I hear a lot of things.
Tim "Shogun" Wall is the punk Levi Stubbs and I had no idea this had arrived earlier in the year so hooray. antennnnna.bandcamp.com/album/antenna-2
I know this is a narrow criticism but casting David Bamber as Mr Collins in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice completely killed the bit.
Time for #365daychallenge - the hashtag game that doesn’t like horror movies. Following on from Mondays question, @BettyStovesEyes asks which TV or film adaptation do you wish didn’t exist as it doesn’t match the picture in your head.
The most thrilling single second on any live record ever is the segue from Cowboy Song into The Boys are Back in Town on Live and Dangerous. 20 August 1949 - Forever.
Almost unbelievably, GBV have had the same lineup for eight years, and this is an authoritatively dispatched complement to the recent Strut of Kings.
Bee Thousand has reached the ripe old age of 30! To celebrate, Bob and band have recorded a new version of “I Am A Scientist.” Listen at the link here! lnkfi.re/scientist30
Playing with Martha Reeves at 23:55 in the most recent episode on the Midnight Special channel: actual James Jamerson. youtu.be/4JVEoBrnGLI?si…
I still don’t understand why Eddie Shoestring bothers putting a tie on if he’s not going to do it up. Be one thing or another, Shoestring.
I feel like I’m being harshly critical of a lot of things today, so I would like to take this opportunity to praise Don Henderson.
Meetings of the International Fencing Federation must be hilarious. “Mesdames et messieurs, we convene once again to consider how we can make fencing even more weird and stupid looking. Some people say it is not possible, but this is not the spirit of fencing, eh?”
Today’s reading. One is a masterful collection of tightly constructed, close observations of a stranger and more organic past, the other is the LoA complete novels of Hammett. @WhenIsBirths
New (old) Midnight Special from 1974 with stellar line-up of Curtis Mayfield, Gladys Knight, The Impressions and Phil Ochs, but the highlight is at 14:55 when Curtis (presenting) back-announces "Status Quo. Monstrous". youtu.be/jJGONuLG3dY?si…
One of the most startlingly confident records ever made. All five of them turn in huge songs and performances and, to borrow an expression from its producer David Rubinson, it drives like a motherfucker and that's where it's at.
Bought OTD in 1970 for just over a quid: this was yet another huge album for me at the time. Pretty much perfect: 13 precise, intense songs with cutting, acidic guitar and - on Omaha and Indifference- deep strangeness. First issue with offending digit
Just one awkward and peculiar moment after another with Liz Truss.
I would go so far as to call it (relatively) a pop record.

Half an hour of Genji and Genji-adjacent talk from NHK’s “Core Kyoto”, for those for whom too much Genji is not nearly enough. youtu.be/ylOhvWc7ofU?si…
