Last week we also lost Chris Jasper… 😢

RIP the ubiquitous ROY AYERS 😢

And now D’Wayne Wiggins of Tony! Toni! Toné! fame… 😢

This one still hurts… 😢

Sad news! 😢

In the wake of Brassed Off, the truly inventive artist Jeremy Deller took two British institutions, the colliery band and our love of so-called 'Acid House' and gave us something very different. Interesting to read a little more about him: theguardian.com/news/2025/apr/…

What a fascinating look into how one of the first true Kiki hip hop classics came about. Thanks #anikamoa! #alright! youtube.com/watch?v=6Gks8I…

Thank you Sy Smith! ❤️

I love the mastersatwork and La India take on TO BE IN LOVE, particularly the original 12" with La India's lines about 'this lovely remix...' Nothing can make me smile more. But lately I'm really feeling the Frankie Feliciano Ricanstruction Vocal! #wednesdayWorm #earWorm

Will Powers' Kissing with Coincidence has wheedled its way back into my brain. The breezy kickback not unlike co-writer Nile Rodgers's production of Why, Carly does vocals here. Lynn Goldsmith's deep-voiced self-help guru now sounds prescient #underrated #wednesdayWorm #earworm

I kept going down that Tatsuro 'Tatsu' Yamashita 山下 達郎 rabbit hole, and fell in love with Love Talkin' from 1982's For You, only to eventually realise it's a 'known thing' on the soul weekender circuit. Well, it is fab! #wednesdayWorm #earworm

Yep, it's *that* day... #maythe4thbewithyou

A great interview with @officialbillycobham. Interesting to see Massive Attack mentioned on the use of Stratus, but not OGB and their use of Heather – my absolute fave from Crosswinds, atmospheric and quite @johncarpenterofficial-esqe – on classic 93 'Til Infinity...

Team Suzuki's design for the gatefold of the new OK Go got me thinking about other playful album covers and packaging of the past. Obviously, there's #PeterSaville and New Order, but so many more. What's your favourite? #suckerforapopup

Can I just say Latvia got my vote… 💯!
