We're joining a bill including Idaho, Fat Dog, Protomartyr, Marissa Nadler, Circuit Des Yeux, Micah P. Hinson, and loads more.

The album my band from before Part Chimp released 25 yrs ago just hit some of music streaming platforms. Search for "Sawyer UK". So proud of this stuff. Thanks to Jamie Watson & Human Condition Records that originally put it out way back when. #scottishmusic #fifemusic
Part Chimp have been a thing now for 25 years. These years have given me absolutely the best experiences of my life.
I'm glad that some of our stupid endeavours have found an audience, resonating more with some than others. @jonezyboy.bsky.social

I dip my toes into music journalism with this detailed piece about my love for noise rock band PART CHIMP. I've lost count of the times I've seen this awesome band in sweaty basement pubs! @terekhova.bsky.social knows what I'm talking about.
30 years ago my friend Mark Wilson drew a comic strip for a fanzine that another friend - Kev Bowyer - and I were behind. It contained his vision of some scenes from the life of the wonderful Iain Banks.
Turns out he loved them. #IainBanks #IainMBanks
Just caught on that you caught on to the beginning of the first track we played. If you know you know :)
Last night with Marc Riley and the really welcoming folk in the production team for Riley&Coe @ BBC6Music. Session now available on the BBC website. #partchimp #6music #bbc6music #marcriley
6 music Part Chimp silliness. In session for Marc Riley tonight. #partchimp
Good grief - aye, this is me at the front and Jon at the back in 2007. I'm likely wearing a jumper or a sweatshirt and wondering why I'm sweating.
Here's a family picture of the same location. I'm guessing but I think the date is probably 1986 here.
Wee studio session #partchimp #savagestudio #hastings
Have not seen anyone here to confirm any nominative determinism in the population. Not judging; just made me smile. #plumpton #southernrailways
Couple of days writing and prep for a wee recording session in December #partchimp
post a photo of you from a different era? ..here's me in a tent half way up a hill near Portree on the Isle of Skye. The classy Blue Oyster Cult shirt comes from their show at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 1989, making me 18yo here.
I discovered the movie here on Bluesky. Help @smashism.bsky.social out by paying for a digital copy at the indiegogo campaign here - www.indiegogo.com/projects/pat... 3/3

Christopher Bickel’s “Pater Noster and the Mission of Light” gives me the same joy - though this film arguably has better performances, a tremendous soundtrack, and a more joyfully bonkers script than any indie movie I've seen recently. 2/3

It’s been a long time since I was hooked by weird underground horror such as “Gorotica” (starring Ghetty Chasun who once sent me a valentine but that’s another story) or the stylish insanity of “Cemetery Man”. 1/3
Did not expect to this - thanks for listening.. 👍

Final thoughts today. My conclusion is that many in the US have no idea what's coming for it. Can't/won't believe. 'The institutions will hold'. 'There's always the courts.' Let's hope so. But the plan is shock & awe. Think high-profile scapegoats, a climate of fear, institutional cowardice.

More than a million pallets of unusable PPE has now been burned
One million pallets
Don't get me started 😡😡
thanks man; that's nice of you to say
Don't tell anyone but we were "subtly influenced" by the Lifetime album of the same name (from 1995).. www.discogs.com/master/14886...
More than a million pallets of unusable Covid PPE costing £8 billion have so far gone up in smoke
Billions were spent on unusable protective equipment, with priority contracts handed to associates of Conservative ministers.
When will someone be held accountable?

I can't comprehend any long-term upside to this political outcome. I can only hope it's a short term "win" for selfishnesss & egomania and some kind of sanity will eventually prevail.. but at the very least I feel Brexit no longer stands out as the most prominent political own-goal of our time. 6/6
For all of that, I'm struggling. “Keep calm and carry on" is instinctual, but right now so many things - so much greed, selfishness, and cultural vandalism - make it harder for me, and for so many others. Perhaps more and more people will be struggling after this act of democratic self-harm. 5/6
