I was there on Saturday. Great goal. Nice result. But I wondered if it was a bit ominous that I felt we were hanging on against a poor side at the end. I want to be wrong, of course.

Taste good on a pizza…

Can we sub you on?

Need to confess that a friend got me this at the weekend! It is unopened so far…

Don’t get me wrong, I can listen to ‘Mogwai Fear Satan’ over and over - and I have no problem with noise. I like noise. But composure suits Mogwai, and pieces on that album have me brimming with tears and joy at the same time.

Thought it was perfect then. Think it’s perfect now.

Eric Dolphy. On a Monday.

Monday.

Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I can take or leave (usually leave) RHCP, but the harmonies and backing vocals on this record are flawless.

Oh Elizabeth Jennings. Why have I just found you? I love you. From selected poems @carcanet.bsky.social 🩷.

The Mekons.

Do you like the Mekons? I like the Mekons.

This is a great book- you should buy it. Read this intelligent review first, though.

Venus… like a fsa cover.

Venus, fsa styling.

Come, friendly bombs…

Interesting enjambment and Modernist use of punctuation in the Bee Gees milieu. *

Really does - holding it in my hands and thinking about following it up by buying the debut (?).

A little bit of Hanakiv.

“…in battleship grey…” - great line: and the one about bands clearing out their spare room! Brilliant song. Brilliant album. It’s been in my head for a few weeks. (But ‘Falmouth Electrics’ might just pip it in my book).

Veronika - looped on a Zoom.

Back in rehearsal - trying to work out how we turned the loops of rough guitars and feedback into songs so that we can play them to people and sell some records…

Good tea and the revolution are not binary opposites!

One of the better lyrics on the album! So corking teenage lines in there. But the duckettaducketta durrrr, duckettaducketta durrrr durrrr is unparalleled! (Hope you’re ok!)

Yes. I am home from work. How was work, you say?

Really enjoyed this - thank you for posting it. Looked at getting a physical LP… but the shipping!

The quote is Debord… possibly predictably. This is where someone has kicked a whole at ground level in London of a plexiglass map for visitors.

The quote is Debord… possibly predictably. This is 20 Fenchurch Street: the ‘Walkie Talkie Building’. Exerting its influence.

London micro / London macro (effect: cause). “Architecture must advance by taking emotionally moving situations, rather than emotionally moving forms, as the material it works with…. The experiments conducted with this material will lead to unknown forms.”

Interstellar

Sleater Kinney’s brilliant album: ‘No Cities to Love’.

“There are no cities… no cities to live…”

Follow this planetary drift.

It’s going on the record player…
