My 36th birthday. Not sure how that happened but here we are!
Hope my neighbours enjoy Dinah Washington. My windows are open and this LP is on loud.

Hold the phone, stop everything. I cannot do anything until I’ve binged The Diplomat season 3 on Netflix.
Been so excited for this ever since season 2 came out last October.

Big news! In September, we’ll be at the Traditional Music Day in Stowmarket, doing our first live episode!
It’ll be recorded it all and will be on our Patreon a few weeks later and then in place as S17/E4. We’re thrilled to doing a live in person episode and there are plans for more next year.

Crap sleep patterns means I find myself at 6:30am listening to a 12mins unaccompanied performance of Lord Bateman which is going into this week’s episode of @intheroud.bsky.social.
Have run out of films to watch? No, but I’m just getting a head start on an already packed day.

The problem with trying to have a proper indoors day off after being away for a few days and getting home late, is that there’s no food in the house, and because it’s a Sunday, the shops don’t open until 10am or 11am.

Gearing up for teaching my 7th (out of 10) session for the EFDSS Monday Folk Singers course.
Am I prepping? Or am I procrastinating by listening to the soundtrack to the bafflingly genius live-action musical adaptation of Popeye (1980) starring Robin Williams & Shelley Duvall?

I’ve been sent a review copy of a new dense academic folk book to read because I’m interviewing the author on the podcast soon.
But it’s an ebook that I can only open on my laptop. So I have to spend EVEN MORE time in my day staring at my computer screen. Great…

How I spent my afternoon.
Digitising a LP soundtrack (which never got a CD reissue) to a musical which barely anyone’s heard of.
Peter Bogdanovich, directer of What’s Up, Doc? (the greatest comedy film ever) made a 1975 musical film using Cole Porter songs. Everyone hated it, it’s wonderful!!!

Feeling good about my life at the moment.
The podcast is going well, I’m singing at folk festivals with Culverake, I’ve been properly back in my diet for a few weeks (lost half a stone again).
Plus the weather’s nice so taking a post lunch stroll up to my nearest trig pojnt outside Stocksbridge.

No sooner has season 4 episode 2 of the @intheroud.bsky.social folk song podcast been released than @mattquinnmusic.bsky.social asked me back to record another one! They're great fun to do, even if we always spend so much time talking that Matt has a huge editing task 😂
