Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Record of the day is the 4x4 compilation on Up Records from (I think) 1995/6. Four tracks each by Appendix Out, Tunic, Kilgore Trout and Brewster, and showcasing Alasdair Roberts at his most indie rock. A true fan favourite (for this fan) 271
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Here’s me thinking that’s a bit harsh as I pull into the mall where Paul Blart Mall Cop was filmed 010
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 11/03/2025@wolfmanramirez.bsky.social deep in the heart of Boston’s Chinatown… 110
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 27/01/2025I never thought my 2nd Grade kid would be bringing notices like this home from school. That said, I’m incredibly grateful the city are proactively reaching out to support vulnerable families. 080
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 25/01/2025We’ve taken in a visitor who’s trying to decide if this will be their forever-home. It’s bitey with surprising attack but we’re bonding… 1100
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Album of the year 2024 This album landed in my life in December and totally disrupted my album of the year plans. Ugandan lukeme player Ekuka Morris Sirikiti’s first studio album on Nyege Nyege Tapes is crucial stuff. It’s simultaneously urgent and hypnotic, and utterly, utterly beautiful. Link👇 251
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Imagine a world where Wings Over Scotland focused on fried chicken instead of transphobia 161
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Diving deep into Bleed by The Necks. This is some pretty sublime ambience, picked up on the back of some ace recommendations. I’m on my 3rd spin and don’t see this leaving my turntable today. (Rare January treat of it being so light out that I can’t photograph the sleeve without mad reflections!) 040
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Worlds of Possibility. Soundtracking my Wednesday with @thepastels.bsky.social’ Mobile Safari. UK Domino version with bonus 7” and US Up version with alternative album art because I’m a goof. 1151
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 07/01/2025RIP Ed Askew. It was a real privilege to see him play at the Glad Cafe in Glasgow a decade or so ago. He and the Snock are the two greats of weird American folk. Transcendent stuff. 010
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 06/01/2025Songs: Ohia - Protection Spells. So great to revisit this old friend, having been given some long-overdue vinyl treatment. A mightily impressive collection of single-take improvised songs, as haunting, jarring and intense as anything else Molina has penned. Crucial stuff 010
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Plugging this Spare Snare record for anyone embarking on a nostalgia-trip through the fringes of Dundee’s revered indie rock scene circa 1995 030
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Havens was a strong Album of the Year contender last year amongst a strong set. I’m not relegate this from the top of my spinning pile just yet. I managed to catch Alan Licht both solo and with Love Child at the tail end of last year. Run On reunion for 2025 please 030
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Friday evening soundtracked by Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru. (Record #3 of 2025) 040
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Records of 2025, #1 & #2: #1 is David Grubbs & Taku Unami’s collaboration on Empty Editions. Spellbinding pieces of electric guitar wizardry in the classic Grubbs style. #2 is the criminally overlooked “lost” Velvet Underground lp. You know it already of course. Dug out the crates for Stephanie Says 050
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 02/01/2025Trade you for some records. Hope your and E are having a cool Yule! 110
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 18/11/2024The sublime sounds of Ellen Arkbro easing me into the week 000
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Not that I necessarily need these songs on yet another format, but this new collection of stone cold classics on Vampire Blues has been a welcome trip through most of the best and none of the worst of Louis Barlow’s Acoustic Sentridoh 110
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 17/11/2024I caught the Louder Than You Think movie this weekend. A touching tribute to the mighty Gary Young and Pavement at their most powerful. When I were a lad, etc… #recordoftheday 051
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 21/09/2023Nothing to worry about here whatsoever at all. What’s that? It’s technology owned and operated by Amazon? Totally fine. 020
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 19/08/2023Nevertheless, mission accomplished! Amateur hour layout, but does exactly it says on the tin. 040
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 19/08/2023Putting together a pedalboard for the first time since the epic move, and it seems the stuff-losing company have misplaced my box of patch cables. On the plus side I found a box of Nashville tuning strings, so that’s a win, right? 160
