If the title of this new single sounds a bit St. Christopher-y, it's not an accident. This Indonesian musician is obviously a huge fan of Sarah records! (Just check out the tracks on his 2020 album 'Decades'). open.spotify.com/album/0IVqQ4...

Happy birthday to Elizabeth Fraser. Here's a thread of Cocteau Twins live performances, starting with From The Flagstones and Musette And Drums filmed for The Tube in 1984 youtu.be/7x0FbC5njbY

I realise i have been very quiet on here in recent months. I have been writing and tinkering but, in the meantime, I thought it might be nice to post some old photos. Here is one taken at Maxwells, Hoboken, NJ (I think) in Nov 1990 on Lush's first tour of the US. Interesting setlist on the wall.

A song for our times 🙏 youtu.be/N2lp0dOf5OY

So, here's the new book of the week. Any work which features the genius of Jesse Garon & The Desperadoes AND Shop Assistants needs to be bought and read and raved about. In the meantime, let's hear All That Ever Mattered, with the voice of the late Alex Taylor buff.ly/Gz7sEmP

Here are some pics of Mighty Mighty at the Bull & Gate. I think it’s from a different show as I don’t recall seeing the Wedding Present there, but I may be wrong @mightymighty86.bsky.social

I'm not a horror guy at all but it is a Very Cool Feeling to hear a song you wrote in a feature film. Finally got around to watching The Young Cannibals last night and was delighted by this, and I love how's it on a cd too

AUTOCAMPER “What Do You Do All Day?” (@slumberlandrecords.com) www.autocamper.bandcamp.com Cheeky lo-fi twee teasing bleak sour-grapes pop escapes, the scampish Autocamper’s copacetic rhetoric gathers casual allies in rainy-day getaways swerving over brittle riffs and organ flourishes
