That is sad news, it's a great book. Really enjoyed his Thank You and OK! too.

It's good, but it isn't a dying boiler playing Brötzmann

Whenever I see this I wonder whether I've remembered to recommend Vince Clarke's Lamentations of Jeremiah to Kirkdale, but then have concerns that the timbre may disturb the pamphlets & periodicals.

So good. I bought the CNT They Shall Not Pass compilation to get both tracks on vinyl. The peak of their peak years.

Lovely. One of my best sounding LPs is a blue note tenor sax comp.

What did you select to test it?

I have always had a soft spot for

I wrote a poem on a dog biscuit
And your dog refused to look at it

I think we're the same age.. and the actual album I should have nominated was The Shamen's Drop, loved their garage psych era. Fond memories of GBOA too.

I was struggling to find a contemporary album, would have been Perfect Prescription but that was sold out everywhere.

White Light White Heat by the Velvet Underground. Loved it - bought the VU kinky boot book cover T Shirt & wore it to death.

Share an album that was important to you when you were nineteen.

Great shout, as that's taken mine would be Resurrection Joe 🖤

RIP Ralph. Time to give this a listen.

Continuing to channel the calm there Nicklas 👍

Happy birthday Nic - definitely hit the club! 🦇

Lovely stuff, and to nick a phrase from the vintners, that sentence has fabulous mouthfeel.

An old one in the New Forest

In the New Forest -

The last track, Blues For The Great Refreshing Earth Bodhisattva, is particularly stunning. Fans of France will enjoy.

“Rising, streetcar, four hours in the office or the factory, meal, streetcar, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday according to the same rhythm..."
Camus - The Myth of Sisyphus

Few other works have so readily captured its quotidian wonder.

That's just what I wanted to listen to right now 👍

Dylan Moran said "Running a second-hand bookshop is a guaranteed commercial failure", and as a teenager I spent most Saturdays in Old Milton's version, the tall grey haired proprietor had the air of Christopher Lee as good Saruman, they were salad days.

My wife has filed her tax return, which we will celebrate in the traditional manner by watching the first episode of Black Books.

Great interview Jon, thank you. First time I saw Rachael with them was on the Watusi tour in 2024, and I particularly remember the treatment she gave Click Click & Catwoman - a coruscating psychedelic experience, it was fantastic.

Joanna Brouk — In Her Own Words Our beloved friend Joanna Brouk passed away April 28, 2017 after a brief battle with cancer, just as the world was finally starting to catch up with her incomparable, pioneering new age and experiment...

Re-reading the original liner notes to Joanna Brouke's Hearing Music. Mood enhancing.

I had to take out the first three minutes of Healing Music
because all I did was touch F# major (two below C) on the piano
and I would just listen
and I’d listen
and I’d listen...

Really like the look of that, looking forward to a listen. Love rocket, they released Marlene Ribeiro's stunning solo album. I find chatting about music does wonders to balance my mental health so I'm already more buoyant than before, cheers DS 👍

Time Stands Still / Le temps s'arrête, by Project Gemini & Wendy Martinez 6 track album

Enjoyed that, very charming, very baroque, thank you. Unable to prevent myself from suggesting another not dissimilar French psych record from last year, if you haven't heard it. I love the 60s p bass tone. And I hope you're feeling better this week.
