Salford and Kirkby Lonsdale. Electronic music… and that kind of thing.

Christmas is looming. Books make great gifts. If there is anyone in your life who might enjoy a signed/dedicated copy of one/some/all of these paperbacks (even if that person is you) drop me a line.

Leisure Process - 'A Way You'll Never Be'

Listeners of a certain age won't need any clues as to the bass player on this.

In lieu of the radio show, may I introduce you to a new podcast, National Grid, featuring @guerrillabiscuits.bsky.social and me.

We'll be talking to various people playing in what I think is generally referred to as the grassroots electronic music scene.

Also, no #electronicears this week due to

a) a busy few days (which doesn't usually stop me, tbh), but also

b) a weekend spent decorating, which I actually enjoyed. (Not usually my bag.)

My thanks to anyone who is even remotely disappointed :-)

Anyway, back next week, fo' sure.

Found a couple of tracks by David Sylvian on Bandcamp that I didn’t know existed.

Here’s the link if you are in the same ‘I like Sylvo but didn’t know about those tracks’ boat.

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

We went to Pengshui on Monday, which was fantastic, but between tracks Illaman mentioned they had some roots in electronic music, so I embarked down that rabbit hole, yesterday.

For the sake of brevity, let me just say that I am enjoying this:

(Obvious bias aside) this compilation is a wonderful listen

Full of great tracks from start to end, a range of styles beautifully executed, yet still speak coherently

Give the artists involved a follow

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

Finally picked up David Stubbs’ ‘Fear Of Music: Why People Get Rothko But Don’t Get Stockhausen’, and it’s excellent.

Absolutely loved this about Derek Bailey. I had no idea about this side of his musical life.

I find that the existing emojis don't cover the full range of emotions I need to express how I feel about some replies to my jokes. So I've decided to make my own.

Keep thinking of when Disney tried to sue the BBC when Alexei Sayle’s Stuff parodied Snow White and the BBC legal person was heard to say, ‘Fuck Disney, we’re the BBC.’
