@Keith_Zissou I somehow didn’t realise there was a new Beach House album coming out. I’ll need to get round to that!

@Keith_Zissou I happened upon one of his live sets on YouTube and just happened upon this track. When I first listened to it just really got me and I must have listened to it 5 or 6 times that day. Really wish I had any musical talent to make something like that. I know what you mean about his age as well. Must have had an easy paper round 😆

It’s been a while since I’ve listened to Beach House but I’m going to check out that new album 👍

I got a new song out!

@Voltan That’s pretty awesome. You get a good amount of screen time too. Did you write it as well?

@render I helped with the lyrics and harmonies and stuff but mostly the guitarist wrote the instrumental base and the singer came up with the lead melodies (I helped a tiny bit there too) for this one.

I’ll share a bit from my minimal techno project…

Second single from Fontaines D.C.’s upcoming album just as good as the first one. This album could be something special.

@nessisonett I've heard Jackie Down the Line quite a few times on 6music recently, quite like it. Are you looking forward to Elden Ring (you don't have to reply to that bit here).

So I just learned of this U2 side project called “Passengers” with Brian Eno. I am by no means a U2 guy, pretty indifferent to them, but Passengers is interesting. Nothing mind blowing but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Apparently they used one of their tracks at the end of the Ghost in the Shell anime but I don’t remember it.

My band's new album is out today

Been on a bit of a jangle pop/college rock kick. It’s really quite the treasure trove if you dig past your Smiths or REM and listen to stuff a bit further afield.

@Diamond_Dog Oh yeah, Crazy Rhythms is fantastic. Absolutely all over the place but great! I also didn’t realise Daddy’s Highway (complete with horrifying album cover) was partially recorded in Glasgow but we were one of the centres of indie music in the 80s along with Dunedin (which coincidentally comes from the Gaelic for Edinburgh) and Athens, Georgia.

@Diamond_Dog I’d probably recommend bands like Josef K and The Pastels in terms of ones who were around in that scene. There’s also Sarah Records from Bristol which had bands like Another Sunny Day and The Field Mice who’re a little bit more twee but have aged really well.

Kinda funny to see Boris Grebenshchikov of Aquarium on yet another blacklist in Russia, this time for being anti-war. The guy’s been pretty much permanently on one list or another but continues to release music.
