independent label hive mind, please! I'm thinking of changing digital distributor. Any recommendations? Have used CD Baby for a while, but frustrated by their need for only 16 bit recordings. Value ease of use, low cost, and good quality audio. Also ability to pick & choose platforms.

It’s known for making submarines. So how does this remote Cumbrian venue attract the world’s boldest musicians? In a park keeper’s lodge in Barrow-in-Furness, Full of Noises has hosted the likes of Julia Holter and Lonnie Holley – and is a model for why arts funding matters

I had the honour of sharing work here last year. Delighted to see it getting well deserved attention.

Lovely performance & harmonies. Reminded me of Mary Hopkins's goosebumps delivery on Water, Paper and Clay.

Suzy Mangion's Music of Uncertain Lives (video on the top right), with visuals by Andrea Pazos. Created for Delia Derbyshire Day 2025. A dreamlike exploration of randomness, numbers, telepathy, and anxiety. Headphones recommended.

Basically, every time you stream a TC track, the artist is out of pocket. They actually pocket it. It's the same revenue that other platforms pass on to the artists, they just keep. On the distributor's statement it's like $25 earned, $0 paid. WTF Spotify. We're investigating alternatives.

moving closer to leaving Spotify - issue is whether to remove the music from there, leave it but don't add any new releases, or only do limited/preview versions of new releases on Spotify, directing people to other platforms to hear it all. Maybe a tiny track about how Spotify rip people off?

BBC SCHOOLS - NEAR AND FAR: When The Wind Blows (TX 2.2.83)
Mary Downing presents this long running primary school series, with it's creepy opening sequence! We learn all about the damage that strong winds can do to the land and to the people who live there. Recorded in Spring Term 1983. No continuity here, just a glimpse of the Dots Clock. From my own perso BBC SCHOOLS - NEAR AND FAR: When The Wind Blows (TX 2.2.83)

50 YEARS AGO TODAY: BBC Schools' Near And Far talks wind. When people talk about unsettling theme tunes they understandably reach for Picture Box first but that's because more of them haven't heard this Radiophonic Workshop set to maximum creepiness.

of all the beautiful Frog & Toad stories this is possibly the best, and of all the lines in the books, this is the most moving, and of all the pictures in the books, this is the most poignant and full of love. A lot of love for these books.

I just watched the opening credits of ep 1 on youtube, and I'm hooked already - bbc radiophonic I presume, or at least something similar. Austere and direct and strange at the same time. A problem I have with contemporary documentary series is the dial is constantly set at 'high drama'

I haven't seen Connections, but am going to seek it out now. Along with The Ascent of Man, Life on Earth, and Ways of Seeing, it's from a favourite period of TV for me. It's the seriousness of tone that I love in these, and the breadth of knowledge expectation.
