Giuseppe Capo GOSH IT WORKS

invest in the arts you cowards

Enjoying the recent Bill Orcutt and Mabe Fratti LP. I was surprised by Mabe Fratti's voice, before realising the record's meant to be played at 45RPM. (Sounds great on either setting)

I was just visited by a flower crab spider, apparently a relatively rare species that you only get to see between April and May. I feel blessed, and humbled and in retrospect I'd like to apologise for screaming and shouting and calling it names while my wife trapped it and put it back in the garden

What a legacy. Nightshift was the thing that got me making music again when I moved to Oxford 11 years ago. Godspeed!

Boooooo. Fingers crossed it finds a new home.

Hello it is Bandcamp Friday so we are doing a capitalism. If you buy our merch today we get all the money. Alternatively come to EMOM at The Library on Sunday where we will be playing none of these songs as it is a new material set. Link in bio. #oxfordmusic #oxfordelectronicmusic #oxfordmusicscene

30 YEARS AGO TODAY: the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party is opened by Reeves & Mortimer covering Hawkwind's Silver Machine. No explanation, no lyrical changes unless a cameo by the riff from Day Tripper counts, never released, and they weren't hosting it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGeb...

Magnificent? They really are. The August List are on the cover of November's Nightshift, which is online now at nightshiftmag.co.uk/2025/nov.pdf

Sugar are back with their first new music and shows in three decades; hear "House Of Dead Memories"

I think it might soon be Time To Buy Another Offset Guitar With A Unusable Tremolo

I feel this photo deserves the @harrysword.bsky.social 'strong energy' treatment

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!!
