When the 12-string part comes in...so cool.

#BananaPastiche ‘The Great Banana Hoax’ - an Electric Prunes masterclass which parodies The Fabs ‘A Day In The Life’, 1967. youtu.be/PNjnjiwyj3A?...

Love these photos - taken by Jim Bourne - of Van Morrison, Janet Planet and Tom Kielbania, working on the songs that would eventually materialise on Astral Weeks, in a back yard on Green St, Cambridge MA. Talk about history in the making!

Really pleased that Errol’s Hot Wax are releasing National Park, outside, on ltd vinyl on 21st Aug. It comes with an 8-page 12x12 booklet with photos, flyers and lyrics. There’s a @monorailmusic.bsky.social version as part of the Glasgow School series which comes with National Park plectrums too.

6 months in: best album of 2026 to date? 🙏

Ah, 1985! Blast from the past. Found on FB, reappropriated from an Our Price FB group.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

A new Roy Montgomery album that's a full collaboration with Martha Skye Murphy, you say?

It might be concerned with weightier matters but I have always loved the sound of this song - hazy vibraphone, understated strings, swirling celeste. Perfect for peering at the sun through your eyelashes on a lazy summer day. ‘These Things Too’ - Pearls Before Swine. youtu.be/_jyIrxCPEL4?...

#NowPlaying If “Last record of the evening” was a genre this would be in the Top 5.

Interviewed John Cameron a few years back and he spoke fondly of Ken Loach and the kids who starred in Kes. His music for the film remains so evocative of time and place. Love this piece - still makes me thing of the Saturday mornings of my childhood - yay, no school! youtu.be/LFMT6QvAKs4?...

"Hüsker Dü were the band for me in the mid 80s. Their music supplied the kicking out against your surroundings energy of hardcore but also brought elements of ascension and transcendence." Simon Reynolds on #HüskerDü - Zen Arcade buff.ly/PtTIv96

In case you didn't know it, the coolest ever instalment of Amoeba Records' What's In My Bag was conducted by @theclientele.bsky.social youtu.be/5F1FBRvF1hI?...

New Yorker stuff is usually behind a subscriber paywall so it's nice that they've made this available. Lovely bit of longform. www.newyorker.com/magazine/197...

1978, London. Life with PIL was a lorra, lorra laffs...

I don't recall ever seeing this 1993 Peanuts strip before. When I searched for this I learned there's Joe Grunge merch because of course there is.

I genuinely think that I love all three AO LPs more than any solo Alasdair Roberts solo LP. Just a unique and beautiful sound.

Robert Wyatt :: BBC Peel Sessions II 1972-1974 aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/06/03/r... No one championed Robert Wyatt more fervently than John Peel. These sessions survey the singular terrain of his early work.
