Hah. I refuse to listen to the new Flea album in case I end up liking it.
This album is pretty good, though if you don't like Jan Hammer you might struggle here.

Horacee Arnold - Tales Of The Exonerated Flea
Columbia, 1974

Incidentally, I don't think Flea should be exonerated, however good his current solo band is. He should face the appropriate punishment for his past crimes.

I forgot I have this, and couldn't remember what it sounded like, so now playing.
It's good. Quirky fusion heaters, with John Abercrombie and Sonny Fortune.

I'm eternally grateful to the friend that gave me a dubbed cassette of ETK, with various other Stereolab tracks added on the end.
Crazy to think that it only took them 18 months to follow this with Dots and Loops.

On a train journey back in 2019, I recalled that the singer of the Little Angels was named Toby Jepson.
The riches continue to elude me.

I've just noticed the similarity between the pattern of the tabards from Dinnerladies and the sleeve of Winged Serpent (Sliding Quadrants) by Cecil Taylor.

This is a really good question.
Nothing springs to mind immediately.
It's a good excuse to share and relisten to this one, just in case-

You've already heard them cause you're cooler than me and you have better trainers, but I caught Germ Lattice tonight (supporting the mighty Rattle).
Well good, is my review.
I daresay even - sick.

That looks good. I read The Singularity a while back and really enjoyed it, so I must dig into some more Buzzati.

There's a small green junction box near me that has 'The Fart Of Wanksy' scrawled on it.

Raga Jazz? Maybe, I don't know. Gorgeous record though.
Tenor sax, harmonium, bass and drums is a great set up.

It's good to hoover to!
The only minus is that it's not very similar to either Gong nor Slayer. Still worth a listen though.

DEATH VALLEY, by GONG SLAYER 1 track album

If you find Sunn 0))) a bit too 'busy', then I can recommend Gong Slayer. Long(ish) form drones made purely on gongs.
An excellent tip from @burningambulance.bsky.social
