While doing my regular search for any news on the 50th anniversary of Split Enz's "Mental Notes", I discovered that Stuart Maconie started his Freak Zone show on BBC Radio 6 Music the other day with the rare-ish track "Another Great Divide" ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I've been looking forward to this episode since they announced it - mostly to see if @misterabk.bsky.social and @eleanormorton.bsky.social found the cave stuff as utterly fucking terrifying as I did when I re-read it last year 😱 open.spotify.com/episode/5a34...

Is this the worst horror novel ever written? In the latest episode of Eleanor & Alasdair Read That, we discover what might be the best bad book in the world. (And we also read Alan Garner's folk-horror classic The Weirdstone of Brisingamen.) linktr.ee/readthat @eleanormorton.bsky.social

Spinning the vinyl from last year's super-deluxe of Yes's "Fragile" this morning. How can you resist an album that kicks off with "Roundabout"? #prog #NowPlaying

It is amazing to me that Dems are pressured to water down their messaging in order to avoid alienating 'centrists,' but Republicans can round up and deport sobbing children without fear of alienating 'centrists.' Says a lot about what we mean when we say 'centrists'

Until this week's release of the super-deluxe edition of INXS's "Listen Like Thieves" I probably hadn't listened to it in 30+ years. Which is why I've never noticed the similarity of album track "Same Direction" to New Order's "True Faith"... 🤔 open.spotify.com/track/3cn8Hn...

Jazz pianist Matthew Shipp has slammed André 3000’s new improvisational piano EP. “I think it is complete and utter crap -horrific-god awful insipidly wretched nothing,” he writes. “oh my fucking god this is some atrocious shite — is he some type of fucking asshole?”

Well, since there's nothing new to listen to, it's a good thing that I finally got a copy of my favourite album from last year - Magdalena Bay's "Imaginal Disk" ❤️🧠💿 #NowPlaying

I'm really enjoying diving into Esther Rose's back-catalog after hearing her new album, "Want". I'm also wondering how the hell I hadn't heard her before, considering Alynda Segarra dueted on her last album, "Safe to Run"? open.spotify.com/album/4I9i05...

I am ridiculously fond of and nostalgic about Roger Glover's "The Butterfly Ball..." album, but I'm not sure where that comes from. I 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 my brother had a copy, but I don't recall listening to it that often when I was a kid? open.spotify.com/album/79zSPI...

Sometimes the algorithm works: the new Esther Rose album, "Want", showed up in my "Suggested New Releases" this week and... yup. It's my kind of thing. #NewMusic Also, her voice reminds me a lot of Frances Quinlan's (Hop Along), which is no bad thing. open.spotify.com/album/4fsOql...

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

Y'know when you hear a new album and it just really hits the spot? The new one from Samantha Crain, "Gumshoe", is right there. It's probably going to be a top 10 album for me this year ❤️ #NewMusicFriday open.spotify.com/album/4RtdIq...

Ever feel like Spotify is aggressively pushing an artist into your listening? For me it's Miya Folick. I do like her stuff, but it's getting a bit weird how the algorithm almost always plays one of her tracks first when I finish listening to something else... open.spotify.com/artist/1jFVu...

Making an early-ish start on #NewMusicFriday with the new S/T Lucius album. I'm liking this a lot more than their last (but then, I felt that I wasn't really the audience for that one). I think I'll find myself returning to this one a few times this year. open.spotify.com/album/06Jimj...

In the latest case of enshitification, Plex no longer allows remote streaming of your own media without paying a subscription. Good thing I moved to jellyfin ages ago.

This is true... but depends on which version of the album you first encountered. It looks like AU & NZ always started with "Mean to Me", but every other country had "World Where You Live" as the first track for some reason (but only the vinyl? 🤪). Would love to know why...
