Who *doesn’t* need to go to a games arcade that has classics like “Frenzied Dog Attack”, “Divorce”, “Dead or Bad” and of course “Meat or Pet” A very fun evening at Novelty Automation in London. I love that a place like this can exist in 2026.

Alt text: A tall wire-mesh cage arcade machine with a metal sign reading "TEST YOUR NERVE" mounted above it in pink/red lettering. Inside the cage is a snarling animatronic dog with glowing red eyes and bared teeth, facing forward as if guarding a red push-button. A red sign on the front reads "INSERT COINS / PUT HAND IN CAGE / PUSH BUTTON FOR AS LONG AS YOU DARE."

Alt text: A coin-operated mechanical arcade machine titled "DIVORCE" in red neon-style letters. Behind glass, two wooden puppet figures — a woman in an orange top with a yellow bob haircut on the left, and a man in a beige shirt with a scowling expression on the right — stand holding a small model house with a cracked wall between them. Visible mechanical gears, chains, and levers sit beneath the figures. A printed sign reads "DIVORCE INSTRUCTIONS: Part with cash (insert coins) / Divorce proceedings start when bell rings / Turn handwheel to separate from your partner / When you see red, push lever for surge of rage / Continue until one partner separates completely." Two "SEPARATION (Degrees of Freedom)" dials (0–100%) flank the scene, along with a "TIME SPENT DIVORCING" gauge and hand-crank wheels at the base.

Alt text: A wooden arcade machine titled "DEAD or BAD" in glowing green cutout lettering. Two illuminated panels below read "KEEP GRANNY WARM" and "SAVE THE PLANET," each above a dial gauge — one labeled "Granny's Temperature" (Cold to Hot) and one labeled "Carbon Footprint" (Low to High). Below is a diorama of a hunched wooden granny figure sitting in a yellow armchair in a small room with a lamp, a window showing a night sky, and an electric bar heater glowing on the red floor. A red hand-crank at the bottom has a sign reading "Turn handle to generate green electricity and keep granny warm through a cold night." Shelves of miscellaneous objects are visible through a glass panel to the right.

Alt text: A tall olive-green arcade machine titled "PET OR MEAT" at the bottom in red lettering. It features a large illuminated spinner wheel labeled alternately "PET" and "MEAT" around its rim, with a gold arrow pointer, above a red push-button labeled "SETTLE LAMB'S FATE." Below, a lit diorama shows a wooden family of four figures (a man, woman, girl, and boy) standing with a small toy lamb. Decorative silhouettes of leaping lambs and cuts of meat cover the green panel background. A partly obscured instruction panel is visible on the left. To the right, an adjacent machine with red coiled springs and a red rubber glove is partially visible, displaying text about checking for "suspicious bulges."

I wouldn’t claim to be a diehard Nick Cave fan. I like him and have a few albums. But the gig at Preston Park last night was one of the best I’ve ever seen. A band playing as one being, Nick like a cross between God and the devil, the best outdoor sound imaginable - all shared with my best friends ♥️

He also made this cool ass bass which I bought from him when I was 18. I think he made it from his work desk at Lowden 😂

Spotted in Sicily - a wine that describes the effect it will have on you 😂

A bottle of Marsala wine called “Terre Arse”

I had this guitar made for me in the 90s by Ernie, one of the guys that worked in the Lowden factory. It’s a friend’s son’s 18th today. He’s so into music and he fell in love with it, so today I’ll give it to him so it can have another life. Farewell old friend ♥️

Whoa @boardsofcanada.bsky.social - Inferno is blowing my mind. Truly worth the wait. Amazing stuff ♥️

I always use this name when ordering in a public place. Can you name the reference? If so you are a friend of mine for sure ♥️

I’m doing my studio room up soon, but for now my favourite guitars are hanging up on the outside wall while we build a new internal frame. Which one would you take home?

A wall with guitars on hangers: white 1991 Ibanez RG-750, blonde 1982 Gibson ES-335 dot reissue, 2004 James Trussart rusty Steel Deville, 1971 blonde Fender Telecaster and 1966 sunburst Harmony Rocket

I’m not 100% convinced that the Hong Kong restaurant I added to Google Maps is getting that many views because of its food credentials 😂

Keiji Haino was utterly unique. On the challenging side of avant garde for me but memorable and the real deal. Tonight: Indre and Shahzad Ismaily at Crypt Gallery!

Straight into the no pile - anything by The Smiths or The Jam

I’ve been digging through more vinyl this morning dividing into “keep / maybe / no” piles. Found this 1978 disc of The Jacksons “Blame It On The Boogie” - how cool is it! 💛🖤

@ronanhession.bsky.social taking over the world, quietly, in the living rooms of homes the world over. The copy I bought for my mate JC has gone viral 💛

Mate! It's been a while. Let's get lunch next week?!

I recommend Leonard and Hungry Paul to Meg, then she suggested it to their book club and now it's been randomly chosen to be their next book! So interested to hear what 8 women who all love romantasy make of it

The scene from the film Withnail and I where Uncle Monty, played by Richard Griffiths, reads a note left on the cottage door that says “Here… hare… here”

Also - when you go to Kyoto, be sure to visit Daigoji, a temple compound on the east side with with a working monastery up the mountain. Most people just go to see the exquisite little shrines and gardens but if you go right to the end there’s a steep hill and you can escape the city.

Don’t know about you but I absolutely love this time of year when there is light in the sky around 6pm… the glow of a sunset hinting at a summer somewhere off in the distance…

Silhouette of a stone church tower with a weather vane against a twilight sky, with a graveyard of headstones in the foreground and bare winter trees lining the horizon. A warm amber and golden glow from the setting sun fades into deep blue above.

My beloved James Trussart rusty Steel Deville. In 2004 I called James and said “can you make me a guitar that looks like an old piece of metal from a shipyard?” I sent him a photo of a metal sheet from Harland & Wolff dry dock in Belfast and 6 months later this guitar arrived. Still love it 🤘♥️

I love it when cats put a paw over their eyes to get some shuteye when the lights are on.

I took a closer look at the OK Computer white label. It needs a good clean but I found some hand-engraved messages which was exciting: “I LIKE YOU, YOU ARE A WONDERFUL PERSON” “I’M FULL OF ENTHUSIASM, I’M GOING PLACES” “VINYL BLAIR” The cat number too: NODATA 0*2A-1-1- #Radiohead

Such a fun night digging through records. Everything from Derek and Clive (The Worst Job I Ever Had) to BBC Sounds of The Living World. The family gathered round. I hadn’t factored in the social factor as sleeves got pored over and discussed. No-one gets excited about listening together on Spotify.

I am utterly heartbroken to hear that John Virgo has died. As a lifelong snooker fan I’ve been hearing his voice since I was born. My favourite commentator by miles, a wonderful soul - hilarious, knowledgeable - with a great Lancashire accent. “Where’s the cue ball going?” #RIP #snooker #legend

And there it was - the signed white label of OK Computer. 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 THE END

I went through them all carefully… 17, 18, 19… Nothing. Finally, the very last one: Yarbrough and Peoples - “The Two Of Us” Some vague memory stirred in me… As I pulled out the sleeve I definitely squeaked (quite possibly from both ends)…

Giggling like ducklings we headed down the stairs and approached THE TRUNK. These are the first two things I saw - a Technics WSA1R synth module and a silver face Fender Vibrochamp. I was already quids in.
