This is my new album.

It's instrumental, apart from some crowd chanting on Your Gold, Mr Bridger.

The average tune length is two minutes and eight seconds.

There are fourteen tunes.

It sounds like old telly music.

It's ace.

I'd love it if you listened.

I've love it even more if you shared it.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

A bit late, but Monday this week (Jan 5) marked two whole years since I had my cochlear implant “activated”. To say it has been life-changing, in all the best ways possible, would be an understatement.

Tell you what, if you have a kid and enjoy reading books with said kid then you should get this book. Great opportunities for silly voices contained within.
Gonna start reviewing funny books the way people review unfunny ones. With that in mind I just read Donut Squad: Make a mess. Urgent, necessary and timely, a masterpiece! The voice of a generation! @neillcameron.bsky.social

We're very proud of Aja Dodd, who has gone straight from Mulgrave Audio to BBC Radio 4! Kudos to director @soundliness.com, who heard Aja in our play 'Fellfoul' and cast her in 'The Truth About Phyllis Twigg', a charming and illuminating new play about the birth of radio drama. It's here...
Drama on 4 - The Truth about Phyllis Twigg - BBC Sounds
A light-hearted Christmas drama about giving credit where credit’s due.

On this day in 1991, at the age of 73, Alfie Hinds finally found something he couldn’t escape: the Grim Reaper. You may not know his name, but in the 1950s and 60s, he had (very much) earned the title given him in the Telegraph’s obituary: “the most successful prison escaper in English history” 🧵

We (me and Mina @subtleinternal.bsky.social) think this is pretty extraordinary.
It will be largely ignored but that doesn’t matter, our combined creative force is fucking colossal and we’re only just starting.

I had a pee next to former Scotland manager Walter Smith. We were at a Crosby and Nash concert at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

Massive longshot: in the early 2000s, as you drove into the Suffolk village of Dunwich, there was a road sign (red triangle) warning of toads crossing. Do you have a picture of it that you're willing to share? The one I took has gone missing.

Something nice happened to me yesterday: the conclusion - or maybe not - of a story of interconnectedness, that made the world feel momentarily very small and intertwined.

The story begins on April 21 2024 on a walk I'd taken along the Jurassic Coast for research for a book I was writing.

Got this for Christmas now it’s soundtracking my last day of work for this year. Every good word that’s been written about this is true, an absolute masterpiece of a record. ❤️
"inviting for-the-ages acclaim: the record navigates aching extremes of avalanchingly deep bass and mantric repetition,"

Thx again to Juno Daily for placing The Bug vs @ghostdubs.bsky.social 'IMPLOSION' into their top 5 albums of the year in 2025.
