Listen Through the Brown Window

I think I may be the last to know this.

But the late great Janice Long was a contestant on the very first episode of 3-2-1?

Thank you for listening in 2025! 🙏

So I managed to snag part 2 of this Johnny Pearson album at a bargain!

Lovely it is too!

Elizabeth Parker, Future Perfect and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop “I was thinking of nuns in a deserted abbey,” says Elizabeth Parker with a smile. “Maybe they’re ghostly nuns? They’re singing, but then some kind of great force comes along and destroys them all! …

And here's my chat with the hardly-ever-interviewed Elizabeth Parker about her 2023 @buriedtreasure.bsky.social compilation Future Perfect, with a bit of added Timelash and David Attenborough. I absolutely love interviewing Radiophonic Workshop people.

So that Oliver bloke came clean saying he ain’t the new Doctor and that’s cool.

But I’m deffo digging the sort of alien/ androgynous / Bowie style figure this lad cut.

Some notes on the design of the Inter-City 125 logotype (and the rationale for the dodgy chubby symbol version)

Re-pushing this because it is absolutely deserved and delightful.

Give @bobfischer.bsky.social and @andrewtsmith.bsky.social a crafty follow because they‘re mad and clever and are the brains behind the awesome @mulgraveaudio.bsky.social

It’s a small world, Chris!

And you’re both very lovely!

apologies @hiddenbritain.bsky.social - I mis-named it.
Wrens Nest !

Too tired!

A darkly delightful sonic experience from the brilliant @hiddenbritain.bsky.social

‘The Wren’ is a haunting and hypnotic journey — disturbing in all the right ways, yet utterly enthralling.

A thought-provoking, beautifully crafted piece straight from the very heart of the Black Country.

A resounding and effortlessly assured premiere set from @scholarspeak.bsky.social  — seamless from the start.

Lushly melodic, richly textured, and impeccably paced.

The visuals matched the performance beautifully, creating a spellbinding, experience that lingered long after the final note.

Same Room as last year and still a great view!

#Whitby #SwitchedOn

What you doing this weekend?

Why not come to Whitby and enjoy a weekend of knob twiddling electronic jiggery pokery?

I’ll be doing a spot of DJ’ing (expect weirdness) and our very own @12hrfoundation.bsky.social will be playing live too - among countless other amazing artists!

This is just mad and lovely

Question:
What camp do you fall in here???

It really should have been turned into a proper series.

Oi Oi! Thank you for finding us, Lucy!

Please be sure to spread the word! 🙏
