Just back from another studio rehearsal for the Acid Horse event. The whole event is shaping up to be the festival of the Summer (well, Spring). Amazing line up, beautiful camping, fantastic people. Buy your tickets now psychonauts!

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
(yes, another one!)
It's been a long time coming, but I can now officially confirm that a second edition of Sideways Through Time is due to be published this year. #hawkwind 1/3

Us are at this

The incredible performers at next month's 3-day Acid Horse festival: Syrian wedding musicians, Welsh-language goths, Irish psych-folk, beatnik tape loop rebels, acid legends, noise veterans, electro-prog maniacs! The post everything sounds of now – and more! Just a few tix left!

Good people of Stroud, I'm blowing the cobwebs from my venerable Music and Magic presentation as part of the Stroud Subculture festival on Friday 3 May. Not many tickets left apparently so do book ahead and I'll hope to see you there.

62 years ago Joe Simonton claimed to have received pancakes from extraterrestrials.
10 years ago I created a experimental, electronic/ambient album about the event. If you like weird sounds and things...here it is.

This is the pancake day I celebrate.

Serendipitously, this week saw tony_surgeon and Quite slowly going here: @dan-bean.bsky.social release Colour by Material Object on their label Old Technology – six fragile yet powerful pieces, created using a single synthesiser and “driven live in every which way”.

Dave Troy is always worth listening to.

Here he asks whether useful idiots amplifying the UAP threat lore might be doing Russia’s dirty space bomb psyop work for them. (And one of them got a joyride on the Moscow subway thrown into the deal - neat!)
