David Lynch (20 January 1946–16 January 2025)

The US filmmaker has died aged 78. As a tribute, we have made the extended cover feature that appeared in The Wire 486 - for which Lynch also designed the cover - free to read in our online library.

My 100 most listened albums of 2024 via @listenbrainz.org. A little disappointed in myself to only have 4 albums on here that were released in 2024 -- but that's a target for next year I suppose

The one and only Sir Paul McCartney last night in Manchester! My first time seeing a Beatle live, it was so much fun!

Our letter with 350+ musicians demanding that music labels drop their lawsuit to destroy @internetarchive.bsky.social is STILL ACCEPTING SIGNATURES.

Musicians can still speak out. In fact, we're hoping for a groundswell: www.savethearchive.com

Robbie Basho was a brilliant, eccentric folk singer+guitarist in the 70s who remains massively underrated in my opinion. If you can gel with his unique style of singing, he's well worth a listen. I can't wait to dig into this new boxset!

Hey, remember that really stupid idea I had a few weeks back? A six-and-a-half-hour supercut of live "Marquee Moon" solos? I finished it and wrote about it here.

Just saw @glenmatlock.bsky.social with @neal-x.bsky.social and @kathyvalentine.bsky.social at the Social here in Hull! Awesome gig, and I even finally managed to nab a setlist which Glen was kind enough to autograph!
