Each year on International Towel Day we reflect on just how much more Douglas Adams would have laughed, largely but not entirely in frustration, at how much more ridiculous human beings have managed to make their own bloody world. We hope you all know where your towels are today. #TowelDay

Always know where your towel is. Towel Day: May 25, 2026.

This is a deeply niche observation, but the captain of Bradford City AFC (that’s a soccer club in England folks) is actually called Max Power. If you’re a Simpsons fan you’ll know this already, but there’s an episode where Homer legally changes his name to Max Power, which he got off a hair dryer.

Homer Simpson singing to the tune of Goldfinger: "Max Power! He’s the name whose name you’d love so much. But you mustn’t touch… his name sounds good in your ear…"

Totally normal thing to be doing in bed right before going to sleep.

Had a Fold OG lineup reunion yesterday & the BEST news: our OG bassist Ben finally got his transplants after 5 years of waiting & home dialysis. Operation was a complete success! We’re so happy for him. Possible reunion gig in 2027, if things aren’t too post-apocalyptic. Long live Ben & the #NHS ❤️

The second original Fold line-up from left to right: Kane Rattray (drums), Sam Hutchison (guitar), Ben Walsh (bass) and Seth Mowshowitz (everything else).

If oil (and gas) prices continue to rise like this for a sustained period of time, let’s say a month or more, the global economy may well collapse. This is no joke.

Oil price chart showing change from around $63 per barrel in early February to just over $90 per barrel on 6 March.

This Black Friday why not buck the trend and get yourself some delicious Fold vinyl? It’s subversive, dissenting and the man won’t even know you’re listening to it. There’s even a bundle with all 4 of our 12” releases for £35. fold.bandcamp.com/merch

All 4 of Fold’s 12 inch vinyl releases (showing the vinyl only).

Had a lovely time dropping underground 90s hip hop this morning on a crowd that was probably there for anything but 😂 Good vibes at the @nathbrudenell.bsky.social Record Fair. On until 3pm today! (NB the video’s from right before I came on. Clearly that’s not underground hip hop playing).

@bythebywater.bsky.social This inn has no real connection to Tolkien but felt like a good excuse to let you know how much I love your podcast. Listened to every single episode, some multiple times. The live evisceration of The Hobbit films is my 🥇 Each new episode makes my day, long may you continue

2 images side by side: on the left a portrait of Hitler from 1937 and on the right a portrait of Trump in 2025. Both use the mythology or memes of their respective times to impart a sense of supernatural power on a leader that is designed to appeal to a specific male demographic.

We’ve been waiting for this form of activism for a long time, how lovely to see it has finally arrived! Bravo @everyonehateselon.bsky.social 👏👏👏 ”Daily Mail ‘New True Edition’ — We blame migrants so you don’t blame billionaires.”

Newspaper display stand showing 2 copies of the Daily Mail’s spoofed ‘New True Edition’ with the headline “We blame migrants so you don’t blame billionaires.” Brought to you by activist group Everyone Hates Elon who snuck these wraparounds into multiple display stands across the UK.

Good news: with the help of Leeds Youth Service we’re expanding our music production workshop into another neighbourhood after a little trial session. This area is considerably more neglected, troubled and underprivileged. The kids are brilliant, can’t wait to make some beats with them.

I actually managed some DJing last week at the Amity Brewery in Farsley, Leeds. Man it felt good. Our guitarist Sam & I used to have a residency at the Doghouse in Leeds for a few years before COVID. Missed it. Will be DJing again at The Brudenell Social Club Record Fair on Sun Nov 16th (10:30am 😱)

Blast from the past: this screengrab from one of our 10 year old mailouts shows the audio platforms that we were expected to promote back then, presumably in priority order. Who remembers Rdio and Emusic?

Screengrab from a 10 year old email showing a button and a list of links to a release on various audio platforms, several of which are all but forgotten. These are listed as follows: iTUNES UK, iTUNES US, SPOTIFY, DEEZER, RDIO, GOOGLE PLAY, EMUSIC.

Quote a record that you found in your parents’ collection when you were young. And it remains a favourite today, how could it not?

Immediately (and very fondly) reminded of my Electronic Music Professor in university, the great Daria Semegen. Pictured here with her vintage Buchla that I had the privilege of tinkering on for many happy hours, most of them baked out of my mind. www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/musi...

Wonder if our second album cover—featuring a photograph taken at Manzanar by the great Ansel Adams—would be considered a negative historical interpretation?

I just deactivated our X account. It was harder than I thought having put 13+ years of work into it, having put together the original band line-up there, etc. However, this is about getting off of toxic platforms, making space to reconnect in healthier ways and putting our energies to better uses ❤️

‘Resistance, Refusal, Ridicule’ has entered a chart! We think this is like our third time ever having a single enter the @amazingradio.com charts in over a decade so thanks very much to everyone who has gotten us there! amazingradio.com/chart

Shows a partial view—places 34–40—of the current Amazing Radio chart (linked in post) including Fold’s new entry for Resistance, Refusal, Ridicule at 37.

Our new single ‘Resistance, Refusal, Ridicule’ is out tomorrow! The lathe-cut vinyl has arrived and it sounds absolutely amazing 🥰 Thanks to @loosehairlathecuts.bsky.social for doing such a brilliant job on these. There are still copies available on #Bandcamp: fold.bandcamp.com/album/resist...

Remember folks 👇

"We cannot have a meaningful revolution without humor. Every time we see the left or any group trying to move forward politically in a radical way, when they’re humorless, they fail. Humor is essential to the investigative balance that we need to deal with diversity and the building of community."
— bell hooks
