@andysmith79.bsky.social Weekend sorted bro

New track and video are sensational!! Glad that my payday is the week before Dec 5th. Pre-order incoming soon! 👍

Beeeeeeautiful!

I tried all month to listen to albums other than LSD and Doperider but found I was physically unable to. Literally everytime I wanted to hear music, it was one of those two records. Sensational stuff.

Haha! Those were the days... I almost put Bodies on Kilamanjaro but then realised it wasn't the second highest mountain!

Bodies on K2

Thanks for the tip-off! That was a phenomenal listen 😁

I had a friend who referred to him as "Hugh Firmly Kissesballs".

Much Wenlock

Market Rasen

Macclesfield

Yes

Over the moon when a new Tice and Lowe scene pops up on the feed. This is a sensational little run. Desperately needs a screen adaptation.

No idea how I did not notice that! Lovely stuff.

Did I not notice that your profile pic was Cardiacs flower, or have you just changed it? Either way, big fan of that 😎

He certainly is! Say hi!

A pal who owns/runs a second hand record shop near me stumbled across a copy of Is This The Life 12" single and put it to one side for me without even asking, knowing full well it would be leaving in my hands the next time I went in to the shop. He was not wrong. Pride of place in my collection 💙

I thought they were absolutely unstoppable before I'd even got to Sing to God double LP. That was the album which cemented them as an all time favourite. Could not fathom how a band which was already so exciting and experimental and innovative still had a flawless double LP up their sleeves 🤣

Weirdly, my inroad was the one place where many seasoned veterans of the band tell first timers to avoid, that version of Tarred and Feathered on YouTube. Puts many off for being too wacky, but I was absolutely enraptured by it. Immediately went through that and all the early albums.

I was a relative latecomer to Cardiacs. Discovered them around 2008 I think, and they were exactly the band I had always wished had existed. My favourite song changes each time I listen to any record of theirs. Was gutted to have missed them when they were around.

Very nice this!! I'm still trying to get my head around the Lyra-8, or maybe I need to let the Lyra-8 get it's head around me. Seems to work better that way 🤣

Thought it was a Conlon Nancarrow piece at first

Chaos Blooms was the first Polypores album I picked up! Vinyl Tap in Huddersfield I think. Took a punt because I'd heard the name and good things. Never looked back, and bought everything I could get my hands on since 😁

Sweet! An interesting branch from some of your other stuff. Was worth a deep listen 👍

It is good! Almost *almost* melodic compared to the other Hell on Hearth stuff I've dug into. Love how much the bells clash when the notes hang together as they decay. Satisfying dissonance.

Tonight's listening sorted then. Lovely stuff

Oooh... Similar colour to the Viewers box set! Something along those lines?

Hahahaha. Blame it on one of the other band members sneaking .flac into the track title and not telling you. Strengthens the conspiracy argument too.

I still don't know what the fuck they are or how to use them tho. Time to figure it out.
