One recommendation for your hard earned this Friday is the wonderful The Night Album by @digitonal.bsky.social. I've just unwrapped my copy and am looking forward to giving it a spin once I'm done with the post holiday dadmin.
12" square sleeve of the aforementioned album. The front has the artist and title in sans-serif type in the top left of a blue and grey watercolour abstract on heavily textured paper.

What's that you say? A new Megaheadphoneboy album? Released a couple of days before Bandcamp Friday? megaheadphoneboy.bandcamp.com/album/what-a...

This video is scheduled to be released at midday on my YouTube channel. The album preorder is also being started at the same time. Full release on the 5th August. What are your martins called?

This morning has become more interesting now that the postie has delivered these two from @chloeharris.bsky.social and @plant43.bsky.social on the wonderful @silver-threads.bsky.social label.

Achievement unlocked.
A middle aged man with glasses, a beard and a slightly daft haircut stands with domestic stairs behind him wearing a very fetching pink t-shirt which has a circular illustration of a giant green dinosaur throwing people into its mouth and surrounded by the words: take time to enjoy the little things.

This looks like a useful method. Unfortunately I'm allergic to spreadsheets. I have a diagram drawn in illustrator. It's mostly useful apart from a section in the middle which I think is an attempt to also use the desk for dub mixes as opposed to the usual set up for tracking instruments.
Lots of black outlined rectangles representing studio gear. Each has blue and yellow dots with lines of various colours connecting the dots. There are labels and a list of what goes where.

So excited.
Zoomed in a cropped face from the previous shot showing Rob with his eyes closed and a tightly closed, slightly downturned mouth. It looks like he's trying to block out his surroundings and imagine his happy place. We can only imagine where that might be.

Picked up some Bose Quiet Comfort ear buds for my new daily drivers. The >ᛒ dongle for my Shure SE435s is on the way out. Intrigued by the thin high minds that got through the noise cancelling filter at swimming lessons. Anyway, I figured I needed some new sounds to test their capabilities.

Thanks for this guide. I went along to Hanover Sq on the basis of your recommendation. Saw the Hockney and Gillian exhibitions because I had a few hours before going to 180 Strand for Data Cosm by Ryoji Ikeda.

I've not said much about my day job here but I run my own boutique design and artwork studio. I have many years experience creating the visuals for all manner of print marketing and digital promotions. You can find examples of my past work at GraphicalFuzzball.co.uk Let's work together.

Still got all the stairs woodwork and the door faces to do across three floors which will take a while but that's for another day.
A wide angle shot from the attic landing looking down the winding stairs. There's a telescopic ladder diagonally across to reach the light blue wall above which has a small velux window in the angled ceiling.

Today, I'm painting the top coats on the four walls above the stairs and landing. Once done, I'll have painted pretty much the whole house in the last 6 months. Felt in a Beaumont Hannant kind of mood so currently listening to Texturology.

Getting back into making tunes with this portable set up. Must have been a year since I did anything musical.

I found myself feeling the same way this evening. Cracked out my current portable set up and made some gritty head nod vibes.

Just seen it rise above the high street on the way to the Jolly Woodman. Of course, a picture makes it look insignificant without the correct camera lens.

It has been a long time coming but I have finally got my stereo back out of storage. Nearly a year without a turntable and I've a few new LPs to try but first up is the recent one from Cymande.
A Technics SL1700 sandwiched between a pair of small TEAC bookshelf speakers on a white alcove shelf with the amp underneath. There is also a spinning wheel table lamp made by my great grandfather and the sleeve art for Renascence by Cymande.

I learned to drive later as I failed before going to uni. Only owned one and had the same car for ten years. Proper dad taxi. 2014 Vauxhall Zafira.

I got my baking down these days but the new kitchen oven is a proper upgrade. No need to turn the batch half way, much better steam retention and it gets a bit hotter as well. Result.

Bread day.
Close up of three homemade malted granary loaves baking in the oven. They are lit from the left rear by the warm yellow oven light. You can see the flour dusted on top. There is an out of focus reflection in the oven window which shows the counter and appliances across the kitchen.
