Thank you, they’ve come out ok. Only a couple of very minor text mishaps (both involving umlauts, sadly).

The Leaf Library @theleaflibrary.bsky.social · 7d

Tapes are bloody here, aren’t they (will probably send them out slightly before the release date).

Thanks Andrea! There was a LOT of work that went into it, thanks to all our lovely remixers. We're very lucky to have them involved.

The Leaf Library @theleaflibrary.bsky.social · 7d

They were in the pub with us, talking about forming a supergroup.

The Leaf Library @theleaflibrary.bsky.social · 7d

Must have been out when that call came through.

Yep, bugs us. We try and group things that are relevant, but there’s no way of showing that.

It’s also worth reminding ourselves of how much of a prick he he was when asked to observe the BDS boycott years back.

November 20, 2017
Nick Cave has held a press conference in Israel, in which he explained he 'decided to play in Israel to stand up to 'anyone who tries to censor and silence musicians'. According to the NME: The musician explained that his change in attitude came about when Brian Eno asked him to a sign a list called Artists For Palestine three years ago. "On a very intuitive level, [!] did not want to sign it," he said. "There was something that stunk to me about that list."

"So after a lot of thought and consideration I rang up my people and said, 'We're doing an European tour and Israel' Because it suddenly became very important to me to make a stand against those people who are trying to shut down musicians, to bully musicians, to censor musicians, and to silence musicians. At the end of the day, there's maybe two reasons why I'm here. One is that I love Israel and I love Israeli people, and two is to make a principled stand against anyone who tries to censor and silence musicians.

Excellent band! Been mainlining their (very autumn-friendly) music here lately. Rideau was a big influence on our first one 10 (ten!) years ago. The ‘sound’ of it, at least.
