A workbench with some kitchen weigh scales on the left, a cutting mat to protect the bench, two hands, and two 1-2-3 blocks that are just big lumps of steel.

Day 3 of #MakerAdvent and today I finally delve into the box of Temu tools and pull out two lumps of hardened steel that I paid Β£7 for.

Hungry Vortex, by Polypores 4 track album

The new @polypores.bsky.social album isn't merely good, it's astonishing. Stephen has been on the form of his life lately, and this is so good it just makes me wonder why I even bother. A joyous maelstrom of kaleidoscopic polyrhythms and gorgeous melodies. polypores.bandcamp.com/album/hungry...

Watching Father Ted’s a Christmassy Ted and remembered this nugget of pop trivia, the priest with the most boring voice Father Fitzgerald (Sean Barrett) in Ireland's largest lingeree section was the cover star of The Smith's single "How Soon is Now" a still from the 1958 film "Dunkirk".

it's it's a wonderful life season. i love this movie to shreds. it is one of the great socialist films made by a staunch anti-communist. one of my favorite scripts. and david lynch talking about it is lynch at his most emotional.

Hydrology (DiN94), by Loula Yorke 6 track album

"Hydrology commandingly recalls and fuses together filaments of vintage kosmische, New Age ambience, Brian Eno, Sam Prekop’s latter-day solo works, whilst adding Yorke’s own distinct and enthralling imprint on top of it all"

35 years today, one of the most important albums of my teenage years hit the shops.

I was hoping to post something in depth about it on Dubstack today but it’s been a hectic few days, so keep β€˜em peeled later this week. 

Until then , big ups to Rodney P and Bionic and everyone involved in this record which helped  form the sonic landscape in my head. 

When I signed to Tru Thoughts back in 2011, the album’s master tapes were sitting on the desk mere inches from where I scrawled my signature on my contract. A little while later I was furnished with multitracks to remix Money Mad which I gave a throwback dancehall relick. A dream come true.

RIP Sipho
