Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 19/04/2025In case anyone is grappling with why the trans community’s voices need to be amplified, or why the BLM movement is so important, the children’s book Fair Shares by Pippa Goodhart was instrumental in teaching my kid about equity.

Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 24/03/2025It’s great! The Tunic songs are killer too. No letter for me unfortunately, and annoyingly I’ve lost the liner notes, which if I remember rightly were a small booklet, but it’s such a treat to listen to these songs again. 010
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 · 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 · 25/01/2025Sitting in a car park listening to a super heartwarming story on This American Life with tears streaming down my face. Humanity isn’t completely fucked, y’know. 010
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Correct but somebody’s at least buying the CD in the first place so the artist is making some sort of royalty from that product compared to the negligible return through major streaming services. 010
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Both killer eps. Halfway to a Threeway gets a lot of airtime in this house and it’s nice to be reminded of how great the All Most Heaven 12” is. See also the Marquis de Tren & Bonnie Billy 12” which came out around the same time. 110
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Just overheard a guy in a coffee shop describe himself as a license plate aficionado. I didn’t stick around long enough to hear what he meant but it sure got me wondering 040

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 · 16/01/2025Haha - I don’t think I have that but it sounds like exactly the sort of thing I would have. I live near Byron Coley’s record store these days which has killer VT vibes but it just ain’t the same… 010
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Mad Nanna, yes!! VT opened the door to so much antipodean weirdness. I’m gutted I missed the show (I can’t even remember why I missed it) but the record rules! What was your pre-Kanues vehicle? Very likely I have that CD-R 110
Lo-Fi Bri @brianmck.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Yeah it was the greatest. I remember hovering over my inbox on Sunday for the mail shot to go out and then spending hours in store chatting and listening to mind-melting music. It was the greatest. 110

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 · 07/01/2025Good news for you! Numero (who else?) released a career-spanning Tsunami box set last year.

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
