///dreamer.national.dispensed This is the what3words address for a 3 metre square location near South Molton, Devon.

Out of 27 volunteers we had 3 cancel and 20 just not show up, so I’m getting stuck in with four of em.

If you are near Exmoor / Barnstable and can be here any time today even for a few hours, please please come. Park on the gravel and follow the track opposite the gate.

Casting call! Looking for a woman voice actor, 50+ who is versatile and a vocal chameleon / can play many different bit parts in an audio comedy.

We’re recording in London on 13th & 14th April. This is a paid opportunity. Actor does not need to be autistic!

For the first time since I started Moonbuilding Weekly two years ago, we have no adverts this week. We are supported by 54 of our 1,800+ readers who have a paid subscription. If the labels/artists we write about don't think we're worth supporting, I think we might have run our course.

You are very much top of my list the minute I have new releases to advertise - which will be this year, and hopefully more than once - but I realise that’s not much help in the here and now.

I was gonna say Pete @petesasqwaxbeatcult.bandcamp.com would probably know something about that!

Yes we absolutely did!
Proper internet community business - this place definitely has the ‘98 - ‘08 music forum vibes. In a good way :)

Yes! I was just gonna reply to say I didn’t remember that mix, probably because I wasn’t on the Unkle forum all that much, but I was definitely on the Ninja one rather too much :)

It’s been shady on my app for a couple of days, showing an empty feed a lot of the time, leading to hitherto unknown levels of productivity elsewhere :)
