"I don’t know why guitar playing is considered a masculine art, except it’s just been appropriated that way. It doesn’t require any great strength or some male brain pattern. In fact, it’s sort of feminine." - Poison Ivy #BOTD Poison Ivy, Lux Interior, Candy Del Mar, Nick Knox: THE CRAMPS
Introducing yourself with five concerts you’ve seen: The Birthday Party Throbbing Gristle The Fall Sunn o))) Goblin
“My music is fictional. But it’s based on different ethnic sounds and instruments. It was all sort of make believe...affectionate. It’s what people think the islands might be like.” -Martin Denny #BOTD
#TomWaits beautiful (yes) voice brief comments about songs, poems and some wisdom too. 1/2

Three picture discs, I always liked the idea of the vinyl album as a physical medium and the idea of using the format as an additional artistic medium always fascinated me. #VaginaDentataOrgan #JoeColeman #TextofLight #blastfirst #art #records #music @elementsarchive.bsky.social
I’m trying to post the books I’ve read this year on my Instagram, I’m wondering if I should double-up here, trying to share #smallpress and #independentpublishers titles as much as possible… here’s four - more to follow @semiotexte.bsky.social @garymundy99.bsky.social

Google removing dates such as Black History Month from their calendar is the perfect illustration of why you should support physical media. Do you want to outsource your books, films and music to people that can erase things at a whim? Buy books. Buy physical media.
Three more credits that caught my imagination #Swans Cop that has two credits for “tapes”, #CabaretVoltaire Red Mecca with a credit for “tape recorder”, and #EinsturzendeNeubauten with #LydiaLunch and #Rowland with a credit for “fleisch” (meat).
l always love credits for “tapes” on covers, today I pulled this album out, which I’ve owned for more than 4 decades, love these: “hollow metal object” “switching off the studio”. Reading these (& other) liner notes changed the way I thought about sound as a teenager. #mute #einsturzendeneubauten
I have a piece on the Coil / Gee Voucher exhibition in the latest issue of the #Coil zine published by @temporalboundary.bsky.social featuring an interview with Lee @isadoreducasse.bsky.social Kim @kimmoliver23.bsky.social #industrial #occult #postpunk #crass
@robinbougie.bsky.social nails this…
Robin Bougie@robinbougie.bsky.social · 2y agoNone of this should be controversial or something feels defensive about when someone else mocks them for it, or accuses them of it. Living in a society where we bend the knee for the ignorant and selfish and hold their traits up as some kind of standard is backwards shit, man.
Today’s post, looking forward to listening and viewing the contents, a beautiful object to hold, #industrialmusic @muterecords.bsky.social @throbbing-gristle.bsky.social
The marginal details of the David Lynch memorial at the Burbank Bob’s Big Boy are what make it.
Eraserhead changed my young brain, expanding my idea of cinema and the possibilities of art. Alternative Tentacles released the soundtrack and I remember listening to it, immersed in its layers. 1/3

I purchased CDs and records this year, listened to a lot of music. And today I got a live version of Grotesque After The Gramme by The Fall. I’ll buy more music before the year ends. I got them from local record shops. #music #physicalmedia #independentrecordshop#supportwhatyoulove
The starter packs seem like a good idea for pooling resources and contacts, q. has anyone made ones for #independentfilm #undergroundfilm #smallpresspublishers #indiepublishers #indierecordlabels #independentbookshops etc? #undergroundculture #books #film #music #collaborations
If you’re going to buy something for a gift… I believe there’s a few copies of this left
