Been playing a lot of Robert Palmer today. "Which Of Us Is The Fool" "Sneakin' Sally" "She Makes My Day" "Best Of Both Worlds". And just chanced across this absolutely charming French TV rendition of the magnificent "Johnny & Mary" www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGIQ...

I was doing some housekeeping and found couple of folders of stuff that had got put aside and forgotten. There's some old stuff in there, and some different things I was playing with at the time - like this! I can feel a githerments #2 coming on... #demo #electronicmusic #music #samples #filmnoir

Nice gentle little early morning session on #IRobot from #Llamasoft Got a few new levels under my belt. I think a top 10 place on the PS leaderboard is doable. Might give it a go later…

Amazingly, I have 133 tunes out in the wild. And that's not including quiddity stuff either. I keep track in a spreadsheet. 😜 If someone would like to pick a number from 1 to 133, I'll pop a link to the corresponding tune...

Less than 3 DAYS to back the HEART OF NEON Blu-ray Kickstarter campaign..! Grab this unique collector's edition before the opportunity is gone. kickstarter.com/projects/dok... #GamingCommunity #retrogaming #videogames #indiedev #jeffminter #llamasoft

It seems the new groups are concerned 😃 I love this footage (that I’ve just seen on Facebook) of Paul (Simonon) with a couple of young Clash fans singing ‘Guns Of Brixton’ ❤️

I'm in glacial mode for new music production at the moment. There's stuff happening, of course, but I seem to be struggling for time to do new things. So it was nice that this idea dropped out last night in a couple of hours. #music #electronicmusic #workinprogress #demo

I’ll tell you a joke about Sisyphus - it’s a bit of an uphill struggle. I’ll tell you that joke about Sisyphus again - it’s a bit of an uphill struggle. I’ll tell you joke about Sisyphus again - it’s a bit of an uphill struggle. I’ll tell you joke about Sisyphus again…

If you're interested in the project, the Kickstarter is still running for another week or so - it's into its stretch goals so a few more pennies will mean a few more goodies! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dokk/the-heart-of-neon-blu-ray

As part of the Kickstarter for Heart of Neon (a film about Jeff Minter, Llamasoft & light synths) I was asked by Paul Docherty, the filmmaker, to have a chat about Llamasoft & how my music came to be in their games Flattered to be asked & was fun! youtu.be/GGeoWmPyPak?... #HeartOfNeon #Llamasoft

Don’t feel like going to bed.

Working on a UK gov department web site filling in a multi-part form spread over about 10 web pages (or so). As you'd expect, there's a time out function to reduce security risk. However, it appears that this time out is coded to sign you out 15 minutes after you sign in. Regardless of any [1/2]

Seriously considering using some old 11+ non-verbal reasoning questions for the table round in tomorrow night's pub quiz. I shall probably be the most hated man in the village.

My top 50 played artists in May. No surprises really. Well. Maybe one.

A three-year-old brought me a bit of black paper. "Look", she said, "I found a piece of night!" We're all born poets, but slowly we forget.

Amazingly, our own Andrew Orton has uncovered a rare 1971 first edition of 'Hammer of the Dust Tower' - the first book in Henry Hunter's Fellfoul series. Bizarre that Andrew should chance upon it like that, just on a pile in a Co Durham charity shop. It's almost as though it wanted to be found...

The Percussotron! The first drum-operated synthesiser to be invented and operated by a swarthy 1970s TV detective.
