I'm trying out a new platform for my mixtapes, ditching mixcloud, and I'm starting off with Escapade from 2022 - balearic, italo, deep, jazz - all kinds of house, full daydream inner peace escape mode. link in following tweet:

I just finished the series Mr Inbetween, wow what an incredible, brief show. somewhere between Sopranos and Breaking Bad in tone but funnier and with much more of a lowkey, slice of life vibe - yet the stakes and danger seem all the more real because of this. I loved it.

Albini's production on this GYBE album is unbelievable, a high water mark for post rock, one that shook the way I heard music at the time. So glad I reached for it after revisiting Big Black

Every few months another cultural institution gets trashed by some conglomerate for short term profit and loads of talented, hard working people lose their jobs. We mourn it and we move on, but this world is getting remade by those with no interest in art, culture, or people.

I heard the news about Damo Suzuki and immediately had to blast "Halleluwah" - listening with my son now, telling him about one of the greatest bands to ever exist, soaking in Damo's shambolic magic. RIP to one of the realest to ever do it

Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column. even began one of his late albums with a quote from Tony Wilson asking, "is this an art form, or are you just a technician?" humble to the extreme yet a virtuoso in every way that matters.
who are the other journeymen of music? the ones who, like albini, think of themselves as workers and not artist-genuises? so far all i can think of is bob mould.

Everyone talks about Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock - rightfully, they're 2 of the best albums ever made - but The Colour of Spring gets just as much if not more play around my house. Immaculate bridge between synthpop and.. well, heaven.

When I find music on bandcamp and I press play and it starts on a song in the middle of the album, I say "nope" and immediately start track one instead. I figure they want us to hear the single first but I wanna know how the whole album feels y'know? yes I am a silly man.
