BLACK HILL TRANSMISSIONS

I really loved Poor Things, but I feel like this was an altogether different thing

and i'm trying to not think too hard about why I enjoy some things over others; i'm just enjoying the enjoyment

I went in with no expectations, and let it happen to me...

It did lose a fair chunk of momentum near the end, and I never once tried to make it make sense, but I loved it

I thought her performance was great.

It was a lot more fun than that trailer for The Odyssey, which made me laugh out loud

I thought it was great fun - Jessie Buckley was absolutely brilliant

Excellent work all round people, an excellent read first thing in the morning 👌

I thought about @jamescorcoran78.bsky.social when I saw that blaze last night (see image)... my eldest kid came home for dinner last night & said there was smoke pouring out of a vape shop at central station at 4pm; we never thought any more about it until he saw the video about 11pm last night

I think about that particular view a lot, especially since I read Stramash & started admiring your work online... I had kinda forgot about it until then

Two firefighters resting, sitting on the plinth of the "Citizen Firefighter" statue.

Quite an image on the BBC live page (www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...; no photographer credited).

Sounds as if they've saved the station and the hotel, and more importantly, without loss of life.

Citizens; heroes.

Is Glasgow losing the spaces that made it an arts powerhouse? The closing of a cluster of leading creative venues has led to dismay and intensified fears the hubs that fostered Glasgow’s celebrated arts scene are disappearing

This is a really important piece. Glasgow is haemorrhaging its art spaces, turning a once vibrant city a cultural void, and we’re all the poorer for it. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Great stuff.

Last year I made the 'Transmission #4' cassette, which side 1 mostly contains this track & its 'version'...

I'm proud of the track & the video I made for it, the closest i've got to realising the dub-vibes i hear in my head.
