I made a shoegaze starter pack. I think the images on the front are generated by number of followers... This is a very imperfect list, I'll probably forget to update it, if you don't want to be on it let me know! go.bsky.app/MAoEsCe

What's this gingerly loping into view? Looks a bit like issue 3 to me.

An unfinished draft cover of issue 3 of my IN THE APRIL SUN fanzine.

I sat on her bench in Soho Square at times. She was a profoundly great songwriter. 🙏

The Thorn (formerly known as Large Plants). Featuring beautiful Sandy Denny style vocals (actually a duet) against folk stylings and a loping beat. Absolutely stunning track. thethorntheband.bandcamp.com/track/fountain

NP: The latest EP by Cloth. They sit in a good place between traditional rock and something ambient. The best gig I saw of theirs was in a church, with no crowd noise and with the silence of the space creating an extra instrument, glorious. cloth-music.bandcamp.com/album/low-su...

Listening now... there's a reason Cabaret Voltaire gigs sold out in record quick time. Music historians on an epic scale, they understand how yesterday is very much today. 🙏

Andrea @parramaterial.bsky.social · 1d

Seriously just waiting for gigs to go on, so into this band!

My uni library had most of the Anais Nin diaries, and I think I read them all... fascinating life.

When I first visited Australia (2009) I was taken by the absence of chain shops in high streets. All indie shops, creating a thriving ecosystem of small businesses. It's as important as natural ecosystems, and I hope people soon realise that corporations fully intend to kill us off for profit.

Next gig is this sneaky London showcase. Details in the link, great sounds from both bands. You never know who's going to turn up to a showcase, a few years ago I turned around at a gig and Christian Slowdive was trying to take a photo of the band around my hair. 🤭 www.gigantic.com/scoreboard-n...
