Ok, so being pinned to the sofa I’m now watching some bizarre review of clubbing in 1998 that BBC2 did at the time. And which is basically a 90 minute advertorial for Mixmag (would love to know how they pulled that off) A weird unexpected time capsule with some absolute social history gems in

Day 2 of being on my own here, have watched approximately 10 hours of documentaries about acid house on YouTube, now watching one about the Balearic scene in Berkshire

What’s this? All six issues of Wyrd Science available to download to a device of your choice for around the same price as, let’s say, 4 Gregg’s Sausage Rolls. Remarkable really. Tabletop game enjoyers, what’s stopping you? Oh it’s because you are a person of culture & prefer print media, well…

A book of “the hardest gangsta rap cassette covers ever made“? Yes please

God, I don’t think I’ve watched that in 30 years and… I made a lot of very loud involuntary sounds for a wide variety of reasons watching that in 2025 🤔

Place to myself this weekend, almost every piece of media ever created at my fingertips, watching The Crow 🤔

wild to think we could all be just clinking cocktail glasses, passing around a Garfield shaped bong and listening to this, instead of *waves at everything*

i like how the UK's staying on brand during our new time of monsters as the rest of the world deals with AI death drones & the like we're still haunted by the past with abyssal voids revealing long buried secrets opening up on high streets in leafy villages called things like Godstone or Hobb's End

I’ve probably listened to this song at least once a week for god knows how long and it never fails to fuck me up

unfortunately I'm guessing they are only about a week away from the VP of the USA feeling able to tell these jokes at a press conference but still until then...

Trying to think of another musical genre where the gulf between the best and worst is as impossibly vast as goth

Tonight’s NewsNight is giving me far too much programme on in the background of the opening scenes of a really bleak film vibes

free press, lovely concept, sounds great but also I think we're probably overdue a serious discussion about chucking a few Telegraph writers in a dark dank prison for a redemptive spell

Nice bundle of records from the lads at NEWS just arrived, as ever loved working on the NWAP series, this one’s a banger, edits of classic EBM/proto-house/italo/new beat etc tracks by Deborah Sasson & MCL, Philadelphia Five, J.W.B. Hits The Beat & Voyou cursesforever.bandcamp.com/album/next-w...

I do sometimes think I should have given being a professional artist a proper go

I keep imagining all the confused and hurt looks at the monthly illuminati meet-ups these days, all those centuries spent trying to rule the world by skulking around the shadows when they could have just been grandstanding dipshits on main the whole time

Like every dweeb who probably knows the matrix codes to too many Warp 12"s I've been known to roll my eyes at thumbs up Macca on occasion but everytime Slidin' comes on I just think he was fucking 80 when he banged this out
