I know David from early 90s from music email lists, and I’ve always loosely kept an eye on him and exchanged the occasional word. Never been to NY so have no emotional attachment to these views, but I do like urban/industrial photography so they look pretty good to me. Congrats @dmandl.bsky.social

Go-go time!

Tonight in the Explorers Room, live on @wfmu.bsky.social & @gtdradio.bsky.social: exotic jazz breezes, psychedelic ragas and indo-fusions, and some very heavy business with a dub set drawn from Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sounds. Join me, 7-10:00pm: wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Other than the problem of broadcast landscape being totally different, no channel has a majority audience: the return of the public information film, in all its gore and horror, is long overdue. “Nanny state!” you cry, but it’s proven we can’t rely on people having common sense. We never could…

It’s taken me a while to get around to listening to all the episodes of Duncan Stuck In The 80s. The weekend one I’ve yet to get to but I’ve very much enjoyed them to now, love a classic jingle re-sing, and I think I’ll revisit his jingle compilations next, all done with flair and humour.

We need an intermediate measure of area between the standard “football fields” and “Wales”. Up at “210 football fields” I cannot usefully visualise.

The go go is strong with this one youtu.be/8PizSSUfetg

Oh yes this’ll liven up @radiofreeskaro.bsky.social ‘s (anti)Eurovision chat next year :)

Pushing this dub of Tabu again because it's a) pretty good, and b) I think more of you should be subscribing to Dubstack rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-48...

THIS WEEK ON THE RECORD STORE DAY PODCAST, legendary UK producer ADRIAN SHERWOOD reflects on The Collapse of Everything, and his collaborators like Brian Eno, and dear departed cohorts such as Keith LeBlanc, Mark Stewart, and Lee “Scratch” Perry. Wherever you get your podcasts or: bit.ly/RSDPODCAST

This was well worth the listen, Adrian has done many interviews covering the early days, sometimes mentioning the Fall in passing, so this is a great deep-dive into that particular era.

Go down politician, go down politician. Truth is taking over. Go down politician, go down Mr Tician. Roots is taking over.

Of course I’ve written a Sly Dunbar obituary… 🕊️

On this 40th anniv of the loss of STS-51L, I'm delighted that friend of On The Wire Joe gives a mention in his newsletter to my 2019 re-imagining of our dear friend Keith Leblanc's Major Malfunction. "Is this the residence of Fats Comet?" More reading here: jrbinks.wordpress.com/2019/12/28/m...

'Sidings is a powerful statement of love for a place [Yorkshire moors] and understanding of its people and history, muted and yearning. Crisp, rich tones leave space for the imagination to flood in, and take us to a location that exists only in the mind' Craven Faults - Sidings buff.ly/NWIVWfu

It’s a good day when there is new Craven Faults on the horizon …

@radiofreeskaro.bsky.social “97 to 99 FM, Radio 1”; “10 53 and 10 89, and stereo Vee Aitch Efffff”

@bbcrecords.co.uk Right up your street

I do not wish to be unkind to the great Daryl Pandy, but re-watching the fantastic Love Can’t Turn Around on TOTP… he slimed me.

Wrongtom’s deep dives are always fascinating and forensic. I’d never noticed the connection from Sleng Teng to one of RSW’s finest moments. Mighty work.

Enjoying catching up with some Music Maps podcasts @musicmaps.bsky.social @rnrbook-club.bsky.social; @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social and @jahwobble.bsky.social and Granadaland ones, all jolly good. Once I finally figured out the feed url to add to my podcast app

Saturday! Bhajan Bhoy and On The Wire business! @sjbotw.bsky.social @ajaysaggar.bsky.social @actionrecords.bsky.social
