Some absolute Christmas crackers on this year’s VPME Xmas Show, including a wonderful French cover of ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’. You also might hear an appropriately moody electronic Greg Lake cover if you listen closely enough. 🎅🎁

Halloween prep in Ventnor. 🎃
Really enjoyed talking to @styleofsound about the nature of silence, horror synths and a few of my favourite Isle of Wight haunts. Have a read. 📰
Stop that moon buggy and take one giant leap onto this playlist, featuring all of the songs we played at the Isle of Wight Festival. 🐻🌕🎶
Turns out that I only live a few minutes away from a real-life version of ‘The Stars, Like Dust’. There’s also an extensive article here about the Isle of Wight’s role in the space race, which is amazing and kind of nuts. 🚀
Worth a read/view too, is this incredible project by Katayoun Dowlatshahi, which was based on the above discovery about rocket testing on the island.
Thanks to Joe from Horseflies for the link!
New in the neighbourhood, mugs featuring your favourite finger puppet band (includes download of ‘In Your Neighbourhood’)! 🐻🎹
