I did a thread of (most of) my records and ways to hear / buy them
An overview of my recorded work. First up: TOTAL STRIFE FOREVER (2014). Debut album under East India Youth, via Stolen Recordings. Nominated for Mercury Prize. Melancholic synth pop via techno / ambient / krautrock / classical(?) etc

It’s a real big boy.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Humans usually extract info from these fictive agents (Zeus, Pooh, E. Bennett) without believing they're real. But in psychopathologies people treat fictive agents - saints, spirits, actors, celebrities - as real influences on their actions. Chat GPT is just the latest example.

The Beatles' "Abbey Road" is the first known album that was recorded on a road. What makes it especially impressive from a technical point of view is how little traffic noise was picked up. Given the huge volume of cars in London, this type of album would be nearly impossible to recreate nowadays.

happy I found this again---a favorite clip of Eno and Cale in the studio, 1989. "Are any of the other verses all right?" "I don't think so, no."

new: a publishing supernova of hastily commissioned Oasis books is coming to the shelves of Dads and Uncles near you.

For @thequietus.com I read three of them. How do they confront what Oasis were for most of their career (I.e. appalling, making bad music)?

This is good. So much of this stuff is people’s a) inability to generate their own thoughts about something having actually interrogated how they feel. And b) their pathetic need to fit in on platforms that (sort of but not actually) reward them. It’s fucking maddening!
