open.spotify.com/episode/4YP4... Ian Prowse released his album yesterday. We discussed Bobby Sands, sectarianism, the Poll Tax, getting arrested in Glasgow (him, not me), light pollution and banning an artist he now really likes. We might also have discussed music, I’m not sure.

When a bad person makes great music, we debate whether we should separate art from the artist? What if it’s a really good person making great music?

Both fantastic in their own right, it was so good to see Amelia Coburn and Katherine Priddy together for ‘Madeleine’ last night. The keys and violin also added some nice touches to the sound - a great show for an excellent album.

I'm no stranger to landing on the floor when I make it inside my flat, but this week something far more attractive made that descent — a new Spiritualized t-shirt. Ladytron, krautrock, and more in this week's Resonant Signals. - open.substack.com/pub/andyreil...

Oh Yeah is standing in your bedroom, heart pounding, replaying voice notes that don't say what you hope they will and still pressing play again. The sound of leaning forward, hoping to be caught. Big guitars, stscked harmonies, fast feelings. No pause button. Yours 11 Feb. 🖤
