We’re just back from a fun day in London.

“..and what time do you call THIS?!”

Oh, the grand old duke of york
He ██████████████████
He ██████████████████
And he ██████████████████

I’m late to this conversation and may have missed the context. Which Aphex Twin album cover is this again..?

The French word for “retirement” is “la retraite”. The Spanish word is “la jubilación”. It feels like this is a pretty good insight into the collective psyche of both countries..

Nurse! He's out of his bed again..

Presented without comment...

I look forward to reading more Guardian articles speculating on the excretory habits of forest-dwelling ursines and the religious proclivities of supreme pontiffs..

Just sent it again now. Thank you! :)

@filmsradiance.bsky.social Hi - I’ve sent a couple of emails to you about licensing Häxan for theatrical screenings but haven’t received a reply yet. Is info@radiancefilms.co.uk still the best email to get you on?

All set up to run live sound for the first time in Germany!

Hugely looking forward to this! Get your tickets now. :)

I can confirm that in Maggie’s case, it’s pretty accurate.

Day 1 at Casa Verde. Sophie is installing mosqueteras to keep the bugs out which the geckoes don’t catch. I’m sawing my way through the redundant roof beams in the lounge.

Just paused for a cold beer and this is the view from the terrace. It’s a very manageable 34C (the weather not the beer..) 😁

My 2025 silent film tour is now on sale and it's shaping up to be my busiest yet! I'll be touring my new live scores to Nosferatu (1922) and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920) this autumn.

We had 1600 people turn up at yesterday's Knights' Tournament at Kenilworth Castle - that's twice as many as the total number of right-wing nutters *nationwide* who turned out yesterday to protest outside hotels allegedly containing asylum seekers. Just sayin'..

Saw Echobelly on their first tour in 1994 at Coventry Uni when I was 16 and they took the place apart. Still one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to.

Saw Oasis the following week at the same venue and they were (and there’s no polite way of saying this) fucking shite.

Took me a minute..

Civil service interns must all be working class, government says Internships will only go to students from poorer families in a push to make Whitehall more working class.

7% of the population are privately educated. 93% of the population are state-educated. On that basis, surely the fairest and most representative way to regulate civil service internships is for the annual intake to be based proportionally on this?

Ozzy Osborne has died, and the UK is building HS2. All in all, this is a good time to be a bat

See also: a Precision is the perfect bass on which to learn and the Musicman Stingray is the perfect pro instrument.

Hard agree. A Telecaster is basically the perfect electric guitar and all subsequent iterations of the instrument are basically redundant.

Judging from the picture that's only half a concertina, right..?

The statue inspired the heroic statue of St Christopher in The Children of Green Knowe, which saved the day in the end by electrocuting a demonic tree called Green Noah. They don’t make kids TV like that nowadays, eh? Not since the woke BBC banned its staff from dropping acid during work hours..

Went up to the bar for third time due to delayed flight.

BARMAN: Delayed?
ME: ‘Fraid so.
B: Who are you flying with?
M: Ryanair
B: Bandits.
M: Well.. yes. But they’re very affordable bandits.
B: (handing me drinks) That sounds like going to the loan shark cos he has a special offer this week…

The Lion, The Witch and The Garderobe..

All set up A Brief History of Music in Greenwich at the Old Royal Naval College’s chapel. We usually prefer to play in splendid and opulent spaces, but I suppose it’ll have to do..

The Old Windmill in Coventry city centre is still known exclusively as Ma Brown’s to its clientele. She ceased to be the licensee in 1932. But there’s a good chance if you ask directions to the Old Windmill, most Coventrians won’t know where you mean.

“Honorarium”. I love that they always think “derisory tip” will sound more appealing if they say it in Latin.

My standard response when someone asks me me to do something for free and that it will be good exposure is "but what if I die of exposure..?"
