We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

February’s gonna be another set of fascinating conversations with fantastic guests.

** Trash Panda Go Kart is an animist witch band in the ancient rock&roll tradition—our songs are spells in favor of tearing the fascists down & bodily autonomy for all. Sure we sing about critters & bugs & flowers but what's more anti-fascist than tree-huggin? We're also big on joy, hope & love. 🤘🥰🌈

Just finished Airside, the last book published by Christopher Priest in his lifetime. Like all his work, painterly, oblique, and devoid of easy answers. There isn’t another author of speculative fiction whose work moves me as much as his does. A fitting epitaph for a giant of literature

Your very first clues. The Ascent Of Lies, coming early next year. It's 1862, and the Confederates are in Yorkshire...

@discellany.bsky.social Hey Man, I just wanted to say thank you for the excellent ‘90s Overlooked Underheard playlist. I was au fait with a few of them (Fugazi, Shudder To Think, Swell), but most were new to me. Really enjoying Animals That Swim, Tar, and Versus. Cheers!

The Winwaed, AKA the Bloody Beck

🎼 When I’m feeling blue, all I gotta do is take a look at you 🎼 Tad - Dementia Melvins - Zodiac L7 - Fast and Frightening Soundgarden - Flower #TenRandomListens

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

Don’t buy rabbits as Christmas presents for children

Me, every day

Still art, and still something to say, 40+ years down the line. I worship this band

Bolstering my @throwingmuses.bsky.social collection with these two beauties, The Real Ramona and Red Heaven

If you, or someone in your life, are a rabbit owner, please take a minute to read and share. Thank you

Happy 30th birthday to Alice In Chains’ sludgy masterpiece, ‘Alice In Chains’. Their heaviest work, but also some sweet acoustic flourishes and great vocal interplay between Jerry and Layne

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year

Devoured in one sitting. So much to commend. The righteous feminist fury, the deft flitting from past to present, the descriptions of straightened childhoods, the sprinkling of magic. Came for the grunge; stayed for the plot. Bravo, @lucynichol.bsky.social

Beside myself with excitement for the new book by @lucynichol.bsky.social , ‘Girls To The Front’, a found footage feminist revenge thriller soundtracked by Riot Grrrl bands. Loving the cover - designed by Chris Bigg of 4AD fame. Book sourced by Yorkshire’s finest bookshop, @jebookshull.bsky.social

Happy Birthday @taddoyle.bsky.social! Hope you’re having a great day

And some more, @tnmnttiles.bsky.social

Saw this beauty in Cádiz and was reminded of @tnmnttiles.bsky.social

5 years gone. Peter’s music saved my life. I’m forever in his debt Listen to this live performance and see why BB King once said, ‘He’s the only one that gave me the shivers’ Peter Green, Fleetwood Mac Founder, 29th Oct 1946 - 25th July 2020 youtu.be/FxoaEbbk92Q?... #FleetwoodMac

I know it’s pie in the sky bullshit, but we could have had the best grunge mini-festival in 1991 with bands releasing records that year: Tad - 8 Way Santa Nirvana - Nevermind Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger Screaming Trees - Uncle Anesthesia Mudhoney - EGBDF Melvins - Bullhead

30 years of this blistering set of fuzzed up pop gems #FF30 #FooFighters

Happy Birthday, George Orwell. I do wish you’d been wrong

My latest sonic adventure, DystOpium, is going to be released on Friday June 20, 2025. This will be digital download only for now. thomasandrewdoyle.bandcamp.com/album/dystop...

#OTD in 1995, Seattle grunge supergroup Truly releases their opus, ‘Fast Stories…From Kid Coma’ trulytheband.bandcamp.com/album/fast-sto…

30 years of Fugazi’s ‘Red Medicine’ One of many leaps forward for the band, RM saw Fugazi turn down the volume and dial up the experimentation. Despite its challenging nature, it remains their most commercially successful release. A testament to the perfect execution of their vision.

Post a robot that’s not from Star Wars or Transformers

New EP of unreleased material from Seattle band Capping Day, ‘Who Does Anyway’ Harmonising vocals, askew sense of melody, dark & literary lyrics It’s glorious

OTD 30 years ago, Tad released their final, full studio album, ‘Infrared Riding Hood’. It manages to be both their most brutal work, and, in places, their most melodic. It’s a stark document of a band at the peak of its powers.

5th April is a shitty day for fans of grunge music, losing Kurt in 94 and Layne in 2002, but just remembered we also lost Shawn Smith on 3rd April 2019. Fuck this month

Beacon Alert: Missing Veteran

Celebrating the lives of Kurt Cobain of Nirvana and Layne Staley of Alice In Chains today by playing their music loud (Kurt 📸 Charles Peterson, Layne 📸 Darrell Westmoreland)

Amazing to think that all of these incredible albums were released within 42 days of each other in 1991

Finally got my hands on a copy of the new rereleased ‘Feeling You Up’ (1997) by grunge originators, Truly. Featuring former members of Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, and Nirvana. ‘Feeling You Up’ sees the band lean into the 60s psych-pop vibe whilst retaining their full throated grunginess. 10/10

An excellent evening aboard Leeds’ Hold Fast Books for the {ahem} launch of @adamjfarrer.bsky.social’s ‘Broken Biscuits’ with insightful questions from @bradleybooks.bsky.social Adam’s excerpts were hilarious and i can’t wait to start the book

What perfect albums came out when you were 16? Soundgarden - Down On The Upside Pearl Jam - No Code Screaming Trees - Dust Love Battery - Confusion Au Go Go

New @throwingmuses.bsky.social album ‘Moonlight Concessions’, courtesy of Leeds’ premier record shop, Jumbo Gutted I can’t make the show in May 😭

@adamjfarrer.bsky.social Looking forward to seeing you at Hold Fast on Wed and sitting on the front row so no normal-sized people can’t see 😊

Occasionally I’m reminded that Tanya Donelly founded Throwing Muses, The Breeders, and Belly and my jaw just drops right to the floor

Everyone has their breaking point
