Fantastic!

Underrated

Coincidentally, I was taking a largish sip of tea just as I read this post. Thank the lord that you were in an unusually sombre and advisory mode, rather than operating within the parameters of your more usual rib-tickling wordplay.

The album is great, really enjoying it 👏

Again: trans people are a very small minority. If your *KNEEJERK* reaction when you encounter these rare & beautiful butterflies is *ANYTHING* other than “What can I do to make your life a little brighter?” you need to interrogate yourself. Impede the life of trans ppl & you’re in danger, from me. ❤️

so far, they're following it

Congratulations - I loved that book!

One of their best. In my mind, it's kind of twinned with Possible Dust Clouds,another absolute corker.

NB this is part of how this is going. The idea that non-white people, whether British, or those fleeing harm, should be treated with dignity has gone from consensus, to debated, to an afterthought, and is sliding all the way over to counter-consensus.

Maybe try Knocking On Joe. He makes some cat noises on that one 👍

I mistakenly thought they were a noise band and have been belatedly discovering them, especially Fig.5 and Sacred Harp. Brilliant stuff.

I'm looking forward to that Pan American album

👍 (Throwing Muses was Red Heaven. Some weird autocorrecting going on there)

Shackleton - Euphoria Bound; Max Richter - 24 Postcards In Full Colour; The June Brides - The In Tape Recorings; Jackie O Motherfucker - Fig.5; Demdike Stare - Distort Decay Sustain_Fforward; Machinefabriek - Sol Sketches; Dead Center - Reverie; Throwing Muses - Reverie; Claro Intelecto - Neurofibro

Happy birthday, James!

I read Mood Indigo recently. The first half was bonkers and a bit annoying and the second half was kind of transcendental and really moving

lovely stuff

I rememeber seeing them in Brighton - a great gig and an enthusiastic crowd, but they had so few songs that they played Sheep twice. Only time I remember seeing a band do that in fact

Post a tree you photographed

Not usual at all to have @throwingmuses.bsky.social's Dave Narcizo as a guest in a podcast, so you should definitely check this out!

Maneater? I would love it to be Family Man!

I loved Brad's The North Sea project, which I first noticed through Boomkat aeons ago. Lost touch a bit afterwards, I must rectify that

1. Somewhere In China 2. Safety Net 3. All That Ever Mattered

Saw them a few years ago in Brighton in a terrific double header with @davidlancecallahan.bsky.social and they were very entertaining. Incidentally, The Wolfhounds were a brilliantly barbaric wall of noise that night, took the paint off the walls.
