Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...
Yay! Look what I found today!
Happy @recordstoredayuk.bsky.social!! My acoustic album is officially available now for the first time ever on vinyl.
Available from your local participating record store. If you can't get one today be sure to ask your local shop to order a copy for you.
Hope you enjoy!
Oh great - will look out for it!

I’d missed it! Thanks for sharing! Awesome!!
The Untangled Knot is a community based, collaborative music project focusing on issues of inclusion, freedom, and the things that make our local areas special to each of us. What makes your own area special?

As I keep saying: Because no matter what abusers take from their victims, they don't want to take the blame. And one of the prerogatives of power is to be in charge of blame, and abusers routinely exercise that power to make their own acts someone else's fault.
"I don't want to happen but it probably will" is classic abuser language: "look what you made me do." Except it's not on the scale of a household, but of a nation of 90 million and millennia of civilization.....
My thoughts summed up by Edwin Star - m.youtube.com/watch?v=ztZI...
The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.
The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.
Words aren't enough - it's time for action.
Never thought I’d see the day when a US President threatened to carry out a Holocaust and such a significant chunk of the US population are ok with that.
Thanks so much!
I #JustListened to the debut release of @theuntangledknot.bsky.social, a collaborative EP(?) by @johnreed.bandcamp.com, @racheltaylorbeales.bsky.social, @shirley-sings.bsky.social and Beth Porter.
It's Folk in a variety of styles; all very lovely in their own right.
Highly recommended!
However...
... however, this is apparently intended as a much larger project, with workshops, albums and concerts.
@johnreed.bandcamp.com wrote about it on his blog and I recommend giving that a read. And also to follow @theuntangledknot.bsky.social to keep up with what they come up next! 👍
Thanks so much for listening and sharing. Yes - we’re excited to start collaborating on completely new songs imminently!
I’m celebrating @recordstoreday on the 18th April 2026 with an exclusive vinyl release of my Acoustic Album - the first time this has been available on vinyl!
Released exclusively on Crystal Clear LP for Record Store Day.

Thank you to everyone who's contributed stories so far about how #LibrariesChangeLives and sorry to all i've not replied to today. Hectic one and in the studio with the band all weekend but i'll catch up in between. Keep em coming, these are brill.
@robinince.bsky.social could you share pls 🙏
Lucky makes me think of other Harry Dean Stanton films like Paris Texas, and aldo his role alongside Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke - and on completely different note - I think maybe I might have muddled Nina Conti’s sunlight with that imaginary book I conjured the other week!!
What lovely feedback! Thank you!
Haha!
It is indeed!
John has written a lovely blog post about the Untangled Knot creative performance collaboration and community project.
That was a very fun morning!
