Returning with their first album in eight years, Guttersnipe's Uroceras Gigas and Tipula Confusa tell Natalie Marlin how xenofeminism can save rock music from stagnation, and what we can learn from non-human creatures Crisis Energy: An Interview with Guttersnipe buff.ly/EBJ51H7

"We’re sensory organisms. If you have to explain any kind of art or music too much for people to get it, then maybe it’s just not that good." YES Guttersnipe! A counterblast to what my pal calls 'CV Inflation' aka boring music w complicated cod-academic press releases thequietus.com/news/gutters...

Interview (in Serbian) with Oblakoder Magazine ahead of Fields, Belgrade April 17-19 www.oblakodermagazin.rs/od-rejva-do-...

'Anyone who recalls the beginning of Emir Kusturica’s Do You Remember Dolly Bell? may have suspected it all along: the Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia [SFRJ], far from banning rock music, actually organised it...' Was the 80s Yugo rock scene created by the socialist State? buff.ly/QT6Cu3y

Isn't this just the apotheosis of shit for cunts, what a time to be alive

Got the song Spoiled Victorian Child stuck in my head despite not knowingly having heard it for about two decades at least

"SHE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS...!!!" Etc. @bunnyhausen.bsky.social once again smashing it out of the park with her new album on @planetmurecords.bsky.social records.

This Saturday I'm launching my floral drum and bass album for @planetmurecords.bsky.social at Club Cheek in Brixton, which might be my favourite club space in London, now in the absence of Corsica Studios 😥 Will be joined by @plasticinfinite.bsky.social and Slav to the Rhythm 7-10pm early night kru

This is the courtyard outside The Cursed Child in the West End covered in protest chalk for Trans Day of Visibility. Well done, London. Well done.

Join Xylitol, Sculpture and, Slav to The Rhythm this Saturday in London, for an early evening show, celebrating the release of Bluemenfantasie. ra.co/events/2378293

Big up all the radical feminists whose feminist praxis consists of making shit clip-art and calling strangers 'troons' on twitter

A reminder that are around 10000 Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, most without charge or trial. A % of those are children. This is a carte blanche to execute all of them.

Please let's abolish TDOV

To launch my album I'm having a party at Club Cheek on April 4th. I've been overawed by the reception it's had but disappointed at the lack of artificial sweetener puns that have accompanied, which feels like a missed opportunity. At least Stevia Wonder would've merited an 'Aspartame Like it's 1999'

"If we simplify, we can say that Rammstein are Laibach for the masses, and Laibach are Rammstein for the gourmets." A statement from Laibach as part of this piece asking how much the socialist Yugoslav state might have been behind the country's 80s music scene: thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Favourite recorded music of today 'Canyon Eye' by Miaux youtu.be/TVT58x2eDhI?...

That UK government ever considers asserting its contractual rights against a major supplier is rare and welcome. And here, this is especially welcome. This will not be easy but it can be done, but it is good it is being seriously considered at all. www.ft.com/content/2d2b...

Record Mirror, and James Hamilton's reviews especially, were so formative for me as a teenager discovering house music, soul and disco. It's really hard to characterise his style, simultaneously utilitarian and warmly passionate in a way that doesn't really have an equivalence that I can think of

Xylitol "Blumenfantasie"｜ファラ note.com/sikeimusic/n... UKのジャングリスト・プロデューサーの新譜について書きました。暖かく、懐かしくも刺激的な傑作です。よろしくお願いします。

BACK IN STOCK: JUST IN! 'Blumenfantasie' by Xylitol Catherine Backhouse’s second Xylitol LP for @planetmurecords.bsky.social uses jungle/D&B as a jump-off point for greater experimentation, as breaks meets from footwork, ambient, UK bass, IDM, and more. www.normanrecords.com/records/2139...

Just saw British Transport Police and two CSOs appearing to harass two women of middle eastern appearance on the northbound Victoria Line platform at Victoria station, 2:30pm. Police told younger woman she was under arrest and despite her asking politely officers refused to say reason for arrest

Always a joy to bring DJ Crystl 'Mediation' to a new audience

Trump’s retribution against Albanese should concern far more than those focused on Israel’s human rights record. It should trouble anyone who believes in free speech. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just so you know, your Reasonable Concerns friend on Facebook is 'Sterilize the Troons' on Twitter

Xylitol - Blumenfantasie you guys weren't kidding - this is right up my kosmiche- and breakbeat-loving alley

I'm kind of overawed by this review, I know this is a cryptic post but this has truly been a week of strong and conflicting emotions. Also thx Joe

I'm decided to make my personal collection of 1,500+, tempo labeled, drum breaks I've been collecting over the years publicly available for anyone interested. It's got your old classic breaks, deep cuts, more modern sounding breaks, and more unconventional breaks

Just today discovered A.G. Cook's dad founded Archigram and feel there's an unwritten essay there somewhere

Catch Xylitol @bunnyhausen.bsky.social in the latest issue of @electronicsound.bsky.social

Great new interview with Xylitol @bunnyhausen.bsky.social in Zensounds www.zensounds.de/p/xylitol-bl...

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Mother's day is obviously fraught as fuck for a lot of trans people, I'm just glad some of us are lucky and will be grateful forever that I'm one of them

Optimo was great this evening, but it's so weird now to be getting a bus home for a sensible bedtime
