'More unexpected influences come into the mix on Playing With Fire: the Stones at their least Stonesy on ‘Moonlight Mile’, Kraftwerk, even Laurie Anderson. The guitars are so processed and phased they feel more like synths' Simon Reynolds on #Spacemen3 - Playing With Fire buff.ly/BaLnY0F

Never change, Glasgow.

My new album “Solus Rex” is out now on all platforms, vinyl & CD via @glassmodern.bsky.social An excerpt of the sleevenotes written by Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3): “A commitment to the committed […] Please take it home, let it into your lives & enjoy!”

Unexpected live cover of Spectrum's Razzle Dazzle Mind by @stoneanthem.bsky.social at Mono last night, on a bill also including The Cords and Radhika, the latter celebrating their LP's placing on the Scottish album charts, and a DJ set by Steven of @thepastels.bsky.social. A celebratory evening!

The second sentence of this post is so shocking that I had to reread it about six times to be sure that it really says what it says. And it really does. Try replacing “trans men and women” with “Black people” or “gay people” or “short people” and see how that sounds. Seriously, listen to yourself.

Fantastic show by The Utopia Strong at Cottiers in Glasgow last night, a little different to our usual fare but hugely effective and well matched to the setting. Despite their seriousness in these pics they were happy and smiling at the end!

Disappointed that we didn't get the Green win in Kelvin & Maryhill, but not unhappy with an SNP hold as second best.

Let's do it.

“When you’re not doing so well, vote for a better life for yourself. If you are doing quite nicely, vote for a better life for others.”

I appear to be on a train next to @mralistairgreen.bsky.social, from the way he is pronouncing on many varied topics, from politics, movie stars of the 80s, the most famous person to have come from Crawley, etc.

Regardless of polls, dont get complacent/despondent (bit of balance 🙂) get out and make sure you vote. Unless you are planning on voting reform, in which case, lock yourself in an airless room, check yourself into an institution for help or just go fuck yourself.

Now spinning at my house, the glory of the rock'n'roll cosmos: Recurring (1991) by Spacemen 3...the 78-minute CD version is far superior than the much shorter LP, as it stretches out the mesmerizing experience of this lush neo-psychedelic ocean dosed with vintage electronics and reverbed guitars

And this Spiritualized one from 1998 www.youtube.com/watch?v=74Aj...

I'm going to listen to the post 'Let It Come Down' Spiritualized albums soon. In case I'm missing out on some goodness, and also to see if my hunch of Spacemen 3 = Winter and Spiritualized = Summer is true

Ausnahmsweise eine Zugabe. Das zurückgenommen letzte Stück von Calibre erinnert eher an Spacemen 3, als an Sun Ra. Wobei deren Sun Ra Cover wiederum, in Anlehnung an MC5, die Version der Version, fett krawallt. #SunRa #Mc5 #Spacemen3 #RenePop

Everything good in my life has been a direct result of being a Spacemen 3 fan. I don’t consider this to be small or inconsequential either.
