Released lots of videos and different music this year, which you can find in this playlist among other stuff. From the doomy blues tinged drones of The Broken Path, For Paul -a tribute to Paul McCartney and the slightly alt country singer/songwriter stylings of Spilt Milk

People don’t really describe themselves as a “Hoochie Coochie man” much anymore.

Reposting this on the flimsy excuse that the last eps of Beatles Anthology are released today. Won't get into how I feel about corporate behemoths monopolising cultural things that have meant a lot to me growing up and the constant treadmill of new remasters, special edition, "franchise" reboots etc

Stepping away from the drones for a minute, here is something I've been working on for a good while. A song about Paul McCartney, but also about childhood dreams and middle-age (turned 44 very recently so pretty sure I can't escape that label anymore).

Continuing to prove my wife's theory that I have the dessert tastes of someone born in the first, rather than the second last decade of the 20th century by scoffing a load of Turkish delight. See also my fondness for stewed rhubarb, apple/rhubarb tart, custard etc

The long and winding road: Stuart Maconie on why our opinions about the Beatles keep changing
Fans and historians have spent 60 years debating what the band means – and which member is greatest. Will the returning Anthology project and Sam Mendes’s planned biopics create new arguments?

My uncle, who was in Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age, died after moving to Killarney at the height of the pandemic. Our family have been trying to fit the pieces together ever since

I have never read an article which so clearly deserves to be a movie. If it’s not on every desk in Hollywood tomorrow morning, I will be astonished.

Star Trek The Voyage Home with the Whales scene. Here pictured is Scotty, Bones, and a third fella. Bones is in a leather jacket, Scotty in his red uniform, and the 3rd fella looks like a middle management type with a tie, brown sweater over shirt, and a big red button that reads "I quit smoking." Bones and ex-smoker guy are in a wood panel lined office standing and looking down at Scotty who is sitting at a computer & holding a mouse up to his mouth. He has a encouraging smile on his face. Closed caption reads, "Hello, computer."

Our fourth album, with which I tried not to sink

saturated solace

On a black background, we see the picture of a woman, twice. She's a cis white woman, in the dark, naked, her long brunette straight hair falling on her breasts. No make up. The first iteration of the picture has a pink filter, the second a dark lavender one. Band name and album title are written in that same dark lavender tone. Everything feels chaotic, everything feels like it's all falling apart, and I've surprised myself by making this album. I really thought I had nothing left in me to say, to do. I seem to go through these feelings after each album is completed, but this time I really believed it. Until out of the blue, early Spring 2024, I wrote a lot of these songs. We had released in the weeks prior "Avert Your Eyes", as a single-only, written as an intention. The new album is a need. This is saturated solace. Like an alt of myself. This is what I feel. I don't want to have to find more resilience, again and again. I want the sufferings to end. I hope we get there. "Along the Way" ' track o7, is dedicated to the trans community and trans kids especially. -Sylvia Solanas and a white and purple picture of a woman standing, processed through several filters.
