Psychic Youth - The Future Now. I know nothing about them, except they’re from Long Island and they have nothing to do with Genesis P. Orridge. But this lone 7” from 1982 is pretty great.

Any Connecticut peeps on here? It would be awesome if they passed the bill to label GMO foods in our state.

France Gall - Il Neige. This was played before Saint Etienne’s xmas shows in 2003, took me 8 years to find out France Gall sang it. I can’t really find any other info about the song except that it seemed to be for a New Year’s Eve program called “Réveillon” in 1966

Smoke Of Certain Afternoons. Written and played by Rob Britton & Aug Stone. ©2012. Free download.

Title comes from ‘Gravity’s Rainbow’ by Thomas Pynchon, p. 114. “Mrs. Quoad’s is up three dark flights, with the dome of faraway St. Paul’s out its kitchen window visible in the smoke of certain afternoons, and the lady herself tiny in a rose plush chair in the sitting-room by the wireless, listening to Primo Scala’s Accordion Band.”

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

Yesterday I was driving home and nearly lost control of the car as my mind wandered into considering what if The Wolfgang Press reunited in 2013 and I hit some ice on the road. I’ve never been big on reunion shows but Chains (from Funky Little Demons) had just come on an old mix cd I had found. Such beautiful Pop. A perfect summer evening song, when the twilight is descending and the shadows come alive with magic.

“With all the carnage from gun violence in our country, it’s still almost impossible to believe that a mass shooting in a kindergarten class could happen. It has come to that. Not even kindergarteners learning their A,B,Cs are safe. We heard after Columbine that it was too soon to…

My Quietus interview with Saint Etienne. I really enjoyed this, talking the particulars of Pop - favourite record titles, those little bits of songs that really grab you, what makes Pop so wonderful.

JoArling, Cameron, & Swarte’s Fun Shopping from their Sound Shopping album. Lovely, Shibuya-kei-esque. I did an interview with Joost Swarte recently and found it very interesting. A huge music fan and one of the nicest people I’ve ever spoken to.
