Betting is a corrosive, corrupting force in sport. Can't get through 5 minutes of a game on Sky without betting ads everywhere & plugs for Sky's own betting service. And here is The Athletic writing about the Turkish betting scandal with, oh lookee here, a betting ad buried in the story. Nuts.

Man Utd managerial life span post Ferguson running at 1.2 per year. Have they thought of hiring Trypanohyncha Ocellus? Would definitely give them new perspectives.....

I know you're not supposed to subject Jurrassic Park-Rebirth to any kind of logic test but show me a man who's gonna walk any further than 1 foot from relative safety just to pee then I say pshaw & bunkum!

I can honestly say the undead are in rude health after seeing both Sinners & now new HK Taoist Zombie film Posession Street (horror flicks rarely get made in HK under draconian new censorship). Posessipn Street is a sweet coming of age film with guts set in a dying shopping mall, natch.

In Brazil the top corner of the net is known as the owl's nest. Do you like our owl's nest?

So if you fancy a binaural bugging out on BBC R3 tonight then wrap you ears around A Symphony of Cicadas for Between the Ears. Nature's most resonant insect sings songs of love & reproduction.

Marcin Dudek's latest work is his first fusion of sound & sculpture. All based around the sound & fury of the North London derbies at THFC with our mics pointing at the fans. (ahem 3-2 & 1 Nil to the Arsenal) but this is so much more. Go see & hear for yourself!

Head to OOF. Football's only art gallery @THFC N19. Get your ears & eyes bent out of shape by Marcin Dudek's The Ground Harbours the Soul. A twisted fusion of sound & sculpture exploring the individual & the crowd. All fuelled by the sonic passion of the NLD. Sound design by Jon Calver & me!

My dad, Dave Burman, died unexpectedly in October. He was 93 & led a rich life, filled with jazz & stories. 1 story was an unlikely trip to Sopot, Poland 1956. Height of the Cold War. Dad & a scratch band of innocents blew into history. This is that story. Love ya Dad

Hutter is a key character in Nosferatu and also manager of Monaco who play us at the Em tonight. What kind of omen is that?
Will our regular back 4 rise from the dead, do we put a stake through our opponents or should Mikel grow his finger nails really long?All of this takes place at night. Fact!

Here's to Earl Holliman. Star of the first ever episode of the immortal Twlight Zone (Where is Everybody?) & much more. Hopefully,he is now distilling 100% proof spirits with Robby the Robot in the great Cinerama Dome in the sky. R I.P. Earl

I don't do mawkish spiritual vibes as a rule but it's 30 days since my dad died. We did prayers at Edgwarebury Cemetery. T.B.H he was profoundly irreligious. But the R.A.F. museum is a wing tip away. He took us there-a lot. So I went & Lo! Spitfire & rainbow. A Mk1 rainbow @ that. Love you dad.
