“Lotta Love” from Neil’s criminally slept-on Comes a Time album. Pure mellow gold (with backing vocals by Nicolette Larson).

Courtney Barnett does a sweet cover; Dinosaur Jr's cover, well, let's just say it's quite, er...something (kills me!).

Can’t wait to not see them.
#Autechre
Instructions for tonight’s Autechre concert… PLEASE NOTE - Autechre will perform in darkness. For their set, all lights in the venue will be off. Please plan on being in one place for the performance and do not move unnecessarily until it has finished when the lights will come back on again. Please do not shine any lights at the stage or around the room during the performance unless you require assistance. In case of emergency, lights will come on and staff will be there to assist you to leave the venue. If you need to leave for any reason during the show, please use your mobile phone to light your way. If you are in need of assistance, please turn on your phone's light and wave above your head. Security will come to you and help. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of spending around 80 minutes in the dark while Autechre play, please see venue staff before the performance starts. Venue security will be in place for your safety and monitoring the audience as at any normal show. Absolutely no recording or flash photography please.

Happy 50th to INDISCREET!

Sparks’ 5th studio album was released this month in 1975. Produced by Tony Visconti and released on Island Records, the album is nowadays considered an indisputable Sparks classic.

Oh my. Morrissey’s official site just posted a photo of him crouched on the shoulder of a gravel road in Philipsburg, Quebec (read: the absolute middle of nowhere), with the caption screaming MORRISSEY ENTERING CANADA. 😂

Didn’t know this video existed lol. It’s like a avant garde shreds video. Love the part where the museum docent politely asks him to stop.

Can I interest you in a really cool bug in these trying times?

This is the Picasso moth (Baorisa hieroglyphica), native to India & Southeast Asia.
A white moth with colorful markings on the wings that resemble modern art. Dark lines and blushes of color like a red spot and yellow thick line. "V & A moth (from the markings on the forewing costa), a species of the genus Baorisa, probably Baorisa hieroglyphica Moore, 1882 (Noctuidae). Paper describing several new species is Behounek, G, Speidel, W. & Thöny, H. 1996. Revision der Gattung Baorisa Moore, 1882 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (G. Behounek, W. Speidel & H. Thöny Esperiana 3.
