Luke's reaction to the sublime Forever Changes is very strange.

MM O'Hara is wonderful. Sister of the actress in Schitt's Creek. Fairly recently covered by Perfume Genius and given a kind of queer-theory / non-binary reading, but not as nice to listen to. Moby Grape stature mystifying. Rated highly by Greil M and people like that. Also Britcrits who...

hearing Green Velvet "Flash" in a club in Germany, in 96 i think, - "oh, house music, it's got interesting again" - the DJ was Gene Farris

he should do a book about all the music he doesn't like

Overblowing, I think that's called - unusual rhythmic use of an instrument that doesn't lend itself to that I am working on a counterfactual story in which Kraftwerk meet the young Giorgio Moroder in the late Sixties, he hears potential in "Ruckzuck" and produces it as a single, makes it more...

Parmegiani and Bayle out in front, a little behind Reibel, Risset, Ferrari, and then it would be a tight pack with Ferreyra, Malec, Redolfi, Zanesi, et al. Jaap Vink straggling far behind, despite the promising name.

Well, I clicked on this thread expecting to get recommendations for records that I would never get around to listening to - wasn't expecting to be confronted with that. The hair gel years. This has been the leanest year for music I can remember but then I have been distracted by all that's been...

well, in a way, it's probably highly enjoyable for her, plunging into this conspiracy netherworld. makes life more exciting. exercises the brain. the world seems stranger, more interesting. unless she's really anxious all the time about dark malevolent forces. what's odd is that she's a...

thanks for the tips! my mum mentioned that article in the Observer, but i gather it's not much cop then? yeah I think that's probably right, no point in striking a stern, judgmental tone, tempting as it is - or getting into the weeds with facts and details a more "hmm, but don't you think...

:cry:

A very old friend with a brilliant mind has fallen down the wormhole. The signs were there some years ago when this person sent a link to a video purporting to show armored vehicles stockpiled in readiness for a military takeover of the USA. It was quite a sight I must admit - field after field...

"the difference between him and Trump is nonetheless quite substantial"?? vast, yawning gulf more like. to be understating the immensity of it, the deliverance of it - even as the current occupant is enforcing a delusional counterfactual reality of his own dreaming on the country, while...

woo hoo

woohoo

yes, how on earth did that come about .... "Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man"

One confusing thing about politics in the USA is that "blue" is the colour of the Democrats and "red" is the colour of Republicans. The colour semiotics are completely inverted from the rest of the world.

The blue meanies, as in the Beatles cartoon movie Yellow Submarine Corbyn's favorite song is "Imagine". Which made me like "Imagine" for the first time - it basically is "The Internationale" with piano.

I remember it (from late 80s, going to clubs with names like Hard) as being tiring to dance to - it was missing something, a wiggle in its walk, that house had. Belgian teknohaus took the sounds and vibe of EBM but added the wiggle.

This has spurred me to attempt to wean myself off it. I'm going to shove it up on a high shelf and only take it with me when I go out - which at the moment is very infrequently. Oh and FaceTime my mum. But that's it.

that was unclear pf me - i meant that she gave me her old smartphone, first in a series of used, lagging behind the state of the art, but still demonically potent iPhones dumbphone - love it. that's what i want. with a dumbphone, I'd be smarter. i'd be spending more of my in transit time...
