MACCA GOES WEIRD! Join me on BBC 6Music’s The Freakzone Playlist at midnight, 6th August. I’ve selected plenty of Paul McCartney’s stranger things. Giddy for this to air. Reposts appreciated. Tune in, Paul! @BBC6Music @reaktionbooks @StuartMaconie @PaulMcCartney @BBCSounds 🎶

Decades in the making, Jools Holland painstakingly prepares his interview question to elicit the most revealing possible response: “So what do you feel you find is it about how music is, then, do you think and has that really changed or not over the years, have you found…?”

I want a disheveled Gary Oldman delivering one of his beloved Beckett monologues (with a theme tune sung by Mick Jagger doing the world’s worst Mick Jagger impression) and occasionally firing Chekhov’s pistol at Hugo Weaving while swearing in a performatively off-the-cuff way.

Shit And Shine = Craig Clouse = Picasso (Not Rick Rubin…) thequietus.com/quietus-revie…

Shit And Shine – 0 aa Riot | The Quietus

The ever-prolific Craig Clouse gives us four tracks of skipping needles and sporadic glitches, but it's the subtle details and small shifts that prove most beguiling for JR Moores

Fantastic set from Kristin Hersh last night. New songs sounded great. Guitar tone(s) glistened. Goldfish-in-a-pickle-jar anecdote was enhanced by the sound effect of an audience member knocking over their empty beer bottle at an accidentally appropriate moment. 🫙
