Damn these tacos were good - blistered beans, feta, avocado, smoked tempeh with garlic with fresh tomato pico. With lashings of hot sauce.*
*Lazy Scientist jalapeno. Delicious!

First Record of The Weekend is the Fall with The Unutterable from 2000. Sometimes only the Fall will do. I've been listening to a lot of 'em recently - I've still got a few I haven't heard yet. Love this record.

I'm really hoping the forthcoming moon mission gets lots of coverage in the media. I have a hope that seeing it will inspire people to think more globally - in terms of humankind rather than nationality.
I want to see what todays technology can do to the coverage compared to the early missions.

My current feeling is that despite the pessimism and "broken Britain" rhetoric, the UK is gradually starting to mend after the Tories reign of destruction. Labour may be boring, but it is refreshing not to have childish morons in charge for a change. Don't believe the far right.

Stir fried broccoli, carrot and smoked tofu with toasted cashews, kimchi and rice. This was very tasty!

First Record of The Weekend is @oneohtrix.bsky.social (Oneohtrix Point Never) with Tranquilizer. I gave this a listen after reading a review in @electronicsound.bsky.social. Went to Record Corner to order it, only to find they already had it in stock - excellent! Indies only transparent edition too.

First Record of The Weekend is Pere Ubu's The Art of Walking from 1980. I sometimes wonder if this is my favourite Ubu album (it isn't, that's the Modern Dance). I love the everydayness of the lyrics that nonetheless add to the surreality of it all.
"Sad but true..."

First Record of The Weekend is Mother Give Your Children Sanity from Codex Serafini on @riotseasonrecords.bsky.social. This is a total blast - in places like some mutant child of Siouxsie & the Banshees and Hawkwind. Definitely a case to play VERY LOUD.

First Record of The Weekend is Mono Live in Tokyo with Orchestra Pitreza - Forever Home. This is massive in scale, gorgeous and awe-inspiring, like planets colliding. I can't stop listening to it. An absolutely splendid package too - a gold triple vinyl with double gatefold and booklet.

First Record of The Weekend is @thetubes.bsky.social with Remote Control from 1979. I nabbed this 2nd hand on spec because it is produced by @toddrundgren.bsky.social, and it turns out it sounds like a lost Utopia album! As I saw Todd live this week it seems appropriate...

First Record of The Weekend is the self-titled Nitro Cosmetic on the Cardinal Fuzz label, featuring the talents of Milo Smee and Demian Castellanos. For some reason this passed me by when I first got it, then I put it on the other day and it blew my head off. Fuzzy and fabulous!
