky.social was provided by The Rousings (featuring @heykidsshop.bsky.social) with an acoustic solo support from David Fisher Really enjoyable sets from both #photography #music #sutton #london

Excellent work! Thank you very much 😊

today, the good ol' grateful deadcast concludes our 2-part tribute to bobby weir, getting deeper into his guitar playing & songwriting (via a 1981 jon sievert interview newly unearthed by @dgans.bsky.social!) & attempting to map his musical life beyond the dead. www.dead.net/deadcast/bob...

We’re really pleased to announce that our Documentary ‘Dreaming of You’ directed by @jamesslater77.bsky.social is available for streaming in the UK now on ITunes, Amazon and Google

I love today’s autumnal weather - the perfect soundtrack is the new Lucy Kitchen album:In the Low Light. Gorgeous, melancholy folk music, born from a personal tragedy,with shades of Sandy Denny and Nick Drake,and hints of jazz and Americana: open.spotify.com/album/2clqRu... #nowplaying
