And aren’t you glad you don’t tour America :)

That, admittedly, would be preferable. The closest I got to that was sending unsolicited emails and getting very gracious responses. And in the case of SWANS, following them on tour for 15 years and standing in the same spot in front of the stage every show…

“Someone told me the other day that social media was dying and that we would soon have a dead internet space in which bots spew endless drivel into the void even though humankind has turned its back.”

That made my bleary eyed morning as well (although it has allowed me to connect with my heroes)

“And a great cover”

That and “Trinity” released on the same day made it a very good day indeed. Both are gorgeous records in their different ways

That’s amazing that you spoke with Kenji Kawai. His soundtrack is as legendary as the film itself

You’re 15/10

That’s what I do with “The Disintegration Loops”. Those 4 cds are my companion for every drive to New York and back. And you’re right - it is pretty easy to speed once you settle into the music’s groove. But it’s perfect music for the thousand yard stare of each lonely American highway mile

“Introducing Carl Cocks”. That’s the track

The first track of “My Love” is legendary. It’s pretty much the whole ep

Tim Hecker also released at least his first album under his name on there I believe. Maybe that and an ep? I definitely know “Haunt me” was on there. That was back when he made good records

Follow that with “Ray of Light” for a spooktacular Halloween

Loving the Samuel Reinhard cd!

And yet he looked utterly ageless. The ‘99 look was my second favorite look of his after The Thin White Duke

Did I tell you about my experiments reading the lyrics from “La Isla Bonita” to a funky zippo? 🔥

Completely out of the blue and devastating. What a brilliant musician he was. And excellent call on “Strict Tempo”

Funny, I’m listening to “Random Angstrøm Fog” right now this rainy morning
October 20, 2025 at 1:25 PM
Never had it, my man. Not it nor any other streaming service subscription and never will. Stealing from artists - which is what streaming is - makes you a raging cunt. Although I worry about the long term health of Bandcamp due to the pale horse that bought them and fired most of their staff…

I have a short video from your performance that I should dig up and send you. You were screaming into a microphone all black metal like. And I recorded it on a “VHS Cam” app for extra black metal vibes. I also remember telling you re: turn it down - “would they dare ask Michael Gira that?”
October 19, 2025 at 3:10 PM
You had me at “Kate Bush”, although I’d love to see you perform again. Last time I saw you was 10 years ago in 2015 in Boston. You had us all lie on the floor so we could “feel” the music which was a great idea. Too bad the bellends next door asked you to turn it down before you even played a note
October 19, 2025 at 12:13 AM
Thank you kindly, sir. Luxuriating in it right now
