Cancelled

Pre Morrissey cup of tea.

Happy birthday to my internet pal and fellow 1973 baby @blueharv.bsky.social

I forgot how much I loved them in the 90s. Not enough people knew about them…

Share your next four gigs

Finally watched the latest Blur doc and it was great: funny, vulnerable, reflective, nostalgic. I hope I get to see them live again one day.

Whatever you call it, it still rips

Out now! It’s a beauty

Catching up on vinyl purchases…

It’s on

Tonight Oasis is playing their second night in Toronto. Here’s my 1994 ticket stub when it only cost $11.50 to see them

Some more shots and words including a short chat with @everythingelseband.bsky.social now up at @resoundonline.bsky.social 😊 re-sound.co.uk/everything-e...

If you're an #Oasis super-fan with tickets to the show at Rogers Stadium in Toronto, please shoot me a DM #OasisReunion #OasisTour

Happy new Blankenberge to those who celebrate 🎉

New @blankenberge.bsky.social is already out on @bandcamp.com and the first song oh my god 😭

She’s coming to my city!!

It’s insane and I am hiding inside

Nothing beats print! My Gillian Anderson story made it in today’s edition of @thestar.com

For First Revival this week, I spoke to @stevequeralt.bsky.social from @rideox4official.bsky.social about his excellent new solo album, ‘Swallow’.

Once again a baby (Gen Z) Slowdive fan wants to know if I’ll sell him my 1993 T-shirt. Sorry baby gazers…

"How's the marketing for the Tron sequel? Great if there was any chatter beforehand!" "Uh, well..."

Lately I am obsessed with talking to other women about life in middle age. To get to do so with Gillian Anderson was epic. thekit.ca/beauty/celeb...

New work In Toronto Star on Amy Millan’s third solo record.

My Lambrini Girls hat is here so I guess this kicks off “Cunty Girl Summer”? @galunacy.bsky.social

Alt-weeklies were a crucial pathway for bands to get regional exposure beyond their immediate scene. Now, it feels like the only way forward for young artists is to win the algorithmic lottery and/or throw a Hail Mary into the overflowing inboxes of whatever national music sites are left.

Two days late for #worldgothday but here’s proof I dabbled in goth as a teen: my ticket stub for the Toronto stop on The Cure’s Disintegration tour and a photo of us pre-concert. I was about to turn 16.

#1C000LEST 11 | Connection - Elastica Consummate purveyors of arch, angular, wiry indie-pop. Drums click, guitars grind, BOOM goes the bass and the band is basically winking at you. Justine’s gloriously snotty vocal is the cherry on top. youtu.be/ilKcXIFi-Rc?...

MISS YOU LOVE YOU WISH YOU WERE HERE UP YER BUM!

LFG! I’ve got my cunty socks ready for Lambrini Girls tonight but no @galunacy.bsky.social who I should be seeing them with. 😭

Finally getting to see Nothing this summer 😭

Today’s music discovery courtesy of @modottiband.bsky.social Pretty jangly tune from Le Pain: open.spotify.com/track/14KkoQ...

Canada is especially good fun right now

MOGWAI!! Scotland’s national treasure blew Toronto ear drums last night. Beast of a band. And my friend Julie had an extra pass for after 😱

New tracks available to listen to on our Bandcamp. The 7" is getting low. highspire.bandcamp.com/album/gloria #highspire #shoegaze #shoegazer #dreampop #shelflife #limitedvinyl #vinylsky

It’s on!

Watching Todd Haynes 2021 doc on The Velvet Underground and noticed something…

“The particular plight of Gen X is to have grown up in one world only to hit middle age in a strange new land. It’s as if they were making candlesticks when electricity came in. The market value of their skills plummeted.” I have never felt more seen in my life. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Canadian travel to the US is absolutely cratering.

It's release day!!! Our new album "Bowerbirds and Blue Things" is now out in the wild, with current orders in the post! Let us know your favourite tracks, hope you like it! jetstreampony.bandcamp.com/album/bowerb...

The first single from the forthcoming @stevequeralt.bsky.social solo album ‘Swallow’ is ‘Lonely Town’, a stunning collaboration with @emmaandersonmusic.bsky.social. It’s out now on all digital platforms, and here’s a clip from the atmospheric video by Australian artist Sara Nash...

Very excited to announce a new single featuring me today. 'Lonely Town' is a collaboration between myself and @stevequeralt.bsky.social from @rideox4official.bsky.social. Available on all streaming platforms right now...and there might be a video too......😉 x

Love!

Did tonight.

Life changing album by @blankenberge.bsky.social

She’s Green Toronto debut last night: beautiful noise was made, kind words exchanged (they’re so nice and grateful) and merch was acquired despite the hefty prices due to currency conversion (the EP was $50 but small bands need to eat!)

Sinéad O’Connor's I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got turns 35 today. The record begins with a recitation of the Serenity Prayer and ends with the title track, an a cappella hymn of self-acceptance. Read more on why we named it one of the best albums of the '90s here: pitchfork.com/features/lis...

The listeners voted. These are their favorite shoegaze and dream pop songs from the past month on our airwaves, celebrating Glazyhaze, she's green, Pia Fraus, Glyss, Cigarettes for Breakfast, Scoreboard, Drop Nineteens, Arc Tracer, SPRING WINDS, and Chlorine. 💖

#OTD #TheJesusAndMaryChain - Toronto, The Concert Hall, March 13, 1990.

With Lambrini Girls!
