Portland Vows

@stephantorre As for the adults, the stats are even more depressing

One out of four children do not feel happy at junior Parkrun.

@thirdkindtapes And it looks like you found them in the woods, which is exactly where they are most at home

I’ve found 3 more copies of Portland Vows - ‘The Witches Of Hopwas Woods (circa.1984)’ thirdkindrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-witc…

@RapidEyeElectro I have always thought, at the back of my mind Cheese and onions I have always thought, that the world was unkind Cheese and onions Do I have to spell it out? C-H-E-E-S-E-A-N-D-O-N-I-O-N-S, Oh no

@Bob_Fischer @JohnJaques That's an amazing gift. Wow. I can barely think of anything cooler!

In 'The Rebel', Tony Hancock paints a terrible self-portrait. My friend @JohnJaques painted me a lovely replica of it for my 49th birthday, it's on the landing.

Forty years ago today. "Foogies" was a swear word of my own invention, although I've no idea why a day off school due to textbook 'Fatcher's Britain industrial action would make me want to cuss and fuss. Brilliant day "mucking about" on the moors with my best mate. Pic to follow.

Last night I dreamt I was litter-picking with Bernie Sanders. This could be developed into a TV series: 'Litter-Picking With... '

@Strategictaper What if they were following you around recording you making field recordings?

@thirdkindtapes @funkentechno Ours is unfazed by anything... to the point where we don't know if he's extremely tough or just unwell

@funkentechno They’re such hooligans. Mine is like that if someone unwelcome enters the territory. He’ll keep chasing them down after a beating like ‘I ain’t done with you yet’

This is the most thrilling chase scene I've ever watched

@peterliversidge Stop it!

It’s morning again…

@Strategictaper Few things piss me off as much as back garden trampolines. They perfectly embody what is so wrong with our world. Please do not ask me to explain further.

@thirdkindtapes @epicentredragon ...while assembling shelves

@epicentredragon Recorded at home, self-released or released by a friend or ‘boutique’ indie label

@RapidEyeElectro Whether or not you're any good is up to everyone else to decide.

@peterliversidge It's relentless isn't it

It’s morning again…

@thirdkindtapes @Strategictaper What? It's not a real dog? Go shit on all my dreams why don't you!

@Strategictaper I hate to tell you this but if you’ve ever listened to a popular song that uses the dog barking sound on an electronic Yamaha (or possibly Casio) keyboard, then you’ve listened to a sample. That’s not even a real dog on there 🤢

@Bob_Fischer @MrsSimonTemplar ...and also to fit in napping

@MrsSimonTemplar Wait till you're over 50. You have all of the above feelings with an added sense of impending mortality.

@robinrimbaud @Rockfieldstudio I just don't think I'd get any work done!

One of the secret joys of recording at the legendary @Rockfieldstudio is the new friends you can make 😊

@robinrimbaud @Rockfieldstudio One of the secret joys of making friends with these lovely folk is there's a recording studio just round the back

@magnuspcee @han2thet No, I think many people really do need crutches.

Are we sure this is fake?

@RapidEyeElectro Have you read Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt? Very different, but really enjoyed it. I think they're making it into a TV series - which makes perfect sense.

@RapidEyeElectro He's fantastic! Starve Acre is maybe my favorite. Anything else you'd recommend along these lines?

@thirdkindtapes Agreed. I love a lot of the visual aesthetic, but I'm mostly disappointed by the music tbh
