Gavin Friday at EartH Hackney last night. Absolutely astonishing.

Spring is here!

Don’t know I’ve just not had enough sleep or if Malta can work around their song by just putting the word “KANT” in big letters on the screen behind the singer at Eurovision and going “look, honestly, it’s that word.”

I decided today that I would beat the Binfluencer on my street - yknow, the person that always has the sense to know which bin goes out for collection. Nope. Beaten to it by the Binfluencer. The only other bin out. It's my next door neighbour. Devastated.

Hey, Lewis. You, unlike many other (most) journalists did a good job with Farage this morning, but the point stands for the media as a whole. Farage leads a party with 5 MPs and is all over the airwaves all the flipping time. It's disproportionate.

I'd attach the mic to the body of the worm farm itself, or a bit of wood or something inside the worm farm. And I'd use more than one contact mic. Not that I've ever mic'ed up a worm farm, mind you!

What's making "contact" with the contact mic? Is it just the worms?

Was just running the vacuum cleaner over the stairs using the hose thingy. There's a clunk and I start yelling in pain.
"What's wrong?" she shouts, rushing to my aid.
"I dropped the hoover on my head."
She stood there laughing. Honestly, some people. 🤣

Good god. I've just had a bit of a rummage around the internet and I think we've been friends across various platforms for what must be 20 years!

Thankyou, my longest standing internet friend 😁

I've been having a really rough time these last few days. Really really awful. Actually had a proper panic attack yesterday. First big one in years. Just wanted to say thanks to the fine people that have shown up and given me some emotional and practical support. You're good people.

Just had a random lady come up to me in the street
"I hope you don't mind, but you look like a young Mel Gibson"

Every night I tell myself "I am the cosmos, I am the wind. But that won't get you back again.

Get this book. Quite brilliant.

Ah. Now he has done lots of soundtracks, but he's also got a huge catalogue of original works. Quite a lot of the time, he writes pieces that end up getting used in TV and film. That's a bit different. Also, you should try the Sleep experience. Put it on when you got to bed. Incredible.

How about Max Richter? Sleep is a work of genius and Voices is a really important piece of work.

And, of course, all based on Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Kubla Khan after making a name for yourself based on (literally) sex (Relax) and violence(Two Tribes). Frankie Goes To Hollywood were really quite special.

Having a listen to Welcome To The Pleasuredome for the first time in ages. The sheer audacity of a new band at the time to follow up two massive hits with an album that starts with a weird intro and then a huge slice of dance-prog that lasts for an entire side of vinyl...incredible.

Just had a walk down to the shops and back. Less than 10 minutes each way. The number of drivers on their phones in traffic is insane. Really need a crackdown on this nonsense. I'd propose an immediate 6 month ban if you're caught. No exceptions.

Random thought: How come one never sees pro-life activists outside vasectomy clinics?

Petition: Strip UK Citizenship from Asma al-Assad As the first lady of a brutal regime responsible for unimaginable horrors in Syria, UK citizenship should be revoked from Asma al-Assad.

I've started a petition to strip Asma al-Assad of UK citizenship

Good. Can we do the Brexit referendum again on the same grounds, please?

The cat deleted my bassline

Sigh. The perils of making music whilst also having a cat.

I have many words. Most of them unsuitable for a family audience.

So. South Korea. The President is trying to stage a military coup in order to preserve democracy? What? Have I got this right? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????

And? So has Zelenskyy.

And my brain immediately went... "Dahhhh rump pump dadada"
