Giving this a bump as the Falling and Laughing all dayer is three weeks away. Worth buying tickets early for this one as we’re expecting it to be busy. Genuinely excited!

A poster for an all dayer at Centrala in Birmingham on the 14th March. Bands listed as playing include Falling and Laughing, Sunset Cinema Club, Wiiince, Hey Alamo, No Peeling, Werewolfe Jonze, and The Shinkansens. Tickets are £10 but No One Turned Away For Lack of Funds tickets are also available.

I’m putting on an all dayer in Birmingham on the 14th March.

It’s to launch the debut album by Falling and Laughing but really I want it to be a celebration of DIY music, which is why the album exists in the first place. So chuffed with the line up.

Swedish indiepop was unstoppable in that era. So many good bands. I think I tried so hard to put them all on in Birmingham that I could have got away with calling the Autumn Store a Swedish indiepop night 😂

NOTAFLOF You may have noticed the phrase NOTAFLOL on the poster. It's not that well used locally and we’ve had a few conversations with people asking about it, s...

You may not have come across the phrase NOTAFLOF on the poster. It stands for No One Turned Away For Lack Of Funds. Here’s our explanation of what is is and why it’s important to us - fallingandlaughing.com/blogs/spacej...

Looking forward to inviting both Pink Opaque and Appi to both play their Birmingham debut shows!

Still cannot see ‘TBA’ on a poster without quoting this song

Falling and Laughing - NEW ALBUM Spacejunk Solarpunk - Blog for Falling and Laughing, an indie group

I’ve changed the new album page on the Falling and Laughing website into a blog so we can keep it updated with news and information about the album before the launch all dayer on the 14th March. It’s like we’re some sort of professional band.

It’s on here - fallingandlaughing.com/new-album

Six maps showing relatively stable nitrogen dioxide levels in Paris from 2007 to 2017, then a huge drop in 2020 and 2024

Paris pollution maps are a delight to behold

A nice pick me up song to get us all enthusiastic about the day ahead.

Ooh I like it. How have I not come across these.

Let’s be honest, the real winners were the top quality knitwear and Stephen’s outfits.

New pedal day! I love reverbs and looking forward to playing with this new Buckell instruments pedal. Looks versatile without being complex so it might end up replacing my main board Afterneath.

Are your requests misinterpreted by being taken incredibly literally, if so you might have recruited a genie. HR should have really picked this up.

A picture is worth 1000 words...

This appeared on the BBC News today, showing the increase in solar electric generation in the UK.

Not sure who produced it, but genuinely think this is a genius piece of scientific communication - the construct and choice of colour scale is near-perfect.

Chapeau!

*Gandalf Garnet

Elvish Costello

I spent far longer thinking about that than my contribution would suggest. As soon as I got ‘Galdalf Garnet’ stuck in my head it left little space for anything else.

Oh well. What matter that we lost. Roll on the Women’s T20 World Cup next year #thecricket

I fretted my keys and looked back at the city –

I was listening to a lot of Orange Juice when we went for that as the name. 😂

Plus it was on Postcard records!

This picture is of a record player, the record on it has a white label and a white record sleeve is propped up against the lid of the player behind it.

Now playing. The test pressing of the forthcoming debut album by Falling and Laughing!

The Regulars - Today at Last A love song to all my friends, written and recorded as the millennium ticked over.

It’s that time of the year when I confidently assert that this is a Christmas song because it has bells on it - on.soundcloud.com/Bn1X470sQa1j...

I’ve got some scrappy early releases which, in hindsight, don’t meet my later standards? 😂

Given the forthcoming Falling and Laughing album early next year, we’ve recorded an interview with James Sandy for his show on Switch Radio. It goes out on Tuesday at 7pm and he’s also playing an exclusive track from the album:
