Photograph taken tonight from the car park on the estate. The top of a brick wall is visible in the foreground before the top of a row of houses.Behind these are large, dark, silhouetted objects, part of which resembles Silbury Hill! From behind there is a glowing, yellowy sky, which fades into a greyer, yet still kind of sepia-tinged, expanse. Tree branches entering from the far right of the picture just add an extra uncanniness!

There's an uncanny feel to tonight. Like someone's put a sepia filter on & turned down the volume.

It appears to be emanating from a ghostly glow out to the west. Which just may have spirited Silbury Hill into Knowle West...

Me too. Not least coz I'm in it 😉

Had missed there was new Abronia! 👍

Haha! Mine are a fair bit bigger than that now, but that means they take up much more space! 😉

Later today people. Come join the church

Maybe, friend. Daughters' demands dependent 😁 Sure it's a beauty, mind 👍

I dunno but lying in the dark blasting Xenakis' Persepolis at ear-splitting volume seems a very apt response to the current world situation

A wise decision, imho!

Damn right! Did you watch Ozark at all? Played out very similarly for me.

Thanks for sharing David. Articulated a lot of reasons why I bailed early on Breaking Bad. And for a piece over ten years old, still felt very relevant 👍

Actual lol

Listening to The Ramones in honour of my younger daughter's new haircut 😁

Well, I definitely don't remember them 😉

Does anyone remember fun?

Played this LP to death back in the day...no idea where that copy ended up but wish I still had it! ZTT was a godsend for early teen me 😁

Yeah, I know they'd been polished & styled to within an inch of their lives for mainstream success by this point, but what a slice of pop perfection this is 😍

From March 1988

The Primitives 'Crash' (TOTP 10/3/88)

Obviously have had no love for Morrissey in an age, but 'Suedehead' popping up on an old TOTP reminded me I made an "Every Day Is Like Sunday" pun at work this week & no one knew what I was on about...

*crumbles into dust* (yet again)

New Superior Viaduct vinyl reissue of Julian Hemphill's DOGON A.D.

Lined up for this evening 😍

Thanks mate 👍

There has to be some upside to this bullshit condition 😁

I really like the Zuniga, a lot more than I expected! The Vantzou too, probably my favourite of hers in a while. And thanks for the tip, don't know that one but will 😁

Cheers man, you too

Solidarity mate. Yeah, the Barbieri/Giske is lovely. Don't know the other one, mind, so ta! I'll take a listen 👍

Due to a big chronic fatigue flare-up this week, I've spent a lot of time in bed, but that does mean I've been listening to fantastic 'lying in the dark' music... Okkyung Lee, Lawrence English & Lea Bertucci, Annea Lockwood, Crys Cole, and stunning new LPs from both Christina Vantzou & Dagmar Zuniga
