More Or Less is always such an interesting show and this week's even featured a cool wee discussion on why quiet tracks were placed at the end of sides on vinyl LPs. Worth a whirl - it's at 20:37 😋 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"Minat Soul", the recent Tenniscoats/Tape collaboration is a total dream! I love that a Japanese group and a Swedish group combined to produce this gorgeous piece of French-sounding music: 7eptokyo.bandcamp.com/track/theres...

Unexpectedly, Larmousse's sole cd album (City Slang, 2000) is on the 🎧 right now. Cool Scottish post-rockin' slowcore. David Gow from the group went on to the rollicking Sons and Daughters but Larmousse were a far more sedate affair 😎 youtu.be/urqzuxU4Gas?...

How the Scottish weather has responded to Glas-Goes Pop! being over for another year 😣 To be honest, that doesn't convey the half of how unspeakably miserable it is!

Amid all the Glas-Goes Pop! joy, I was so sad to hear that Linda Smith's friend/ collaborator Nancy Andrews had passed away. I only met her twice but really enjoyed her company.
