Now: it's time to arise, shine, for thy light is come [patoodle-doodledee, patoodle-doodledee, patoodle-doodledee, patoodle-doo]

Flute, canyon, crickets time, hasn't been played in a wee while

just had a massive unexpected car related bill so if 100 people would like to buy a book that would be great 😅 www.stefmo.co.uk/product-page...

This is incredible, especially when the longer sections crank the volume. Really mustn't have been in the mood for it first time around, definite punches above my usual play once & file standard

Time for this now, dug out whilst hunting for something else. Purchased primarily because Hildegard with a decidedly black metal album cover amused me, to be perfectly honest. Solo voice and organ drone, both extremely quiet most of the time, it's quite a vibe

Now playing

Briefly thinks: I could do with music that has a bit more pep to it, get my energy up Ultimately decides: nope, this sort of thing is all I'm in the mood for at the moment

A second hungry carpet is lying in wait for you on the ocean floor

Feels like a lute morning

You're a Gay Man, Charlie Brown.

Now lying in the dark with bedtime listening taking a nice dark turn: hankering for this earlier. Ngl I often love DLS as a proto-Coil album, but it is arguably the best and most satisfying PTV one. Everyone's at their best, one of those lineups that looks like a jawdropping supergroup in hindsight

(the composition of the piece, not this specific recording which was slightly later.) What a glorious racket

I just use this one simple memory aid, I ask myself: did George Benson release Dukey Treats? Oh, no, that’s right, it was George Duke.

once again blown away by the roster of guest artists on William Shatner’s 2013 album “Pondering the Mystery”

(So I've been told) I could wire a plug properly, neutral-earth-live in modern colours or the old ones our first record player had, by the age of four. Sometimes wish everything wasn't pre-moulded these days, I had wire-stripping and neat twisting of the ends down pat and everything

Yesss a list where I actually have three of them, rather than one or zero. Had just about forgotten I had that Yazz Ahmed album, no word of a lie - and it's incredible! That's what happens when I go off on some other obsession and it just keeps spiralling, must revisit

tired: GG Allin wired:

Glad I saved this by @longwall26.bsky.social

On to this perennial favourite now: can never get enough of that incredible soundtrack that sounds part Dijvan Gasparyan record and part Reichian gamelan

Stop The The Cavalry #xmasbands

This afternoon's viewing, which has got us constantly googling IRL ages for the ensemble cast, as so many of them didn't feel plausible as characters who went to school together. TIL that Oscar Isaac, Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum were in fact all born within a 13-mth run, which has broken my brain

Online ads update: have finally encountered one of Etsy's 'Rees Mogg watching from the cuck chair' assemblages that you're all getting. Anthea is still his favourite; the blonde ladies in nightwear seem to be new. They're laughing at him. He asked for it; it's his favourite humiliation kink.

Bit of Tombeau de Couperin now to go into the weekend

I’m ecstatic to announce my new double LP, Autechre Guitar, is now available for preorder from Bill Orcutt’s Palilalia Records. Ten songs by the English electronic music duo, Autechre, transcribed and arranged for solo acoustic guitar. 🙏 🟩 shaneparish.bandcamp.com/album/autech...

Something that's been going round my head: what's the more proper pronunciation of Chopin? 1) show-pan 2) shaw-pan Or is it just that one's more Polish and one's more French or something?

Now this, still haven't properly listened to it yet but do like Biret's Chopin

Some of this now

Now playing

This is exactly why it’s great. It sounds like Paul wrote it while drunk. More Christmas songs should do that.

'Tis the first #CDFriday of advent, time to get this magnificent beast into rotation

Now playing, 'night all

BUY THIS BOOK!

I'm glad the German car-sharing company MILES gets a shout out in this. I hope they try to crack the UK market, mainly because I want to see how long it takes British vandals to notice that you can easily pick the bottom line off the E to spell MILFS

One more of these now, going all the way back to one of the most wtf/double-take lineups in krautrock/adjacent stuff like this. You were a long way from Annie's Song with this, "Jimmy" (well, eight years)

@robpalk.bsky.social @florencehrscott.bsky.social Please enjoy the grandpa charisma of a certain 90s PM receiving the attention it deserves

Now playing: the new Between addition has brought back an earworm of "Satchitananda, Om, Om" from this one, so on it goes

More of this now. The first Between album I managed to get hold of was the final one after this, Stille Uber Zeit, and this is very much in the same vein: nothing you could lump in with krautrock (if they ever really were, a tiny bit early on perhaps) but very lovely ECM/JAPO-adjacent chambery stuff

Speaking of the Windham Hill Winter's Solstice series, let's get this on the go. Only got this first one so far: Aaberg, Shadowfax and Story (Liz) all here from artists I know plus several others still to investigate

Tonight's viewing, which I have somehow managed to never see before

This is of value.

No. 1 here is the correct choice, of course

ooh have that one! found quite some narada / sona gaia cds during late eighties in a used shop close to a U.S. military base. don't remember them all but iirc Michel Genest Ascension was liked much by young me. super soft yet not quite cheese imho 😎 ah the days before techno took over. 🐺 #ambient 💿
