So it did! And it's bonkers we went from Best New Band to being in Best Band category at all. Bonkers, but thrilled. Thanks as ever to all #Prog Magazine Readers who voted, the Prog Magazine team & our dear cheerleaders @progzilla.com (Still your fault @mikewhitfield.bsky.social 😊) #Progrock #Music

This happened, even though it's 9 months later now "Holy Bloody Moly! Thanks so much to all who voted for us in the Prog Mag's readers poll! We're THRILLED to be included in the Best Band category alongside such absolute prog legends!" #music #readerspoll #progmagazine #progrock #artrock #thankyou

I’m not saying that eating Nutella straight from the jar has healed my emotional wounds, but it certainly hasn’t made things worse.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Thanks, everyone who came to Summer’s End Prog Fest in Chepstow! Fab to be back & catch up with a bunch of our proggy pals! We really enjoyed the excellent sets from Circu5, Comedy of Errors and Lazuli. Cracking line-up all round! Big kudos to Huw for creating a smashing festival!! Tim Ellis: 📸

THREAD. A *big* ask, I know, but I'm trying to seek out a US publisher for this book this week & any further orders from Blackwell's will REALLY help that cause. Amazingly, they do free international delivery, which makes it cheaper than buying many books locally. blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/pro...

Also, 2000+ readers in North America have now bought (via import) this book, which still does not have a publisher in the US or Canada, and which I was told confidently by the British publishing industry had no chance of having an overseas audience due to being "too British".

Just got all my boys together to take on the wandering ronin who came to town. There’s like 15 of us and only one of him so pretty much the only thing that would give me any pause is if he was master of the devastating and lightning-fast iaidō style. But that’s not likely.

Of all the warnings that 2000AD gave me as a child, I believe the most useful one in my personal life was the warning against guys like this. Similar to the warning given by Labyrinth. It said, little girl, you meet a guy like this? You open the valve on his pressure suit.

These were three individual pieces I did in 2021. Unplanned, they became something of an accidental sequence. They then prompted me to make the piece in the quoted post, of the pumpkin dance, by way of a conclusion. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, each 95 × 64 mm.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

An eventful journey from a flat tyre the second we left the ferry to reaching our first gig! 🤣 But the lovely BRL man had Stroopwafels; a perfect entry to the country! Huge thanks to everyone at Resistor, Leiden last Saturday! Such a warm reception! Our first gig in the Netherlands was fab! #music
