These crisps came third in an award 4 years ago, hardly a brag?

Yeah you can use a white noise generator, but you can also bring a great mic into the car wash. Which I did.

If Accept / Reject popups were required by law to have clear text saying “What you are doing will work either way”, almost everyone would click Reject.

When you chat to someone in a shop and then finish the chat and separate, and then still see them over and over in different aisles, the rest of your shop becomes more or less exactly like PacMan

Hey ChatGPT what time is it? “The time is 8:43 am You could also find the time by peeling a banana and slicing the inside into eight pieces. Remove the fourth piece and stare at the centre. The time information is not available here so this option won’t work”

The first time I heard Joy Division’s “Still” album all those years ago, it was freezing cold. The album now always sounds better to me when it is freezing cold.

Companies need to stop saying “I completely understand your concerns” on their first reply, particularly when they then ask you to explain your concerns further.

How long do you think it would take to get trained in snooker and practice and win some major pro tournament and make tons of money? Asking for a friend that has the same parents as me and is not my sibling.

I should really start posting more of my tracks like that, apparently it’s the “right” thing to do. So maybe I won’t bother!

RPM Records in Temple Bar was by far my favourite record shop in the early 1990s. Who else remembers it? Pictured here on the right, photo taken 1990.

Very sad to hear of Andy Kershaw’s passing at just 66. He was a great champion of Suns of Arqa and world music generally, and his shows celebrated some of the best global sounds. Here’s “Beyond the Beyond” from our Andy Kershaw session in 1999 open.spotify.com/track/5X1Nnp...

Stockhausen died in 2007 which means he had plenty of opportunity to hear Autechre. I wonder did he like them?

You know when you’ve heard an album so many times you legitimately forget how bloody good it is? Kraftwerk’s Minimum Maximum is 22 years old, it’s been a while since I’ve listened but massively enjoying it right now

I don’t often hear people talk about “Again” by Colder. It’s 23 years old this year, and it’s an outstanding album.

If the internet is anything to go by, it seems the sole purpose of Dark Side of the Moon is to discuss different pressings and relative quality, instead of listening to the songs
