Todayβs listening is this beauty on @room40.bsky.social room40.bandcamp.com/album/and-al...
They are very weird people, and it will be their downfall.
Performative religious nationalism might work in America, but most British people - including most Christians - think it's weird.
Well thatβs an, um, βinterestingβ take on both Britishness and Christianity. Almost like a divisive right wing political party doesnβt really speak for either.
Fennesz and KMRU both have the mix of melody, grit and noise that I love - bit of a dream collaboration for me.
Music from Memory is one Iβm familiar with, but otherwise this Aquaticos record is all new to me - sounds great, just my sort of thing.
Oh, completely, itβs a great record. And always good to see FSA get some love - one of my favourites, and that whole scene was amazing.
Yeah, itβs great . Donβt think itβs quite up there with MBV or FSA, but itβs very good.
Great to see Yellow Swans releasing new stuff. If only we could get same from MBVβ¦
His music is all awesome. This is, I think, first proper βalbum of the yearβ contender for 2026. Amazing record. And it has Fennesz on it. So, so good.
Stunning record. So, so good. kmru.bandcamp.com/album/kin
First proper βalbum of the yearβ of 2026. Awesome record.
"In her own quiet, determined way, she played a seminal part in three of the most important movements of Christian action through her lifetime"
Canon John Nightingale writes an #obituary of Ruth Tetlow β¬οΈ
Ah, just stupidly good. See rest of their stuff too. allpossibleworlds.bandcamp.com/album/8
Keir Starmer calls on Ineos and Man U co-owner Jim Ratcliffe to apologise βUK is being colonisedβ by immigrantsβ remarks. The prime minister said the tax exileβs comments were βoffensive and wrongβ.
Would be good if the Prime Minister and/or Home Secretary would for once come out and describe this as the unadulterated racism and xenophobia it so clearly is.
Theology PSA:
The New Testament never envisions a Christian nation-state or nationalism.
But it does envision a servant "kingdom" of peace, justice, and love where the poor are blessed, the powerful are brought low, and there is no longer "Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male and female."
Barney in Jurassic Park.
I donβt need anything as supreme as Loveless, but just to hear some new mad genius noise of mbv fresh would be both a treat and totally fitting to what weβre living though.
If Kevin Shields could please, pretty please, release the My Bloody Valentine archives before Trump destroys the world, that would be awesome.
Do say how many βBritishβ children Matt has. And letβs explore whether heβs had any challenges over fertility, etc, to decide whether heβs worthy of social honour or respect. Heβs a cynical idiot.
But they all seem so honest & competent!
It is indeed Bandcamp Friday. Todayβs finds include new stuff from Roy Montgomery and @blackknoll.bsky.social (both of whom are always special), and also picked up some great DJ Metatron and Dalek albums.
Somehow missed this on release, but my word itβs good.
Deadbeat not one Iβm that familiar with, although can see theyβve done stuff with Echospace and Om Unit, both of whom are great. Any recommendations for good intro records?
Wonderful record.
Yep. Still waiting for it to arrive. Donβt do vinyl so needed a cd copy, which limits options. Glad to find a decent version.
Sorry to soil my timeline but this did make me laughβ¦you?
Took me a momentβ¦
Greg Bovino was asked how he felt about his demotion today. "Well, obviously, I'm not happy", he replied. Someone in the crowd shouted back, "So which one are you?"
Ooh, couldnβt find any downloads but have tracked down a cd at decent price!
*checks discogs etc., sees prices * - right, need to find a download somewhere, or just YouTube it
