Last one for now. Cleaning my mod revival collection (in case you didn’t realise) and this is one of my all time favourites. Mick Talbot’s first band. Just fantastic tunes for the era. We loved it. #MertonParkas #vinyl #ModRevival #xp

Continuing the theme from yesterday, another mod revival (or mod revival adjacent) compilation. This time from Elton John’s Rocket Record Company. The first outing on vinyl for The Lambrettas. #NowPlaying #Vinyl #xp

I’ve got volumes 3 and 4 of Le Beat Bespoké, obscure, overlooked 60s dance tracks compiled by Rob Bailey of The New Untouchables. Gotta get them all! Le Beat is an annual event still going strong with the next festival Easter, 2026. #vinyl #LeBeatBespoke #xp

Alt...

A vintage turntable with a spinning vinyl record is displayed alongside a cover of "Le Beat Bespoke 3," featuring two women in stylish outfits. Behind the turntable are framed artworks, adding to the nostalgic atmosphere.

Alt...

The inner sleeve features a promotional flyer from "The New Untouchables", highlighting music and club culture. It includes text about the club scene, album compilations titled "Le Beat Bespoke," and features black-and-white graphics of individuals.

Another compilation, this one from Safari Records. A repress from 1981 and the much better version including three tracks from Purple Hearts missing from the 1980 original.

as much as i hate youtube, being terminally online on the website during work has lead to me finding some people who still make quality work.

the difference between them and your average rage slop has only increased alongside the enshittification of the website tbh. #xp

Ahh, youtube cerebus syndrome. Another thing that keeps me from spending more time posting youtube "content."

Although it feels like that won't really become a problem unless I somehow went off, which is really unlikely for a professional shitposter.

Your "Agile" process is probably why your delivery feels chaotic.

If your predictability depends on story point Tetris, “Scrum-fall” sprints, or the big-batch theatre of an Agile Release Train, you're not taming complexity. You're institutionalising it.

Unevenness in how work flows is Mura, and it’s the real source of waste. Part 2 of my blog series breaks down how to measure this and how to actually fix it.

I have no idea why it’s taken me so long to link the two, but this NIN album in particular so obviously influenced Ghostemane (especially N/O/I/S/E which I love).

You will all know this already.
