The Leaf Library - The Readers Lamp (abridged version) YouTube video by Fika Recordings

Starting TODAY, I have a new weekly time slot on Soho Radio. Join me at NOON when I'll be dispensing an exclusive blend of new & pre-loved zingers as well as welcoming Matt Ashton from The Leaf Library, whose After The Rain, Strange Seeds will be right up there when we reflect on the best of 2026.

After The Rain, Strange Seeds, by The Leaf Library 9 track album

some tasteful british folks were talking about seeing @theleaflibrary.bsky.social play yesterday/last night and they said this record is good and it is

easy comparison is cozy laconic stereolab but with sad strings and more shuffle twinkle sigh melody

Had it on all day, love it

The magnificent Leaf Library at the Rose Hill Tavern in Brighton

Brilliant last night from The Leaf Library at the Rose Hill Tavern on the Brighton leg of their tour. Check out their album, After the Rain, Strange Seeds. With great support from Minor Dents, their cover of Grace Jones’s I’ve Seen That Face Before, chilled me to the bone

Happy birthday to Lee Oskar who left his native Denmark at the age of 18 and headed to America with a harmonica and next to no money. A few years later, he ended up in LA and joined War. He now runs Lee Oskar Harmonicas. Watch the full recording of Slipping Into Darkness at youtu.be/itkwPhZFAHQ?...

This is great footage but heavily features the back of a man's head. I suspect that this is the same man that I have stood behind at every gig I ever attended. He must be pretty old by now.

Très bonne journée avec @stationsimone.bsky.social!
