@tagomago they asked that the audience wear them to ans use was about 50%

Fantastic show tonight. Purity Ring always have an amazing synchronization of percussion and light during their live shows.

They used a backdrop projection technique that I last noticed when nina kravis did live holographics of herself. Very cool

And we even got the giant dress. megan being larger than life with corin really hidden behind the screen within his circle of percussion/light pads

Semi manufactured stat but (from Kate's fan page):

Today Kate Bush has entered the Official UK Charts at NUMBER 8, announced just now on BBC Radio 1! This means (as far as we can gather!) that Kate is the first female artist to have had Top 12 UK hit singles in 6 consecutive decades; the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s! (And for those that might ask “hey, okay we know about King of the Mountain hitting number 4 in 2005 but what hit single did she have in the 2010s? The answer is her 2012 remix / new vocal of Running Up That Hill from the closing ceremony of the London Olympics which reached number 6. We say “top 12” and not top 10 for this record, because in the 1990s her highest UK singles chart position was 12, with Rubberband Girl in 1993). This is Kate’s 7th Top Ten single overall in the UK, or 8th if you also count her duet with Peter Gabriel, Don’t Give Up in 1986. Amazing!!

From a 1990 tv show is "Gilbert Ramone"

Gilbert Gottfried with The Ramones

A standout track from the Flume BBC6 set came via CCFX (they have one EP from 2017).

It sucked me in with that Soul II Soul beat and then come the guitars and vocals. I kept thinking how it was all a bit like the Cure but not quite. Stands on its own though and I later read how they are an Olympia "super group"

@tagomago have you seen Sisters with Transistors?

@tagomago isn't there always something weird happening in BC? 😁 TV

Most Coachella moment so far was seeing the Pizza Flag during the Channel Tres set

@tagomago the first Belly lp was great. it got so much play back in the day.

as far as the solo work i would suggest her debut Lovesongs for Underdogs was my favourite

and sorry it took so long for me to follow you back. thanks for all your boosts and favourites (and especially the comments)

@tagomago did you ever dive into Tanya Donnelly's post TM projects (Belly and her own name)?

@tagomago have been a fan of hers going waaaay back. even saw a solo show of hers in Vancouver (10 years before i moved here)

saw this on another social media site

a couple of great new slow burners from the Kristin Hersh side project 50 Ft Wave

Was so happy earlier this eve that I remembered a game was on YouTube tonight then that was superceded by spotting a new Melody's Echo Chamber single (full LP coming April 29)

I had been trying to remember the name of the group for a couple of months now and am so grateful for the new release as it has reintroduced me to their oh so cool and dreamy sound (visuals aren't bad either)

great article detailing the musical progression of Melody's Echo Chamber and the very real tie in with Kevin Parker of Tame Impala

@tagomago i always remember Stan from South Park saying that about Disintegration after Robert Smith saves the world

and from the "cant get enough Robert Smith" the morning is being spent listening to Trilogy

#DisintegrationIsTheGreatestAlbumEver

for me it was The Kick Inside and Laurie Anderson's Big Science that were my breakthrough albums during this time.

great podcast if only for the Kim Gordon doing Yoko Ono

this popped up in my suggestions this morning

just another fabulous icelandic minimalist electronic group

My initial reaction to the new Trentmoller LP is "this is not your father's electronica, it's your electronica tribute to your father's shoegaze and dream pop"

I spent the first 6 cuts of the LP thinking, that's like the Cure no wait New Order no no a little Underworld too, oh and here's that wall of sound wash with Guthrie-esque overtones (?).

The attached tune even had me thinking of the first Lush release

Not what I expected but just what I needed
