I've just come out of Bulk, the new Ben Wheatley film, at @thenickelcinema.bsky.social (my new favourite cinema, btw). My head has been on a Jodorowskian journey into low budget meta-dom, and I may never reach the destination.

The first show of 2026 for CAMP Radio is now online, featuring songs from my 10 favourite albums of 2025. Some you may have seen on other end-of-year lists, others I guarantee you won't... x

New article for In Spite! For real this time. Two months ago, I was so enraptured by Franco-Australian gamelan group Ensemble Nist-Nah at Café Oto, I had to write...

Ringside Gamelan With Ensemble Nist-Nah — In Spite Magazine
1MU’s favourite live show of 2025 involved no guitars, no microphones, and in his case, no chair. What it involved, however, was a lot of metal…

New article! Sort of. I contributed a list of 10 of my favourite shows from 2025 to In Spite Magazine, one of which was My Bloody Valentine at Wembley. There's an 11th, but I've written that up separately, for later publication...

As the end of the year approaches, I think it's the right moment to call time on the 'Persons Underground' album cycle, 18 months after its launch... This post is split into 2, and this is the 2nd half, 'The Shows'...

The best part of making stuff, besides having others enjoy it, is experiencing your work improve as you learn your craft. "This thing's so much better than last year's things. I can't wait to see what next year's things are like!"

AI nobbers are robbing themselves of this joy.

Today marks the first time my partner has entered Whamhalla before me. I hope she's keeping my seat warm.

It's the not-very-Christmassy-Christmas show for CAMP Radio, with a bold announcement - I'm retiring the show next year. Until then, I still have plenty of music to share with you, including this hour of goodies...
