Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 26/09/2026You’re supposed to be horizontal for the rope jump, so actually this went quite badly. 020
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 26/09/2026For the second one they suggested I stand rigid and tip backwards. 121
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Returned to Bungy Niouc with Mike - at his suggestion! - for two bungee jumps and a rope jump. 120
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 25/09/2026SW took the stomp out of Filmstar. The kick is all click and no rumble. Did he layer a dance kick in there? It’s also too loud in the mix. This is like DWTE all over again. Lazy bursts in your face at the end for no reason. I like Trash (goodbye varispeed*!), By the Sea and BO, but time for bed. 130
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’d also like to extend my sincere thanks to U2 for finally abandoning their ‘Songs of…’ prefix for album titles. 120
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 24/09/2026‘Silencio’ breaks U2’s law that the second single must have a very long title. 110
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Lengthy delay queuing outside the Lloyds Building due to protesters getting in. Will lightning strike twice? 010
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 18/09/202690 minutes queueing for the Bayeux Tapestry in holding room after after holding room, then just metres from finally seeing the jumped-up duvet they announced a whole-building evactuation. No photography allowed, but considering the circumstances all decorum went out the window: 140
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 17/09/2026No, I just missed him. Plus, he’s not a performing monkey. 000
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Will I dare get a selfie with Mark Gatiss saying “It’s a shit business!”? 100
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 17/09/2026How to write a Fleetway strip: Step 1: Protagonist unwittingly foils robbery; receives reward 110
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Seeing McAlmont & Butler Q&A tonight on the other side of this wall. 000
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 05/09/2026To celebrate the 1st anniversary of Antidepressants, I gift you the observation that Brett in fact sings “like a river re’ll [sic] run” at 0:30 in DWTE. Now you too will never un-hear it! 130
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Faithful, excessive manifesto pledge trumpeting is a daily occurrence, and I’ve already complained, but downplaying actual lawbreaking as a ‘row’?? 100
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 05/09/2026A year on from release, I can say with perspective and clarity that I really do prefer Antidepressants to Autofiction. It’s more consistent than AF and I don’t get bored towards the end. The sequencing is also spot-on, each track flowing from one to the next like a slinky walking down the stairs. 110
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 04/09/2026At fucking last. They now need to rethink the chart rules around playlist-served streams, as current weighting isn’t sufficient. Time to exclude them altogether, I reckon. 100
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Autofiction is Thriller and Antidepressants is Bad* *Walked right into that one 020
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Saw Sparks in Southend - or rather just the second half, as I was late coming straight from work :( 140
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 22/08/2026"Several exciting acts are under consideration for our conference after-party - all Boney M” 110
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I couldn’t see Brett’s facial expressions for the Q&A as he had his back to me, so it felt like every time SK tried to joke with him it fell flat. 230
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Neighbour had a BBQ last night, and someone nearby keeps lighting bonfires every morning; yes, we really do need to be talked down to like children. 120
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Gonna go out to the countryside for the eclipse and take photos of myself looking amazed. 120
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 10/08/2026When you’re conducting a house viewing at 5:45 but you’ve got a dinner reservation at 6:00. 020
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 29/07/2026That was the sound of the bath plug being pulled out on my thirties. 010
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 29/07/2026They say it’s your BIRTHDAY! Well it’s MY birthday too, yeah! 240
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Stuck around ‘til release of its followup proper by a whisker. 010
Richard @neondark.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Fair, but I don’t think that’s the sole factor. At BST the vast majority of the area is for standing, with a single grandstand to one side for seating - yet people still stand up from their seats. 000
