Turns out several of our records have gone missing because the p.o. counter have been using really unsticky labels and they’ve fallen off. Anyway, if anyone gets a package that has the postage label stuck on with a panicked clump of sellotape and a little bit of chewing gum, that‘s why.

I was scrolling the old site and saw a blog post about some brilliant 14 year old. ’Bollocks’ I thought as I hit play on the brilliant ‘Dear Lincoln’…

Great in depth interview with Kiran Leonard in @theguardian.com, taking in his entire career from when we released his debut, Bowler Hat Soup back in 2013. He’s an endlessly fascinating artist and it’s been wonderful to see him evolve! www.theguardian.com/music/2026/o...

#nowplaying This sampler had the intended effect, but many, many years too late, as the lady from Trumps in B. Stortford patiently explained to child me when I tried to order a copy of The Ray King Soul Band Live At The Playboy Club 30 years after it’s deletion.

I followed a guy who makes a different sandwich each day on the internet and it feels like he’s quietly losing it. Seems pretty cool, make one novel sandwich a day, post about it and that’s your job? *Monkeys Paw Unfurls*

More than two dozen workers at three major publishing houses—HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette—tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech. Read the full story: buff.ly/p0ymGmN

The problem with rock operas is that songs end up getting written to move forward some incomprehensible story, and it sounds like it. Why yes we are listening to the often excellent, but flawed Preservation Act 1.

The guitar gods have blessed me with most of a *second* 1964 Vox Apache, which means I can assemble one goodun and have a second as an ongoing project. Not bad for a guitar they allegedly only made 20 of

gregor samsa awoke one morning to discover he had been transformed into a sickass beetle. fuck yeah he said scuttling all over the walls and ceiling like no dumbfuck traveling salesman could ever do. this is the best day of my life he said

Where does ‘Authentic Folk Voice’ originate? You hear it all the time on telly when they want to make some countryside footage feel old and authentic, I’d assumed they got it from some sixties folk types singing in their local accent, but Martin Carthy (for eg) is from Hatfield.

Also: I wasn’t the only gargantuan guitar nerd to email a complaint to the production company when they showed some absolute hack spoke shaving the neck of a 1960s Fender Jazz Bass.

The Repair Shop. Could have been a useful guide for people to restore and reuse old things. Instead, they made it a sentimental load of useless bullshit where people just cry over a fucking clock.

Next release is coming, and it’s a beauty. Dan makes ambient techno now, but two decades ago he made music to rival John Martyn and Nick Drake. As with every Unspun release, it’s a vinyl debut for this album. You won’t be disappointed.

Unspun Heroes®@unspunheroes.com

Dan Arborise performing ‘You’ll All Get What’s Coming To You’, taken from Of Tide & Trail, out on vinyl for the first time ever on Unspun Heroes. Order via Bandcamp today: unspunheroes.bandcamp.com/album/of-tid...

#new2me26 The Genesis - A Story By The Genesis This is amazing. An unreleased (very) English concept album from 1969. Really hoping that @dimorphodons.bsky.social can chip in with the full mad story. It's very much in the S.F. Sorrow neck of the woods and deserves so much love.

#nowplaying Been circling a copy of this killer Dave Davies b side for a while, a barely documented Austrian (I think) picture sleeve convinced me to bite on this one!

It really throws me any time I see someone say they used AI instead of a search engine. Like… *squints* what am I looking at here exactly. I was unaware that humanity had room for a fresh type of dickhead.

Hark! To mark the start next week of Nunkie's autumn season of supernatural tales, until Thursday you can get a copy of "Shadows and Gestures - Scripts after M R James" for £12.50. That's a scarcely believable £5 discount. Email me for details of how to pay: address here www.nunkie.co.uk/contact

Hello, it is Friday and I have added these four artworks to my ink and watercolour shop, in case some excellent person or persons would like to buy them. These are watercolour heavy and contain Rarefied Vibes, perhaps. Humid in a good way 🚑 🦊 🐮 ☎️ www.chloecumming.com/inkwater
