I had one of the weirder moments in a weird life last night when I realised that the Black Mirror episode Playthings was inspired by Creatures, a game I worked on in the 90s. Charlie Brooker reviewed it at the time, and apparently it stuck in his head.

I was searching for a word to meaning “having as few rules as possible” and realised how literal “unruly” is. Never struck me before. Isn’t language marvellous?

This collaboration between Nils Frahm and Robert de Niro is currently playing on 6 Music. A 15 minute mixture of grainy folk orchestra and spoken word. Absolutely stunning.

A glorious glimpse of the Britain I was born into. A beautiful insight into the era that produced Monty Python. youtu.be/p8fOJdmSbdU?...

I didn't realise Brian Eno had worked with Marianne Faithfull, contributing synthesiser, effects and arrangement to this bleakly beautiful track from her album with @warrenellis.bsky.social RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjo...

@bob-boilen.bsky.social Nice to (kind of) meet you this evening. Thanks for being the first to play Bloom all those years ago!

I’ve just had it confirmed that I correctly remembered a joke by @boothbygraffoe.bsky.social despite only seeing him perform live once, thirty years ago. If that’s not a good recommendation I don’t know what is…

Currently enjoying Abul Mogard’s remix of @foveahex.bsky.social’s We Dream All the Dark Away: foveahex.bandcamp.com/track/we-dre... It’s a gorgeous track to lose yourself in for 20+ minutes.

Today’s adventure in crisp land: KFC flavoured crisps from Germany. Like regular Walkers chicken crisps with a sachet of black pepper per crisp. Oddly compelling.

Apparently I’m playing live on Sky Arts at the moment, surround by lots of people with the “Eno” surname.

I just stumbled across this video of one of the biggest and most fun gigs I've ever played, with Karl Hyde at Fuji Rock in 2013. We were joined by Karl's daughter Tyler, now better known for playing with Black Country ; New Road. I think it was her first gig. youtu.be/kQlRUNneZf0?...

I woke up with No-Man’s cover of Nick Drake’s Road going round in my head this morning. It’s much more programmed and precise than the original, but brings out things I hadn’t really noticed before. youtu.be/xtWFotkIBU4?...

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.
