Always a great read and nice to see a lengthy feature on Hannah Peel in the latest copy of Electronic Sound @electronicsound.bsky.social

Latest copy of Electronic Sound magazine, featuring Hannah Peel on the cover, lay on top of record player. Orange vinyl 7" record featuring Hannah and BEIBEI WANG is spinning underneath. Picture sleeve for the record is lay to the side.

The latest @electronicsound.bsky.social has delivered a wonderful treat for the weekend.

A focus on @hannahpeel.bsky.social together with her latest collaboration with BEIBEI WANG.

Even better there's a seven-inch featuring their work bundled with the mag too.

What's not to love 🙏x

It’s the first weekend in UK shops for the new Electronic Sound, with sonic polymath HANNAH PEEL on the cover. You can also buy the mag with an orange vinyl seven-inch featuring two tracks Hannah recorded with percussionist Beibei Wang direct from us at electronicsound.squarespace.com/shop/magazine

Anyway, here’s an amusing bit of music writing I recently read for the first time. Phil Sutcliffe in Sounds (via Rock’s Backpages), 1980, on XTC. Andy Partridge has complained about too many “K” words in reviews of his band (“jerky”, etc.)…

If you missed me in my new weekly Monday lunchtime slot on Soho Radio, you can catch up here. For the latter part of the show, Matt Ashton from The Leaf Library gamely tackled a barrage of Smash Hits-style questions concerning bus seat location preferences & chance meetings with Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Wise move. Or notmove, should I say.

7" of Rupie Edwards - Ire Feelings (Skanga) on Cactus label. Released in 1974. Produced by Rupie Edwards.

Very sad to hear legendary producer Rupie Edwards has died aged 80.

Rupie produced early singles by Gregory Isaacs and Mighty Diamonds.

His innovative work peaked in 1974 when this groundbreaking 7" made the UK Top 10...

Synthwave has a lot to answer for.

That’s exactly it. I think it made me feel I lived somewhere that was important, instead of a little place nobody had ever heard of. I’ve just seen the full version of your Pedlar painting, by the way. It’s fabulous!

This A-Z guide to UK punk bands in Sounds in April 1977 was one of a dozen or so things that changed my life at around this time. I’d just turned 16 and I was so fired up that it’s amazing I made it to 17.

Stay Alive will be a Sunday Times Bestseller this weekend. Thanks to everyone who’s supported the book, and everyone who bought, read or listened to a copy.

And to everyone who’s reached out - I’ve had some incredible messages. You’re all too fucking lovely.

Here’s to Stuart: back in the charts.

I grew up in the small Norfolk town of Swaffham and I remember being physically sick with excitement when the story of The Peddlar was told on Jackanory…

The Peddlar of Swaffham travels to old London Bridge and waits three days to find his fortune. The journey is successful- but not in a way you might expect #WyrdWednesday #Norfolk #britishfolklore

Why would you not believe her? I’ve let about 10 monkeys into my house over the years and every single one of them has come in and gone straight up the chimney.

40 years and one week ago precisely, The Wolfhounds got our first feature in the NME, courtesy of Jerry Thackray. I rushed down to WH Smith in Romford, snapped one up and read it – twice – on the fountain wall. I'd been reading the magazine for 10 years by that point. It was all downhill from there.

Some fantastic tracks on that album, especially ‘Chickentown’ and ‘Beasley Street’.

Thanks to @whatafuckingrecord.bsky.social I now know that Bitches Brew and Sign ‘O’ The Times were both released on this day exactly 17 years apart, which might seem like an insignificant number, but it affords me the opportunity to share Miles and Prince jamming on stage at Paisley Park on NYE 1987

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive Jack Karlson’s rallying cry of ‘democracy manifest’ added to national collection of sound recordings that hold historical, cultural and aesthetic significance * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Thirty-five years ago, when Jack Karlson was hauled into a police car outside a Chinese restaurant in Queensland, he couldn’t have known his bombastic speech would be watched by millions around the world, become a meme and now, be preserved for ever in Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive. Karlson’s declaration – “Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest! … What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?” – is one of nine pieces of audio that have been added to the NFSA’s Sounds of Australia collection this year, along with a pedestrian crossing signal and Missy Higgins’ 2004 hit Scar.

Four weeks today for this concert where I will be playing alongside @flcartographer.bsky.social & @sulkrooms.bsky.social at the Capstone Theatre in Liverpool. We're all playing solo sets followed by a three way jam session which should be fun. Modulars at the ready. Hope to see some of you there.

Oh God.
