Nancy Novotny (DJ Gilliflower)

Thank you! I have been off social media for a while. So nice to log back on and see your kind comments!

Aww, shucks! Thanks!

From yesterday’s walk along the coast path near St. Ives, Cornwall

I never got the hang of Twitter back in the day, and I’ve not gotten the hang of this place yet. I’m still posting a lot at Instagram, because communicating via pictures seems more natural to me. Anyway, I am in Cornwall for the opening of the first major Ithell Colquhoun exhibition. It’s fab!

New to my collection (found at Antique Alley here in Portland a couple days ago): a lovely CDV of a girl named Ann Biddle and her wee (stuffed?) kitten, photographed by J.E. Watson of Detroit, Michigan.

Orange Clearing, by Domenica Diavoleria 10 track album

Autumn wanes & winter is creeping up, so it's time for gothic ambient electronics, right? Check out Orange Clearing by @diavoleria.bsky.social for when you explore the old mansion at the end of the lane...and give her a follow too! #synthsky #ambientsky

It doesn’t look like that display has the one essential item I always buy at Marks & Sparks when in the UK—the best opaque black tights.

I like this, too. I forgot how Duran-y Duran-y it is.

I never met Norm, but I loved his music so. Still not over his untimely passing.

I like that there is a very good new single from both Horsegirl and Goat Girl (both via Beggars Group) this week.

Tribal Organic: Deep Dive into European Percussions 79-90, by GLOSSY MISTAKES 10 track album

Madrid-based label, Glossy Mistakes, just announced this exciting new compilation. I'll likely be pursuing a vinyl copy from a US distributor, but I think I need that Cuco Pérez track right now!

The first single is so great. I ❤️ Edith

It’s so good. I’m really hoping there’s a 2nd pressing in the works

In Space, by Edith Frost 12 track album

A new LP from the great Edith Frost? Yes, please! Loving the first single

Weirdly, I found my copy in a flea market in Roveniemi, Finland, a few years ago for €1

I just counted. It's still November, and I've already played 275 releases from 2024 (not counting reissues) on my radio show, Turtles Have Short Legs. I like them all (or else I wouldn't have played them). This is going to making compiling my "Best of 2024" list challenging!
