Your Smile Is Made Of Vanished Days, by A Tape Collage For Eloise
7 track album
atapecollageforeloise.bandcamp.com
A Tape Collage For Eloise was a project from back in my late teens/early 20's. Mostly recorded digitally so a bit more conventionally "well produced" than my current stuff (though still incorporating lo-fi tape elements here and there):

I encourage anyone who gets this ad to report it for being harmful and predatory. I don't know what, if any, difference that will make. But it is absolutely fucking unacceptable.
Youtube is a platform where you will be demonetised if you discuss issues like rape or suicide but they are more than happy to peddle this disgusting, thoroughly dystopian misogynistic shit:

I got this for a quid in a charity shop back in the good old days before vinyl prices became totally immoral and the internet took all the fun out of crate-digging.
Hounds of Love is just a perfect song. So sophisticated for a young person in their 20s. Damn, KB’s a genius 💜
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me someone
Help me, please
Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake
And I'll be two steps on the water…
The hounds of love are hunting…

music production discussions on reddit are the fucking worst. A bunch of guitar bro snobs who think any transgression from doing things the PROPER way is heresy or evidence of musical ignorance. Some people just like to think for themselves dude.

The sensation of an assault on democracy is made worse by the fact that Labour has essentially governed as a Tory party. It's in big bold letters: you're not allowed to choose, make do with the slop you're given.

it makes me sad to see young folk wanting to leave spotify but feeling as though they can't find new music to listen to without being fed it by a corporate algorithm. You don't need that shit, kid!

Who are you this time?
That a song could be this beautiful and this excoriating. At once vicious and vulnerable. A cornered cry for redemption. Only Waits writes songs like these, made from equal parts ambrosia and vinegar.

It's infuriating to see so much of the media give Kruger the same kid gloves treatment that Rees-Mogg used to get because he is posh and polite and able to wrap his bigotry in enough intellectual tissue paper to make it seem like a political philosophy rather than an expression of white supremacy.
Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.

I’ve seen them live a couple times, and they’re great
A great band from the golden age of the early aughts Austin music scene. Punchy, urgent indie rock with a driving power pop heart & more than a hint of The Replacements wild energy. Wouldn't be surprised if they were an influence on The Hold Steady too:

The national lottery ads where a sensible guy is like "it's all a con" & then a bunch of deeply off-putting, insufferable lottery winners smugly correct him from their golf courses & mansions aren't doing the job of gaslighting me into thinking I'll win, they're just making me hate rich people more.

One of the negatives of the 4-track being out of commission is that I can't do my usual thing of blindly barrelling ahead recording songs everyday so I've got more time to think and that means the old "why are you even bothering with music, your songs are all trash" voice is back in my head.
