REALLY GREAT!

THIS IS GREAT!

When you watch a film on a sodden wet Sunday afternoon this is EXACTLY how it should start…

If I had a pound for every James Joyce novel I’ve read I’d have thirteen pence.

Just had email letting me know that Wolfgang Flür (ex Kraftwerk) is playing nearby. This is exciting for me, so I’m having a wee listen to his stuff, which I’ve never heard before. And it’s impossible to take seriously as he and Adam Buxton appear to share a voice. 🤷‍♂️ youtube.com/watch?v=RhqM...

Fully deleted my Amazon account today. Feels good. Don’t know why it took me so long. Just Google (tricky) and Apple (Very Tricky) to go now to complete @markhurst.bsky.social’s instructions fully. #Techtonic #WFMU

Just been for my stupid little run so I can pretend that I have some aspect of control of my stupid little life.

Morning everyone. Hope you slept well. Have a good day today. We must rise up as one and hunt and kill the billionaires who hate us and have stolen our future. Stay hydrated!

Podcast listening quality has improved dramatically in the last week as Scott Carrier’s currently posting some of his Stone Cold Classic Radio Features on his “Home of the Brave” feed. Even if you’ve heard this stuff before, it’s still an absolute joy. Listen. pca.st/podcast/d3b3...

If music is therapy, who’s your therapist? youtu.be/wsRlO4dQJGI?...

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case?

Headphones on and giving my ears a treat on a dreich Saturday morning with the latest bit of @ohno00oo.bsky.social goodness. Three hours of mad radio on trees. Honestly, what could be better? #Trees #Radio #GoodRadio #GoodRadioAboutTrees www.wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

I’ve changed my parkrun strategy. Instead of starting strong, holding a steady pace for most of it before sprinting to the finish, I now don’t bother going at all and then hop on Strava just after 10am and chuck a bit of kudos around. #parkrun #Strava #bedsores

Got more logs today. Which means I’ve spent all day moving logs. Tired now.

I’m currently illegally listening to the new Richard Dawson LP which landed on my doorstep a day early.

Today in spoiled pets: Oscar Peterson was lying on my wife’s heated blanket so I turned it on for him and he seems quite happy about it.

Just nipping out for a bit to burn down the big house that sits mothballed all year waiting for the one weekend that the Austrian millionaire family that owns it and all the land around here come visit to spend time murdering the local game birds. youtu.be/XWzzvnPOyTM?...

I just bought a Dick Gaughan CD from a charity shop for 10 pence. I’ve never listened to Dick Gaughan before (everyone has weird gaps in their musical knowledge, no?) so I thought I should address this. I am now raging at myself for wasting the last forty-two years not listening to this album.

I don’t know any traditional headgear worn by midwives on Baffin Island.

I went to a gig last night: a thread 🧵 It was Petey USA at St Luke’s in Glasgow. Look! There he is at the venue!

Just unsubscribed from every news, political and football podcast as an act of self-care.

Someone spotted that the village defibrillator battery was flat and posted this fact in the village’s Facebook group. Can’t stop thinking about the random guy who replied to the post saying “Please get this fixed before I next visit”. You on a myocardial infarction world tour there chum?

The answer appears to be “more than two”.

This Leyton Orient game is an interesting test of just how few Spurs players you need in a team to be able to beat Man City. #COYS

This weekend I will mainly be doing things with music files and old ipods and random bits of old audio tech in a bid to Get The Hell Off Spotify.

It's beginning to feel like I've Been training my whole life for nothing I've been meaning to tell you something You gotta lean into life, just a little youtube.com/watch?v=a1Wv...

I went to the dump earlier and, while I was there. met a man who I went to primary school with. He was telling me that he had FOURTEEN grandchildren. Bit confused as to how he’s managed this as I am still (clearly) only twenty-seven years old.

Wait, Fugazi have more than one song? Who knew?

I’m still Very Upset at the Drapers for just leaving all the rubbish from their picnic.
