Screw it, I'm going to see this again.

An interesting listen here. Recorded live in-studio and much more a collection of songs than their usual single-journey approach. Can't deny they deliver on the banger scale though. Loved it.

Kicking this #newmusicfriday off witu SLIFT. Architects of heavy cosmic structures. One of my most hyped releases of the year. #metalsky

Happy new Slift day to believers and non-believers alike.

Shaved my beard off and forgot it makes me look like a little lizard.

Is tomorrow shaping up to be the best #newmusicfriday of the year? My agenda: Urzah Slift Converge Death Cab for Cutie Blood Incantation Vince Staples August Burns Red Voivod Wallis Bird Big Special Everygrey Cyrha Xenosis Shane Embury

Masters of the Universe was awesome! Didn't expect much, but it's just a tonne of fun.

Sauce update. Solid kick to this.

Yessssssss!!! Possibly my greatest sporting achievement! I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=mG6...

A lot (and I mean A LOT) of self-proclaimed liberals and progressives and general "not a racist bone in my body" declare that they can look past the racism of BIRTH OF A NATION to see the art because they are immune to propaganda. While parroting debunked propaganda about what the film "invented"

My back feels much better after using a standing desk twice this week, but my calfs feel like FUCKING BRICKS.

This was real good. I'll be back on this for sure.

Kicking this #newmusicfriday off with the new Káryyn, 'Physics Universal Love Language'. Physics-based pop music. FFO: Holly Herndon, FKA Twigs, Woodkid, Julia Holter

It's one bloody day after another on this plain of existence.

This is so fucking funny Jesus Christ

Share a panel that always makes you laugh (it's two panels but I had to do it).

Micholas Foley!

Terracotta Pig, East Java, 15th century

Kicking this #newmusicfriday off with the new Anaïs Cardot EP, 'Map of Her Shadow'. Gorgeous sound, magic voice.

Tomorrow's #newmusicfriday agenda! Pig Dimmu Borgir Anais Cardot Future Islands Marmozets Aja Monet Alt Blk Era Hands like Houses Marisa Anderson Terskol Blindead 23 Bill Orcutt/Mabe Fratti

Tired of ironic needle drops in movies. Bring back nu metal.

Sons of Thunder! (Played by the brilliant Galactic Cowboys in Airheads.)

Have accidentally become the office novelty socks guy.

A tradition for me this particular night is digging up some new releases from the countries taking part in yon contest. A different type of dive uncovers new stuff. Anyway, tonight uncovered the latest from Crouch - Breaking The Catatonic State. Wim and Levy from Weigedood aboard and it rips.

Cable Boy killing it again. Stupidly good live.

Kicking #newmusicfriday off with the new Rhododendron. Prog metal, but very much the moody sort rather than the brutal. Cynic without the fuss. Has a pinch of post-hardcore crunch to it. Very nice start to the day.

Genuinely have lost a massive chunk of enthusiasm for listening to music just from getting a phone with no earphone jack port in 2023. This can't continue. The alternatives just don't work as well in any way. New phone it is.

My #newmusicfriday agenda: Mirror Revelations - Krautrock Bicurious - Math rock Rhododendron - Prog Periphery - prog/tech Defect Designer - Tech death Tank & the Bangas - Neo-soul Daisy Grendade - punk Port Noir - alt metal Crown Lands - Prog Primordial Black - Black/death Sum of Seven - Prog

I've never been this fucked up by hay fever before. I can feel it in my bones. It's been a week and my head finally feels like it's reapproaching anatomically correct size and shape.

ORGAN: Albums, albums, albums – American Football's not so understated return, US noise/psych rock band The Flavor That Kills, more North American alternative noise rock, this time from the fictional days of Birth (Defects) and... wp.me/p2ScbB-xNi

Advice/direction is welcome! I love the cinematic chaos of Mingus' Black Saint & the Sinner lady, love Matana Roberts' gripping narrative work, love Shabaka Hutchings and Patrick Shiroishi's textures, Meshell Ndegeocello's warmth, Amaro Freitas' mystical muscle. What else is good? #jazz #music

Still haven't really found a way to pin down or expand my taste in jazz beyond blindly winging it.

What a beautiful day.

Ignoring the National League North finals until it's over. Fingers crossed for Kidderminster Harriers.

I'm just here to post 'hell yeah!' under posts of people sharing cool movies or music. So my two cents is if you have an active interest or some strong opinions on cool movies and stuff, you don't need to go to all the bother of catfishing people.

Kicking today off with the new Otay:onii. Solid weirdo electronic/industrial ear scratching.

Makaya McCraven... pretty good!

Tonight!

It's not much, but it's lunch. Smoked salmon (lemon and pepper) 1/2 serving (€1.75) Uncle Ben's Wholegrain Mexican Rice (€2.25) 2 Fitzgerald's wraps (50c) Squidge of Nando's Mild Perinaise (Incalculable, and not a sauce I'll repeat) Total: €4.50

I was in no way prepared for Michael "Purely Sexy" Hayes to be the first face I saw in this film.

Kicking #newmusicfriday of with the new Jesca Hoop. Her last proper effort earned my AOTY so hopes are high.

Folks, they're putting out more music again tomorrow. For me: Jesca Hoop (alt-folk) Claypool-Lennon Delirium (Psych) 16 (Sludge) Effluence (Metal) Hiss Golden Messenger (Americana) Rónán Ó Snodaigh (Trad) Gabrielle Cavassa (Jazz) HEALTH (Industrial) Tori Amos (!) Knats (Fusion) World Peace (Filth)

Top night at the bello bar. Incredible stuff from Ian Nyquist to kick things off, and Claire Rousay was sublime.

Book bone-nana.

Really digging this new Miss Grit.

Hyped to be seeing Claire Rousay at the Bello Bar this week and Makaya McCraven in the National Concert Hall next week! Gooooood times ahead.
