Phrases On The Mount, by Heather Leigh from the album Glory Days

#TheTwen2ie5 day 13

3️⃣8️⃣ Heather Leigh | Phrases On the Mount | Glory Days | 2020 | UK

The pedal steel guitar lends this gorgeous piece an Americana vibe; so much so that I originally thought Heather was American, but actually she's based in Glasgow.

(Not an anti-rap stance, just an anti-guest-rapper one)

One of the banes of modern pop music is the guest appearance, in which a rapper pops up to spit a few bars and ruin the mood. Which is why I prefer this version of the song.

LOL LOL LOL Woke up this morning to find all the texts had been delivered at 01:14

In a quarter of an hour's time I'm going to get half a dozen blasted texts and I'm not going to know which six digit string is the still valid one 😬

It's that time of a Friday evening when Barclaycard's verification text system collapses because everybody is drunkenly booking hotels and restaurants

Weird vocal and synthetic drones combine sublimely

I've been waiting for this to issue don CD for ages, so I was gutted to find it was already sold out on @warringtonruncorn.com Bandcamp site. Fortunately Norman Records has it. Huzzah!

Although I suppose it's quite likely Sweden will get slapped with tariffs instead

Norwegian government currently bracing itself for 150% tariffs on moose jerky, brown cheese and salty licorice

EEEK!

If I wasn't sitting at a table wearing headphones I ight have skanked to this

But Cameron's main failure was his failure to lead his own party, particularly when it came to the Eurosceptic nutters, and his abdication after the referendum.

#TheTwen2ie5 day 9

4️⃣2️⃣ Jane Weaver | Solarised (W H Lung remix) | Flock | 2021 | UK

This remixed track balances between #synthpop and #krautrock in a way which reminds me of Goldfrapp (complimentary)

For any confused third-parties, Synaptic Manhunt is the precursor novel to The Neural Atrocity

I remember enjoying The Neural Atrocity when I read it as a teenager (even though the backcover blurb made it out to be an entirely different sort of book). I didn't realise he wrote other books about the DNA Cowboys

Black Classical Music (feat. Venna & Charlie Stacey), by Yussef Dayes from the album Black Classical Music

#TheTwen2ie5 day 7

4️⃣4️⃣ Yussef Dayes | Black Classical Music ft Venna & Charlie Stacey | Black Classical Music | 2023 | UK

Its title is a both defiant manifesto and a plain fact: a platonic jazz combo (sax, piano, bass, drums) does its jazz thang brilliantly

You did a topnotch job on the flames of the torch

Anti-glory, by Horsegirl from the album Versions of Modern Performance

When done well (as here) the guitar/bass./drums/vox combo still packs a punch
