Been revisiting the first couple of Mercury Rev albums and I completely forgot I have one of their guitars from that era. My dad saw them around that time and they smashed up a guitar, dad grabbed it took it home and screwed it back together

Have now listened several times and am a big fan of the new Charli XCX. Didn’t rate the singles at all when I heard them but they fit right in in the context of the record
Had to wake up for work at 5, was pleasantly chilly. Made the fatal mistake of deciding it was appropriate weather to put on my 15oz samurai chinos. Drowning in sweat under these. Awful
Apparently Tommy Lee Jones once bumped into his Batman Forever co star Jim Carrey at a restaurant. Jones despised him. Enraged he whispered into Jim Carrey’s ear “I cannot sanction your buffoonery.” That’s how I feel about Angine de Poitrine
There’s parts of the new Standing On The Corner record that kind of sound like if The Residents made a hip hop beat tape youtu.be/SpAqGSsg4Hs?...

The obnoxiousness of this Needle Drop quote. By sheer metrics sure, but what have you contributed in that time with that platform? Can even your fans point to an insight you’ve had that has stuck with them? No. What they remember is the time you gave an album a light 6 and they gave it a decent 8
Still In a Dream might be Simon Reynolds best yet. Think my favourite discovery is this gem of an album by Insides youtu.be/FXljIRnm1mg?...

The right wing press make this claim for every Labour leader, doesn’t invalidate the first claim at all.
Killer list this and what an a joy to discover this Bo Diddley performance. Had no idea he was doing stuff like this. Unreal youtu.be/qfaMoOYEG-M?...

The Quietus@thequietus.com · 2mo agoTo celebrate the publication of his new book, music journalist and author Simon Reynolds explores the repeated reinvention of the guitar throughout music history via 13 records, from Bo Diddley to Seefeel The Reinvention of the Guitar in 13 Albums, by Simon Reynolds buff.ly/MajgMuI
Hate this. Some dweeb talking to Tucker Carlson about Nick Land, Mark Fisher, Simon Reynolds, and Current 93. What a horrible timeline we’re in.
Even with all posthumous fanfare and now decades long drip of reissues Arthur Russell can never really be praised enough
I was there for this. it was bad. Folks trying to convince you the Delicious ep by Peace was “seminal”, that Wu Lyf were already sorely missed and one of the greats. The backwash of landfill indie. The last retch.
Think my favourite release from this year is probably this mix. DJ E continues to be the goat www.nts.live/shows/chuqui...

Was listening to Roni Size ‘Brown Paper Bag’ earlier. Sorry to be a hater, but it’s aged like milk. See also almost all of DJ Shadow ‘Entroducing’

Remember once a bunch of us at uni (quietus writers) were watching a film with a young Tim Curry in it and realised he’s the proper doppelganger of @luketurner.bsky.social
Crockett Houghton@crocketthoughton.com · 4mo agoTim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.
Already a ton of great music out this year. Recommend all of these
Doubt you’ll hear another rap record this year that has a squeaker mc over Cleaners From Venus
Stacked release day with new ones from Wendy Eisenberg, Los Thuthanaka, Earl Sweatshirt & Mike, and Sunn o))). Not dug into the latter two yet but very excited. Wendy Eisenberg is serious aoty contender and Los Thuthanaka are one of the best bands/duos on earth rn
Rather bleak if psychedelics inspired the new Harry Styles album. Like that scene in Friendship where Tim Robinson takes 5meo dmt and has a vision he’s ordering his regular at Subway but is gonna toast the bread this time
Mad that Frankenstein won three Oscars, and they were all for the way it looked. Very ugly film. Marty Supreme should have have won something. Far and away the best film nominated in the major categories.
Yes, James Blake’s music is bad, but have you considered his album art is also very very bad
Keep coming back to this, very modern rap that also happens to sound a bit like Arthur Russell, caroline, The Books, and Matmos youtu.be/_Xpwo4T2kXQ?...

Feel like I’m always having to hear about SNL, this is soft cultural imperialism I will not stand for! New Lorne Michaels documentary coming out and he’s always spoken about in hushed tones as some wise comedy sage behind the showbiz curtain but…
