In case anyone is grappling with why the trans community’s voices need to be amplified, or why the BLM movement is so important, the children’s book Fair Shares by Pippa Goodhart was instrumental in teaching my kid about equity.
Heres a video of the author reading it:

Record of the day is the 4x4 compilation on Up Records from (I think) 1995/6.
Four tracks each by Appendix Out, Tunic, Kilgore Trout and Brewster, and showcasing Alasdair Roberts at his most indie rock. A true fan favourite (for this fan)

Someone’s playing Start Chopin’ by Dinosaur Jr over the Whole Foods PA and that solo never sounded so good.
Tesco, take note.

If they’re gonna force us to live in this Back to the Future 2 dystopia they could at least give us hoverboards

I never thought my 2nd Grade kid would be bringing notices like this home from school.
That said, I’m incredibly grateful the city are proactively reaching out to support vulnerable families.

We’ve taken in a visitor who’s trying to decide if this will be their forever-home. It’s bitey with surprising attack but we’re bonding…

Sitting in a car park listening to a super heartwarming story on This American Life with tears streaming down my face. Humanity isn’t completely fucked, y’know.

Just overheard a guy in a coffee shop describe himself as a license plate aficionado. I didn’t stick around long enough to hear what he meant but it sure got me wondering

Ariel Pink presumably hopping into his Tesla and heading to Mar-a-Lago to thank Trump for pardoning the January 6 protestors. Listening to some John Maus for the road

Album of the year 2024

This album landed in my life in December and totally disrupted my album of the year plans.
Ugandan lukeme player Ekuka Morris Sirikiti’s first studio album on Nyege Nyege Tapes is crucial stuff. It’s simultaneously urgent and hypnotic, and utterly, utterly beautiful.

The existence of Volcanic Tongue was one of the greatest public services for a weirdos. Super excited about this. Highest possible recommendation!
Coming up next on Disciples...

2xLP compilation of essential underground sounds championed by @reversediorama.bsky.social & @wishimage.bsky.social at their iconic record shop, released to coincide with book of David's music writing @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social

Imagine a world where Wings Over Scotland focused on fried chicken instead of transphobia

Diving deep into Bleed by The Necks. This is some pretty sublime ambience, picked up on the back of some ace recommendations. I’m on my 3rd spin and don’t see this leaving my turntable today.

(Rare January treat of it being so light out that I can’t photograph the sleeve without mad reflections!)

Worlds of Possibility. Soundtracking my Wednesday with @thepastels.bsky.social’ Mobile Safari.
UK Domino version with bonus 7” and US Up version with alternative album art because I’m a goof.

RIP Ed Askew.
It was a real privilege to see him play at the Glad Cafe in Glasgow a decade or so ago. He and the Snock are the two greats of weird American folk. Transcendent stuff.

Songs: Ohia - Protection Spells. So great to revisit this old friend, having been given some long-overdue vinyl treatment. A mightily impressive collection of single-take improvised songs, as haunting, jarring and intense as anything else Molina has penned. Crucial stuff
