Appreciating, not practising music, whisky, art - Brummie in exile - UTV - No flags - Not really a druid (sorry) - Hoary traveller - Seen Tom Waits live
Swans have left the stage. But only after 2 1/2 hours of electrifying, brutal and beautiful music. All that after a haunting and poignant set from Jessica Moss drawing from her latest - and finest - release, Unfolding

Quality Midland presence at day two of Mutations: Big Special, GANS and Jools - plus Manc outfit Yaang - the picks of the day, but inevitable clashes meant missing some old favourites (Benefits, Pigsx7, Opus Kink)

Day one of Mutations Festival in Brighton - highlights University, Upchuck and Makeshift Art Bar. Nearly ready for day two...

PRE-ORDER

Nelly Quist ‘Hibernation’

cruelnaturerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/hibern...

Nelly Quist is a Stockholm based sound artist. Her latest work presents a body of experimental electronics where rhythm coils against foggy atmospheres and submerged noise currents.

Haven't managed to see Deathcrash since 2021 and last saw Divide & Dissolve on Low's final tour. Getting both at Corsica Studios made for a quality night - if a somewhat poignant one. 3 years to the day since we lost Mimi Parker, tributes on the stage and a lot of Low on the PA.

Saya Gray's quirky art pop was quite exceptional at Electric Brixton last night. As was her excellent backing band. Any comparison with Bill Bailey is quite unwarranted

Last couple nights out both with @babayagashut.bsky.social, great to see @sealionwoman.bsky.social opening for the mighty Big/Brave at the ICA, then a slightly gentler evening at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social with the intriguing White Sage and Immersion

Enjoyed a few hours in the @walkerartgallery.bsky.social whilst in Liverpool. Finally saw the original Charles March Gere I only know from a print, but these works by Peter Doig and Jamie Holman were especially arresting

Well worth a listen. Quality
Out now - 'On the Track of Discovery’ - an anthology recorded 2019-2023, featuring tracks inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula, ancient alien theories, the Rendlesham forest UFO encounter, alien broadcast interruptions on UK TV and the art of psychometry.

More Black Country, New Road, this time at Brighton Dome. The Big Star cover was a bonus, as was My New Band Believe, the intriguing new project from ex-Black Midi man Cameron Picton. Very promising.

Something old, something new. David Bedford's orchestral works, including his Roy Harper-inspired Twelve Hours of Sunset.

Lovely Eggs celebrating 20 years at the Garage. Music to put a big smile on your face. Caught the excellent Polite Bureaux again too. A whole year since the last time, unbelievably.

They're back. And they're on fire. @prolapseband.bsky.social completely chaotically brilliant at @thelexingtonlondon.bsky.social last night. Unforgettable

I can't express how brilliant the next few releases are, and all these funds will go towards making them a reality.

Long live difficult music!

Fabulous set from James Holden & Waclaw Zimpel at @alphabetbrighton.bsky.social. Getting there early definitely paid off, not sure there was much to see from further back

Lost count of how many times I've seen The Utopia Strong, but last night's set at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social must rank as one of their best. Excellent support from Andrew Liles too. Another top night's entertainment from @babayagashut.bsky.social
