It felt like a lifetime ambition when we got a record cut there.
So much so that the video for the 12" single consisted mainly of the lathe cutting said single.

Every one of the guy's "jokes" in the first five minutes
was sarcasm at the level of a 6 year old. Literally just saying the opposite of what he meant in an overly dramatic voice.
How that went on for over an hour I'll never know. Maybe he got to something approaching a point, but he was too annoying to tolerate any further.
An hour long video dubbed "worth watching" should probably be delivered by someone with some gravitas, if it's gonna have any chance of changing anyone's mind.

Centuries of Sound - 1926
I made this!
Every month I make a mix of original sounds from a year. Now I have reached 1926! Which may not mean much to anyone, but it's the year electrical recording / microphones took off, and suddenly loads of good music is being recorded and it generally sounds less muddy.
Gigantic blog post this time as I foolishly decided to write a bit about every track, so this one feels like a massive project all on its own. Using the twitter link because it's easier to share (I suppose) - the site link is here - centuriesofsound.com/2020/07/06/1926/ - and it's on podcast apps, except the version there is a 30-minute taster (full mix can be streamed under the link)
Anyway, enjoy!

I hate Spooky Spoon, what is she for?
I get The Numbertaker, he takes numbers, The Puzzler sets puzzles, why is Spooky Spoon a spoon? What the fuck is she?
Also why are they called Numberjacks, what is the connection to lumberjacks? They don't cut down a single tree.

It's only a jack when it's raised up the mast of a ship
calling it a jack when it's not on a ship is exactly the same as shitting on the queen's actual face while burning the Union Flag while singing the words of Deutschland Uber Alles to the tune of the State Anthem of the Soviet Union while wanking into the flag of the Council of Europe.

Your article consistently refers to it as the flag when talking about ones raised over buildings.
The Queen is not an etymological authority to appeal to willy-nilly, she is constitutionally above internet arguments, how dare you mistreat her in this way?
