Occasional thoughts about noisy experimental music and Cardiff town planning debacles. Mostly I just lurk.

“This ain’t gonna look good on our report, Leroy.”
Brilliant film
If you're looking for an Udo Kier film to watch, may I recommend BACURAU (2019), starts off like a worthy slice of sociopolitical realism and ends up as demented Brazilian neo-western exploitation. Don't read anything else, just see it. Contains one of my favourite film moments of the 21st century.

A moment, please, to consider the absolute majesty of Daphne Oram's unbelievable score to this. A pitch shifted, time stretched, frequency agile glimpse of the future of music production; a liberty-taking all analogue remix of Sandy Nelson's Teen Beat realised in real time with the visuals.

The Unutterable is the best 21st C LP by the mighty Fall; or is this visionary work concerning Pete Tong, ket & soup, their best period?

Every year the same. Clocks go back. *Time itself* manipulated- ‘for farmer’. And every year the farmer next door to me luxuriates in slumber, delights in lethargy, stews in nod. His fields? fallow; his livestock unattended; his fine machines rusting. Rise, man! Sew; gather; *make hay*

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

it's fucking insane that this is the current situation in America
This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

What a game this was
Skies of Arcadia first released 25 years ago! (10/5/00)
This seminal Dreamcast JRPG sees the player controlling a band of Sky Pirates, flying around the world in an Air-Ship, a la FFVI, exploring dungeons and towns!
Interestingly, the Map starts blank; the player must manually chart the World!!
