Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of people at this meeting.

The Tour de France Femmes starts today and as ever I'll be cheering for Kasia Niewiadoma (though if I had to guess, my pick for 🟨 would be Paula Blasi or Anna van der Breggen, depending on how the Stage 4 TT goes)

Anonymous GitHub is a remarkable, brilliant thing anonymous.4open.science

Looks like my 'AI Utopias and the Climate Crisis' module (reworked from this sas-dhrh.github.io/dhcc-toolkit... in response to student interests) is full next year. Pleased about that. The kids are alright etc.

If today on 6 is anything to go by this new Indie Forever station sounds so dull and safe.

Again and again I find myself coming back to the most recent Orielles record. Such a special collection of music. And it sounds *so* good. open.spotify.com/album/1pnhhu...

Sparks. The best live band out there. Another curious encounter.

An unexpected treat of DH Benelux was a chance to close to the women's and men's pro peletons at De Ridderronde Maastricht!

I'm still kinda baffled - in a good way, I've got tickets! - that Anna von Hausswolff is coming to Southampton.

Bitterfly. No festival is complete without a semi-naked drummer.

Pollyfromthedirt. His live shows are a treat.

SLAG. Big fan. Terrific band.

THEATRE. Good band.* *At Great Escape. May post bands.

Love a good clap at Southampton Marathon (far far from the busiest shot I could have taken: the entrants and crowds felt noticeably bigger this year)

Dead! Dead! Dead! are playing a one-off gig in Southampton this Sunday, roughly 20 years after I last saw them, when they were regulars on the local scene. It is sold out. This should be a lot of fun.
