So, it's set in Fife then? πŸ˜‚

(Kirkcaldy born BTW - I never realized how weird the Fife accent is until I moved away)
I think I tried listening to this once... Though I probably got further than I did with Alan White's album 😬
There's a new album from Saintseneca today, a more stripped back sound than some of the stuff they've released in the past, but still folky-droney and interesting #NewMusicFriday open.spotify.com/album/223DSv...

A definite highlight!!! I remember finding the import in Glasgow, back in the days of longbox es and having my mind blown that there was all this stuff I hadn't heard before. The internet has spoiled us!
I hate myself for writing this, but "Camper Vantiquities" was next really in '93 (and both are compilations of rarities...)
I just did a literal double take when I passed a news camera set-up in Union Station and realized the reporter was wearing a sequined Dodgers shirt. The US News media has discovered Canada... #GoJaysGo

Also, I fucking love this song. It's a blast of weird, proggy pop, much like "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" shakes things up on "Selling England..", showing that these guys can rock a (weird) pop song.

It's also what I play whenever I pick up a guitar (it's G, D, C most of the way). ❀️
(for anyone interested, I think Mike's bass has been dropped back a bit, there's new Noel percussion, Croth's drums feel a little groovier, and there's some additional "harmonies" (aka weird yelps) from Phil. Looking forward to seeing what the @super-deluxe.bsky.social surround mix does with it...)
Happy #NewMusicFriday Halloween! πŸŽƒ

It's a bit of quiet one, so I've been starting with an old/new thing - the new mix of Split Enz's "Sweet Dreams" is finally on Spotify, so I've had it on repeat, dissecting the differences to the sublime original. Fun! open.spotify.com/track/4WYUo3...

Why not take your kids to Disneyland, the most diseased place on earth! Not that I had any plans to, but you could not get me to take my kids to Florida for anything 😬
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

The newspaper comic strip Krazy Kat, created by George Herriman, premiered on October 28, 1913. The characters had previously appeared as a side strip to The Dingbat Family. Krazy Kat ran until Herriman’s death in 1944.

THIS is how you reject a faulty premise. Don’t rush past the facts to argue with a straw man. Remind everyone of the facts first!
Watching this week's Taskmaster, and that dribble task is... 🀒
I'm keeping the CanCon going this afternoon, following up Rush with the Hip (why yes, I am white, male and middle aged. However did you guess? πŸ˜–). "Day for Night" sounding great though, particularly "Nautical Disaster" youtu.be/e8Fi46BFAF0?...

SHE STRIKES AGAIN! The new single from Hemlocke Springs is arcane and provocative as I've come to expect from her. I love her vibrant style and play with the medium ~
