Bandcamp Friday- August 2026

It’s Bandcamp Friday……a hot, dry Friday.

Bandcamp Friday May 2026

May Day. Even in the darkest of years, the flowers bloom, the sun appears, the pollen flies…It’s Bandcamp Friday and new releases from Edward Ka-Spel and Orbit Service as well as a plethora of ‘Test Pressing ‘ editions are on display. As I type, the latter seem to have already vanished but there will be a small addition later today…

2026 and we made it to May Day but the sound of the alarm will not stop. On a personal level it has been a challenging year with a persistent ear infection casting a long shadow over the early months. Thankfully, when it finally cleared up, there was a lot to address musically and the new solo album “ Hallucinating Happy Land “ is the sound of a genie shattering an overheated lamp, and wafting its way over the horizon. I’m proud of this one…

Likewise fellow Pink Dot Randall has been on fire over the last weeks and his new offering “Radio Hypnosis Volume 2” is a stunner. You’ll find it here:
