for the @LRB , i wrote about @ehgillett 's Party Lines, a social and political history of dance music in Britain. a great book – funny, astute, definitive – and a great opportunity to get the words "big beats are the best" into print.

Farewell to another legend: Shigeichi Negishi, inventor of karaoke, has died age 100. By automating the sing-along, he earned the enmity of performers who saw his machine as a threat to their jobs. It's an eerie precursor of the debate surrounding AI's impact on artists today.

i only got round to listening to @ErisDrew & @octo_octa 's fabric mix this past saturday because i wanted to give it my Full Attention, which was of course the right thing to do – we honoured it at 4am with full smoke machine in Room 1

paul johnson is the blueprint. deceptively simple music that contains all you could ever need. and he made HITS. i remember hearing 'get get down' on the radio and at kiddie discos, along with my first taste of the smoke machine... that was the blueprint! we owe him so much 🖤

ok here's the plan – we're selling our vinyl and buying Pontins. a festival every weekend. i'm on the phone to Albini now

Pontins closes Prestatyn and Camber Sands holiday parks

The company says the Prestatyn site will close straight away, and apologises to customers.

a most improbable collection of out-of-date factoids, know-nothing bluster, weird aversion to hearing protection and anti-woke fear of veganism and "boys who dress like girls". 10/10 showing from britain's cleverest right-wingers

A 50-quid, hour-and-a-bit troll: Aphex Twin, at Field Day, reviewed

Forty per cent of London is green space. And what we do with all that grass – all that potential – is pave it with music festivals. This year, Hyde Park hosted Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen....

i'm all too aware of the economic reasons why we can't have one, but the uk really needs some decent magazines again

i am once again asking you to tell me about nice mixes you've been listening to! particularly looking for non-uk DJs, concept mixes, lesser known radio stations and so on.

i'd really recommend directing your attention to bandcamp, not spotify, on this particular week.

ohhh you've gotta love seeing @Spotify sweat, i guess. they've now paid this man $100 million to help spread deadly lies about vaccines, but are still pretending they can't pay artists one cent per stream. just beautiful

It’s crazy that the CD era brought the full proliferation of lossless digital audio at even the lowest levels of consumer retail and we just abandoned it in the name of normalizing legalized piracy. The lossy compressed underwater Kazaa MP3s have become the industry standard.

really sad to hear about Florian Schneider. aside from other members of Kraftwerk, has anyone had such an influence on modern pop – VAST, unimaginable! – while remaining basically anonymous? a robot, a cyborg, a man you'd not look twice at on the street? just perfect, genius.

@VALENTI in underground scenes (which is at least 90% of all music, really) those people are very rarely there to skim profits – they're involved because they love the music and they've found a place in the scene that doesn't necessarily involve the making of music
