Please consider buying a print. This is just a random plug and definitely isn’t because I’ve just had a massive bill from the dentist. marswasrubbish.etsy.com

Was working at clubs and gigs in 1997 and the first week or two this came out it was used in every soundcheck, which usually meant a couple of us standing in a DJ booth laughing while watching the rest of the crew nearly drop quite expensive kit everywhere when Like Herod kicked in.

I think of this video every time someone starts banging on about bringing back imperial measures.

Start this thinking it's a euphemism for being too good, get to the end to see they actually did call the cops on a toddler, and then read further to see the kid's been kicked out of the league and told if he comes back it's trespassing.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Every year the same. Clocks go back - *time itself* manipulated- ‘for farmer’. And every year the farmer next door stays in bed. Luxuriating in slumber; delighting in nod; feasting on lethargy. His fields? Fallow. His livestock unattended; his fine machines rusting. RISE MAN! Sew, gather *make hay*

Slightly emotional seeing Mike D last night. He could do zero Beasties and it would still be amazing, but he chose the half dozen covers perfectly. His band, and his boys, look like they're having the time of their lives. He remains the illest motherfucker from here to Gardena.

It’s 11-13 degrees outside today, depending on where you are in the UK. This is also the recommended serving temperature range for cask ale. So this is my annual invitation to anyone who thinks cask is served “warm” to go outside in your summer clothes and let us know how you get on.

Whoever did the scheduling for today's Mutations festival really enjoyed this.

I think this is the most Walthamstow Life Facebook post in the history of Walthamstow, Life or Facebook.

In the long term this is way more destructive than Jackdaw, because it actively slows down electrification and weaning households off residual LNG consumption.

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

A happy farewell to Cabaret Voltaire. Not many bands get to arrive sounding like the future and 50yrs later leave sounding like everything's finally caught up with them.

Here's is two hours of music we played on Sunday. Lots of genres. A mix of old and new. And we don't really talk much, so that's a plus. www.mixcloud.com/RadioNightTr...

Currently working away while listening to this. It's a brilliant mix.

If you want a genuinely weird and frightening Halloween mix then get on this. 2 hours, dark bass, chilling ambience and a load of horror movie samples to die for. www.mixcloud.com/lwstd-fm/202...

The debut single by @hibbettchristopher.bsky.social has landed and it's a lovely thing. I saw them perform it live recently and found out that there's a shop in France which sells little toy birds making birdsong, which MJ told us about as he unveiled his pocket robin (tweet, tweedly-dee).

An evening in the company of Daudi Matsiko. One of the country's best songwriters and just a really lovely human being.

MARTIN. I first drew Martin when he was merely an eBay listing of a modest 1990s toy clown. Then I bought him! And drew him as a tasteful still life. My son asks me to move him any time his face is visible in the room, as allegedly Martin is ‘terrifying’ www.chloecumming.com/chloepencilh...

Have reached the singing Curry Goat to the tune of Carrot Rope stage of making curry goat.

Blog update: On learning of McDonalds part in a Government plan to feed the public if nuclear war erupted, Pop Will Eat Itself rapped about Big Macs on "Def Con One". It reached the top of the Indie Charts and was their last single before signing to RCA. indienumber1s.blogspot.com/2026/10/120-...

I said to my wife when this came out it sounds like the Tings Tings covering Carter USM. @jimbaxter.bsky.social separately pointed out that the Carter song in question is actually Suppose You Gave a Funeral and Nobody Came. I doubt anyone else noticed or cared tbf.

Like many people who lived in Sheffield in the early 00s I did half a day working with Ant Marketing which basically meant door-to-door selling unnecessary gas upgrades to people with English as a second language. I made zero sales.

The only thread you'll ever need about the Human League or Dare.

Loved writing this one for @thequietus.com

Not just BBC at fault, but if the ethnicity of the politician calling for beheading the King was non-white you can guarantee that lede would not be buried. Also, assuming that the lawyers are still arguing over the final broadcast, these comments might be far from the worst things about to come out.

Happy birthday to the original 8 track version of this album which is perfection and the only one that counts.

New song HEAVY INDUSTRY available for streaming. The full album is out on 30.10.2026 on @castlesinspace.bsky.social #ElectronicMusic #Electronica #NewMusic

Auto playing random new series is really annoying. I came back into the room after an hour and that Wargames bollocks with Gove was playing and now it's in my "Continue Watching" and my "Because You Watched", which makes algorithmic suggestions, and viewing figure renewals, absolutely pointless.
