Review | The Heads - yourprettyplaceisgoingtohell by Martyn Coppack
"Two decades on from their last album, The Heads fifth is a heady stew of the sounds that make them such a vital force in psychedelic music."

Review | Gout – Actual Bastard by @ouchmonkey.bsky.social

Review | VLMV - There Will Come Soft Rains by @teamhorse.bsky.social

"Literally a game of two halves, this release. For the Lightning Bolt half, it’s another blast of sublime aural extreme greatness."

Yeah it's terrible. I blame my tiredness after a long 5 days music festival, but I can totally see loads of people making this mistake genuinely.
Glad I spotted my error before closing the envelope.
Yeah I just read that as well. Initially I was like "ah well, it's a mistake but at least the vote is going to a different green party", how wrong could I be? I'll be on the phone first thing tomorrow asking for new form and complain.
Cost them 2 seats apparently!
@scottishgreens.org Just letting you know about this, though I'm sure you are well-aware already. I will call for a new postal vote form tomorrow.
I know! Just reading up on their Wikipedia page, and it seems it's a commonly made mistake!
Bloody hell, why is there a "Independent Green Voice" Scottish political party?? In my post-Roadburn tiredness I accidentally selected that instead of the Scottish Green Party. And they are apparently quite right wing. I have to apply for a new postal voting form now!
Just like to say, Roadburn has been a fucking blast. Best line-up post-covid years.
So fucking good! I'm at Acid Mothers Temple now to continue the Japanese theme.
I think there should be a rule for festivals. Number 1: when there's a Japanese band playing you should go and see them as they're always awesome.
Ja ik ben hier het hele weekend. Pigs was zo goed gisteren!
Yellow Eyes waking us all up on the second day of #roadburnfest. @roadburnfest.bsky.social #rb26
This is quickly becoming my favourite @pigsx7.bsky.social gig ever. The sound on the @roadburnfest.bsky.social main stage is HUGE!! @rocketrecordings.bsky.social
@stephanlam.nl @michelr.bsky.social Gaan jullie nog burnen dit weekend?

Review | @sugarhorse.bsky.social - Not A Sound In Heaven by @teamhorse.bsky.social
"Sugar Horse pull off the unlikely feat of sounding like OMD and Ministry at the same time."

Review | Green Carnation - A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis by @zmnathanson.bsky.social
"Sanguis is harder, edgier, powerful, and it still manages to see what the band will do next for the third and final chapter in the Dark Poem saga that waits for us."

Review | Aggressive Perfector - Come Creeping Fiends by Martyn Coppack
"If you like metal, then this album is for you. It’s unabashed in its delivery, and more fun than an afternoon eating pizza, watching Return Of The Living Dead 3."

Review | Angine de Poitrine - Vol. II by @zmnathanson.bsky.social
"The second volume gets even wacky, dadaist, crazy, insane, and brilliant in a way those two guys can show how much wonderful music can come out of the Great White North."

Massive Fanx to Geoff and the good folks at @echoesanddust.com for these kind words!
