🏺 On #archaeology, the practice and meaning of it, as emotionally resonant & inspirational; reminds me of the affection and something more - wonder? reverence? - behind Detectorists, the soundtrack for that, and the musical connection through to Digging For Britain as Time Team's successor.
My last piece of writing this year is on @spaceshipmark.bsky.social's charming folk LP and zine in tribute to archaeology telly programme Time Team. Review features reference to the Einstürzende Neubauten hard hat worn by @durotrigesdig.bsky.social on the show:

We did a LOT of stuff with the PPYO this year. I thought I’d share some of the best (although it’s all great obviously!).
First up, this, where we did lots of synth, radio and other noise. It’s pretty wild:

I’ll shut up about this for a bit now. But do have a listen to this album I made because I’m quite proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and actually playing instruments and stuff.
For the latest folklore, facts and fables zine and cd (no.6!), I explore the best thing ever to be on telly; Time Team. Eight tracks dedicated to eight original team members plus an illustrated zine with a 1000 word essay on why I love it.

I’m sure my A level geology teacher told me a story about a geologist/composer who set up a bunch of people at different outcrops on the side of a mountain with hammers then somehow signalled to them when to hit their respective rocks, thus using the whole mountain as an instrument.
