Here’s what my phone says about this picture:

The Wild Wild Berry (2012), by Hladowski & Joynes 11 track album

Ok so I don't have anything NEW for Bandcamp Friday but I do have the very last one remaining copy of something OLD.

The final stock copy of 2012's 'The Wild Wild Berry' by Hladowski & Joynes is sitting next to me right now, ready to go. Do us all a favour:

Here for you fwiw. Today's t-shirt as proof of purpose:

In the late 90s I was a regular attendee at Manasseh's Thursday night sessions at The Loughborough Junction SE5. Amazing selector.

Was invited to join Jeffrey Alexander & The Heavy Lidders on stage at The Smokehouse in Ipswich last year, and the resulting mayhem is now scheduled for release as a super-ltd private press LP. Pre-orders go live on Friday via jeffreyalexander.bandcamp.com:

Moving Compositions

Just a quick reminder that I'm playing at this music/dance mash-up at The Junction tomorrow evening:

Recordings please

Weds 25th Feb: CAMBRIDGE
Moving Compositions

Performing as part of the small-scale pit orchestra for the Moving Compositions series of improvised music and dance at The Junction this coming Weds:

The Elephant Man. Srsly: it’s on iPlayer at the moment.

It is my contention that, in general, the best jazz albums have cello on them: Out There, Al-Fathiha, Coon Bid’ness, Live In Berlin 1991 etc etc

Throwing this out to the weirdo Hive Mind: does anyone have a copy of the Godz’ Third Testament on LP or CD? Is there any chance you could share a hi-res scan or photo of the front and rear sleeves? Need them for a thing…

100% love for this collection. So so good.

Cool

I’ve just picked up a copy of the most metal early music cd of all time:

We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen YouTube video by TONES' TUNES

In honor of the death of the great D. Boon here’s the Minutemen documentary www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5IW...

Thanks to Jason Steel for hipping me to the fact that me and MG made @byroncoley.bsky.social's Size Matters end-of-year list in the latest @thewiremagazine.bsky.social. I really need to get some copies of the @vhfrecords.bsky.social LP version across this way for 2026...
