Good Lord, how I wish I could’ve seen Massive Attack X Cavalera perform Sepultura’s “Chaos AD” last night at the Espaco Unimed arena in São Paulo. 🤯🫡🫶🏻🤌🏻

Last year I made the mistake of leaving it too late before I dug out my MR James collection and various British Library 🎄 👻 📚 prior to the seasonal festivities. So this year I am starting in November.

I love how this new @agriculturemusic.bsky.social album sleeve echoes the psychedelic eroticisms of those classic My Bloody Valentine singles aesthetics.

Even in terms of its artwork and packaging alone, #KidA is jaw-dropping. I’ve lived in those snow-covered fields and hills, under that apocalyptic sky. To me it’s so “English” in a hyper-romanticised sense: all those hedgerows. Like something from the flying sequence in Raymond Briggs’s The Snowman.

Feeling galvanised after attending today's counter protest in Newcastle and successfully showing the far right that their racism and hatred is not and never will be welcome here. There were many more of us than them on our streets this afternoon and I am filled with hope and determination after seeing it

Finally made it through to pay day after existing on fumes for the last week or so. Happily purchased a pre-order vinyl reissue of the noise classic “Sheer Hellish Miasma” by #KevinDrumm and became a proud paying member of the Patreon account for the amazing #Uboa 😻😽. Good start to the day all in!

Had a bit of a #jazz evening tonight while working on a potential book chapter. First up was “Of Mist and Melting” by Bill Connors, Jan Garbarek, Gary Peacock & Jack DeJohnette (ECM, 1978). Second was “That Wasn't A Dream” by Pino Palladino & Blake Mills (Impulse, 2025). Both great in their own way.

Kurt Cobain’s “Incesticide” liner notes.
“A while ago, I found myself in bloody exhaust grease London again with an all-consuming urge to hunt for two rare things: back issues of NME rumored to be secretly hidden in glass casings and submerged in the fry vats of every kebab machine in the U.K. and the very-ouf-of-print first Raincoats LP. The NME search was a clever, saucy upstart of an attempt to be, uh, nasty. However, the Lord and Julian Cope himself know how we need, need, need the NME to embrace the unifying hands of our children across this big blue marble a NIRVANA's farty musical career. So please bless us again - we'll forever feed of your high-calorie boggy turbinates. In an attempt to satisfy the second part of my quest, I went to the Rough Trade shop and, of course, found no Raincoats record in the bin. I then asked the wom behind the counter about it and she said "well, it happens that 'm neighbors w Anna (member of The Raincoats) and she works at an antique shop just a few m from here." So she drew me a map and I started on my way to Anna's. Sometime later, I arrived at this elfin shop filled with something else l've compulsively searched for over the past few years - really old fucked up marionette-like wood carved dolls (quite a few hundred years old). Lots of then I've fantasized about finding a ship filled with so many. They wouldn't accept o credit card but the dolls were really way too expensive anyway. Anna was ther however, so I politely introduced myself with a fever-red face and explained th reason for my intrusion. I can remember her mean boss almost setting me on f with his glares. She said "well, I may have a few lying around so, if I find one, send it to you (very polite, very English)." I left feeling like a dork, like I had vio her space, like she probably thought my band was tacky.” “A few weeks later I received a vinyl copy of that wonderfully classic scripture with a personalized dust sleeve covered with xeroxed lyrics, pictures, and all the members' signatures. There was also a touching letter from Anna. it made me happier than playing in front of thousands of people each night, rock-god idolization from fans, music industry plankton kissing my ass, and the million dollars I made last year. It was one of the few really important things that I've been blessed with since becoming an untouchable boy genius.it was as rewarding as touring with Shonen Knife and watching people practically cry with joy at their honesty. it made people happy and it made me happy knowing that I had helped bring them to the U.K.it was as rewarding as the last Vaselines show in Edinburgh. They reformed just to play with us in their home town, probably having no idea how exciting and flattering it was for us (and how nervous we were to meet them). It was as rewarding as being asked to support Sonic Youth on two tours, totally being taken under their wing and being showed what dignity really means. it was as rewarding as the drawings Daniel Johnston sent me, or the Stinky Puffs single from Jad Fair's son, or playing on the same bill as Greg Sage in L.A, or being asked to help produce the next Melvins record, or being on the Wipers' compilation, or Thor from T.K. giving me a signed first edition of Naked Lunch, or making a friend like Stephen Pavlovic - our Australian tour promoter who sent me a Mazzy Star LP on vinyl, or playing "The Money Will Roll Right In" with Mudhoney, or having the power to insist on bringing Bjorn Again to the Reading Festival, or being able to afford to bring my friend lan along on tour just to have a good time, or paying Calamity Jane five-thousand dollars to be heckled by twenty thousand macho boys in Argentina, or asking my friends Fits Of Depression to play with us at The Seattle Coliseum, or playing with Poison Idea at a No On Nine benefit i… “While all these things were very special, none were half as rewarding as having a baby with a person who is the supreme example of dignity, ethies and honesty. My wife challenges injustice and the reason her character has been so severely attacked is because she chooses not to function the way the white corporate man insists. His rules for women involve her being submissive, quiet, and non-challenging. When she doesn't follow his rules, the threatened man (who, incidentally, owns an army of devoted traitor women) gets scared. A big "fuck you" to those of you who have the audacity to claim that I'm so naive and stupid that I would allow myself to be taken advantage of and manipulated. I don't feel the least bit guilty for commercially exploiting a completely exhausted Rock youth Culture because, at this point in rock history, Punk Rock (while still sacred to some) is, to me, dead and gone. We just wanted to pay tribute to something that helped us to feel as though we had crawled out of the dung heap of conformity. To pay tribute like an Elvis or Jimi Hendrix impersonator in the tradition of a bar band. I'll be the first to admit that we're the 90's version of Cheap Trick or The Knack but the last to admit that it hasn't been rewarding. At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosex-vals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records. Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song "Polly." I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience. Sorry to be so anally P.C. but that's the way ! feel. Love, Kurdt (the blond one)” “it it weren't for these people, the world would suck eggs: Danny Goldberg, John Silva, Gary Gersh, Rosemary Carroll, Anton Brookes, Russell Warby, Amy Finnerty, Janet Billig, Ron Stone, Alex Macleod, Craig Montgomery, Dylan Carlson, lan Beveridge, Barrett Jones, Shelli Novoselic, Susanne Sasic, Big John, Kevin Kerslake and Silvey Productions, Ernie Bailey, Michael Lavine, Nick Close, Lauren Spencer, Tim Anctil, Mark Kates, John Rosenfelder, Ed Rosenblatt, Everett True, Jonathan Poneman, Bruce Pavitt, Nils Bernstein, Susie Tennant, Jackie Farry, Sub Pop, David Geffen, Lee Johnson, Cathryn Suko, Bob Guccione, fr., Tracy Mirander, etc.”
