For a while Steve Martin's Wild & Crazy Guy LP was the most successful stand up comedy album in the world, reaching no2 in the US pop chart. It went double platinum, yet it features an entirely visual joke, so there's a whole section of silence
‘Painful to hear!’ How podcasts’ rush to video is turning them into dreadful listens

From Joe Marler’s visual-only stunts to the incomprehensible shuffling sounds Steven Bartlett recently subjected headphone users to, dodgy audio experiences are on the rise

The thread of 2025 despite being started in 2024.
Hello good people of Bluesky. If you followed me on Twitter, you’ll know I’ve been documenting my sporadic trips to my mum’s house by documenting bric-a-brac, old technology which has been hoarded, and a lot of antiquated studio gear, and I thought I share it again here.

Thinking of my old friend Arthur Louis who died on Xmas Eve 2014. An amazing blues/soul/reggae guitarist who was never given his flowers. In 1975 he recorded a reggae version of Knocking On Heaven's Door. He told me someone at Island did a dub mix which never came out www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZro...

My 3rd favourite track from Red Hot + Blue (Neneh and Thompson Twins, thanks for asking). Still can't believe Iggy didn't go to Pia Zadora's house www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3YS...

I don't know his name, but if there'd been an Oscar category for Guy Yelling At A Duck From A Bus back in 1986, then this guy would've won it

There’s a section on Now called VHS Vibes which is mostly 80s/90s classics. But did these two even get a VHS release?
Both came up in conversation when I prerecorded my next Rongorongo show with Patrick from Cymande. Catch it on the 30th 4-6pm on Soho Radio

A masterpiece. Cristina was married to ZE label boss Michael Zilkha, which made her heiress to the Mothercare Fortune at the time
Day 5: Produced by Don Was, this was on the ZE label’s 1981 compilation 'A Christmas Record’ as the track before ‘Christmas Wrapping’ by The Waitresses. It deserves to be just as well known!

I don't think I've ever so many pictures of Chris Rea as I have in the last 24 hours, and it's just dawned on my how much he looked like Peter Wyngard

My latest Dubstack offering is here. This time I've dug out a discarded track (and a new dub) from my thwarted Trojam project from 2011, and I've taken a look at how Uptown Top Ranking by Althea & Donna came about. Read/download here... rentparty.substack.com/p/chapter-37...

Very sad to read this news. Ken made some of the most beautiful music of the last 3 or so decades. Big love to Ken's family and the Dust brothers. I'll think of him every time I head to the Blackwall Tunnel theblackdog.bandcamp.com/track/be-ton...

The LP obscured by Steve Martin is the odd one out - Terry Snyder’s Persuasive Percussion which features a track which sounds suspiciously ghostly www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPGA...
Like the rest, Joseph Albers did the cover. He was hired by his former student Charles E Murphy
