Well you were right there. I loved part 14, lots of information coming at us in that hour.

An all time favourite, great track.

However bad things look for Ed, they look a lot worse for Sarah Palmer. Her scenes have been pretty bleak so far.

Got a ticket. Now I need to book transport and accommodation in Liverpool next month.

mkb

Going to see what my financial situation is like, but I think I'll have to try and get a ticket. This isn't the type of event that comes along very often.

mkb

I felt like part 10 was just picking up a lot of the threads that had been introduced earlier in the season, but left for a few episodes. This show is probably the least predictable thing on TV, but it seems to me that, now we're in the second half of the series, these are largely what we'll be movi...

This is a good example of the Amazing Grace/You Lie You Cheat intro:

This episode reminded me more of the original than any of the previous episodes. I agree with that. I suppose after part 8 it was a good idea to return to the main events and get the plot moving along again. The scenes with Bobby and the message from his father were really great, and both the Twin ...

So it wasn't a boxset in the end, but the Purple Rain reissue is fantastic. The remaster sounds incredible (and was badly needed for that album), the vault disc sounds like a lost album from between 1999 and Purple Rain, the single and b-side edits disc is good to have (even though I already had mos...

mkb

Part 8 wasn't just the best episode yet of the new series, it's one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen. Absolute brilliance.

mkb

Glad to hear it was a good night, I'll be seeing him in Glasgow in a few months.

Have seen him many times before (solo, with the bad seeds and with grinderman), and he's always reliably brilliant. One of the most consistent and fantastic artists to have worked over the past 30 years or so.

mkb

I've seen parts 1 & 2 so far. Absolutely incredible television. I'm really glad they've not just tried to recapture the original 25 years later, but they've pushed it somewhere new. To have 18 hours of Lynch-directed material is wonderful, especially when it seemed a few years ago that we'd neve...

I like that when Jason and Farrow were interviewed together and Jason was asked to name his favorite cover, and if I recall correctly he chose Pure Phase. That's from this interview: https://www.creativereview.co.uk/spiritualized-and-farrow-made-for-each-other/ I really like the work with Farrow, e...

Do you have a source or link for that article? It doesn't seem to state what people have been convicted of (and I'd be interested to read more) - the fact that the author is someone using the alias "Tyler Durden" doesn't inspire confidence.

mkb

I'm not nailing my flag to the pole saying what is done is 100% right, honest and just. Nor am I saying it's diabolical, treacherous and a savage invasion of human rights and values. I'm saying that it appears sensible. Like breathing space. I'm of the opinion that this action could only appear sen...

Is the short term ban (or suspension) of people's who are nationals of or have visited recently countries that are associated with terrorism not an example of a receiving country trying to get it right? I'd say that this is based on a false premise though - that refugees currently arrive at the doo...

A truly great actor, RIP.

Donald Trump's relationship with the truth is non-existent, as he has shown time and time again throughout his recent political career and long beforehand. As far as I can tell, he merely says whatever he thinks will go down best with those in front of him at the time (e.g. his recent tweet criticis...

That library of mu link is really interesting, thanks.

It was a b-side to Rano Pano (and appears on the Central Belters compilation).

Actually, I've just looked out my book about the K Foundation burning the million pounds, because I remembered that they'd signed a contract agreeing to terminate the K Foundation for a period of 23 years, during which they wouldn't discuss that act. While the timing of this "comeback" obv...

http://k2planthireltd.com The new work is being made public on 23rd August 2017, 23 years to the day since they (as the K Foundation)burned £1million cash on the Isle of Jura. I love the KLF, and have followed Bill Drummond's activities over the last few years (I'm less familiar with Cauty's work) -...

Such a shame to go so young. I only knew the more famous songs of his, but was always impressed by his efforts to evolve as an artist - really it was his personality that was endearing though, the good humour and defiance he had when dealing with the repulsive media and the hostility he faced regard...

A Purple Rain reissue was just announced, along with another best of, which will be followed by an album of unreleased material. Not a box set, but we were talking about Purple Rain earlier: http://pitchfork.com/news/69180-prince-purple-rain-reissue-greatest-hits-album-announced/ Looking forward to...

mkb

I keep coming back to this album. I think it's their best by some distance - they've never made an album this cohesive or consistent before, it's brilliant from the first track onwards.

mkb

My copy arrived at the weekend. It's absolutely fantastic, the format/theme of these mixes suits Holmes perfectly.

mkb

Rumours that the long-awaited Purple Rain reissue will see the light of day next year, seems a safe bet that there will be a box set version there. I'd shell out for a box set reissue of any of Prince's 80s albums - if done properly, the additional content could be incredible (e.g. my wishlist for t...

