Here is the third single called ‘No Green Light’ from our upcoming album ‘New Shiny Object’. More A23 than Autobahn, more Ginsters than Schnitzel, more Umbro than Adidas, I’m guessing if you like Fujiya & Miyagi, you’re probably going to like this. Es ist gut, ja? youtu.be/OtEGnTr6P3w

Honestly, it’s a beautiful show. I saw it in London a few days ago and now love ITAOTS even more than I did

This is such an extraordinary piece of work. Seeing @apartment-house.bsky.social perform it at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social years ago was one of those occasions where it felt like an honour to be in the audience

Early Stereolab song: Millions die all the time Because you buy things But it’s OK inevitably Because there will be revolution Ba ba ba ba aah aah Late Stereolab song: You are me, progress is love Whose inner beauty we explore with calm reflection The revolution is inside you

If you have a physical music collection, just go fishing through it once in a while. Have a big ol' rummage, get all your CDs, tapes, vinyl, whatever, out on the floor and just look through em. Bang a few on, read some liner notes, it's just magic, honestly.

Warren Hatter revels in the long overdue reissue of a "perfectly formed" 1976 album of dystopian French electronica, which should now be heard by a much bigger audience than it was 50 years ago Reissue of the Week: Mar-Vista’s Visions Of Sodal Ye @bornbadrecords.bsky.social buff.ly/omeTpq7
Mar-Vista’s Visions Of Sodal Ye album cover. Light gold/beige border with an illustration in blue and black of a woman with a whip standing before a large head which has been broken at the top as though the skull were the shell of a boiled egg.

Not sure how @luketurner.bsky.social and @jahduran.bsky.social will feel about EasyJet keeping the ploughman’s dream alive but with crackers not bread
EasyJet inflight magazine offering a Ploughman’s snack box. Bland-looking photo with appetising description (“Rich, creamy cheeses, sharp pickles and the crispiest of crackers. Just call us cheesyJet”)

I agree, though I guess there’s something hubristic about both … though neither to the extent of the Daddy Longlegs, the tracks of which we can still see at Black Rock at the lowest tides.

Thanks for this, which I don’t feel has been said out loud much in England. One thought: yes, World Cup success might help us reclaim the flag from the far right (again), but it’ll be harder without Southgate’s narration.

That’s how it seemed. @sussexpolice.bsky.social say they were “facilitating peaceful protest” but how we experienced it was as you describe: police aggressively trying to make space for violent thugs to threaten our communities. Very disappointing.

Sad to learn that Areski died today. I only know his work through Brigitte - one collaboration that I’ve taken to is this song, superficially light but (I think) a conversation between two people hurtling to their deaths youtu.be/WcNWgDLBNVc
