This Friday! Exhibition on from Thursday to Sunday performancevenues.group.shef.ac.uk/event/50-yea...

Today, 13 May 2025, is the 50th anniversary of the first performance by #CabaretVoltaire. This will be commemorated in October by a live collaboration by founding members Chris Watson and Stephen Mallinder as Cabaret Voltaire Redux buff.ly/P1gzgZy

Very happy to have been involved in bringing this event together! performancevenues.group.shef.ac.uk/event/50-yea...

RIP Brian Griffin. Sleeve designer and photographer extraordinaire. So chuffed he came to the launch of the Thomas Leer and Robert Rental exhibition at the Horse Hospital in 2022.

This morning I'm wondering why the comms team at @partickthistle.bsky.social aren't migrating to this platform from the extremism channel. There's a profile in place, but it remains a placeholder.

@greatdismal.bsky.social Look what our local second hand bookshop was donated by the late slipstream author Christopher Priest!

Lots of fine 80s synth pop there to get my teeth into! Thank you #VinylSanta whoever you are! And many thanks to @vinylsanta.bsky.social for all the organisation yet again. Merry Xmas everyone! 🎄 💿 📀 🎵

Vinyl Santa's been! First pressie under the tree... 🎅🤶🧑‍🎄 #VinylSanta @vinylsanta.bsky.social

The Simple Minds documentary Everything is Possible will air on the BBC on 10th December

1980 - John Foxx is interviewed by Smash Hits 🎤🎹⚡️

#vinysanta person, sorry, my timeline is very new, but anything synth-y would be good! 🎅 💿 📀

From 1978

Seeing the extremely tedious acoustic concert from 2016 being repeated on BBC4, it’s difficult to believe that SIMPLE MINDS were once very good 🤦‍♂️ www.electricityclub.co.uk/in-every-hea...

For Throbbing Gristle admirers, there's a fine looking exclusive limited edition 7" single with the latest edition of @electronicsound.bsky.social electronicsound.squarespace.com/shop/p/issue...

Best ever version of a brilliant song 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4Ov...

The fantastic 1982 KRAFTWERK documentary for the Austrian TV series 'Ohne Maulkorb' capturing the classic Ralf, Florian, Wolfgang and Karl line-up at their best with very live footage of the ‘Computerwelt’ tour, contains English subtitles ⚡️🇩🇪 youtu.be/3D5ki6tSYoY?...

Friday night. Can only be 🙏
