The Flaming Lips @ Fortitude Music Hall, 28.09.2019
It keeps coming back to nostalgia. It’s less the wallowing in it than trying to understand it. Is it a natural part of the ageing process or is it a commercial construct? It’s a slow creep, something that’s getting worse, and yet something that I don’t feel wholly responsible for or in control of. It’s […]

101 Albums You Should Die Before You Hear, Vol. 1 – A Biased Review

Lee Adcock’s Response to Everett True’s Response To The Flaming Lips – Why Can’t We Be Fwends?
I had a good intro here. A fucking good one, too. But then it vanished. So fuck it. The title says it all, anyway. ET asked, and so I answered: 1. Because, quite frankly, everyone’s still catching up to the Bastards of Fate. 2. Because their Stone Roses cover album [link] actually DID trump the […]
Song of the day – 655: Yoko Ono
Sometimes, the concept is enough in itself. My head is still reeling from being around the psychedelic fountain.
Song of the day – 615: Blludd Relations
This passes the Kid Koala test. So laidback it’s beyond horizontal. Chilled. Woozy. Wonderful.

Another slow month, enlivened somewhat by the top two entries. At this rate, Collapse Board’s going to be less popular than The Legend!’s music – something I always figured was impossible. 1.
