  Here’s me fretting about my album taking four years (so far); meanwhile, Shrinkwrap’s Time & Space is finally here after 25 years of gentle progress. Another warm and fuzzy release from my good friends at Nottingham fab micro-label Delia. #BandcampFriday https://deliarecordings.bandcamp.com/album/time-space

  Some beautiful moments on Michael Cloud Duguay’s album—a document of place, people, and old church organs. I’m married to a Newfoundlander, so I know these places and can really feel them here. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/jun/18/michael-cloud-duguay-album-church-organs

  Shocked about Mani. Forever grateful that my teens aligned with the rise of the Roses' in 1988-90, when the summers went on forever. Here's a love letter I wrote back in 2012. https://colly.com/journal/the-stone-roses

  I never expected to see Akiko Yano play live, let alone briefly meet her and get an album signed. We were delighted to discover (late, we grabbed the last tickets, I think) the closing night of the London Jazz Festival at The Barbican was happening the day after Radiohead, so stayed in London for it.

  Visited the ramen bar featured on Rod Modell & Taka Noda’s ambient masterpiece Glow World. (Hat tip to my old friend @patrick_h_lauke for sharing this location: Hakata Tenjin Ramen, Shinjuku.)

  Good haul from this Tokyo trip — focused on classic 70s/80s city pop and YMO/Sakamoto, but couldn’t resist the 1978 Japan pressing of The Kick Inside, a 1985 Hounds of Love tape, and that Kid A obi. (See ALT text for details)
