Rinoa — Memory

Hardcore Weekend! And I’m starting it with a for me new band too. Mina from Twitter recommended and as I’m a bit stuck in hardcore from the dusty halls of a Christmas past this was great. Need to find more new music.

Hüsker Dü — Don’t Want To Know If You Are Lonely

I need more Hüsker Dü vinyls. I need all of them! (Only have Warehouse at this time.) My birthday is in August sop you lot have some time to get it for me. Other things on the list are world peace, goodwill towards mankind, love, and cookies.

On the cosmology episode of the Infinite Monkey Cage they had this guest — apart from Alan Moore, Dallas Campbell and Professor Ed Copeland — who sang a song. It was such a wonderful one that I needed to hunt down and then post. Turns out Helen Arney has The Sun has Got His Huff On as a free download on her bandcamp. 

You treat me insignificantly
Name a tabloid after me
Synonymous with paparazzi
Just a backdrop for Brian Cox on TV 

The podcast is described as this by the Beeb: “Witty, irreverent look at the world according to science with physicist Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince.” All true!

(The GEEK SONGS tag lives!)

Laura Veirs — Galaxies.

I lay down on the couch and shut my eyes to this. And then for some reason my brain though I was high up in a skyscraper or a balcony or a really really tall chair because I got that height dizziness and almost fell out of the couch. Exciting!

The Soft Boys — I Wanna Destroy You

It’s a Robyn Hitchcock night.

John K. Samson — When I Write My Master’s Thesis.

On month exactly until John K Samson’s solo album comes out.

Since I though about calling this illustration “Sally Timms in Space,” I thought it’d be best to post it with a Sally tune as well (“Best Intentions”). That’s how I roll.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fish-Men.

And with this jolly tune I bid you goodnight and sweet dreams with the smell of salmon.

Since not everyone understands Swedish — this is a design flaw of unmeasurable magnitudes — here’s another new Hardcore Troubadours song. This time an original called Sin City Serenade and in English. 

The friends to whom I drew that album cover a few weeks ago have now been in and recorded things. This is an Ebba Grön cover which is never a bad thing.

Kate Bush - “Misty” (by antirecords)

Sadly the video is a short radio edit — which in this case means it’s about ten  minutes shorter than on the album.

Theoretical Girl doing a cover on The Fine Arts Showcase’s Heaven To Me. In a way it might have been a mistake to listen to this, in other ways it wasn’t.
