Time and time again, Public Enemy comes up as an influence across all my music connections, from all genres... 100% I have a clear memory of playing It Takes A Nation on my radio program in the 80s, and those raps like clear hot preaching from the wilderness, shivers even now thinking of it. 🙏

NP: the new Penelope Isles, it opens on an utterly beautiful lo fi quiet note, quickly moves onto a stomping grungy note, then back to a nostalgia tinged quiet contemplation. Wonderful album! penelopeisles.bandcamp.com/album/3

Botd 1948, Olivia Newton John, in 1970 pop-sci-fi curio 'Toomorrow', in which the titular band are abducted by aliens who require the vibrations from the music to save their race.

Lovely to catch @parramaterial.bsky.social on keyboards with Glisten Trick last night at WhereElse, Margate. Such a pity more people didn't venture out to witness their full-on guitar song assault on the senses. Absolutely worth a return to ...

NP: Neil Halstead's guitar is unmistakable on "Long Distance Lover" and the loping, atmospheric, sometimes big beat electronica continues throughout. Feat. Olive Kimoto (check out her KCRW programs) and Nick Houlton (long-time Big Potato Records collaborator). markvanhoen.bandcamp.com/album/spectral

Holy Wave, from Texas, are so under the radar but for the shoegaze inclined they deserve a look in. Combining motorik vibes and dreamy passages, they were a highlight for me at Manchester Psych Fest.

Great interview with Poison Ivy. "Nobody ever talks to me about music or guitar,” she once said. “I’m the queen of rock ’n’ roll, and for this not to be recognized is pure sexism.” Thanks to @bhtransmissions.bsky.social for the repost, as I've never read this. www.guitarworld.com/features/poi...
