idk, he did say by the end of it that he felt he'd been brainwashed by the media when he was trying to change the mind of the other racist truck driver tho.

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 14h

The TV show made him not racist by the end of the series 🤷

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 14h

In the TV show he overcame his racism though!

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Yeah really beautiful stuff. I have a release coming out on Flaming Pines too, which I’m pleased about.

What’s that from?

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 1d

Huh it didn't even occur to me you could do that

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 1d

Cool!

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 1d

Ah cool, I need to see her.

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 1d

Always found it odd he didn't do any solo stuff. He was sort of perceived as their Bernard Butler/Johnny Marr.

Blue Tapes @bluetapes.bsky.social · 1d

I really like Gwenifer Raymond's guitar tone.

Not sure if it's the playing, the guitar, or the way her latest LP is mixed*, but it sort of feels like your head is in the soundhole and these giant strings are being thrashed about your skull.

*Probably all 3.
