I see you're coming to the Turner Sims in Southampton in October too!

A miraculous live gig tape archive. Add n to x.. Stereolab.. Godspeed.. Robyn Hitchcock.. Dinosaur Jr... Is it ok? I hope so. Commercial streamers profit by robbing artists. I doubt I'd have paid for these live recordings. But I did just buy new vinyl because of them.

We remember... George Hersee - BBC engineer 29 December 1924 – 11 April 2001 Age 76 He joined the BBC in 1949 specialising in lens and test card transparency specifications and became one of the leaders in this new field. In the 1960's, Hersee was tasked with creating the first colour testcard. The result is the legendary Testcard F below featuring George's daughter Carole and her toy. George left the BBC after 30 years to work with a private engineering company.

Easter holiday treat. Really indulgent slice of vegan chocolate fudge cake at Cafe Thrive in Southampton, just warmed slightly in the microwave to make it gooey, and eaten at my favourite 'staring' window. #cafethrive #southampton #vegan #caketuesday

@bskybeer.bsky.social First ever visit to Double-Barrelled Brewery in Reading yesterday. Quite a step from Reading Station but hey ho - a lovely day for a stroll. Really friendly tap room, great vibe and a good playlist! #doublebarrelledbrewery #reading #craftbeer #indiebeer

I love Tartarus. We don't see it enough down here in the South.
