Wow, I have just discovered... (1 Viewer)

Cora has done a lot of great stuff, have you heard the group she plays with, Fovea Hex? Might be one of my favourite things ever.

Oooh. Laura Sheeran plays with that group too, right?

I've heard of them alright... and I'm checking them out now!

That's the thing with Clodagh Simonds. Clodagh's old Mellow Candle colleague, Alison O'Donnell, has some great records too.

I love Alison's records. She's about to release a new record. Can't waaaaait.

She's got such a great voice. It's like Kate Bush...but Alison's voice has aged better!

Belle and Sebastian are like a very tidy tea-room

I must listen to the Pastels again - I don't think I've listened to them in 20 years.

 

[Lili Marlene]

ugh, they're objectively creepy. I know @Lili Marlene agrees with me.

Lili Marlene agrees with you.

They're like lads in their "this is what a feminist looks like" t-shirts who only use twitter to respond to the accounts of young women about how much they agree that all men are awful.

or as Steven Wells put it

self-loving, knock-kneed, passive aggressive, dressed-up-in-kiddy-clothes, mock-pop-creepiness-peddling, smug, underachieving, real-pop-hating no-talents celebrating their own inadequacy with music so white it's translucent

@ing you was a good idea

Stuart Murdoch literally wrote a film about how he gets teenage girls.

This is perfect.

I have been listening to Write About Love a lot recently and really enjoying it. I wondered why I didn't buy their last album, then I remembered it is titled Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance and I couldn't be fucked with that shit.

Legal Man has always been a good tune.

I dunno, I'm sure he's perfectly sound in real life so I should lay off but I saw B&S live a few years back and I was just sickened by the audience. A real visceral reaction to it all. ugh. Gimme Weller-dads who know they're old over this smug stuff.

This is a great quote!

I used to work with a guy called Steven Wells. His son Alexander is an illustrator. I don't think Steve liked Belle and Sebastian. He was in his 50's and was big in to fitness. Not the kind of guy to use social media either. He was a nice fella.

Jesus Christ, I'd have a hard time choosing, to be honest. (Weller since Style Council, obvs).

Weller-dads is an amazing term. They do tend to say things like "ah sure girls are better looking without make up, anyway", though. actual quote from actual Weller-dad.

Oooh. Laura Sheeran plays with that group too, right?

She does, that was the first musical thing she did. I think she was only 16 or something on the first Fovea Hex EP. I was also very briefly in Fovea Hex for one photo shoot when Colin Potter wasn’t around.

Hey, I crowdfunded that movie. The only complaint I have about it is that, for some inexplicable reason, they omitted my surname from the closing credits.

That was probably for the best.
