Really good album, this.

Mandy, Indiana - Urgh album cover. A human head with different layers illustrated in differing colours.

'Where Mandy, Indiana’s 2023 debut, I’ve Seen A Way, had a hazy, cinematic quality; Urgh is heavier and stranger, with Alex MacDougall’s expressive drumming bringing a Lightning Bolt-like intensity'

Mandy, Indiana - Urgh is a Quietus Album of the Month for February 2026

Yeah, I've heard it a few tomes now and don't know what to make of it. Feels like it might be a grower.

Nice one! Quite affordable, too. Will check that out.

What software are you using there, Luke?

Lots of people saying Gorton and Denton represents this and that in ideological, policy terms. But, really, I don't think I can stress enough how much of a draw "a normal person who lives round here and has a normal job" is compared to "careerist toady bussed in from the Westminster circle-jerk".

Happy new Mitski album day to all who celebrate.

Threads is the worst social media app. The most conspiracy-pilled, and home to the most performative bad takes for engagement. I have an account to keep my username, basically, which also autoposts my Instagram pics. Now getting weird men thirsting on a photo my Dad took of my mum in 1962.

When my last publisher went bust I thought this book was destined to be out of print forever, but infinite thanks to the folks at Lost in Cult for bringing it back to life.

New chapters! New insights! New full colour illustrations! Lavish production values! Beautiful typesetting!

One of the most incredible pieces of British fantasy art ever created, Les Edwards cover for the Fighting Fantasy gamebook Daggers of Darkness, featuring a muscled bald man, wearing like a leather harness and demon's head metal codpiece (basically he looks like he's late for a Judas Priest concert) riding across a lake or sea or something improbable on the back of two sabre tooth tigers. Oh yes he has a large eagle and spiked mace/flail too. Over which has been laid the text "Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks."

Not sure if this 100% fits what you're after, but Chasing the Dark by Ben Machell is terrific and perhaps up your street.

A collage of Kyle Maclachlan roles. In the first is KM wearing power armour and looking beaten up in Fallout, with the caption "Industrial". In the second KM is wearing his still suit from Dune with the caption "EBM". In the third he is in his dark suit from Twin Peaks with the caption "Post Punk". In the final it's KM on SNL in the Sprockets sketch with the caption "New Wave".

Many happy returns to the multi-talented, multi-genre actor #KyleMaclachlan born 22 February 1959

Saw the Alan shirt doing the rounds on FB again the other day. Stuck a link to Slime City in the comments.

A month since Romantic Visions Of Scotland from @thejustjoans.bsky.social arrived, and just a month until After The Rain, Strange Seeds from @theleaflibrary.bsky.social arrives.

Both available to buy from fikarecordings.bandcamp.com along with plenty more!

Banging piece, Luke! My own defining memory of that album is doing a 30 mile walk with friends (and an ex) a couple of days before I moved down South. Finally made it home exhausted, a bit sad, blasted that album 3 times in a row and burst into tears.

More importantly: what a band.

One of my favourite records of all time, and I agree with Luke's accolade here.

Oh exciting! Will try and get to that. On the King's Birthday, too!

Great band (also pals). Recommend you give 'em a shot!

I am frantically trying to finish a short story for a zine submission, so of course I'm also doing the dishes, watching a pathe news reel about pillboxes, listening to a bunch of Chromatics records, watching a painting tutorial, making a note to get Mitski tickets tomorrow.
