A guitar, a double bass, a drums and a sing with a general disregard for standard string tensions. Except on the bass. And the drums.

Dear pluggers & fellow musicians. Thanks for generously sending your stuff in the post to me at the BBC, but since March there's been no staff there to even open it. Everyone is working from home, all submissions are digital. This is destined for landfill: PLEASE STOP SENDING IT!

Thanks @DropHaystack podcast for inviting me on for a chat about music. The guys found a song of ours, Where We're Going To from our first album In The Hills The Cities (10 this year!), and talked about it on a previous episode. Loved this. open.spotify.com/episode/6Jv…

Our Song of the Day is Tarn Song, the forthcoming single from Harvey Lord. The accompanying video unfolds like a Cumbrian psych-folk dream – reminiscent of the Incredible String Band and Vashti Bunyan’s pastoral sounds. folkradio.co.uk/2019/06/vide…

So we were talking about this the other day and I had to go on eBay to find and buy the magazine just to get a picture of it. The 1994 Nintendo Magazine System April Fools prank. Mortal Kombat, the blood code for the SNES version. #retrogaming #snes #GamersUnite #mortalkombat
