Anyone read this guy? To me he's just about interesting enough to merit his own thread instead of the passing mentions that are generated from the "what are you reading now?" thread. A few years ago I read his novel The Brief Wondrous LIfe Of Oscar Wao - a title there that is so stereotypically...

Obviously a psychopathic sexist murderous cunt but also a genius who made some truly visionary music. And wore some incredibly progressive wigs. Always find the parallels between Spector and Joe Meek fascinating too. Travelled almost the same road in the end though Meek was more in a hurry to...

The nth lockdown started in Portugal yesterday. For most of the rest of the time I've managed to cope with it all one way or another. I've enjoyed watching films, reading books, reading the internet, even trying my hand at some writing - and when I get really desperate I go on dissensus and talk...

Our show going out quite randomly today cos the radio station was on a break over Christmas and they didn't tell us so we made a show. In fact this show was cursed cos also our guest was unfortunately unavoidably unable to get a mix to us so we had to do the whole thing at the last minute only...

Anyone communicated with him lately?

Gloomy downbeat, fed up of bein locked up sound https://eastsideradio.live/

Everyone seen this? Seems like big news just filtering out now.

We're on Threads (or Threads*) Radio in a sec with our latest show. This one I was quite pleased with cos I really like lots of kinds of music and I always have the idea that I will be able to put them together in one dj set that flows fairly well, even though all the different types arguably...

Mentioned this in the castles thread the other day cos we planned to visit it. But - quick recap - if you're driving near Barreiro or Coina or whatever on the other side of the river from Lisbon you can't help noticing this weird spooky looking tower thing. There is a huge valley and right in...

I forgot to share the link for this, just on the off-chance that anyone might be interested....

Tune in now for our monthly Threads Radio show (5-7pm GMT) on https://threadsradio.com/. It's the asterisk button on the right This month no guests, just Idle Rich and Lizatron pulling together sounds from all ages and all styles and stewing them up into one relentlessly ebbing and flowing...

Fuck it let's have an EBM thread.... dark and pulsing with a cool name (until EDM ruined it), there's obviously an overlap with industrial and new beat and minimal synth etc in aesthetic if not in actual structure. I know that a load came up in the tune of the day thread but I think there is...

Far from an expert but there are some killer bollywood soundtracks out there.... I also dig the ones that are covers in all but name.... Or this kraftwerk soundalike (not a particular tune but the idea). RD Burman is kinda like the Morricone of Bollywood I guess... except he actually sings...

Yep, yet another advert from me. Sorry. Here's the thing, I got a friend who is doing a course in sound production or something in London and - I think - as part of his course or something he has to record a track from a band - but he's from Portugal so he doesn't know any bands there to invite...

The other day we wanted to watch the 2005 or whatever it is version of The Master and Margarita made for Russian tv. We found a decent one with subs on this Russian movies website - we'd used it before but thought we'd used up our free allocation so wasn't expecting it to work, but it let us...

On the radio yet again again. This time we're on Lisbon's East Side Radio live at 2pm UK time. Over the course of the next two hours I intend to play the whole of Jaguar No Me album which comes out on our label on Monday. Hope you can tune in. Listen here https://www.eastsideradio.live/

New show here... should probably be promoting our record which comes out in a few days but for some reason decided to play a load of completely different stuff starting with dub I seem to remember, mainly post-punk and dance music that sounds like post-punk (to me). https://threadsradio.com/...

What's your favourite one? We watched a documentary about the Beast of Bray Road - apparently there is this town in Wisconsin where loads of people have seen a seven foot tall hairy beast that looks like a dog walking on hind legs. So many people have seen it that there ought to be something...

Lisbon based record label Invisible Sounds launches on Monday 12th October with long awaited album Misekake by Jaguar No Me. Front man and main song writer Taishi Nagasaki (former bass player with Fat White Family) is the brain behind this psychedelic combo which formed in 2017, taking their...

Can these be real?
