I was very happy to find several volumes of Joe Gibbs & The Professionals * "African Dub" in Stirling over the weekend. All o the Joe Gibbs label. Now playing: Volume 5 - which so far has a more electronic sound than earlier volumes. #vinyl #dub

@marktranmer.bsky.social Hi Mark. Just got my copy of Think Once More and it maybe a redundant statement but wanted to say how beautiful your music with Roger is, just incredible moments popping through this all the way. Great liner notes from @jonathancoe.bsky.social too. Thanks.

Beautiful compilation from The Montgolfier Brothers. As Jonathan Coe states on the sleeve ‘their songs are too honest, too subtle, too intelligent…beautiful music’

Mojo declared Think Once More - A Journey With the Montgolfier Brothers "the best sadcore you haven't discovered yet". You can purchase a copy from the official Needle Mythology store at @burningshed.com or from all good music retailers.

Picked up my copy of Autocamper “what do you do all day?” from @monorailmusic.bsky.social : a lovely edition - including a nice Reginald Perrin reference: “11 minutes late” is doubled to “22 minutes late … defective axl rod at Southall”. Best of luck with the record! @slumberlandrecords.com #vinyl

On one of my favourite train journeys again this evening: Alloa to Stirling. It only lasts for 8 minutes, but it's very scenic. #railway #train #journeys

Mawkish Twaddle with Bob N. - 7/4/25 This very special live Twaddle, with a decided focus on sounds of a pre-2025 past, was presented on the most ironic Fourth of July in U.S. history. There were new selections from Cho Co Pa Co Cho Co Q...

I did a very nearly impromptu live Twaddle for three nearly hours last night, as the most ironic and unworthy-of-celebrating Fourth of July in U.S. history neared its end. Here’s a recording of it. Thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web of the internet, people were listening as it happened!

Nice article, from which my two takeaways are, a) you should definitely buy this album, and b) why haven’t I been invited onto David Gilmour’s boat?

Dave Leggett has written a feature on the Montgolfier Brothers in today's Shindig! magazine. I will buy a copy. Was sent this by Ken Sweeney (aka "Brian") - thank you.
