NP: The latest by Magick Knives which is incredible, goth psych and melody with floating space, and not a hint of murk. Highly recommended! libraryoftheoccult.bandcamp.com/album/magick...

If you've never heard the Wild Swans give their "Incandescent" album a listen. They could and should have been massive!

Songs in the key of Indesit. I've got @stuartmaconie.bsky.social and Freak Zone to thank for this. 🤭
There are some seriously nice gigs here... oh I'm playing one of these gigs! 🤩 pôt-pot and Glisten Trick Sunday 17 May, huge psych vibes on the night. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Haven’t been doing these anymore, but today’s releases in 1992 were too special to ignore. Post #1:
Out today in 1992, Ride’s brilliant second record, Going Blank Again. The fantastic ’Time Of Her Time’: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXPa...
Also released on March 9, 1992, Curve’s dazzling debut album, Doppelgänger. ‘Ice That Melts The Tips’ combines my two favorite things about Curve songs: the squalling wall of guitars and the immense tidal wave of bass. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBI1...
Ridiculously good night of music @justdroppedin.bsky.social tonight. Wonderful sets from @mtmiseryband.bsky.social and @heyhumdrum.bsky.social and a sublime headlining slot from Special Friend. Bravo @joesors.bsky.social
Wooo! We find it goes well with a light ale, or ginger beer...
ICYMI on Friday here is my new single "Wrigglers", from a forthcoming album of the same name on @crackedankles.bsky.social . The video is insane and whimsical. Single is on streaming and if you buy the EP you get a bunch of tangential variants of the track: polypores.bandcamp.com/album/wriggl...

In my teens and twenties I used to take film photos at gigs. Recently I’ve enjoyed taking some just with my mobile phone.
Here are some photos I took at Life After Death 3 of Strange Orc, Invunche and Thorn Wych.
These are really great, look great on a PC!
Really surprised "What do Cocteau Twins lyrics mean?" isn't in this list...
There are more questions than answers.
Songwriters fine, I think most entrants work with them. And that's a top songwriter! If someone offered me a writer's session I'd love that! The song feels like boxes ticked, after the songwriter was finished: the performer sincerity sidelined. He has sly humour in his other work, so it's a shame...
It sound like some professional songwriting was roped in... which is a shame, as I was hoping it would be a lot weirder. 🙏
ALL Women must stand together on International Women's Day Graphic image of women's outlines in different colours like watercolour.
On International Women’s Day, we reflect on the importance of solidarity between women🩷
For over a decade, the conversation around trans rights has been used to divide women who would otherwise stand together. This weakens our ability to challenge the real sources of inequality, misogyny & violence
There's a lovely long piece you can read here about Your Sister's House: daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2015/02/nigh...
On this International Women's Day, I've been thinking of this 90s club night in Lower Haight SF, Your Sister's House. Trans inclusive, welcoming to all women (and men) and a respite from the male driven rave scene at the time. We packed the house (I'm pictured in the organiser's meeting photo).
Oh, this is us! Thank you Dirty Sunbeams for this lovely preview of the new soon-to-be-available @linesofsilence.com EP!
They're legends! Hi! ⚡️
Also, because I like a good news shoegaze psych story, Asteroid No 4 are doing well aren't they?! 💛
Colour photograph of what will now be known as The Rex. The old venue has the words 'Zap Space' in pink lettering above pink doors set into an orange wall.
A new music venue will open in East London in late 2027. The Rex will be housed inside the defunct Stratford theatre of the same name, and will have a capacity of 2,300 people.

Taken from IG and promoted by The Seventh Wave in Birmingham. Fascinating gig, and the only date I can see so far for AATT in the UK.
I feel very sorry for you. In era 2000s media Soho London, this would have caused an overturned table, at the least.
Today is Bandcamp Friday, always a good day to stock up on those releases you've been saving aside. Glisten Trick is having a quiet day, painting the death cult rainbows in our head... glistentrickofficial.bandcamp.com/music
