I'm doing our monthly show on Threads* Radio alone this month cos Liza is away, it's all soundtracks - musicals, tv shows, bollywood, giallo etc - this time around. If you want to hear click on the right hand box on the link below in the black box that says Threads* https://threadsradio.com/

For the first time in a few months they have opened up the studio at East Side Radio.... all the regulars were asked to do a four hour "welcome back" kinda show. Anyway, we went out on Wednesday.... got home at about 4am on Friday morning, managed a few hours sleep, and then woke up just in time...

How many of you lot have got tattoos? I think I am literally the only person I know (at least in my generation or below) who doesn't have any at all... in Portugal it's mad, almost everyone is covered. I've nothing against them, I just feel that they lose a bit of power (in general) when...

All records from Russia, Estonia, Romania, Hungary, Poland etc... starting electronic, going all 80s synthy and going back.... I dunno if you can see the picture here but Liza's brother took it of their hometown in the late 80s https://threadsradio.com/ (it's the player on the right with the...

I remember reading that when John Von Neuman reached fifteen his wealthy family were able to employ an internationally recognised maths genius to teach him... when this guy spent an hour with JvN and grasped his level of understanding he broke down in tears of amazement. That story reminds me of...

OK, I'm starting this to coincide with my radio show on Tues but I do find library stuff fascinating. Anyone a fan? I suppose you all know what library music is, but, just in case you don't. Library music is stuff made by companies such as DeWolfe, KPM, Selected Sound etc who paid session...

So they changed the date on this but it goes out Tuesday. I thought that this was quite an interesting show anyway. All library records. I suppose you all know what that means, but, just in case you don't. Library music is stuff made by companies such as DeWolfe, KPM, Selected Sound etc who paid...

I came across this article, a bit like Borges' imaginary Beings... a bit.... some highlights https://listverse.com/2011/01/13/top-10-sex-demons/ The comments are also amazing obviously.

Trailing that slightly early... guess it will allow me the time to whip you all up into a frenzy... But I thought it was going out today and I spent ages yesterday rushing to finish it. So, any of you who are into library music have plenty of time to get prepared, it's a more geeky show this...

Anyone watch this? Is it real... it seems too good to be true but it's fascinating stuff. Please don't tell me it's not real cos it's basically my favourite thing on telly.

Does anyone know a good one I can get? I used one years ago that was clunky but pretty good so I'm sure there are plenty available now but has anyone got a recommendation? Just something to mess around with really (cut bits out of videos, loop em, run them backwards, join them together with...

I dunno if this is interesting to anyone... but some pictures of local wilderness here. In the town I live there is this weird section in the middle which is blocked off by massive 2.5m foot stones walls (maybe 0.5m thick) on all sides, enclosing a space that is roughly like a circle of 3km...

Don't really know his stuff that well but I dig the repetitive nature of the ones I do know - this one especially Oh yeah he's dead I should have said.

Dead again apparently. Well, TMZ are reporting it anyhow. https://www.tmz.com/2020/04/25/north-korea-dictator-kim-jong-un-dead-dies-heart-surgery-reports/

Yesterday Three Billboards Outside Ebbing was on telly and I was enjoying it (actually got a bit wearing towards the end) and I was thinking that really the only thing that made it good was the dialogue. Although sometimes it kinda tipped over to being too good or too neat at least and thus...

I don't know much (actually anything) about Intuitionist Maths but apparently, going back to the start of the 20th century when you had people trying to axiomatise mathematics through set theory, the Hilbert Programme etc some Dutch guy came up with this particular idea of a type of maths that...

Someone was telling me about this today. I guess it's old hat to all you conspiracy theorists and so on but I'd never heard about it and it's quite interesting. Anyone got any theories about it? RC Christian certainly sounds as though he's referencing Rosicrucians - I'm not saying that means...

I don't really know what I mean here, but it was something that was inspired in me cos we just watched Shadows, the 1959 film from Cassavetes. He's a director I know little about and I've meant to properly check out (beyond Killing of a Chinese Bookie and maybe one other) for years but somehow...

East Side Radio shows are normally recorded live in the studio but for some reason they are asking people to record the shows at home and send them to them this month. So we recorded this on my turntables, problem is one of the needles had broken and so it was on one turntable and hammered...

Obviously recorded this mix at home yesterday. Bit kinda haphazard because (typically) one of my needles broke just before they ordered all shops closed and we couldn't replace it. So it's recorded on one turntable and sorta mixed with the speeds equalized by working out the bpm and then...
