Might make this the cover of my *next* album

The cool thing is everyone who bought the Velvet Underground’s second album went on to start 2 bands, customers of their 3rd LP started 4 bands, every owner of Loaded each started 8 unique music groups, and people who bought Live At Max’s Kansas City each founded 16 different musical ensambles.

Feel like @harrysword.bsky.social will enjoy this one, for some reason
Michael sounds absolutely amazing too, completely inhabiting it. I’m so grateful for the life giving properties this footage has given
Sheer Verhoeven, quite literally
I've been reading Chris's auras for some time so I think I must've become in sync
Yes, weirdly I'd just entered this period right before that particular entry happened. Fate!
Having an unexpected late in life love-in with Buzzcocks and Pete Shelley solo stuff. One of those ubiquitous kind of bands and artists that I always liked but had never deep-dived into. When music you thought you knew regenerates itself before you – what an absolute treat

I’m sure it’s less of a choice and more that Jonze is one of those directors who just can’t get original, narrative features funded anymore. It is a tragedy.

This is so very Sword
I think a Quietus run daytime rave would appeal to the subscriber base
The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.
This new song by @william-doyle.co.uk won’t allow me to stop listening to it youtu.be/jGCCKAR2FF0?...
Think I found your culprit, m8
I genuinely had an in-house tech who looked almost exactly like this once. He was wearing a much-too-small for him 'RADIOHEAD CREW' t-shirt and he was playing a Richard Cheese / Lounge Against the Machine cover of a Limp Bizkit song over the PA. "I know what you're thinking! You know this song"
Humans usually extract info from these fictive agents (Zeus, Pooh, E. Bennett) without believing they're real. But in psychopathologies people treat fictive agents - saints, spirits, actors, celebrities - as real influences on their actions. Chat GPT is just the latest example.
He’s fairly prolific but this one does seem to be really connecting with people.
I think he’s the most overlooked songwriters of the last 20 years. I don’t know if this one will be an entry point but I recommend finding a way in for sure
The Beatles' "Abbey Road" is the first known album that was recorded on a road. What makes it especially impressive from a technical point of view is how little traffic noise was picked up. Given the huge volume of cars in London, this type of album would be nearly impossible to recreate nowadays.
Ah, you can't purchase music directly from Bandcamp on your iPhone. Never have been able to and potentially never will. Thank you very much for purchasing though and I hope you enjoy
It’s Bandcamp Friday if anyone fancies bunging me a few beans

Very kind! I do believe there are though? I just checked! Send me a screen grab if they're not showing up for you
happy I found this again---a favorite clip of Eno and Cale in the studio, 1989. "Are any of the other verses all right?" "I don't think so, no."
I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

I powerfully want to read or see this
Congratulations! Nice to see Mark and Alasdair also holding big bags of money. The music industry lives!!
