REEL formed when three refugees from The Psychedelic Duelling Wars congealed in the psychic wreckage of a Somerset studio to record Wild Garlick electronics, eschatological ambience & brown acid techno on adapted bits of farm machinery & petrol cans

Made the mistake of messaging my teen child to put their food in the microwave for 6 or 7 minutes. If you know you know.

Yeah Joy Division, Pere Ubu, Throbbing Gristle, The Pop Group etc etc but the REAL underground sound ushering in the dayglo 80s was Where’s Captain Kirk? by Spizz Energi & you KNOW it

Saw it way too early and it proved… formative

The goal of every guitarist is to become so good that the listener enjoys their solos more than they do.

I always think of it as a personal affront - how could I, erstwhile connoisseur of all things weird and wonderful and obscure, not have heard of this? IMPOSSIBLE! And then get really excited at another rabbit hole to go down. There’s always new (and old) great things. Humans are sometimes wonderful

I can never understand why some people view "Never heard of it!" as a withering insult. Loads of things virtually nobody has ever heard of are brilliant. Not all things virtually everybody has heard of are total dogshit, but my empirical research has demonstrated to me that a vast number are.

I really love this Burgess book - found lots of authors in here - so it’s quite exciting that there’s a podcast about it

Also, Wikipedia does a pretty good job for a lot of books, if you really don’t have time to read the book or you wanted to check something you’ve forgotten from one you have. The slow accumulation and unfolding of a book IS the activity… this is taking a (probably red) pill instead of eating a meal

I love The Cure.

I love the English lyrics, fit the dream-like derangement quite well… if a little sinister

I think he’s deadly serious - but probably only as serious as The Hafler Trio
