You may have noticed the links to my playlists are pretty much the only thing I’m still posting on here, for obvious reasons. Find me over where the sky is blue.
Anyway, tonight from 22:00 CET (9pm GMT) my last @radiofm4 Heartbeat show this year:

Interesting that Paul has spoken out and Kate has signed that petition against unlicensed scraping of music for training AI because I interviewed the guy who launched that petition for my radio series, and there he was in pt4 only this morning…

Here he is, Ed Newton-Rex, insisting it can all be stopped if governments (people like Peter Kyle) don’t give in to tech giants, and there’s Holly Herndon disagreeing, but hopeful in a different way.

Austrian (German-speaking) radio listeners: pt 3 in my Oe1 Radiokolleg series is all about stem separation, the reissue industry and how just when you think you’re boycotting all that fake tech-enabled stuff in fact you may be listening to exactly that.

Austrian (German speaking) listeners, if you missed today’s pt 2 of my series on music & AI, about the loss of identity of the machine itself: from Cybernetic Serendipity Music to the many moods of AI assisted songwriting.

Austrian (German speaking) radio listeners: Today it’s the 1st of 4 parts in my ö1 Radiokolleg series on music & AI, which I promise is NOT the “computer wrote a song, could be a hit/I can’t believe Sinatra’s rapping” stuff you hear on the subject. Link:

Thanks to Stefan Zweig Zentrum Salzburg for asking me to write on the background to last year‘s album Holding Hands in Petrópolis / Stefan & Lotte & togetherness in dark times, in defiance or desperation. Now published in the latest edition of their beautiful little zweigheft.

This also gave me a chance to write about the vicarious role Austrian late & post-imperial literature plays for British readers in relation to the UK’s own loss of Empire, something I’d wanted to write about for ages. Contains quotes from @anicegreenleaf and @KeironPim.

London people, the great @AmyRigby is playing tomorrow night at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington, with band (@ianbutton on drums, @thewreckeric on bass) plus @simonloverules in support, and I see there are still tickets.
Ridiculous, but good for you!

I wrote a thing for @radiofm4 about how it's just not good enough to run for the next best platform in the face of fascism. And yes, the irony of posting this here... Auf Deutsch.
