Always good to check out the purveyors of vinyl when you're abroad. Picked up the Associates first album and an Ultravox bootleg here.

Just running through my holiday photos and realised this waterfall in Arnisdale reminded me of someone... 😄

@iambillwaters @sevwave Agree the venue should have mentioned it and offered a refund to those who wanted one. Yes, disappointing not to have seen Ciani interacting with her Buchla, but I still enjoyed the evening and loved hearing 'Four Sequences' in quadrophonic sound in a venue with great acoustics.

@Jimjar @sevwave A disappointing night I thought.. they could have said something on the way in… it wasn’t really a gig more a lecture.

OMG the airline sent Suzanne Ciani's Buchla to Budapest so she was unable to play live at Union Chapel tonight. Rescued the evening by playing a previously recorded gig through the quadrophonic soundsystem then did a Q&A. Hope you're reunited with your synth soon, @sevwave. ❤️

Banning smoking in an outside space is the worst kind of prurient, hectoring, interfering, puritanical bullshit. No health basis to it whatsoever. Just a flat-out act of social control.

The Opening Ceremony begins. A man walks out under a spotlight, pauses, looks around. He shrugs. More spotlights ignite. Ten men, twenty. One hundred middle aged French men, all shrugging in time. An orchestral version of Ca Plane Pour Moi begins to swell. Incredible. #Olympics

@robinrimbaud ...oh, and Stan Shaff, founder of SF's experimental sound theatre Audium who, if he's still alive, must be in his mid 90s (I'm pretty sure he made it through COVID, though, so 🤞)
