Father John Misty – β€˜Mahashmashana’ review: perhaps his most sincere album yet After β€œa few non-elective ego deaths”, Father John Misty looks inward for new record β€˜Mahashmashana’, on which sarcasm is in short supply

Great review from Jordan Bassett incidentally on @nmemagazine.bsky.social here: www.nme.com/reviews/albu...

Absolutely loving the way the shaggy, loose-brained Lou Reedism clashes with the delicate, ornate orchestration on @fatherjmisty.bsky.social’s β€˜Mahashmashana’

In 1970 the richest 1% had about 4x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% had about 30x.

Now the richest 1% have 12x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% have 1000x.

This is the problem.

I might be taking on water after failing to get Glastonbury tickets but I also found a bucket called watching Hot Frosty on Netflix

Essential, well researched reading on the great independent platform @godisinthetvzine.bsky.social here on the state of the music industry in this *political climate*

Hi Bluesky! There is not enough chat about the drop dead stunning versions of classic Radiohead tracks that Thom Yorke is tampering around with on his current tour down under. This version of 'Let Down' with VERY loud sobs from the audience, for example
