I’m so happy with this comp. No acetates or anything recovered from a degrading quarter inch… all songs that will be familiar to anyone who woke up to Wogan/Ray Moore/Steve Jones in the 80s. www.acerecords.co.uk/weds-morning...

One of my fave short stories I've ever created, this one in tandem with the illustrious and masterful @dustinweaver.bsky.social. It's... The Adventures of Thing Thing: The Blue Cheese Affair.

A brown record sleeve with Greek writing and two pictures of a woman surround by traditional Greek patterns.
Greek, 1977. Laïkó - urban folk music. Wonderful voice and the music feels like it might tip over into something psychedelic at any moment. It never quite does - but it sounds a bit like those Breton bands of the era that were plugging in. Interesting.

Photo of a woman resting sidesaddle on a bicycle that's parked in front of a building's outside staircase. The woman is wearing a miniskirt and has a small overnight bag next to her.

Rebecca's World by Terry Nation - Alice In Marinus putative children's novel series-initiator from Dalek creator, developed in tandem with Davros and followed in short order by Survivors and Blake's 7; deceptive whimsy masking more menace then all three combined.

Since the government is about to introduce a social media ban for under-16s based largely on vibes – and Jonathan Haidt's shitty book – in the hopes it boosts its popularity (it won't), I'll re-up this.
If we're banning under-16s, why not over-60s?
BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’
It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.

Latest edition of our annual mix of rarities and oddities from the far-out reaches of the Shakeyverse. This year, we’ve taken the opportunity to, er, shake things up with an hour’s worth of weird/wonderful Neil covers.

“As I get older I become bolder. What we want in this room is what the public want. I think that people want something quite simple: hope that things can be better. This is about transforming our economy, our politics and our society” 💪
