One of my favourite new tracks at the moment reminds me of Doves and has this mindless Mancunian groove. A track from a new album from an Oldham and Surrey duo. Music for musicians. Top class.

This is a true pop fact.
Which one?
Gary Clail - End Of The Century Party album cover. Old looking photograph of a group of people with their fingers in their ears, overlaid with a series of concentric circular lines in a reddish sepia tone.
"A college friend introduced me to African Head Charge, Dub Syndicate, and Bim Sherman. He got me into this album. There’s something about what On-U Sound make explicit, which is that dub is the counterculture speaking."
George Shaw on Gary Clail - End Of The Century Party

This perfectly describes this sense of ‘inflation’ during grief. I genuinely thought I was alone in this queer sensation.
One of the club nights I miss most wasn’t a club but a pre-club bar. Eardrum by Ear To The Ground at Dry 201 in Manchester in the late 90s.
Made a playlist inspired by that night. Can’t find a Kingrib track to add though. May add Simian Mobile Disco.

Just added a very nice tracky ambient album by Marconi Union to the share. It has a very likeable Glastonbury vibe to it. @bellaunion.bsky.social @bellaunion.bsky.social

That is lovely to know.
Paul Haig ‘I Believe’ 12” absolute banger that reminds me of the very very early Haçienda.
I have been doing the same. Yesterday I revisited Thirteen Senses first album, which is such a bloody joy.
In 2019 I asked the promoter Chris York what his favourite gig was and he texted back,
‘One of my favourite ever Gigs was Levitation and The Cardiacs double header at the Venue in New Cross when I ran it.’
A 5 X 4 ft canvas as the end of my bed with an Anais Nin quote from her childhood diary note to her errant father saying ‘I am not afraid but hold my hand’.
If I’m holidaying on the moon I want a space bunk with knock out gas a la 5th Element. Not some DunElm bedroom display with my mother’s pillow fixation.
While twitter is down, here are some nice new finds. Just added a Jazz House 2025 playlist, which is nice for the weekend.

I feel I’m morphing into a Carhartt drenched head-nodder that only listens to carefully curated ambient.

Added a few good albums recently. Chaos Magik and 2t2 and Double Infinity very much worth your Saturday morning bimbling soundtrack. Although I do think the 12” of Slave To The Rhythm very loud is the ultimate vacuuming track. #NewMusic

Added some more to the shares. A few I missed over that past year or so and some fresh releases. #music #indie #ambient #shoegaze #EDM

I built a Soundcloud for someone that’s not here anymore so we could swap tunes. So I’ve made my finds & reposts public. Recently added Alison Goldfrapp, recently found Cottons, Tomino & Charlie Cunningham. Dig in. Enjoy. Live life to the fullest. #newmusic #indie

If you’re feeling like everything is way too fucking intense at the moment, for whatever reason, I have a 40 min slow jam of Wichita Lineman, that I am finding quite helpful to wright my psychological ship. #music #musician

Added a few nice albums released over the past twelve months to the playlist if you’re interested in some long players. #music #newmusic #album #single

Twitter is absolutely imploding. Not sure what’s going on but looks like mElon is back under the hood playing with the code.
