Thanks for the recommendation, which, coming from you, carries some weight! I find those kind of books hard work normally but maybe will make an exception

Agree- there’s a ton of detail but at the same time a ton of space, which should not be possible!! You remember it as bare-bones but actually the production is extremely sophisticated

Wow, I worked on Tom Verlaine's Jazzmaster (feat. Jimmy Rip)
YouTube video by Totally Wired Guitars Wow, I worked on Tom Verlaine's Jazzmaster (feat. Jimmy Rip)

Inspired by watching this very heart-warming video (jimmy rip reminiscing about his friendship with Tom Verlaine, centred around his guitar and expanding to his eccentricities) youtu.be/XZwbyH9A5cU

Listening to this for the millionth time and still hearing new things - murky piano chords mixed low, vocals double tracked (or ADT?) the double tracked leads by Richard Lloyd, how much Verlaine is singing from the stomach, the beautiful EQ job. Like all truly great music it is, at times, baffling

An expansive 2xLP set, from the opener Fables of the Silverlink it's a gorgeous mix of chamber pop, field recordings, spoken word, piano instrumentals, strings & dreamy lyrics & vocals

Phrases & names return across songs binding this sumptuous album together

Saturday, by The Clientele from the album Suburban Light (Remastered)

Until last night Optimum Reverb for The Violet Hour was my deserted communal shower room at my old university . St Mathias now takes the prize.

…and once more to worship the spectral, altar-ed states of @theclientele.bsky.social This time illuminating St. Matthias Church from within.

Lots of fun last night; disconcerted to be playing on top of Richard Nichols grave; walk on music by the great Eberhard Weber; there actually was a St Pancras; ah the French champagnes…. Thank you all and see you tonight

The stained-glass sounds of @theclientele.bsky.social at St. Pancras Old Church. @jameshornsey.bsky.social

A magical evening at Old St Pancras Church with beat nature poets @theclientele.bsky.social. I never clicked before how much Television there is in them.

A very moving and generous account of interactions with our music. And from a fellow suburban contrarian too, which makes it all the better.
