I have an opportunity to go to (north) Norway in Spring next year to see the Northern lights and go on a bit of a road trip / break. I've always wanted to go into the Arctic Circle and see the Aurora. Anyone have any good resources or tips as I start to plan this out?

Writing provides scaffolding. Structure for the unstructured, undisciplined mind. It’s a practical tool for thinking more effectively. And sometimes, it’s the best way to truly begin to think at all. kupajo.com/write-to-…

Don't mind me - I'll just be listening to Fools Gold on repeat for a few hours. RIP Mani.

So sad to hear about Mani from The Stone Roses - absolutely terrific bassist.

"Quiet, piggy" What that actual.... and I mean this really impolitely... F✱✱✱ is going on?

New week, new list of 'new' music to listen to. Discovered Hunted Bedrooms by Jilk from 2024. A lovely collection of electronica with some found sound/collage touches. One track appears to have a squash match for a rhythm track! #electronica album.link/s/2jghiBZjM...

Sunday Roundup. 10 Bands/Artists I listened to this week. - The Walker Brothers - Maps - Means of Production - drøne - Black Dog - Efdemin - Baxter Dury - Ben Chatwin - Emil Friis - Curtain Twitcher QT with yours.

Friday recommendation is from British electronic royalty. The Black Dog have remastered and rereleased their Fragments album (from 2020ish?), full of beautiful and haunting ambience and electronica. Highly recommended. #electronica album.link/s/1tXZIX3fF...

Loving the new music this week. Todays recommendation is Baghali by Jaan (who I think is from the Netherlands) - a nice mixture of some asian sounds with excellent electronica. Recommended #electronica album.link/s/6kwCaJY4H...

Todays recommendation is completely new to me, but have been around for a while. Drøne - The Long Song is collection of static, found sound, tones and synths which make up a slightly unsettling and curious soundscape. Recommended. #electronica album.link/s/1bGyLhQRK...

Todays new (to me) recommendation is an extraordinary journey from Maps - Welcome To The Tudor Gate. This is heady stuff, billed as a long-lost horror soundtrack and features some pulsating and anthemic electronics. I loved this! #electronica album.link/s/49BKIzK2U...

New week, and a fresh list of new (to me) music to listen to. Starting the week with an absolute BANGER from Means of Production and the album Joy. Electro-acid-kosmiche-spoken word - it's all in this belter! Highly recommended #electronica album.link/s/4WlTmHr3N...

Sunday Roundup. 10 Bands/Artists I listened to this week. - Just Mustard - Lily Allen - Dave - Carrier - Shlohmo - Anna von Hausswolff - Feel - Saint Leonard - Hildur Guďnadottir - Roger O’Donnell QT with yours.

🧩 Puzzle #831 🤔 9 guesses ⏱️ 1m 47s 🔗 alphaguess.com

I don't know how to describe todays new music find. Iconoclasts by Anna von Hausswolff is an epic, sweeping, gothic slice of electronica with stunning vocals - an collabs with Iggy Pop and Abul Mogard and others. It's incredible. #electronica album.link/s/20BKSOzIQ...

Someone is doing some significant drilling in an apartment above me... so working from home with airpods on!

🧩 Puzzle #829 🤔 18 guesses ⏱️ 7m 7s 🔗 alphaguess.com (wow - this was more frustrating than I imagined!)

Todays new (to me) music find is a cracker. Goodness by feeo is a delicate blend of electronics and vocals with some eerie spoken word in the mix. Fantastic stuff, and well worth a listen. #electronica album.link/s/5s4Wr7jKb...

"You're off your rocker, but I love your suit..." song.link/s/53047dsnL...

Back after some vacation to a massive list of New Music to listen to. First recommendation is Rhythm Immortal by Carrier. A glitchy collection of synths and washes with some spoken word. Very Bladerunner. #electronica album.link/s/4G3ayf2HU...

And who the f✱✱✱* is Madeleine?

Sunday Roundup. 10 Bands/Artists I listened to this week. - Mono - Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - U (just U, no 2) - Nightbus - Headache & Vegyn - Old Saw - Clarice Jensen - Emil Friis - Bryan Senti - Daniel G Harmann QT with yours.

Some fantastic new music released today - highlight for me is the second album from Headache & Vegyn - Thank you for almost everything. Criminally overlooked, this is beautiful electronica with uncanny spoken word 'poetry'. Highly Recommended. #electronica album.link/s/5bvnIPBte...

Straight off my New Music list is this superb slab of synthpop/postpunk from Nightbus - Passenger. Dark, brooding and mysterious with a filmic edge that sounds drenched in the drizzle and sodium lights. I bloody love it! #electronica album.link/s/52f6pfRHO... (Choose your streamer)

The last I heard of Mike Lindsay, he was doing interesting music with Anna B Savage. This is a new EP, performed with Phillippe Cohen Solal of Gotan Project, and it is 100% worth your time. Beautifully, stuffed full of orchestral and chamber sounds. album.link/s/0vSTsJ4OL...

A new name (to me) from my new music list. Clarice Jensen is a cellist & composer and this album is full of gently throbbing electronics, and some other instruments. Listen to the BEAUTIFUL 'Esthesis' where you get your streams. #electronica album.link/s/5S8s95bVp...

My radio mix from yesterday - housey housey, and loads of fun... www.mixcloud.com/rutherfordm...

Welcome to a new week of new music. Starting my listening off with this slightly odd album. Archenfeld by U is a very British sounding slice of hauntology? avant-garde? experimental? I dunno, but I'm enjoying it. album.link/s/1NtBvd1XR... (choose your streaming service)

Sunday Roundup. 10 Bands/Artists I listened to this week. - Will Wood - Sulk Rooms - Klein - Jo Johnson - Ben Chatwin - Marlon Williams - Glacis - Braulio Lam - Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Daniel G Harmann QT with yours.

And so, I politely ask - WTAF is going on with my targetted advertisments at the moment?

Some fantastic new #electronica released today - but a highlight for me is Versaille, by Daniel G Harmann. This is a beautiful, soothing album full of warm sounds that were perfect company for my morning. Highly Recommended. album.link/s/6iOxEug0P... (Choose your streamer)

Todays #electronica recommendation is the glitchy, analogue sounds of Braulio Lam - Bianco Y Negra. There's a trace of dub echoes and delays in this thoughtful and gentle album. Recommended. album.link/s/5zXJtWGWO... (Choose your platform)

Does anyone else get this weirdness on the Spotify UI? Isn't there all the time, but at least once a day I see it. If I click it, it disappears. #spotify

One of the most relaxing things I've heard in a long time - straight off my new (to me) music list... Jo Johnson - Escape Now on Quiet Details records. A beautiful slice of thoughtful electronica. #electronica album.link/s/4SQNHV0fc... (Choose your platform)
