(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The whole point of art, what people *want* from it, is for it to be challenging in some way. Not that is has to be difficult to listen to or anything, but that it presents you with a worldview that is not quite your own. That’s the fun of it! 011

(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ok, maybe a stupid question, but why is the death rate in the UK and the USA not back to 2019 levels if ‘excess mortality’ is negative? 000

(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 20/07/2026This is totally wrong? The UK is up one place and Spain is up five places? No one has jumped anyone. And obviously this is before Andy announces new drilling at Rosebank and Jackdaw. 000

(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Warren is such a great, warm and enthusiastic host who obviously cares so much about the music he encourages - we in the scene are so lucky to have him. Thanks so much to Ian Hanham for his always-brilliant photos, and to Quen for making us and the birds sound so good. 130
(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 08/07/2026On a late spring evening a few weeks ago we had the privilege of recording an episode of the brilliant podcast Shed Sessions, surrounded by birdsong, friends and growing plants. We played five songs from Feelings Explorer I & II and talked Making Art, Sonny Rollins and Damo Suzuki. 160

(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I think it could be the beginnings long-term solution if we can expand it as hoped. The Causing A Scene group are hopefully going to talk about this, but really I want as many people to contribute as possible, I want it to be a community project. 110
(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I have made a little gig guide for Oxford and the surrounding area, in lieu of the @nightshiftmag.bsky.social (RIP) one. it's very simple atm but I'd love for more people to get involved and for us to expand it and maybe have some print copies one day oxfordgigguide.comoxfordgigguide.comOxford Gig Guide – A Gig Guide for Oxford 184

(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 12/05/2026It seems far-fetched I know, but there it was, in Oxford, Sunday night. 010
(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 12/05/2026And of course it often makes me tremble, moves me to tears, it’s the sublime, it’s Britten’s Sea Interludes, it’s Can’s Halleluwah, it’s Ornette Coleman’s The Shape Of Jazz To Come, it makes you want to dance and shout, it’s full of hope, despair, joy. youtu.be/NBcUdnJC4OIyoutu.beNumina OYouTube video by Deerhoof - Topic 100
(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 12/05/2026But also many moments of kindness, gentleness, whimsy. I was often punching the air, I guess trying to make myself big, triumphant, which is how their music feels like it wants you to be: compelling you to join in. It’s such a generous sound, even when it disturbs and terrifies. youtu.be/E2WvpzaA5y0youtu.beDeerhoof - Overrated Species Anyhow (Official Audio)YouTube video by Joyful Noise Recordings 100
(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Deerhoof remain extraordinary, always a revelation. This time I felt like I was watching Debussy free-composing La Mer in front of my ears (with loud drums and feedbacking guitars of course), or maybe The Who turned inside out, trying to rip a hole in the fabric of the universe. youtu.be/gnE7Ygvz3Vsyoutu.beDeerhoof - Damaged Eyes Squinting into the Beautiful Overhot Sun (Official Video)YouTube video by Joyful Noise Recordings 100

(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 03/04/2026That’s what punk is all about if you ask me - community, seeing everyone as artists, making creativity accessible, not putting music and music-making on a pedestal. you can listen to the whole show here (as walkways with tarps it starts with an excerpt of Coltrane): www.twfps.com/past-episode...twfps.comon-air guests lucy leave from oxford and cardiff, uk via discord - The Watt from Pedro Show 110
(the band) Lucy Leave @lucyleave.bsky.social · 03/04/20267: this is most mind-blowing one to me - the idea that Mike Watt could bring his creativity to bear on the way he arranges our songs amongst others in his show, that he treats us as peers in some way. 100
