It should be recommissioned starring Russell Brand. A sure-fire hit.

Please god, bring back CDs and spare me further mortification.

I played the entire album at 33rpm by mistake on first listen. It wasn’t problematic. Crawling crushing throb.

Nobody feeds me.

Now playing. I saw many Branca shows and he would regularly storm off at the end in a performative huff. No Wave Diva.

Handsome

Now playing. Still sounds fabulous.

Reading an unfamiliar weather app: “21 degrees tomorrow!”
It was actually the date. Duh.

Power Sturgeon

Now playing. Weird happy-clappy Pye Corner Audio, like some ecstatic sun cult.

They’re calling it ‘Ambient Antisemitism’ apparently.
I’m looking forward to Music for War Crimes.

(Priest) maintains that “Ballard made a mistake when he wrote Empire of the Sun, that the work that came after was less intense, less radical, that in revealing the source of his inspiration he had drained himself dry.”

Lovely walk today, ruined by the pile of human jawbones.

The pup’s enthusiasm for eating wasps is going to backfire very badly.

The Secret Agent. After a bravura first fifteen minutes it’s really rather baffling. Why’s he in trouble?

Now playing. Despite affection for Steve Hillage I have never gone near this stuff, fearing it was crusty psytrance. It’s serviceable doof.

‘..like the Marx Brothers scored by Harry Partch.’
Ian Penman very good on the Beach Boys.

Can chocolate cookies go off? ‘Best before 05 April’. It smells weird but I am pressing on.

Now reading.

Robert Del Naja might get immediately re arrested.

Dancing with the pup in the kitchen to Timo Maas’ Dooms Night. He’s never heard it before.

They do still sound amazing.

Blimey. New Tom Waits music, and it’s a collaboration with Massive Attack. Blimey.

It’s all gone a bit EXTRMNTR.

Now playing. Lordy, the snares on 80s Scritti. Like having your head slammed in a car door.

Ian Watson RIP. The Embedding was a wild book.

All music aspires to the condition of Suicide.

That’s one of their best songs IMO

Now playing.

They are breaking all ten showbiz rules there.
