On the jukebox today: Neon Ghost by the criminally underrated Josh Mease (also of Lapland). Fell in love with this album years ago, you might too...

independent label hive mind, please! I'm thinking of changing digital distributor. Any recommendations? Have used CD Baby for a while, but frustrated by their need for only 16 bit recordings. Value ease of use, low cost, and good quality audio. Also ability to pick & choose platforms.

I had the honour of sharing work here last year. Delighted to see it getting well deserved attention.

It’s known for making submarines. So how does this remote Cumbrian venue attract the world’s boldest musicians?
In a park keeper’s lodge in Barrow-in-Furness, Full of Noises has hosted the likes of Julia Holter and Lonnie Holley – and is a model for why arts funding matters

Basically, every time you stream a TC track, the artist is out of pocket. They actually pocket it. It's the same revenue that other platforms pass on to the artists, they just keep. On the distributor's statement it's like $25 earned, $0 paid. WTF Spotify. We're investigating alternatives.

Turning Circle @turningcircle.bsky.social · 18/11/2025
moving closer to leaving Spotify - issue is whether to remove the music from there, leave it but don't add any new releases, or only do limited/preview versions of new releases on Spotify, directing people to other platforms to hear it all. Maybe a tiny track about how Spotify rip people off?

50 YEARS AGO TODAY: BBC Schools' Near And Far talks wind. When people talk about unsettling theme tunes they understandably reach for Picture Box first but that's because more of them haven't heard this Radiophonic Workshop set to maximum creepiness.

BBC SCHOOLS - NEAR AND FAR: When The Wind Blows (TX 2.2.83)
Mary Downing presents this long running primary school series, with it's creepy opening sequence! We learn all about the damage that strong winds can do to the land and to the people who live there. Recorded in Spring Term 1983. No continuity here, just a glimpse of the Dots Clock. From my own perso

of all the beautiful Frog & Toad stories this is possibly the best, and of all the lines in the books, this is the most moving, and of all the pictures in the books, this is the most poignant and full of love. A lot of love for these books.

I just watched the opening credits of ep 1 on youtube, and I'm hooked already - bbc radiophonic I presume, or at least something similar. Austere and direct and strange at the same time. A problem I have with contemporary documentary series is the dial is constantly set at 'high drama'

I haven't seen Connections, but am going to seek it out now. Along with The Ascent of Man, Life on Earth, and Ways of Seeing, it's from a favourite period of TV for me. It's the seriousness of tone that I love in these, and the breadth of knowledge expectation.

for a comparison of fairness, imagine if 87% tracks on BBC radio were played for free, with absolutely no royalties given to the composers, only to those who were deemed 'successful' enough to receive any. We're expected to provide music for free, and make money from t shirts and adverts on y-tube

according to digital distributors CD Baby, "Last year, 87% of tracks uploaded to streaming platforms didn’t reach 1,000 streams.". Phew. If that's true, then 87% of tracks played on Spotify last year got ZERO streaming payment from Spotify. (they only pay out if you reach 1000) 87%!!!!! 😱😡
