Stellar, and such an important album in the UK scene too.

I've seen the slew of indie bands and Madchestery stuff ppl have been posting and pretty sure all of my 5 will be hip hop and house at this stage! Oh maybe Pixies.

Never heard of them, any good?

Ooops! Completely missed it this weekend. Burial the only one that would have been in my 5 but Laura Marling would have been close! Nice, thanks @richards7370.bsky.social

Masterpiece, this album.

Didn't like everything this week. The Indira Paganotto LP just reminded me how much I like proper techno, and not so much anything goa/psy-trance or EDM-leaning.

Yes, that was my point. Plenty of music by Jaëll, Bonis, Farenc, Chaminade, etc. that is excellent but I haven't been exposed to it for decades like all the canonical men.

From the late 20th century onwards there's definitely more parity in exposure.

I'm planning to watch it again soon. But it broke me at the time.

Willie Colón, a Luminary of Salsa Music, Dies at 75

“It was rebellious music. We were watching Martin Luther King walking into Selma and the dogs and water cannons. The music wasn’t explicitly political yet, but the music was a magnet that would bring people together.”

Nice to see Arsenal totally bottling it against Tottenham today.

Written English has barely changed in 300 years. If you can read Harry Potter, you can read Robinson Crusoe (1719).

Can't say I'm an expert on either, but it does seem like an accomplished account.

Oh wow what an experience to treasure 😍
