My friend Jeff writes beautiful words and these may be the most touching of all theguardian.com/lifeandstyle… @jeffyoungwriter

Well, this was a fun interview. Atsushi Hoshiai aka Mr 909 is the person responsible for the 909’s iconic hi-hat and cymbal samples. This is the story of the creation of one of the most famous drum machines of all time, the Roland TR-909.

Rupert Lowe, the new MP for Great Yarmouth, is anything but your typical "man of the people." A landed Cotswold toff, Lowe's career spans from his days as the unpopular football chairman of Southampton FC, to his current directorship of 13 corporate entities, including co-director with Akshata Murty (aka Mrs Rishi Sunak) at Digme Fitness which went bust in 2022 after taking £630,000 in furlough cash and owing creditors – including taxpayers – £6.1m. Full story online and in the latest issue: private-eye.co.uk/hp-sauce For the rest, including cartoons, Pseuds, Dumb Britain and all the other regulars, you’ll have to buy the magazine.

This was burnt down last night. The real firestarters are right now comfortably chatting about it in their Gated Trumptons. The worst of them will write a playfully controversial column about it.

RIP Toumani Diabate

This is intolerable The new UK Government must uphold Palestinians’ right to life & access to medical treatment, and hold the present Israeli administration to account for their actions History will record atrocities and apologists without fear or favour

I know most of you would have stayed up and sat by the radio to listen to it but in case you didn’t here’s my @bbc6music Freak Zone playlist from last night (1/1): bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0020p…

Tonight! I am delighted to say I will be on @BBC6Music presenting my Freak Zone Playlist! Peel away the duvet and join me at midnight for my 'Parallel Places'.

Diolch @justplayed @ClashMagazine for your nice comments about the sound on @georgiaruth ‘s Cool Head LP “The mastering is glorious, capturing some of the best drum sounds I’ve heard in an age and positioning Georgia’s voice crisply in the middle of the room”

Super Kevin Campbell. ❤️

Llundain! Wo-oh-oh Llundain! I’m trying to maximise my ego while simultaneously learning Welsh, so covering ‘Laura’ by Endaf Emlyn was the obvious choice. (1/2)

Thanks for playing ‘A Better Story’ again Craig! 🙏🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

We’d love to see you there x

Thanks so much Stephen for such a lovely review. I will cherish that final sentence particularly! (P.s I’m not an egomaniac)🙏🧡🧡🧡

Last Saturday, @adamwalton played our set and interview from @FocusWales on @BBCRadioWales . I was very honoured to be part of such a touching tribute to the much missed Janice Long alongside other great acts. You can listen back to the whole show here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001zl…

Thanks Craig for playing ‘A Better Story’ today on @BBC6Music , your words mean the world to me: “There’s only one word to describe this - lush! The whole album is a thing of beauty” xxx

p.s. the album is out this Friday and this new age chick's bandcamp is open for business: laurajmartinuk.bandcamp.com/…

Boy oh boy! 'Prepared' has got a mega 4 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ in @MOJOmagazine !! "Be healed" "Eno-esque" and "Fourth World" - that will do very nicely. Thank you for the lovely write up @jim_wirth I am thrilled to say the least x
