wtf

This Wednesday! 8PM! FPCC!

Enjoyed Geoff Emerick's Beatles memoir (mainly for the surprisingly frequent digs at George Harrison & all the "and then the whole bus clapped" anecdotes). Gonna get All You Need is Ears & @spinal-bap.bsky.social's McCartney one next.

This query was actually in good faith for once

In our latest episode, Bill Callahan describes the decision to leave the Smog name behind and start fresh with A RIVER AIN'T TOO MUCH TO LOVE. Full deep dive interview: lifeoftherecord.com#/smog/

I like this one: throws in "eightteen 😄" as a kind of "way ahead of you buddy!! 😂 😉" then immediately includes eighty in a list of numbers from 1 to fifty 👍👌

Did I mention we have an album coming out? We have an album coming out. #oxfordelectronicmusic pre order link in bio

When I was about 13 we played a cover of Fairies Wear Boots at our secondary school concert, except we didn't know about delay pedals & so tried to do the opening bit with two guitars playing the same riff seconds apart 🙃 #ozzy #blacksabbath

We're hosting psych-shoegaze-noise rock legends Firefriend, all the way from Brazil. September 23rd, at the Jericho Tavern, support from us & Flights of Helios. Check out my sexy animated poster. Early bird tix: wegottickets.com/event/668421

🚨Gig alert!🚨 We're doing an OMS one at the Library, this Friday alongside Fiver, supporting the awesome Daily Toll. It's gonna be sweaty! I might wear shorts!!!

I looked up Nightshift's latest not-toilet-track-anymore artiste & it didn't disappoint

Yours truly (far left), aged 16, playing Sonic Youth's Chapel Hill at a charity gig in Malta, 1997. Points if you can guess what shirt I'm wearing

Happy John Cake Day to all who celebrate it

hey do you guys wanna club together to buy David Lynch's coffee grinder

Been looking at modular synth stuff this week & it's a rather beautiful microcosm. 1000s of videos, all of them featuring very happy, middle-aged men with £100000s worth of equipment making the most horrible sounds you've ever heard. Glorious stuff.

I feel like we need more feel-good stories like this if we're ever to heal as a nation 🫂❤️

TONIGHT! Come hear us as a trio! (just a temporary arrangement, mind) Doors 7.45, we're opening at 8.15 so DON'T BE FASHIONABLY LATE

Yay!!

who is the target audience for these new goddawful Reverb adverts on Youtube?

I've got 60 assignments to mark. Who wants to chat about my birthday book pile

Gosh he's a good looking chap ain't he

Justice for Doug Yule

My least endearing trait is referring to every meal as "a little amuse bouche"

Print copy of May's Nightshift is out now for those who prefer their gig listings old school. Delivering it made me melt so the least you can do is read it. Online here if you must: nightshiftmag.co.uk/2025/may.pdf

We caught a mouse last night & I was meant to take it far away, deep into the woods area behind our house but it was late & dark so I released it near the first tree I found. Said to my wife I was afraid there'd be some weirdo in the woods and she said you are the weirdo in the woods
