REEL formed when three refugees from The Psychedelic Duelling Wars congealed in the psychic wreckage of a Somerset studio to record Wild Garlick electronica on adapted bits of farm machinery, petrol cans & sine wave generators psych-duelling.uk

Back reading Dostoyevsky again (Demons, this time) & insisting on referring to everyone I know by their full name. 💙📚

Yes, excited for that one… Swans have really been hitting the spot, recently… really isn’t anything like them

Raging against the dying of the LPs by finding time to play Swans albums right the way through (on CD). Today it has been Birthing, played loud & soundtracking chores, sitting, dancing, more chores, cooking, cleaning and finally just listening with my eyes closed.
The album sleeve is a Coil - Time Machines -esque mysterious black circle or abyss on pale brown / cardboard.

I am not joking when I say this. Soylent Green is now very, very good and these soulless dorks need to (literally) get into it.

Well, wouldn’t say it was life changing because me & most of my mates loved Orbital & had seen them before but it certainly changed Glastonbury Festival for everyone…
The CD of Orbital live at Glastonbury 1994.

Yesterday was a photographing shipping containers through a rainy windscreen kind of day.
A yellow and green shipping container looking mysterious in some trees. I get the feeling they contain something sinister.

I’ve often dreamed that they have the same number of letters in the names one to ten eg 1 = a 2 = at 3 = ate 4 = atep 5 = atepe etc - but even its dream logic disappears in a shitstorm of idiocy.

Have been recently listening to that Aphrodite’s Child record for the first time in decades. It’s a lot stranger than I remembered. As a child I think I grouped it with the War of the Worlds record and that awful Rick Wakeman one about the Knights of the Round Table (which I liked at the time)

A few days ago a mate couldn’t remember a song and said simply “I think Andrew Weatherall did a remix of it” - Mm, not as helpful as you might think…

Saw someone write that The Fall was their favourite band but they weren’t entirely sure they liked their music - I don’t (quite) agree but it’s definitely adjacent to the reason I miss them being around.

Spent a great deal of the day listening to Swans while doing household tasks, writing and cooking. They sure make even the most menial & quotidian tasks shimmer with intensity.

Rewatching Our Friends In The North on iPlayer & enjoying almost as much as when it first cake out, even if I’d forgotten / repressed the influence on my young self of the unbelievably hot Gina McKee, especially when she gets into politics…
A fair-skinned, dark-haired woman smiling faintly at the camera with a look that suggests she’d let her soul leave her body for some actually existing socialism & some Mad Men cocktails

Bought this book years ago & then got drunk and left it in the pub after only reading Chapter 1 but now have it on audiobook & it’s a great deal of mordant fun, almost ridiculously relatable, and read beautifully by @jahduran.bsky.social himself. www.strangeattractor.co.uk/catalogue/jo...

Performative reading update: more people talk to you if reading books with colourful covers than books with dark ones. Small sample but seems significant. Tried some performative reading in Hay on Wye but competition there was hard. Stag Dance probably not best option.

Yeah, thinking of making that a daily random list of research / field work / sampling things - the literature section should throw up 2 ‘random’ influences each day…

Okay, I’m sure “times were different” or whatever, but whenever *I* don’t come home on time because I’m hanging out & taking drugs & having sex with a beautiful nymph on a remote island *my* wife gets well annoyed…

Bought a lot of books this Summer on my travels. Not sure which one I should read next. Narrowed it down to these. Might leave the massive Meades one for the winter since it hardly fits in my bag…

They probably watched Peaky Blinders & thought they could pull anachronistic music off, too. But it’s a very fine line.
