About to go see the mighty Stereolab, one of my faves for over 30 years and more relevant than ever. Just discovered a culturally eclectic good friend was not hip to them, so of course sent them straight to @fluxblog.bsky.social 's crucial overview! open.substack.com/pub/fluxblog...

Fluxblog 537: all Stereolab edition

A few days ago Stereolab released Instant Holograms on Metal Film, their first album of new material in 15 years.

yeah they're in total denial about how big BB is, he's been solidly one of the top 5 most streamed artists in the US for several years now - they alienate a lot of normal people getting so mad about this

There should be way more comics about adults doing adult things. Most people are adults.

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

yeah it feels like a record that has largely been stuck in a trap of mostly being of interest to Mojo writers who'd hate it

Matthew Perpetua @fluxblog.bsky.social · 3d

the biggest revelation to me in making this one is that the James album Wah Wah which Eno produced and co-wrote is really cool and deserves waaaaaay more attention, I feel like it'd be very inspiring to young musicians in particular
