Hello #cassunday friends 🎧

I've created a #cassunday feed for those of you who dig the Bluesky feeds. Hopefully this works.

Enjoy! ✇__✇

We need more rain here. Just the occasional pop-up storm late in the day but they're very isolated. Is it October yet?

Sean @seanmcg.bsky.social · Jul 14

Sounds like Charlotte. Right now it's 94° with a dew point of 72°. It "feels like" 112° right now and we won't hit today's peak until late afternoon.

Same here. Have you listened to Dregs? It's like an entire album influenced by "Inertia Creeps." The AU/NZ scene is so strong.

A Peel Dream Magazine day on #cassunday ✇__✇

Two cassettes by Peel Dream Magazine, Modern Meta Physic and Agitprop Alterna.

Sean @seanmcg.bsky.social · Jun 27

This one is remastered and it's so much clearer sounding than the version I had earlier.

Sean @seanmcg.bsky.social · Jun 27

According to the label's profile, Death is a Drummer is a "Fanclub label releasing unofficial vinyl editions of The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud releases." So I guess unofficial after all?

Sean @seanmcg.bsky.social · Jun 27

Oh it has? Yeah I thought it was official until I saw the "unofficial" listing on Discogs after I ordered it. Hm

Sean @seanmcg.bsky.social · Jun 27

I thought it was, but I'm not 100% sure. It certainly sounds much better than any previous version I've heard.

And I'm playing it again 🎸✨

Sean @seanmcg.bsky.social · Jun 23

This album grew on me in a big way this weekend. Repeated listens have revealed a lot more detail and it's just the kind of 'gazey fuzzy dreampop sound I adore.

Yes! It was the reissue news that turned me onto it. I've played it countless times so far this year.

I agree. This one of Tarkovsky standing on the set of Stalker is solid too.

Killer! That's a great shot. I'll be seeing them in Asheville on October 1. I'm really digging their remix album just released on Friday.
