Revisiting another David Bowie cover. New 2025 mix & a video for our cover of ‘Absolute Beginners’, which we originally recorded in 2019. Another 1950s ‘educational’ video as a source. Full video on our YouTube channel.

It’s always a good day when a @thelilactime.bsky.social CD arrives from across the pond. Lovingly released by @needlemythology.bsky.social , with wonderful liner notes & extra tracks. Highly recommended. ✌️🙂✨

We recorded a very unlikely analogue synth & drum machines cover of @allamericanrejects.bsky.social “It Ends Tonight”. Here’s a clip from the music video, using Dimitri Kirsanoff’s 1934 “Rapt” as its source. Full video on our YouTube channel. #musicvideo #coversong #itendstonight #allamericanrejects

Picked up the 40th anniversary white vinyl of #TalkTalk ‘s debut. Never had it on vinyl. Good songs beneath layers of Simmons drums & synths. Lovely pressing, textured sleeve, & fab James Marsh cover.

David James Ball (1959-2025). Sigh.

Soft Cell was the sound of my youth. Dave Ball’s synth sounds, programming, & production remain influential. A true pioneer.

‘Fragile Heart’ music video premieres tomorrow morning on YouTube. Used the same film-source as ‘Slip Away’ video—Le Double Amour (1925), directed by Jean Epstein. Enjoy this shaky video preview. ✌️🙂✨

Yesterday, we released ‘Fragile Heart’. Helena went to a RenFest. I went record shopping. Silver Apples s/t debut re-release. Fab packaging, noisy press. @ultravoxofficial.bsky.social ‘s ‘Vienna’—Steven Wilson mix RSD release—fab press, sad packaging. #vinyl #silverapples #recordcollection #ultravox

Picked up a Minichord recently. Very impressed. Simple UI, compact scale, solid presets (& programmable), & an arpeggiator. Open source & configurable. Inexpensive. Cheers to Benjamin Poilve for creating this fab instrument!

Happy to get these Beatles albums from a neighbor clearing out a rental apt. Older British pressings! Red & Blue comps were my first ‘grownup’ albums. No idea where my copies went; nice to get them back. Vinyl is in good shape.

Album cover for upcoming Fragile Heart release (1 September 2025). Came about totally by accident. (Concert photo of a certain band, badly blurred.)

Helena tracked vocals for ‘Slip Away’ Sounds fantastic. Excuse the open air iPhone mic & yard-work going on.

Time to mix & master the four tracks.

Cover art next.

Fragile Heart will be released in September.