Is the vinyl reasonably priced on Discogs or Fleabay, or has it turned into one of those rare and expensive RSD items? The Primal Scream online store has the 12" available: http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/chaosmosis The vinyl details the personnel involved, but I don't have it to hand to c...

It's a hell of a lot better than the first single, good to hear Reni back to the forefront of the sound.

mkb

Neil Young was on at half 8 on Sunday night. Great gig.

mkb

Well that was awful, and I quite like Second Coming. Horrible guitar riff, and what sounded like a completely half-arsed lyric.

Maybe it'll grow on me if I hear a better quality version, couldn't really hear what Mani was doing there.

mkb

It's about to be played on Radio 1

mkb

Awful news. He was the best I've ever seen or heard.

mkb

Couple of tracks from this played on the most recent Optimo radio show (which can be listened to here: https://m.soundcloud.com/twitch/optimo- ... s-02052016).

Sounding really good.

mkb

Yeah, it's great. Initially I felt it was perhaps too indebted to those classic girl groups and a bit too retro, but as you say, there's a lot more going on in there.

Holmes is someone who rarely puts a foot wrong.

Not for record store day releases.

Yeah, the kesha situation is disturbingly fucked up.

2016 has got off to a good start from Weatherall - he's made an album with Nina Walsh as the Woodleigh Research Facility, out now:

Can't listen at work, will put it on later. I'm interested to hear this, the Sky Ferreira album from a couple of years back was great.

mkb

I'm no fan of U2/Foo Fighters, but I think it's unfair to criticise them here for cancelling - firstly, I'd imagine a large number of parisians don't fancy going to a gig at this time, and if it wasn't cancelled they'd have lost the price of the ticket (probably considerably expensive). Secondly, wh...

mkb

I've got a copy, it's a really nice package (I got the 6-vinyl edition). If you are new to Mogwai or are just a casual fan then the first two cds (or 4 LPs) are a good overview of the albums - there are always going to be minor tracklist issues, but I think it's a good selection in total. Cd 3 (LPs ...

mkb

Terrible news, can't imagine how awful that must be.

mkb

Shine a light -> Electric Mainline -> She Kissed Me was a great run, but yeah, Oh Baby -> Rated X killed that momentum.

Kanye coverage will start slightly later than live on BBC 2, I'm just going to record that and watch it after Spiritualized. Hopefully see the Mothership set as well somehow, possibly on the iplayer later.

The Dr wrote:the charlatans bottom of the other stage? wtf?

That slot is usually a "secret" band who play early on the Friday to properly open the festival, it's quite a high profile position on the bill. Blondie did it last year I think.

mkb

If she was so apparently shocked and affected, how come she was just fine when it came to filing copy that would inevitably raise her own profile? I suggest the answer is that at the end of the day she knows which side her proverbial bread is buttered. If it was so traumatic, how come she could bea...

Andrew Weatherall - A Pox On The Pioneers. This album is a totally unexpected gem. I really find it amazing that a man associated with dancier beat-driven music can have produced an album that sounds more like 70s glam rock and pop than anything else. Can't fault it and it's been on rotation in the...

Hopefully it's a decent slot and is televised.

That night in Edinburgh was my first Spiritualized show, and one of the greatest gigs I've ever witnessed.

The euphoria in that room was like nothing else I've ever experienced.

mkb

Third on the bill below the Pogues and the Libertines. The View and the Enemy also on the bill.

Seems an odd fit for Spiritualized, to say the least.

mkb

maybe it does need a slight rethink. like anything eventually, it seems to have been hijacked and corrupted slightly by the big labels.. the fact there was a One Direction release this year is fucked up... I would be willing to bet that none of those gimps have a record player between them. Seen a ...

Might go for the LCD Soundsystem 5LP live album

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere, but Rough Trade East will have a performance from J Spaceman at 6pm on Record Store Day this Saturday.

mkb

He's an absolutely incredible performer, maybe the best ever - he's certainly responsible for the best gig I've ever been to. Also, I'd say that his run of albums from the end of the 70s to the end of the 80s is unparalleled in the history of pop music/culture. For being so prolific, the quality was...

The second one (at least, I think it was the second one - titled The Journey Is Long?) was great, I was listening to it just the other day. Looking forward to this one.

Mine arrived today, thanks for doing this, looks great!

Payment sent, cheers.

I've voted for the highest show on earth t-shirt - while it's obviously in reference to a specific gig, I like the fact that it doesn't have the date/venue or anything on it.

The Good Son is the most solid Nick Cave album. Grinderman is loud for the sake of being loud (much like Nick's current live shows), though I do find them to be decent releases. The nuances of the Bargeld and Harvey line-up would build up to strength, instead of just slamming it out there--one of t...

For the Cave & Ellis soundtrack work, White Lunar is a great compilation giving an overview of it all.
