Sad to hear of the death of J Saul Kane (aka Depth Charge). This banger was a staple at our home from home - Heavenly Social at Turnmills, back in 1996, when the unknown Dust Brothers played it to death with their own epic twist. Whatever happened to them I wonder?

Mealworm Deal
Weevil Nemesis
Fibonacci Porridge
I could go on. No, I really could
Whoop @scarfolk.bsky.social is on Bluesky. As someone who keeps an enormous list of crap imaginary band names (it’s a thing), this is very much in my comedy/ music Venn diagram sweet spot.

Met Sam and the Earth Percent crew at Glastonbury this year, and love what they are doing. Such a simple and clever idea open.spotify.com/track/60CiRI...
If it wasn’t for the fact UK governments hit the ground running the day after they are elected, I wonder how many of the loonier cabinet appointments in recent years would have happened if they had to be approved by parliament? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Mischief making at its finest. Reminds me of when a group opposed to the objectification of women bought Poland's longest running 'erotic' magazine, published a final issue raising awareness of all the things the magazine was guilty of, then shut it down.

There’s a new government policy on reinvestment into culture and the creative industries this morning. Is the live music industry going to comply with it voluntarily or have it forced upon them?

Potentially encouraging development for community-oriented grassroots spaces, but it won’t help venues struggling with the recent reduction in business rate relief, many of which will fold before a new fairer rates system starts in 2026/27. #RateCultureNow

Hello Bluesky. Seems apt to start with the most profound image and words in human history youtu.be/MnFMrNdj1yY?...
