Ah, lovely. I don’t have the 7” but I do have that on the Singles compiled CD so I may well join you with a listen.

Thanks Kieron, it’s so brilliant, I struggle to describe it - it’s lost none of its power for me! Hope you’re doing well.

I can’t wait, just tell me where to send my money, Mike.

Goodbye Wudaokou @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social · 8h

Me too (and thanks for putting some of them out into the world!). Personally, I reckon Silent 88 is the masterpiece, but listening to this earlier, it’s so bloody audacious- beautiful, fragile, a mess, explosive. Sounds like complete youthful disregard for anything else.

Sincere thanks to anyone who’s watched the video / listened to Only Questions. I was out at a ridiculous hour last night trying to record the next one…

Goodbye Wudaokou @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social · Jul 25

Thrilled to share the video for the new Goodbye Wudaokou song, Only Questions, directed by the very talented Jonathan Shipley @assistant.bandcamp.com filmed in Beijing (Wudaokou), Harbin and my bedroom! #musicsky #diysky #janglepop delighted if you’d check it out:

Very much looking forward to this. If it’s half as good as the first two issues, it will be ace 💜

What's this gingerly loping into view? Looks a bit like issue 3 to me.

#NowPlaying The Telephone Numbers - Scarecrow II. A great first few listens of this. Lovely, tuneful indie pop with faint Americana vibes imho. Off to get the CD later:

Spent the bank holiday re-reading issue 2 of the splendid @assistant.bandcamp.com fanzine In The April Sun accompanied by a very fine soundtrack from @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social @lovejoy-official.bsky.social @glenndonaldson.bsky.social & a cast of indiepop legends. 🎶🎶

In very rare instances, Jason! I reckon Pod has aged incredibly well.

Nice to see the Breeders getting a bit of circulation in your listening of late, Jason!

#NowPlaying Elliott Smith - Elliott Smith. I find this (and the first 3 Elliott Smith albums generally) incredibly soothing. Probably against the intention but I just find his voice and the acoustic guitar tone to have this medicinal quality. Favourite track: Clementine

Elliott Smith - self-titled, album cover. It shows the silhouette of a figure appearing to fall to the ground between two buildings.

Amazing - what year was that? That’s the kind of happening you’d dream of coming across in NY. Not comparable but my own NY achievement was sweet talking my way into a sold out Yo La Tengo Hanukkah show without a ticket.
