My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

This was my Sun Ra entry point - it took me some time to get any further!

I had such a brilliant, and very emotional, time seeing them on Monday in London. And I got to say hello to Nick, which was lovely!

First Record of The Weekend is the Psychedelic Furs' classic first album from 1980. Guess why I've chosen this one? I've just booked a trip to India for March! Any excuse to play this brilliant record.

First Record of The Weekend is the fantastic Noise Meditations from Bike. This Brazilian band were one of the highlights of the OSP Psych Weekender at the Strongroom Bar last weekend. This is a brilliant album - noisy psychedelic and otherworldly. Love it!

Subtly downgrade a band.

That's really useful!

So, yet again the BBC News acts as a Reform mouthpiece. Chris "Fascist" Mason criticises Ed Davey for accusing the beeb of Reform bias, which is followed by a other 10 minute love-in of Reform's awful deportation announcement. Disgusting propaganda.

Ah, shame that's an evening when I teach a yoga class, otherwise I'd have liked to come along and see what these meetings are like - I've been intruiged for some time now.

Wow! That is very good indeed, and very lovely. I've ordered a copy straight away. Thanks for the recommendation.

...counting floors up and down. It fascinated me, and I've been interested in computers ever since.

I may not be the sanest being on the planet, but I am reasonably rational, and can eat without dribbling. Most of the time.

I would dispute that! Born in 1959, and came across a computer as a 12 year old, as a plastic flip-flop machine that emulated a lift (elevator) mechanism...

WIll give the Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer a listen by the way!

Stephen Bradbury @squidtempest.bsky.social · Sep 12

As is the Eno & Wolfe Luminal album. I can't stop listening to it.

It reminds me of the second side of Before and After Science, and it is just so gorgeous. I love it.

First Record of The Weekend is Folding Space, the new album from Black Tempest. Self-indulgent I know, but it is released today and I'm really rather pleased with it. Thanks to @nickraybould.bsky.social for bashing things.

Play loud.
