The Sleeping Party, pStan Batcow's long-awaited book, is now officially published, released and as wonderful as a very wonderful thing. Details are available on the Stanzine Publications website (www.batcow.co.uk/stanzine/), or you can go direct to the bookstore webpage and order your copy there: https://www.lulu.com/shop/pstan-batcow/the-sleeping-party/paperback/product-e7jd848.html?page=1&pageSize=4.
If you could read the music of Pumf Records rather than listening to it, this is what it would be like!

On the back of the book it says: Meet Eddie. Meet Trish. Meet Rick, Anna, Phil, Julia, Victor . . . find out how their lives intersect and what happens to them when they think you’re not watching. Take a journey through the minds of these folk who, assembled together for a night’s sleep, are bei...

I've just received the first copy of my book 'The Sleeping Party' from the publishers. I'll be reading it through this week as a final error-check, to make sure the quality is as high as you have come to expect from the world of Pumf and Stanzine, then I'll be making it available for sale at none of the shops near you.
I'll let you know soon where online you can buy your copy from (and several more for friends, relatives and complete strangers).

Ken Foster has just alerted me to an article about Pumf's godspunk compilation series on his plus one website - he's gone back to the start and looked at godspunk volume one (released in 2003). The article's so good it made me want to go out and buy a copy of the album . . . but then I remembered.
If you'd like to see what he thinks, have a look at

Label: PumfArtist: VariousFormat: CDTitle: Godspunk (Volume 1) - released July 7th, 2003 “Possibly the strangest music on the planet” Now up to Volume 27, we thought we'd have a look at the evolving multi-headed monster that is the Godspunk music compilation series. And what better way to start ...

Just heard from Jamie that the new 'Exquisite Tones . . .' compilation is available free on Bandcamp at https://shackinthebarleyproductions.bandcamp.com/album/exquisite-tones-for-oozing-ears-vol-iii-black-mass-at-halloween-2. It's the Halloween edition, so a spooky listening experience - not for the squeamish. Features tracks by Howl in the Typewriter, Quougnpt and Unaware (plus, of course, loads of other artistes).

I've just uploaded the video for the DOORGASM song dRESSAGE iS dEAD, which you can see at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsmV-1kVEk8. The song was featured on godspunk volume twenty-six compilation album, still available from the Pumf Records website and Bandcamp. It's taken far too long for the video to be completed, but you can see for yourself that it's been worth the wait - how many other videos take their starring actor through mysterious DOORGASM portals into the world of backwards horses and back again . . ?

In true Pumf style, here's a promo video for a song from the Howl in the Typewriter album 'Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Mind', which was released a year ago. People might say we should be advertising the NEW Howl album 'Cutting Wood When The Wind Is Blowing' . . . but, there'll be plenty of time for that after we're dead.

'The Cosmic Annihilator' is a song by the spacedronenoiserock unit Heffalump Trap. This version was recorded between 2022 and 2024, and appears on the album ...

The closing date for the PAWGASM competition was the 7th August, and you all excelled yourselves by not entering in droves. The number of entries we received almost reached one, proving without a doubt that you are a Nation Of Animal Haters* - for who wouldn't want to win a lovely blanket for a loved pet, were that pet indeed loved?
Anyway. The winning entry was in fact a non-entry, thus:
"I don’t have a submission for the PAWGASM competition but think that the competition should be submitted photo of pets with paws and the word PAWGASM featured in the photo (in some way)", which was sent in by Gareth Jackson. He wins the blanket, which is in the post to his cat.
So Pumf is setting world records again, this time by creating the first instance in world history of awarding a competition prize to someone who specifically stated his intention not to enter the competition.

*The acronym NOAH must mean that Noah's Ark was a massive exercise in self-punishment, must it not . . ?

Shaun Robert's IFAR Label has just released another in the series of compilation albums containing tracks all 4.33 in duration, this time called 'The Word' (and featuring a Howl in the Typewriter track at number 7 on the tracklist). I've just vastly improved my Sunday morning by listening to the album, and although it's too late for you to do the same you could vastly enhance some other time period of your life by listening:
