It’s release day for the Radical Friendship Theory album out now on Spinout Nuggets. Very excited that people finally get to hear it. Thanks to Kenji, @ianbutton, Helen McCookerybook, The Zew and John Howard for being part of the gang.

I had to write this for @fm4.orf.at about the Boy George song, the seriously dodgy AI aspect in particular. fm4.orf.at/story/boy-ge...

New edition of Shindig magazine. Lovely piece by Michael Björn. Partly blacked out a) because the record is actually on Spinout Nuggets, not Gare du Nord and b) because people need to buy the actual magazine to keep good music journalism alive (even if they get the label wrong occasionally)

Tonight’s @fm4.orf.at Heartbeat from 22:00 CET / 9pm GMT was recorded in between watching bands at Popfest Wien Thanks to all the people I met there telling me how much the show and my articles mean to them, which, in turn, means an awful lot to me. Playlist here: www.instagram.com/p/DbTgn0gshI...

Out of a rich choice of dystopias offered up by this morning’s first casual scroll I’ve chosen this one, dedicated to you asking ChatGPT or Claud to go over your script and you sending me funny videos of dancing paintings etc. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thanks @gidcoe.bsky.social for playing Considering off Radical Friendship Theory on tonight’s Riley & Coe Show, and thanks to radical friends Kenji, Ian Button, Helen McCookerybook,The Zew and Jojn Howard for singing and playing on it.

I wrote something for @fm4.orf.at about the legacy of the Falklands war. Contains 12-year-old me material. Auf Deutsch. fm4.orf.at/story/wm-las...

I’ve drawn the stage plan for the Theater am Spittelberg gig in Vienna on July 30, and realised it’s going to be quite a thing. 11 people onstage. Ian Button, The Zew, Maiija, Beauchamp*Geissler, Resi and Tobi from Laundromat, Stootsie, plus special guest…

“With Brian’s writing, what you didn’t know was more important than what you did know because he made it your next mission to find out. That was how musical journalism used to work in those days and, if you know where to look, still does.” PP on Brian Case, a perfect tribute to music writing itself

About tonight’s @fm4.orf.at Heartbeat, on air & stream from 22.00 CET / 9pm GMT: It’s as summery as they come, and I offer no apologies, and yes, that's a young Lenny Kaye, but you should hear the old/new one! In fact you can, here’s the playlist: www.instagram.com/p/DavTFurBi9...

Not being smug but some of us quietly boycotted that thing from the start because it was always an utter farce. Experience of the past few weeks is it’s surprisingly easy to ignore.

Hearing about the antisemitic incidents in Vienna round the awful Lueger monument, think I’ll better say this in German: 1) Man sieht, dass der Antisemitismus in Wien immer noch von den Wienern kommt und nicht des Imports bedarf.
