This was a bit of a special one , two years late, finally got my chance to see the incredible Myriam Gendron playing at a packed out Trades Club. Here’s a glimpse from a Michael Chapman cover ’You Say. Beautiful guitar and voice. One for the ages ✨

Reminded of this today and salvaged from the deepest darkest recesses of adidas shoe boxes under the stairs.. Still sounds like one of the best underground hip hop releases of that unbelievably fertile era. Bought Spring 2002 Amoeba Records San Francisco.

Incredible album that I heard for the first time today (Emmanuelle Parrenin - Maison Rose 1977). This track Topaze taken from it is nuts, sounds like proto This Heat. youtu.be/1dwaFOF8FFo?...

Anybody enjoying it on here yet? Rarely come back to a post & see any kind of interaction or beginnings of conversation. See lots of self promotion, lots of whining/ culture wars etc. But neutral enthusiasm for music, film etc barring the odd account I know to look out for it really does feel stale

Show me some albums that you’re convinced nobody loves more than you.
maybe skip the Sgt Peppers/ Pet Sounds/ OK Computer etc for sake of this. The more low key weird stuff people might not be switched on to the better
