iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A friend and I have been to nearly all of the Heart of Noise events, enjoyed every one, and will be very sorry to see it end. We‘ve bought the album and brought a few new people in (sadly not to become regulars). I wish there was more we could do to help.

No idea I’m afraid but would be interested in hearing if you have any success with anything. I just throw away anything that gets like this as it’s unusable - would be nice if they were savable

Well, of course I knew that… obviously… (quietly shuffles away back to the lurker’s corner)

That sounds like it should be incredible, very jealous. Please post a review!

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Stereolab at the Royal Festival Hall. Not sure why they booked it as they kept asking people to get up and dance (frowned upon by security) and rip up the seats “like they did in the 60s” (also frowned on).

What a bargain! How could you say no?

See also all those who think everything they disagree with is an ideology - and what they believe is just common sense.

Simon Middleton @simon.theultraworld.org · 10/11/2025

If that’s Wikipedia you’re quoting then it does include live albums - sensible since often they consist of new material and not much really live. And of course are some of their best work

Three quarters of the way through the CDGXX day 2 at the Blue Moon and it’s all been a blast so far. Very good of them to delay the 2nd half start by 15 mins to give me time to get back from my pizza as well :-)

Ace! I feel a visit to Zhonghua for dumplings may be in my future.

Will be at the Blue Moon for this on Saturday. Should be epic.

But when do we eat?? Or do I need to bring sandwiches? (Saturday)

I can see frantic rewrites on the next episode of South Park: “No, Trey, he’s already filmed himself shitting on America from a great height - think of something else, quickly!”

Once you’ve spent a day constructing a list of what counts it’s probably quite easy to work out. For example do you include: - live albums - “live” albums mostly recorded in a studio - cupdiscs, technically not albums but can be 40mins+ - official bootlegs …

I know, it’s an outrage! On tomorrow, though.

Well, every day’s a learning day isn’t it.

Misread that as Cantabrigian and wondered how October had arrived so soon.

I imagine they all have a serial number somewhere. Time to harness your inner train spotter.

“Chestartan” - the previously unknown Scottish quarter I guess?

I don’t under what he has against chips… I thought he loved his happy meals?

Customer feedback this week; ‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’ Ideas for how we do this v welcome. Nothing too racy please - we are the National Trust not the National Tryst.

I’m hoping for lots of variants on Northy McNorth Face and Southy McSouth Face.

What a great looking thing! I’d been idly wondering whether it was possible to do something similar but didn’t have the time to do a decent job. Do you just scrape all the venue sites?

Just a quiet mention of a new thing: musiclivecambridge.com It's like the Colchester site, but for Cambridge. Early days yet, while I add more and more data, but hopefully it'll be useful to someone. Anyone out there based around #Cambridge?

True - credit where it’s due I guess. Be even better if they’d put PÆDO’S

Simon Middleton @simon.theultraworld.org · 17/08/2025

Can’t the apostrophe in paedo’s represent the fact that letters have been dropped?

Here in Romsey they just stroll down the road in the middle of the day. Our cat will chase them off if they dare to come into the garden though.

NEW PHOTOS!!!! - Taken by The Surrey Herald around 1964/65 - Carole Ann Ford (Susan) is accompanied by some Daleks not long after The Dalek Invasion of Earth was filmed to Woking for a publicity visit. There's about 17 photos from this visit. More in the reply.

One of the best promoters around @elifyalvac.bsky.social has put together a compilation with recordings from their Heart Of Noise events in Cambridge. My contribution is from when I was there in April playing violin through distortion units heartofnoisecambridge.bandcamp.com/album/heart-...
