I met a fellow tonight who heard my music for the very first time and enjoyed it, describing it as if “driving a milk float on acid”! How brilliant

Always a good day when the post has this logo on it 😀 Time for some 1980s Discipline (and more) I think! @burningshed.com

Every wondered why some music might sound utterly soulless to you? Here’s a clue from a K-pop producer who treats music like some kind of exacting science, where any kind human mistake or character can’t be left untouched.

And very honest words from her too

I actually have a special show based around the work of Allen Ginsberg in Berlin on 8 November at Galerie Z22! 😀

Just a little reminder for your busy calendar. A super intimate show in London, with an extremely limited edition vinyl 7" only available at this show.

Those Talking Heads are incredible too! I've watched some truly awesome live shows on YouTube of those dates with Belew!

Robin Rimbaud - Scanner @scannerdot.com · 22d

Yes!!!!

For the David Bowie fans out there, here's a very rarely seen and magnificent concert on Musikladen Extra from Bremen on 29 May 1978, now complete and with a 2025 Restoration. Amazing stuff!

I actually very much like the look of it, but I don't own it so didn't pay a premium for it. If I had that amount of money I wouldn't choose to live in the USA either!

I’ll bring my own chair with me when I visit!

I guess someone will move in and make their own mark, or even demolish and change things as they wish. That’s the unappealing world of real estate for you!

What an opportunity for someone - the legendary David Lynch Compound is on sale for $15million. It's a joy just to look inside through the photos

A way to lose valuable hours in your day, a brave attempt to catalogue an algorithmically-generated, readability-adjusted scatter-plot of the musical genre-space!
