Great show, and the segue from Temples to Through The Night was sublime.

I'm hearing fifa have made a few rule changes for the final - they've dispensed with the orange segments & cigarette at half time; the ball can be thrown forward to restart play; and to score the ball must be carried over the goal line (goal line is now the width of the pitch).

If you're after a half hour of accompanied grounding & quiet reflection try Joanna Brouk's The Space Between followed by Sir Richard Bishop's Saraswati. joannabrouk.bandcamp.com/track/the-sp... sirrichardbishop.bandcamp.com/track/sarasw...

Psychic Lemon continue their impressive run of releases with the Ostara Offerings EP, now dropping in Iain Roddick on saxaphone. Closing track Attestupa hits like Major Force's Sax Hoodlum taken on an intergalactic expedition. psychiclemon.bandcamp.com/album/ostara...

This is a rare and perfect evening for kayaking. Absolutely still, no sailors, high tide, sea like a mirror, and you have it all to yourself.

Highlight from yesterday's Wanderlust was Daphney at Heartbreakers, early up and set the scene. Cruised through all the broken strings.

I enjoyed how Pete articulates this point - "Marilyn Manson (a Munsters version of something that was once pure and new and British)".

Dear god, day two of the tribute band festival in a local field has just started up. Last night's headliners, about whom it's Rather Hard Commenting Positively particularly sounded like the clanging of ill-tempered buckets.

Muriel Grey had a great run of shows sitting in for John Peel this week in 1985, the first time I heard Vic Goddard & Subway Sect's Don't Split It, from which I haven't yet fully recovered - youtu.be/XpEtv3o1XzM?...

Coolest woman in a movie?

Among my favourite tracks of the year, for me Bill has encapsulated many nuances of the 90s good stuff whilst unerringly looking forward. Title is beautifully autological. Reminds me when Roy Montgomery casually released Electric Turbulence in 2024, yeah ok, that's how it's done. bit.ly/40FG5LK

This is a fantastic distillation of sound.

Fond memories of Madame Cholet

It's comforting discovering that woodwind players are the radicals in an orchestra, and the flautists are away with the faeries.

Post some zen to the feed

A rare transcendental gig experience on Tuesday night: harmonium, bowed hammer dulcimer, bowed double bass & Lisa O'Neill on nylon strung guitar. For a brief period everything slowed & elevated. What a sound.

And if that isn't enough of a draw, it's a seated auditorium.

Due to circumstances etc... I have a spare ticket for Lisa O'Neill tonight at the Lighthouse in Poole. Free to a good home.

It's good, but it isn't a dying boiler playing Brötzmann
