new interview with marta forsberg at @foxydigitalis.bsky.social - album out next week foxydigitalis.zone/2025/09/25/t...

A depression of cheese wotsits

Incredible to think this 40 seconds of magic was recorded in 1967/1971. bernardparmegiani.bandcamp.com/track/je-tu-...

Houses in Brussels I will never ever own. Part 1 of the longest list in the world.

Postman's been. It can rain as much as it wants for the next few days. I have THE RAINCOATS.

Saul Bellow nailing* the importance of physical media (cf:, lps, cds, dvds, etc) from The Dangling Man, 1944. * for me, anyways

Like to subscribe to one new thing per year. This year it's The Wire.

Another artist pushing through the seams of packaging norms. "Packaged in a squashed can with 2 sets of nuts and bolts holding the package together." advaitarecords.bandcamp.com/album/squash

Not a record, but a tape recording of a gig. Lent it to a friend with a reputation for losing stuff. He lost it, and so too was the only recording of that gig.

"Part of the sale included an agreement to have the seller board a plane and hand-deliver this incredibly valuable 7” to its new owner." www.discogs.com/digs/collect...

Dumped on the streets of Saint-Gilles.

7 years ago, living in Dakar, there was a storm coming.

Patience is a virtue. #WorldBollardAssociation

The longer you spend in the county, the easier it is to recognise a Wood Sprite's home tree. Even without offerings, there's a palpable sense of being watched, an atmosphere of potential ambush. What some Hooklanders call: 'an air of ancient unease'. – #MattAdams

Vinyl for sale

Rocket-shaped Kuba Komet, 1957. Featured a 23″ B&W television, eight speakers, a Telefunken phonograph and a multi-band radio receiver.

Was walking to the post office in Brussels yesterday and came across this curiosity.

D, with holidays in A and C.

Ooh... just found out Jasmine Wood is playing Brussels next week. Hope she brings her tremolo pedal. jasminewood.bandcamp.com/track/viii-t...

What a frustrating experience this has been.

Another musician going that one step further in the packaging realm. "Limited edition 12" vinyl with lamented pressed flowers arranged by the artist herself." Kontrapoetik by Maria W Horn. xkatedral.bandcamp.com/album/kontra...

Guest Informant (Live in Vienna) #FallFriday

11 days of COVID. Through the worst of it, but really not fun times. Get vaxxed before winter, if you can.

Might have bought too much garlic.

The "final document" from Old Saw... Final? Say it ain't so 😿 Looking forward to The Wringing Cloth. #peordered lobbyartrecs.bandcamp.com/album/the-wr...

Dear #vinyl collectors. Do you have any regrets selling records? Just looking at a load of 7” records that I’m sure I’ll never play again and that someone somewhere would probably really enjoy.

Friend popped round, “thought you might like a FEW tomatoes”.

Truly shocking... 'Imagine discovering that your identity has been hijacked and someone is trying to trade off your name.' My identity has been stolen to produce fake AI-generated books in my name - @samblakebooks.bsky.social via @independent.ie youtu.be/pZxfNYucJrc?...

Le Gers ce soir @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Figure I can cart 15 LPs back to Belgium. That's 1 pick per day before I hit the road. Good for my brain and trickier than Wordle.

Inspired by a recent post on here, I wanted to dig out my copy of Marquee Moon, but could not find it... I ended up in the storage room, emptying a box of vinyl I've not seen for many a year. I'm going in.

Can't help but hear Derek Cooper's voice while rereading this. One of the great radio voices.

But did ChatGPT hallucinate?

Humm... C'est bon @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Great read on the making of a great album.

Wonderful new music from Lia Kohl, Whitney Johnson, and Macie Stewart, and an album forthcoming. Love how the drone on Stone Piece 1 drops into a Terry Riley-like loop. intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/body-s...

Looks fab. Would love to read. Not sure of the best way to buy in Europe.

Thursday thought

I used to attach this to an iPod to record interviews... 2006 ish? #Obsolete

Last played 5 years ago. The Blade Runner computer game has many different endings and I have yet to experience them all. I'm going in again. #BladeRunner

Le Gers @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Bought in Hanoi in 1999.

Too many Tic Tacs. Too much choice. So confused.

Hmm... I dunno... factor in stupidity and I find his explanation kinda plausible.

Great interview about The Raincoats, and the process of writing a book about them, with @audreyjgolden.bsky.social. Looking forward to reading Shouting Out Loud. pca.st/episode/ae81...
