Tomorrow ‘The Organ Stops: Saving the King of Instruments’ a documentary by James Dawson will be broadcast on BBC4 at 9.10pm. Back in 2019 James came to visit me and it is an honour to have my music included in his film about the crisis facing Britain’s pipe organs

What’s your pre Xmas hermit highlight. Mine is wrapping presents in my shed listening to really loud mental 20th century orchestral music. Whilst drinking. I leave the books til last.

Just watching an interview with Mick Jagger circa 1971 and have realised that Michael McKeen's excellent portrayal of Snt Hubbins in TIST is an absolute carbon copy masterful impersonation of Jagger. Intonation, rhythm, the way Mick ends every word, quite extraordinary.

Maybe because it’s the end of the year and I’m tired but this comment by our prime minister angers me the most of everything that has happened in 2022. BECAUSE… THIS IS WHAT THEY THINK OF US.

Ahoy hoy, synth loving types!
My friend has released a really cool new soundset for Pigments 4.
It's like having an ARP Odyssey, Pro One, DX7, Emulator II and Jupiter 8 all in one collection. Nice.

@chensonmusic Hi Christian. Wasn’t sure how to contact you but I wanted to let you know for numbers that I got myself a ticket through Eventbrite for the Edinburgh Composer walk but I’m sorry I can’t go now. Gutted… really hoped to make it as I missed the previous ones!

I can neither confirm, nor deny that the end-of-year-sale has started over at bunkersamples.com I have heard rumors that you can buy the entire instrument collection in a special time-limited bundle as well, but what do I know? 🤷♂️

Ok a bit Xmas themed this one (not that your answers have to be) “good songs with bad basslines”. My starter for ten is Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. That player needs to ease off the coffee and hit some mulled wine. What’s your top tune with a crap bassline?
