Savall is an incredible interpreter and curator of “early” music. Thanks for putting him back in my head this morning.

This is phenomenal. Thank you for introducing me to this on my Monday commute to work 🖤

Thanks immensely @jenniferashby.bsky.social for sharing 🙏

I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long but weighed more than Saturn and time stood still
I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee, the record was in front of me

Simple Gifts No. 2 (feat. Steve Katona) Listen to Simple Gifts No. 2 (feat. Steve Katona) by Poser #np on #SoundCloud

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gain'd

You started it @rivaldealer26.bsky.social by summoning up Neko Case again for me, a joy untold! 💚

Serendipitously that Case/Lang/Veirs collab had been nibbling at the peripheries of my memory/cravings the last few days.

Thanks for putting me in mind of Neko again. I haven’t listened to her in years, but I think she’s the voice I need tonight 🖤

Where Flamingos Fly is one of my Desert Island Tracks. Phenomenal album.

YouTube video by punkmusiclovers Bérurier noir - Porcherie live 1989

An exuberant call to arms from these French anarchopunks in 1989, sadly just as needed now, if not more so. The incitement to solidarity against fascism and racism is truly joyous.

a small chunk of concrete with pebbles imbedded inside it.

For me it’s this small piece I ripped from the wall of The Black Ark and stuck in my back pocket in 2013. Has lived in my studio since, often travels with me to shows, I can always look at it and ask “what would Scratch do?” The energy coming off this thing is insane, my most precious possession.

Whoopsie, made a oopsie

The flow, the styling, the choreography….. just immaculate!

@bsky.app bumping up the request for you to account for why people in #Gaza are unable to shift from toxic X and create profiles on Bluesky. We’re decamping from Musk’s cesspit to in the hope of a more equitable platform here, but we need you to pull your weight now on these ethics.
