PJ Harvey- Let England Shake . Her album from back in 2011. Just overwhelmingly brilliant. Bloody hell. What a talent. True fucking art. And its got tunes, too. Edited by user 13 November 2022 11:37:13(UTC)

New Weyes Blood album out today.On first listen i'm not sure it's in the same league as her utterly fantastic Titanic Rising album form 2019 but her dancing in a new vid is just beautiful while the cartoon phone symbolises how our addiction to them is eating our souls. I guess?

Well, after a month of football it all comes down to the big one tomorrow, France v Argentina. I feel it's going to be heartbreak for Lionel Messi. France just know how to win. I'm going for France 3 Argentina 2 in 90 minutes.As the late great Lee Scratch Perry sang, you got to kick the ball, you got to win the game, oof!

^ Yep, RIP Terry Hall.A great artist. Those first 2 albums by The Specials were seared into my brain at the age of 11-12 as my brother had bought both. They were on constantly in our house in the late 70s / early 80s. A very sad loss.
RIP Martin Duffy. I don't think i'd realised and apprecciated before how much he shaped and contributed to Primal Scream's sound. I think Channel 4 news slipped up last night by briefly showing a photo of Andrew Innes instead of Martin Duffy but the pic was only up for a second and maybe it was meant to portray Martin on keyboards behind?

Lush. Recieved Miki Berenyi's autobiography 'Fingers Crossed' for christmas. A few chapters in, her (very beautiful) Japanese mother appeared in You Only Live Twice and is also the girl in the title sequence of the Bond classic, wow. Apparently, later in the book she rips apart the whole Britpop scene of the 90s and exposes it for the crap it was. So, looking forward to reading that. Could be juicy.

Mitski. Lovin this tune. Became aware of her only through browsing the end of year lists and discovering her great Laurel Hell album.

Heard this on Tom "Peel" Ravenscroft's Ravers Hour recently. Brand new track. Which artists/records does this sound like? I'll start with: Kraftwerk and NO.

Been revisiting this song again recently. One of Cocteau Twins' finest. Nostalgic memories from teenage 80s days. The drum (machine) beat always intrigued me. It's very hard to make sense of but in a good way. It's very freeform. Beautiful and heavenly vocal from Liz, a kind of rolling infectious bass by Simon Raymonde and a haunting choral keyboard effect. Robin Guthrie's guitar is essential but not intrusive. The cat is the star of the vid.
