After seeing this blue plaque (well, a photo of it) at Kidderminster station, I googled it. What an incredible story featuring Captain Beefheart, T Rex and a bunch of mods having a right old time!

Reminiscent of the amazing current venues of Golden Lion in Tod and Hebden Bridge Trades Club…

Brutalist Riffs: A Guide to Math Rock This is what happened when the energy of hardcore punk met the technical skill of heavy metal.

A quality look at American math rock through the decades. Classic gems from A Minor Forest, Hella, Don Caballero and June of 44, nestled alongside current pioneers drose and Imelda Marcos.

And how did I manage to miss Breadwinner?

Ah no sorry, we're off to New Century to see The Dare tonight

I think I'm away for that unfortunately. Were you there for their epic Soup Kitchen gig? It was incredible!

Loving this band at the moment

Hiya Bluesky, has anyone got a cowbell they could lend me? I'm in Manchester.

What a brilliant resource for people like me who love to scour Bandcamp for musical jewels!

Wow Autechre there! Bet that was excellent! They were great last night too, tho a few tech difficulties early on, then they just battered the audience with beats.

Aja Ireland: Cryptid - Album Review | Louder Than War Electronic innovation and vulnerability collide on the new album from Aja Ireland. Andy Brown reviews Cryptid for Louder Than War.

Here's my @louderthanwar.bsky.social review for Cryptid, the new album by experimental Nottingham-based electronic artist, Aja Ireland ❤️

Yes! Doing Shovel Dance and Able Noise this weekend, not got tix to Autechre unfortunately, but I have seen them a load thankfully!

@alangoodld.mcrlibdems.uk Hiya Alan hope you're good. We have a unique problem in the wind at New Islington tram stop. The wind keeps throwing out the dog poo bags from the flimsy bin. It's amusing and disgusting at the same time. Is this a Metrolink issue? Or can you help?

Hello Pat! Great to see you here on the other, nicer side!

Saw the pummelling, dancey MAQUINA. last night. A three-piece from Lisbon with gnarly basslines, distorted & mangled vocals, and guitars that skittered like Thurston Moore trapped in a dream.

FFO: Föllakzoid, Holy F

3 more UK dates: Brsl, Brighton + LDN

Silent, by Kevin Richard Martin / Dis Fig track by Kevin Richard Martin / Dis Fig

"A beautifully desolate, doomed jazz ballad in blue," 'Silent' by myself as Kevin Richard Martin, in collaboration with
Dis Fig, dropped heavily yesterday for Valentine's Day.
"An immersive 11 minute deep freeze."

New Girl Talk and you’re on the remix? Yes!!!

This is incredible, so many amazing records including some by Hailu Mergia all for under a quid!

Perhaps positivity is the wrong word, maybe brightness and lightness of touch. Whatever the correct word is, it’s a top album.

Mapambazuko, by Ale Hop & Titi Bakorta 9 track album

Wonderful new album on Nyege Nyege from Ale Hop @alejandracardenas.bsky.social and Titi Bakorta. With some gorgeously nimble guitar work from Bakorta.

Also loving the cover too, a futuristic neon tile… reflects the positivity and complexity of the music.

SINGLES €5 each: 'WE DREAM ALL THE DARK AWAY', Abul Mogard's stunning remix of 'All Those Signs', our hymn to the hubris of climate denial; 'THE GLACIAL LAKE' (2 tracks): Peter Chilvers' delicate and beautiful remix of this song, as well as the original track; THE SLOW SLOW AIR, a fugue-like homage to the Irish slow air; HAIL HOPE(2 tracks): Hail Hope is a rousing anthem for anyone whose heart is sinking in darkening times, and Carol reframes darkness as "Mother of Light"; COCKLES AND MUSSELS is a beautiful deconstruction/reconstruction by Matmos, in tribute to Alan Turing, of the famous Irish song, sung by Clodagh. (Faced with imminent trial on charges of gross indecency, he insisted upon playing it on the violin for the police officers who came to his home to take his statement). EPs/ALBUMS €7-€10 each: SALT GARDEN 1, 2, and 3 (4 tracks on each); HERE IS WHERE WE USED TO SING (11 tracks); SALT GARDEN LANDSCAPED (2 x 20 min remixes by Steven Wilson of 2 tracksfrom the Salt Garden eps); NEITHER SPEAK NOR REMAIN SILENT (9 tracks); for track listings, guest artists, lyrics, etc. see https://foveahex.bandcamp.com and for reviews, see http://www.janetrecords.com/2019/reviews.html

Instead of Bandcamp Friday today, BC's% is going to WILDFIRE RELIEF, 👏. Meanwhile, our own % of Fovea Hex sales today will be going to GAZA via @unicefireland.bsky.social. From €5, collaborators/guests include Eno, Matmos, Abul Mogard, Peter Chilvers & more...

Flora, by Hiroshi Yoshimura 11 track album

I'm such a big fan of Hiroshi Yoshimura, very glad this is getting a reissue. Would have loved it on pink vinyl tho, but it's sold out.

A City Drowned in God's Black Tears, by Infinity Knives & Brian Ennals 11 track album

Infinity Knives and Brian Ennals are back with a third collab album out in April.

Very much enjoyed their last album King Cobra - kinda lo-fi, funky and experimental - all at the same time.

And I'm enjoying the photo of the llama on the cover of this new album...🦙

Yesssss! New Backxwash on the way! Cannot wait to hear it.
