We're happy when it rains too. Thanks to Jim Reid for including Slow Summits in his Baker's Dozen, it means a lot. The Quietus TheMaryChain thequietus.com/interviews/bak…

"I just had such a visceral connection to it..." Big thank you to JR Moores for the interview, which was a lot of fun. I think this piece captures a good snapshot of the thinking behind Night School. Read the full @bandcamp piece here: buff.ly/3YBPtzN

"This record feels like where The Pastels were moving towards for a while. By this record they had kind of got into a groove. [They] really should have been huge." Jim Reid of TheMaryChain on the pastels - Slow Summits buff.ly/4fbYIMa

All eyes on camera. Pastels / geographic music crew, Prestwick Airport a while back.

Sending our warmest salute to the great Rise Kagona of The Bhundu Boys. He played our Record Store Day in 2019 bringing so much joy and energy to the room. Very proud that Rise came to Scotland in the 1980s - and stayed. youtube.com/watch?v=zhUeXA…

Music to always come back to. Perfect in autumn, perfect in winter. Amazing catalogue of work. One of the greats, no doubt.

Rest in peace, Paul Morrissey. I bought this VHS tape at WH Smith where I worked in 1991 and I tried to work with four of his actors, but only got lucky with Holly Woodlawn. His Flesh/Trash/Heat trilogy along with his Dracula/Frankenstein films were my salvation from suburbia.

So good to hear Radhika on Gideon Coe / BBC Radio 6 Music. The Dade Dynasty spans the ages. radhika.bandcamp.com/track/future-me

Trump’s win has handed US democracy to Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and a cast of oligarchs, plutocrats and vested interests. Britain is not immune from the same dark forces. New by me on Democracy for Sale: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/a-huge-victo…

What to expect.
