The Fall – Seminal Live https://freq.org.uk/reviews/the-fall-seminal-live/ @Hakarl: "Do we need Fall reissues" seems like the wrong question. We're getting them and they're going to be somewhere between glut and porcelain. Though it being #thefall you take the rough with the less rough. It's a wheat from the chuff review. #musicreview #rerelease
Keiji Haino and Reinhold Friedl – Truly, Slightly, Overflowing, Whereabout Of Good Will https://freq.org.uk/reviews/keiji-haino-and-reinhold-friedl-truly-slightly-overflowing-whereabout-of-good-will/ a darkly foreboding and quite a tough listen, but it’s oddly charming throughout. ... so far as musicianship goes it’s a grand exemplar of a certain trend in often-quiet texture-based #improvisation. #keijihaino is a terrifying vocalist so having a whole set where he can go off vocally is a treat. #avantgarde #musicreview Words: @Hakarl
It's odd being someone who has taken an interest in electronic, experimental and psychedelic music for over forty years, that whenever I see anything to do with Psychic TV, I'm pretty much: oh, just fuck off!

A wee thought on #ukpolitics

So let's assume that we agree that #yourparty is kind of a mess, and that #greens are looking healthier. I was thinking earlier that that's probably ok, insofar as we have YP as the sacrificial lamb to be pilloried in the press and the Greens look like the 'sensible' wing - a counterpart, perhaps, to the '00s-10s UKIP looking less messy than BNP and the like.

Warning: I do not advocate for optimism in UK politics, the above should not be taken as a reason to unclench.

Only a year ago. I've definitely listened to this too much #kpop #lesserafim

Tangentially I'm starting to worry about the end-of-year lists. So much this year.

Sometimes I record an album, and then I have no title and no idea about the cover, other times the cover comes first or the title.

I have nothing recorded for the next one yet, but this is the cover and title for the new album, because why wouldn't it be?

I was just reminded of Adam Cooley [RIP] and his profoundly ugly Scissor Shock project. Not entirely sure how to describe it - #noise very broadly but also a bit #musiqueConcrete ... and neither of those descriptions really do it justice. Ugly as shit, in a good way.

A very good article touching on an area close to my heart - #colonialism and #tuning systems, and the problem of #imperialism within (and without) #Arab #music.

Why should a painter or fashion designer favor the purest versions of colors rather than complex, blended colors?
