  1. I get that, especially with the DJing angle. I had to fight a long battle with my inclination to collect. While it's manageable now, music and books still dominate my life. I did long stints in indie book and record stores years ago, that was not good for my pocket, though some of my fondest days working. Living with the reality that the right amount of records to own is n+1.
  2. Grealish to City for 100m, and Kane trying to force a move there too. Crazy monies.
  3. Do you have a link? This amount would drive me crazy. I want mine down to 20/30, and then they are off the list if not purchased in a month or so.
  4. Frame is such a good album, very much enjoyed this re-issue. I'd like an Optimal.lp repress at some point, even if just a CD.
  5. I feel a little better about the size of my list now. Only a few things today
  6. I was listening to Symbol last week, haven't listened to it in a very long time. I do need to listen to more of his work, not familiar with the Ebi alias.
  7. This is a nice little artefact, glad I picked up a copy.
  8. Yeah, poor video. Reminiscent of the insightful 'analysis' in Netflix's The Social Dilemma.
  9. Dante's Peak This raises some worrying questions.
  10. Aye. Even with all tourists, the Louvre is worth a visit. Maybe with COVID restrictions/tourist numbers, you'll have a bit more space and time with some of the key attractions? Sacre Coeur is beautiful, even if only chilling with the view, it's just nice to hang out up there when the weather permits. Food. Even if it's just finding a good bakery, and getting yourself a baguette and taking a stroll... the bakeries are to die for. Food. Paris is relatively small, I think it's a good city for strolling, and soaking up the ambience.
  11. There's good stuff in general on Farbwechsel, ambient leaning stuff, techno and more. All a little bit wonky. Some of the earlier releases on Lobster Theremin would probably scratch that itch for you too.
  12. I really like Jordi Savall's work for both Colombe and Marais., Savall runs a great label too. This Marais piece was in Tous les Matins du Monde, great film.
  13. Really enjoying this. Picked up a copy of the split he did with Francisco Lopez, I'll be digging into the other albums for sure.
  14. Never heard of Halsey before. First clip sounded 'interesting', will check out because of the Trent/Atticus production. Intriguing. However, her vocal style is way too generic, and grating, for my ears.
  15. I'm not familiar Novi_sad, but today sees the release of his first album for Raster. Already loving this. Field recordings intermingle with diaphanous tones, sometimes punctuated by moments of noise. Oceania starts off the album with processed field recordings, soon delivers a gut punch, before the relaxing again. One of those tracks that will give you a jolt if you've got your music on shuffle. I've been very impressed with the direction Raster has taken since the dissolution of Raster-Noton.
  16. Second album from Anika dropped last week. I only came across her work a few months back when I picked up the Exploded View albums. Beak> produced her first album, which has a Broadcast flavour. This has strong Nico vibes like all of her work, and some parallels with Carla Dal Forno.
  17. That's a lot of Kickstarters backed. Man, Car Wars is a blast from the past. All I can remember was that it took ages to set up, and when I tried to take a corner, my car crashed and exploded. Started playing Vampire The Eternal Struggle card game, managed a few sessions over the last few months. I've never played Paranoia, most of my group have played it and they speak highly of it. I tend to play a lot of indie RPGs - usually PbtA based - though any system that is more narrative/character focused will usually get my attention. Running a game this evening, first time GMing in quite a while, though I do prefer it to being a player.
  18. Coming this September via Keplar https://shuttle358.bandcamp.com/album/chessa-2021-remaster
  19. I'd agree with that, I'd add the Water People single too. Paradise Valley , Headache is probably my favourite track from her catalogue. She Loves Me That Way is a close second from A I A : Alien Observer. Some tracks are just on the verging of being crushing, but it never takes me the fully. Does make me want to pack my bags and go a walking.
  20. New Grouper album on the way this October. Just one preview track up at the moment. I've been listening to Grouper a lot recently, A I A : Alien Observer and Ruins in particular, so this news is a welcome.
