Shit, forgot about No Roses. Sorry Shirl.

My copy defaced by Maddy Prior, of all people.

Hark! The Village Wait, thanks Andy. Followed closely by Anne Briggs.

Nice little Life Without Buildings thread here with some good background and footage...

Thank you! Too kind, hope you enjoy them all twice as much.

(I like how both meanings of gaff work in this instance)

Cheers! New album will be equally bright, inside and out.

Library Music: Volume One, by The Leaf Library 16 track album

Really enjoying this @theleaflibrary.bsky.social comp I picked up yesterday: theleaflibrary.bandcamp.com/album/librar...

Nice one, thanks Gavin! Bountiful, isn’t it? I will never regret making the cover bright yellow, too.

NATIONAL MARCH FOR PALESTINE END THE GENOCIDE ARMING ISRAEL STARTINI SIE GAZA 12 noon, Saturday 19 July Embankment Tube

National demo tomorrow for Palestine, if you can come down

Your gaff, your rules.

I didn't want to mention it but now you have and now everyone definitely knows. Good luck out there.

If I was being a press release wanker I'd suggest that our sound sat somewhere between those two, but I'm not and it doesn't (except in my wildest dreams).

The Leaf Library's many drone/ambient/drizzle-psych albums got me through the pandemic. It's just self-care to have a bunch of this stuff bought and within reach in any given crisis.

Thanks Ian, glad it's been a help. Next album is wall to wall indie pop - I don't know how useful that will be in a crisis.

Also, 'drizzle-psych' is perfect, thank you.

Longer Days with Venus in the Afternoon, by Charm Wrestle 6 track album

Really good, this new Charm Wrestle one: charmwrestle.bandcamp.com/album/longer...

got this a while ago and revisiting this lunchtime — really really good. I think ‘droney but texturally varied’ might be one of my favourite kinds of music. almost the miles ‘time, no changes’ thing

Thanks Robert, too kind. Extra points on your Leaf Library loyalty card for that.

Cheers RDG!

Monument One (ambient/motorik guitar stuff)
Monument Two: Scale - Volume One (max drone)
Monument Three: Floral Calyx Phase (essentially a Basic Design solo album)

Monuments I-V, by The Leaf Library 33 track album

I've been listening again to our Monuments series recently - it sounds good! To celebrate its goodness the individual albums are all pay what you want on Bandcamp...

...OR you can get the collected lot for half price (£4.50 instead of £9) right here:

Today's very sensible and 100% correct opinion is from Keith.

Thanks Keith, glad you're into it. Very generous of you to call it popular music! Hope to see you at an MD gig (or otherwise) at some point.

The Sea and Cake - Car Alarm

A summer favourite this morning!

Must have been weird, worrying and frustrating.

Isn't it - you can always rely on TKR for good design.

And would you look at that.

Good news. It's lovely to have you back on here posting about all the music we love!

That one's a rollercoaster even at the best of times. Hope you're doing ok and the recovery is going well.
