Dreamed of being a keeper as a kid. This was great - wish I had the swag to chuck the key in the canal on my last day. Hope @michaeltanner.bsky.social is free to do the music for the play after his excellent Smalls Lighthouse LP on @claypipemusic.bsky.social: www.claypipemusic.co.uk/2018/07/plin...

The impossibly small Prudence*. (*name subject to change)
A victory for common sense. Falklands flag-waving bastards will all be back in the UK in a fortnight picking up 100k+ a week and claiming it was all a ‘misunderstanding’.
Guaranteed, Coldplay will show up wherever shit turns to diarrhoea
An unearthly gorgeous performance here. I went to the funeral of a Thai composer in Bangkok last week. 100 of the composer’s students (!) played the Thai khim along with a recording of their teacher playing over the PA. The overtones were nuts. Video actually caught the sound pretty good.
The Bible. My Nan gave me her copy in ‘83 and we’d pick out places to visit in the Summer holidays with my drunk Grandad behind the wheel of a blue cortina. Still looking for Herne’s horn every time I pass a tributary in Windsor Great Park.
David Barnett@davidmbarnett.bsky.social · 3w agoDo you have a copy of the Reader's Digest Folklore, Myths and Legends? I've written about it for the @theobserveruk.bsky.social this weekend. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...
New on Hwael Mag — a long read on @claypipemusic.bsky.social: the record as a hand-made object, and why the label stays small on purpose.
Clay Pipe Music at Low Tide
For fifteen years Frances Castle's Clay Pipe Music has treated the record as a hand-made object — illustrated, numbered, bound to a place. A field guide to a label that maps a minor, overlooked Englan...

Neymar showing up here is like Syd Barrett walking into the studio during the Shine On You Crazy Diamond sessions.
Today I learned about the existence of a Kraftwerk boot wherein shoddy AI has rendered all band members as a sort-of techno JD Vance gangbang.
Does anyone else own this LP and get hit with a seismic dose of nostalgia when playing it? PD James Black Tower, Clannad’s ‘Robin’, Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Chi Mai…The sounds wafting in from the TV room when you were meant to be in bed for school the next day.

Drumming up interest for a Steve Reich How To Buy in @mojomagazine.bsky.social. Don't get phased. What are your favourite recordings of Shaker Loops, Different Trains, Desert Music, Clapping, 18 Musicians, Jacob's Ladder Double Sextet... etc. Best replies will go in the mag. Show your workings.
I know @andrewmale.bsky.social will agree with me on this one…criminally underrated small press British folk that recalls Lal Waterson’s darker songs for Bright Phoebus. Stone Circles, Celtic mysticism and a Tim Buckley cover that doesn’t suck.
I think I make this my fourth or fifth copy, but nice to finally grab a red label in pristine nick. A proper old fashioned ‘why you get up early for a boot sale’ morning.

Like sitting in a warm bath. Labradford boot from 1999. Saw them at The Garage on this tour with Stars Of The Lid and it was heavenly.

I’m not sure I buy all the Lynch allegations, but Backrooms was decent.
Was lucky enough to have in my possession a bundle of ‘Source’ magazines (temporarily) - a late 60s treatise on avant garde music complete with 10inch records including the first recording of Lucier’s “I am sitting in a room”
