Roberta Flack was such a brilliant interpreter - here she absolutely owns Leonard Cohen’s Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye on her 1969 debut. RIP. youtu.be/kz38Vxkyow4?...

Sorry to hear we’ve lost Bill Fay. Time of the Last Persecution was a phenomenally good album. RIP. youtu.be/ofbe697xrOw?...

This is great. The last LPD album I bought was Asylum in 1985 and it’s gratifying to see they are still making really tasty Syd-influenced synth-driven psychedelia. Edward does not sound 71. Check it out with a wide open mind…

Amazing work @wildlifeian.bsky.social and everyone else involved. Please watch this video. There are good people out there. Small Mammal Recovery and River Restoration on Hackney Marshes www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Rz...

RIP Rick Buckler. What fantastic drummer he was. Especially on this underrated corker youtu.be/EndqhHJx-Ko?...

How can you resist a duo called Anarchist Mountains who have a track called ‘A Yugoslavian Spacecraft’? This lovely, ebbing & flowing stuff is slightly-too-maximalist-to-be-ambient. It’s superficially mellow, with just a hint of unease. anarchistmountainsmusic.bandcamp.com/album/fire-w...

Now playing: Some Fantastic Proportion by Friends Meeting aka M. Geddes Gengras & Ben Seretan. A gorgeous 22 minute kosmische improv fundraising for the National Day Laborer Organizing Network's LA fire relief fund. friendsmeeting.bandcamp.com/track/some-f...

Now playing Eyes Like Pools by Marta Mist, one of @worriedaboutsatan.bsky.social ‘s projects. Brilliant, swooping post-rock-ambient-modern classical sounds with fab. Has a kind of understated grandeur to it and y he last track is truly epic. Very nice! martamist.bandcamp.com/album/eyes-l...

Absolutely loving Where Things are Hollow, the gigantic new @headtech.bsky.social album. Already have my ticket for the Manchester show in September… pyecorneraudio.bandcamp.com/album/where-...

Now playing: Summer of Lust by the Green Pajamas. It’s hard to get my head round this album now being over 40 years old. Still sounds so fresh. youtu.be/eXHTPR-vLKY

Now playing: Regen by @oceanographer1.bsky.social - a gorgeous album of spacey electronic/ ambient/ kosmische goodness. Would sit nicely alongside your Castles in Space/Woodford Halse/ Werra Foxma favourites oceanographer-music.bandcamp.com/album/regen

Very happy that the book club is doing folk horror

Think I might sleep with the lights on after these two rather eldritch longform pieces by @giantsofdiscovery.bsky.social & @everydaydust.bsky.social on @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social - soundtracking an imaginary early 70s arthouse horror film. Very good! dustopianfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/entities

Now playing: Stone Knowledge and the Mind Beyond by Cheddar Hawkweed. Ambient psychedelia? Pastoral electronica? Rural kosmische music? Whatever it is, it’s lovely cheddarhawkweed.bandcamp.com/album/ch2-st...

Cheers, Dan - lap steel is the answer to many questions you didn’t know you needed to ask! 🙏

Thank you! Always nice to see a copy in the wild. In great company too! 🙏
