@Kidfried I think it’s some sort of live-stream disco thing playing the Madison Square Garden set. Big adverts everywhere here as it’s not a tour but an exhibition from the members of the band and some photographer guy that’s only being shown here. It’s in an old subway tunnel as well!
@Kidfried makes sense. I actually prefer listening to recorded works. Attended a couple concerts when I was younger but now I just like to very privately enjoy my music, alone and away from the world. I've even bought tickets for shows that I just never went to - Ray LaMontagne and Imogen Heap.

@zupertramp Unironically, I would rather listen to Peppa Pig’s album on repeat than force myself through Donda. After the car crash that was Jesus is King, I’m just plain done with Kanye.
@Keith_Zissou I feel like between Manchester and Glasgow, you could cover most bands that come to the UK. We get quite a lot up here and even if they don’t go past the border, it’s only a train away to go down to Manchester or Liverpool. We have a pretty thriving music scene between us!
@TheBrandedSwordsman hey, I’m back in the saddle 👍 never heard of him before, so I gave that album a listen. I really enjoyed it, thanks for that! Not sure if it’s the album or the artist but even when things get ‘upbeat’, I feel there is a real sadness, or darkness, that carries throughout the album. A longing for something just out of reach. Talented fellow

@Jimmer-jammer Yeah his life story is really interesting, you should look him up on Wikipedia, he struggled with alcoholism and mental health issues later in his life before making a sort of comeback and making weird electric records inspired by Sonic Youth and the rest of that crowd, who he was hanging out with at the time, and who cited him as an influence, as I say, you should go and read about him because he was a very interesting guy, even founded his own record label to release his own albums and albums by lesser-known jazz and blues musicians as well. Will you listen to more by him, do you think?

@TheBrandedSwordsman that sounds interesting, thanks, I’ll check out his biography. I started listening to another one of his, whatever auto played after ‘America’, I can’t recall at the moment which one it was. I’ll have to go back to it and give it a proper listen. A quick google tells me that there is no shortage of material!
I like the sound of him starting a record label, especially to give a voice to lesser known musicians. Thanks for the recommendation!

Little Simz’ new album is really really good. Like probably one of the best albums this year. I’d definitely recommend it, even though I wasn’t a massive fan of her last album.
@render Shaun Keaveny's last 6music show today, featuring the final segment of the Open Arms on 6music but he says the IP of the Open Arms rests with him and will be coming with him wherever he goes, "I'm hoping to get some work from them (the BBC)" "Have I said too much?" So hopefully he'll be on Radio 1 or something like that in the next few weeks/months/years. How are you? Will you keep listening at his new destination?
