Here comes a shameless plug for MWPR (mwpradio.co.uk) an online radio station I co-founded with @ian-dean.bsky.social in lockdown. We’ve had some nice feedback from our lovely audience. It lurks on ‘Streema’, ‘Streamitter’, ‘Live Radio’ and many others - there’s no escape. End of plug, I thang you!

Even if I didn't own a car, this would make me want to buy SOME FUCKING ESSO.
Factoid: It’s the weekend & time for a useless fact (so what’s new?) but this long-running tune for UK Esso TV advertising from the late ‘70s & well into the ‘80s was composed by Jeff Wayne, the same person who composed the musical version of ‘War of the Worlds’…

THE PHANTOM RASPBERRY BLOWER OF OLD LONDON TOWN: Written by Spike Milligan for a 1971 Ronnie Barker vehicle, and famously remade in 1976 as a serial for The Two Ronnies. Brilliant, bonkers, and, for 6 year-old me, absolutely terrifying.

Stop posting sunrise / sunset photos. Nobody gives a shit and 9 out of 10 are just boring to look at. Yes it's beautiful but the pictures aren't. Just enjoy the beauty of the moment.

QDL is an #ambient project I’m immensely proud to create with Doc Rossi which reflects many youthful years spent splicing tape together and recording fretted instruments in new ways. New work coming along early 2025. Meanwhile enjoy Quotidian Dream Lab In The Distance on your favourite platform

A minor point but I do wish coverage of Gregg Wallace would stop using pics of him topless showing the Millwall tattoo he has on his chest.
It's likely to give our supporters a bad name.
