Writes software and fiction. Tries to keep the two apart. Books published by Farrago and others. Supremo and Grand Panjandrum at the Worldwide Subbub Organisation. Occasional badger videos. He/him.
Facebook has just reminded me of the time I was tweeted by Mary Hopkin. Ah, those were the days, my friend...
Bloody hell. RIP William Orbit. Need to dig this one out tonight then. (Plus Ray of Light of course)
The Munchkins Miniature Shetland Rescue summer fair always turns up some interesting finds, and this year it was these two @backlisted.bsky.social inspired beauties.
If you're looking for recordings that you can listen to several thousand times and still find them funny, then this one surely qualifies, even if it's a bit on the short side.

Now playing, including Pierre Phalèse's Schiarazula Marazzula, which is frankly the Renaissance banger to end all Renaissance bangers. And sadly Musica Aurea's version is not on YouTube, so you'll just have to buy the LP on Discogs.
Now playing. What a final movement, eh? And he knows how to end a thing.
