oops - Rëlisp, not Rëslip

Warthåk, by Rëlisp 4 track album

There's a band in Mexico called Rëslip making heavy Zeuhl with the intensity, but not the virtuosity, of Koenjihyakkei. Thrilling stuff noizumx.bandcamp.com/album/warth-k

Let’s do this. (I have - to Tidal a while ago)

Alt text should be: “cover of Elizabeth Alker book ‘Everything We Do is Music: How 20th-Century Classical Music Shaped Pop’”

Well this looks fascinating www.faber.co.uk/product/9780...

I know a lot of us have feelings about Bandcamp’s changes in ownership over the last few years. But it’s still true that buying music directly from independent labels and artists on Bandcamp remains one of the best ways to support the musicians you listen to.

French is Earth Ghor!

This reads like WeTransfer will train LLMs on all the stuff we transfer, royalty-free forever. You know, the stuff you’ve slaved over that has some value.

Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra - Places We Have Never Been album cover. Seven hands sitting on top of a large drum skin that looks a little like the moon.

An album of experimental music made by Todmorden school children evokes The Necks, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and a series of exotic locale. The kids are all right, says @spinal-bap.bsky.social

Screenshot of form on the UK Met Office website. Text reads: "You can provide up to 5 storm names in the boxes below. Storm Name: [a user has filled this in with "BigOil"] Storm Name (optional): [filled in with BP] Storm Name (optional): [filled in with Equinor] Storm Name (optional): [filled in with Exxon] Storm Name (optional): [filled in with Shell]

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms.

And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell...

This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

A Wikipedia paragraph which reads: "According to the painter Gabriel Fournier, one of the most memorable scandals was an altercation between Cocteau, Satie, and music critic Jean Poueigh, who gave Parade an unfavorable review. [citation needed] Satie had written a postcard to the critic which read, "Monsieur et cher ami - vous êtes un cul, un cul sans musique! Signé Erik Satie" ("Sir and dear friend - you are an arse, an arse without music! Signed, Erik Satie."). The critic sued Satie, and at the trial, Cocteau was arrested and beaten by police for repeatedly yelling "arse" in the courtroom. Satie was given a sentence of eight days in jail.[17][18]"

Wikipedia nugget du jour.

No one seems to remember when the internet - and Twitter - wasn’t about ‘engagement’ but just… having fun. How we’ve internalised the Growth Delusion as individuals, treating ourselves as brands requiring outreach, is beyond me, and deeply cringe.

... but harmonic music and ragas were his main love, I understand. This was from his first solo album, made on return from his first trip to India youtu.be/qz8U-EjGlME #ArielKalmaRIP

He was responsible for the harmonium on this classic trip by Heldon, with Richard Pinhas on synth youtu.be/D7w1hmEIT4M

RIP Ariel Kalma, citizen of the world who was part of so many great French things, not least tenor sax in the gang Cyrille Verdaux got together to record this soundtrack youtu.be/Be_OKxwqh-g

There's me asking a nerdy question and now I see he has left us. What a life

It's such a lovely record. Have you heard the Richard Tinti record it was originally released with? I've not. I think it's the original field recordings, well over 30 minutes each side so the grooves must be shallow. #ArielKalma

YouTube video by Jaime Garza Wapassou - Rien

I've been loving the new Caroline album and just realised that there's a touch of them in Wapassou's track Rien from 1973 youtu.be/ne6Z_33k5RM

AI advocate: “AI is a crime scene”

WE WON!

The Supreme Court has upheld the right to wild camp on Dartmoor. This is a huge win for access to nature.

But we're just getting started.

It was never just about Dartmoor.

We’re fighting to extend the right to roam, swim, and sleep under the stars - across all of England.

colour-drenched comic-style drawing of Laser Graphics operatives dressed as space travellers at a console desk. They are in a planetarium, with laser beams in the background.

I've been in touch with Bernard Szajner (Zed), who has confirmed that this beautiful poster was designed by Moebius (yes, THE Moebius) for Bernard's company Laser Graphics in 1977, around the time they were doing light shows at the Planetarium at the Palais De La Découverte in Paris.
