Into the afternoon shift with Freddie Hubbard's jazz combo, a string quartet, musique concrète bleeps and bloops, a smattering of poetry, and the odd analog synth loosening your teeth...
Not that it was ever a competition but I'm rather pleased that I've sold *significantly* more copies of my book than the hapless Liz Truss. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
The afternoon shift begins with another one from the Obscure Records box. This is probably my favourite and most played of all the Obscure LPs over the years. Although I still have my rather battered original copy it's nice to have this pristine version.
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
Into the evening shift and the Obscure fun continues with this old toe-tapper. Fascinating to hear this without all the pops & clicks that my original copy has. When the kids were small, they would sing along with Do The Bathosphere. Happy days.
Into the evening shift with an old favourite of mine. These 1970s Prestige twofers were a great way for a young lad without much money but keen to dive into Miles' world bouncing from In A Silent Way (for example) to 1950s sessions. Chronology didn't matter. It was all good.

Taking a break from today's editing to remind myself what a great album Sanguine Hum's A Trace Of Memory is. Was it really 2020 that this came out? Yes it was... sanguinehum.bandcamp.com/album/a-trace-…
Say what you want about the Daleks, but when they took over from Thames Water in 2150AD, they did improve water safety standards.
