I made a shoegaze starter pack. I think the images on the front are generated by number of followers... This is a very imperfect list, I'll probably forget to update it, if you don't want to be on it let me know! go.bsky.app/MAoEsCe

It's a lovely album... more post rock than Just Mustard but drawing on that same deep, dark and twisted shoegaze feel. I can see this one bubbling through people's feeds and now I know why...
ALBUM OF THE DAY: PEBBLEDASH – To Cast the Sea in Concrete
L’album permette all'ascoltatore di portare con sé tradizione e punk contemporaneamente; rimanendo fedeli alle radici del noise e dello shoegaze, perfettamente integrati dal folk irlandese, #pebbledash ancora una volta centrano il bersaglio.

Not much need to submit a review for the new Tortoise, other than to say it sits at a musical crossroads where everything is possible, and contemplates on it all. Masterful. Skittery stripped techno, post rock lushness, un-jazz, it is no age and genre fluid. intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/touch

NP: new release from Hydroplane. It's almost aimless which isn't a fault, meandering but soothing neo folk strewn with cobwebs and thoughts half spoken. hydroplaneband.bandcamp.com/album/a-plac...

Our small manufacturer fell silent for the two minutes... this is something that never happens, and so I stood in the warehouse to experience the deafening silence amidst deafening machines...

I paid a visit to Cambridge, where I'd not been for well over 10 years. I walked through to where my brother used to live and noted the gentrification that made the high street almost unrecognisable there. So many electric scooters! Enjoyed the day trip, I'll be back ...

So here's a thing... The Au Pairs are currently involved in a royalties dispute between their singer, Lesley Woods, and the rest of the band. This "official" account which has just followed me, does not represent the entire band.

This has been an incredible last few weeks... having an intensive catch up on the programs I've missed. Excellently presented look back at a place in time...
Thanks to Martin from #allindiaradio for this week’s takeover. Some great classics & a couple of All India Radio tracks for your listening pleasure. A cracking playlist w/ a great cover in the mix!
