I was going to wait until 10:01 on 01/10 but frankly I'm too excited (and not that excited by numerology).

SEA OTTERS, the 2nd LP by my almost-techno side The Bionics, is out now. Please enjoy and repost to support tiny artists, thank you very much x

Oh I did misunderstand in that case, sorry.

Phew, bet you're glad the NRA have mobilised to defend people from all this.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 11d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?

Yes, all those, with a little dab of heroin. That's the only explanation for me finding it so moreish.

Danger, ghosts etc. Mudford @danmud.bsky.social · 8h

YES - when I go into record shops now I think "I've got most of this" and barely browse, but wandering around Bandcamp is an absolute treasure hunt, in the best way.

Haha!

Good, I was hoping someone would start this.

One food I can't not eat - Celery

One film I will always watch if I stumble across it on telly - Bridesmaids

One song I will always get up and dance to - The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground.

I’ll cheer this up with one food I can’t not eat, no matter how hungry I am, one film I will always watch when I stumble across it on telly and one song I have to get up and dance to.

Pizza. God, I love pizza.

Jaws. I’ve had some pointless late nights just because I’ve flicked onto ITV4.

The Unfinished @theunfinished.bsky.social · 18h

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand:

Tinned sweetcorn. Utterly revolting.

About Time. Utterly revolting.

Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Utterly revolting.

I read a book about pet euthanasia but I couldn't put it down.

Andrew R @excelpope.net · 9h

I read a book about building a career in computing, but I just couldn't get into IT.

I tried to read a book about self-hypnosis but I kept feeling sleepy

Good, it's not just for Christmas you know.
You should have a strawberries and cream one for afters.

Boo, and no problematic presenters either.

Danger, ghosts etc. Mudford @danmud.bsky.social · 1d

Ha I was just about to go looking for the Ultra Vivid Scene video in amongst that lot. What a great show it was, half an hour of Yello at teatime.

I love that video too. Pretty sure I still have the VHS of the episode of Snub TV it was on.

Yes, by the time it gets to the verse about money I'm in near-hysterics at its bathos. I remember lying on my bedroom floor playing it on the record player after I got The Letter from my student bank that indicated they'd finally caught up with me, and it honestly pulled me out of the pit.

That word makes me wince every time I hear it. It doesn't seem to carry the same weight in the US, so it crops up too often in comedy for my comfort.

Weirdly, this song has always cheered me right up, and often made me laugh out loud.

"It's selective!"

Danger, ghosts etc. Mudford @danmud.bsky.social · 1d

Oh christ, I still blanch at the time I cut a hole in my bedspread with some nail scissors, and tried to blame the dog. She was sitting on my bed at the time and I even went "Oh, Soda" in the best mournful voice I could manage at seven years old.

Looking forward to reading this. I like the Beatles music but I love the stories of and around them even more.

Samira Ahmed @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social · 1d

My BFI Classic on The Beatles’ film A Hard Day’s Night is available to preorder now. Here’s the story behind it. I love the cover - inspired by the film poster and a key theme in the book: the power of television in transmitting the Beatles to the world. samiraahmed.blog/why-i-wrote-...

A like is nice. A repost might mean one more CD sale… ah go on.

Danger, ghosts etc. Mudford @danmud.bsky.social · 1d

Reposting this for the weekday people. I'll update the success of this plan so that other DIY musicians/artists can decide whether it might be good for them or not.

The economics of self-releasing music as physical media, a thread.
My first self-released CD is SEA OTTERS by The Bionics, an album of Not-Quite-Techno made in a very analogue way, and on our Bandcamp page along with 17 back catalogue treats.
