Close up of a yellow square sticker with the text "I wish Boards of Canada would make a new album" in green and blue, and a BoC logo in the bottom right corner.

Last year, after a 10 year gap, I started DJing online again. I missed it, and all my records were sitting around doing nothing. It's been fun, especially without the pressure of trying to make it something. I do it for my own entertainment.

Since the first stream, I've had the sticker below in...

A band I knew got a recording chatting to him for a bit and stuck it on their demo CD as a bonus track. Must have only been a year before he passed. Makes me smile that he was memorialised somewhere.

I am, naturally, overjoyed at the possibility of new Boards, and so I wanted to celebrate the only way I know how.

Tomorrow afternoon (Saturday, 2pm UK time) i'll be doing a 100% Boards show. All vinyl + FX covering every stage of their career. Come and keep me company

front of my camera. I play one @boardsofcanada.bsky.social track every week, and the vibe is quite boards-esque. Relaxed, interesting, maybe a bit off-kilter. And anyway, it was a nice little joke to myself. After all, it's not like a new album was ever going to happen.

So this week has been fun.

Yeah yeah, sure, absolutely, @boardsofcanada drop a video confirming new material and I'm supposed to just carry on working for the afternoon?

That is DEFINITELY going to happen.

Well now. This is rather exciting.

They're going to make me get up early on saturday to go for Record Store Day aren't they? Very inconsiderate.

For the sake of argument, what qualifies as 'ridiculous'?

Asking for a friend. Who is in double figures.

Talisker and Rufus, two cats, walking out of a cardboard box towards the camera. Tali is small and calico, Rufus is larger and black and white. Both of them look quite gormless, to be fair.

Agreed.

Rufus, a black and white cat, in close up. He is staring just above the camera, with a half smile and an expression which suggests that there is nothing happening behind the eyes.

Oh my! What a charming gentleman.

We recently adopted two cats, one of whom (Rufus) has similar colouring. However, Pipkin seems an intelligent fellow. Rufus is...less so.

I was just looking at this thinking 'my god, that looks amazing'. And I'm in Glasgow next weekend. I think that's dinner sorted.

Going live on www.twitch.tv/ursamal in 5 mins. It's just started raining here, so some relaxing vibes on vinyl including Boards of Canada, Mort Garson, Little Simz, Portishead, and whatever else I stumble across...

I mean, not with that attitude...

I mean, yes, but also...Australia?

I've been misled before, but increasingly starting to believe.

Could it happen Jon? Could it actually, actually happen???

A 'Dinosaur Smarties' Easter egg.

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

so i silk screened 7 hexagons on VHS copies of Free Willy and have been sending them to electronic music influencers. this will be the "funniest electronic music duo joke" of 2026

Reddit, obvs. I'll send you a link...

Sorry everyone, I can't do any work today, there's rumours of a new @boardsofcanada.bsky.social album and so my brain is melting.

I had a similar reaction to people taking selfies in front of Guernica.

Like...that's really not the right vibe pal.
