You know, I'd actually forgotten it was #blackfriday and bought myself two second hand books about cassettes from dealers on eBay and some tape loop spares from Tapeline ("Super duper cassette tapes since 1985").

No marketing nonsense required - just good prices and honest small businesses ✌️

I’m reading a book about plagiarism in music and I'm taking notes.
I’m reading a book about geology. The start was a bit rocky.
I’m reading a book about averages, it’s a bit mean

Went to see Inside No. 9 Stage/Fright today in Liverpool - really good. Pemberton and Shearsmith really are masters of their genre.

Aw no, just read Mani has died, only 63. Fantastic bass player. IMHO Mani and Reni's chemistry made The Stone Roses utterly unique and irresistibly danceable. RIP dude.

“Streaming doesn’t create community — physical formats do.”

New episode!

I sat down with Silas of @chalkpitcassetteclub to talk about the cassette revival, building community through physical formats, and how Next Wave has introduced 400+ artists to tape collectors around the world.

My train got into London a little late but the earlier connection was also late so I will, in fact, arrive at my final destination early. Yes, I'm confused too 🤣
