Honoured that Leonard and Hungry Paul has been included in the @irishtimes.com 100 best Irish books of the 21st century (so far), at 38. Thanks so much to the contributors who selected it. (Ps. I was a contributor but didn't nominate or upvote my own book.) www.irishtimes.com/culture/book...

I just started reading The North Road by @robcowen.bsky.social. I’m only about 30 pages in but already utterly under its spell.

Went down to the Crystal Palace FA Cup victory parade - great vibe ♥️💙

I got the new Sony headphones with the unmemorable name that ends with a 6. I had the 3s before so they are quite a step up. Every gimmick is a waste of time (make it sound like you’re in a cafe? Puh-leeeeze… it sounds like a free room reverb plugin) but otherwise they are great and I’m v happy.

I absolutely love the show “The Assembly” - probably my favourite thing on TV at the moment.

Can we just stop this day right here? 😂♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

They’re making Cluedo harder and harder to solve these days.

I have a rule: if I mention the book Leonard and Hungry Paul by @ronanhession.bsky.social to a friend who hasn’t heard of it, I immediately order them a copy. This is the 16th such copy, destined for my co-producer of the Flook Sanju EP, John Calvert. Mentioned over beers in the sun yesterday ♥️

Just a little reminder that I built this musical toolbox Synculator - all kinds of helpful calculations for producers and musicians like delay times, MIDI note chart, Hz to bpm, metronome etc. synculator.stevejones.music Completely free to use ♥️

Can’t believe the new pope once produced a track for Ozzy Osbourne! Legend 🤘 #NewPopeBackStory

For the day that’s in it… #MayTheFourthBeWithYou youtu.be/izXFGiXfnsg?... Genius from @stevejones.music

One of my absolute favourite albums growing up. Played to me by a quiet Scottish guy in my school called Shep who sadly is no longer with us. On the same day he also introduced me to Metallica, Kings X, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. I owe him a lot #RIP Shep x

Well that’s tickets for next years World Snooker Championship sorted, and only one credit card melted in the process 🔴

One of the all-time great jazz lineups. No-one could swing like these cats... @nickmotown.bsky.social

I am going through that last obsessive bit of mixing where I listen to the track in headphones last thing at night and think, “that vocal needs to go down 1dB at the top… cello fade 2 seconds earlier… lengthen reverb tail on the last note by 5 seconds” Time to walk away. It’s done.

Nice article on developing a logo using AI, from a master of brand design, Matt Rudd: ruddstudio.com/project/drea...

Spent a bit of time with a friend over the weekend… and his ridiculous guitars - 1967 Gibson ES-335 which was like new, and a kickass 1962 Fender Jazzmaster. Loved the Baldwin too… he’s a lucky boy, eh, #guitarsky?

Wow - check this out #synthsky 🤯 www.hackster.io/news/this-al...

Spent the day putting the finishing touches to the new Juliet Turner record (anyone from Ireland remember this amazing artist?) with my dear friend and stellar producer Leo Abrahams. Joyous.

Tell me the chorus of @boniverwi.bsky.social's new track "Everything is Peaceful Love" isn't the most glorious thing you've heard for as long as you can remember.... It's FUCKING AMAZING. I cannot listen to it without welling up. So full of love and hope. Thank you thank you. This album is 🔥♥️✨

My dear friend @iancul.bsky.social sent me this today... it's so charming. A story about how a Japanese woman programmed a loop into the Casiotone MT-40 in the early 80s which got used on a monster reggae track. Her inspiration for the loop? Watch and see ♥️ www.arte.tv/en/videos/10...

@nadineshah.bsky.social hey we met last night at Pete’s gig and you have the best accent ever ♥️

New Flook album, produced by the mighty @stevejones.music now in the world and it sounds equally mighty… #Music #NewMusic #Vinyl #MusicSky

2 Unlimited got the idea for their famous “no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no” refrain by browsing through Netflix.

Nice review of Flook’s Sanju in @hotpress.com ♥️ Exciting times - it’s released tomorrow 🙌 www.hotpress.com/music/album-...

This is one for @thegingerman.bsky.social

Going to watch Lizz Wright at The Barbican tonight. I’m trying to prepare myself for it but there’s only so much you can do when a singer has found a direct high speed fast fibre optical connection directly to the core of your soul. There will be tears 🥲

So happy to finally be recording this guy - for a lovely track I’m working on with Juliet Turner 🤩

I'm going to be thinking about this interaction between Flea and a black bear for a very long time

Six years I think. I still have the duffle but so much else in my life has changed. 💛

I still get a buzz from getting an actual physical product of something I’ve worked on - in this case the gorgeous vinyl of Flook’s upcoming record “Sanju” - out on 21st March ♥️ @flookquartet.bsky.social

I was delighted to find out that @martynjosephwales.bsky.social has joined! The man is the real deal and a dear friend ♥️
