Danny Thompson (1939-2025) 🌹

THE bass of British folk.

Favourite habit while watching black&white movies: point at the person who look like they could be one of my grandparents and check their IMDb to see if they’re younger than me (spoiler alert: they often are). Thanks for showing Trevor Howard at my exact age and apparently ready for a senior cruise.

Okay, alright, September is fine. But October…

October is the month of witches. And this witch, born in October, is writing the cover story for the October issue of Shindig.

September may win at songs (Big Star, etc) but October’s ambience is unmatched.

It just doesn’t feel right, summer returning with Brian Wilson gone.

Love and mercy, indeed, to all of us stranded here with the tyrants, the mass murderers and the indifferent, without Brian and without Sly.

How does one even try to put into words what he was, what he did and what he meant, the waves he put into motion.

Brian Wilson brought so much harmony to a cacophonous world. The music was all in his head. It’s everywhere now, but today you can’t help but notice how the sunshine dims.

The new issue of Shindig is out now, featuring my Stereolab cover story.

Thanks to Sean O'Hagan and Morgane Lhote for helping me trace the roots of the Groop and to Laetitia Sadier and Tim Gane for guiding me through Stereolab’s splendid new album.

Highly recommended to fans of: unconventional rockstars, true freaks and unlikely heroes, drums, puppets, square foot gardening, headstands, booze and acid-fuelled (mis)adventures, 80s punk and 90s indie. And, duh, Pavement.

Camilla Aisa @camillaaisa.bsky.social · May 20

Just got my copy of Louder Than You Think: a Lo-fi History of Gary Young & Pavement on exquisitely packaged Blu-Ray.
Inside, one of the best music docs in recent years plus a whole lot of extras including me in conversation with two gents who made some of my favourite music.

Whoo-hoo - the new issue of Shindig is out now!
(Sorry, I still *don’t get* The Who and felt like I should distract you and me both with a very simple-minded pun)

Anyhoo. I interview Cosmic Crooner, who has just released the ultimate summer record (fittingly titled European Vacation).

The lush Blu-ray edition of Louder Than You Think is now available to purchase. One of the coolest music docs of the past few years, plenty of bonus material plus yours truly in conversation with Pavement’s very own Scott Kannberg and Mark Ibold.
Honoured to be involved!

The new issue of Shindig is out now!
I’m in the legendary Maida Vale studios, next to Delia Derbyshire’s favourite lampshade, talking to Mark Ayres about a new collaboration between BBC Studios and Spitfire Audio (BBC Radiophonic Workshop archives available now for the first time to sample)
