Did you help create Britain’s first digital time capsule? In 1985-86, thousands of UK schoolchildren contributed to the BBC Domesday Project. We’re reconnecting people with their work and collecting memories. Took part? Complete our survey: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/s5HEvKBkV4

I love running this project and this year's edition comes with added scenic view (or cave) potential!

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

This'll be fun, and if it isn't, you can come heckle me on the correct pronunciation of Tago Mago, or something...

Not to get too LinkedIn on here, but I have some spare freelance capacity this autumn so DM me if you're looking to hire a music writer, copywriter (certified actual human), editor, comms person or ultra-nerdy proofreader. Newsletters, festival brochures, hacking down words to fit, whatever!

Oh! New Wire arrived while I was on holiday. There’s a fantastic @abibliss.bsky.social interview with the two remaining Cabs unknotting much of their history plus I was psyched to talk to members of Black Audio Film Collective about their industrial relations

Front cover of September issue of The Wire with Cabaret Voltaire on the cover

Article on the Black industrialism of Black Audio Film Collective and their relationship with the music and ethos of the Cabs

Nice day to walk 369 steps up the world's (allegedly) tallest folly, the 'Tower of Spite' product of some impressively expensive Victorian landowner beef: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wainhou... Thanks to Visit Calderdale volunteers for opening it all up!

Wainhouse tower, a tall Victorian stone chimney with an ornate top.

My partner and I looking rather warm at the top of the tower. Behind is a stone balustrade and a view out across Halifax.

Really enjoyed talking to Crystabel Efemena Riley for this about the spaces we find, make and lose, and the shared languages of free improvisation and makeup:

Would very much recommend a digital subscription if you don't have a creaking loft like me. 40+ years' worth of searchable issues and your roof beams will remain intact...

Post a photo of yourself from a different era: 1) Home painted Op Art and a black velvet Desiderata poster (top right)... it's June 1980, but still 1973 somehow. 2) Chesil Beach, later in summer 1980, jacket handed down from sometime in the '70s.

Abi as a toddler sitting on a pile of 1970s fabric cushions, playing with a plastic doll. Behind her, a white wall has been painted with an Op Art style circular stripy design.

Toddler Abi lying on large grey and brown rounded pebbles on Chesil Beach, grimacing with her eyes shut, wearing blue jeans, red wellies and a beige sheepskin jacket with wooden toggles.

If you see this, post a fictional artist/band you would love to see

Fictional 1980s punk band Jerusalem Crickets having a bad gig (as always), depicted in Love and Rockets #21.
