Quote from: Nickslikk2112 on August 27, 2025, 09:44:28 PMI once pretended to be Gordon Giltrap on a Gordon Giltrap forum, thanking everybody for saying what an amazing genius I was.

It prompted the real GG to turn up and call me out for being an impostor...
you mean you are not the real Nickslikk2112  :o
Unfortunately that's exactly who I am.  Apart from the fact he never really was me.  :o

You don't have to be a fan, but I am. And there's no denying that Waits is a fantastic artist. This is more than tune then, just a lovely watch.


Slim

Loving this. Check out the microtonal guitar.

Yes they are blowing up, I expect them to be the festival hype anytime now. It feels like Primus for the new age.

I see Angine de Poitrine's first album is available on vinyl. You may need to win the lottery to afford a copy though:

Just download a digital copy, make scratchy noises with your fingernails on a piece of card, have some Rice Krispies nearby and throw an overcoat over your speakers. If really keen, downsample to 13 bit. Much cheaper.

Been listening to what is sometimes called "Yacht Soul" just recently. I wouldn't have given this the time of day when it came out. I might have thought "that's nice" if I heard it on the radio but ultimately I would have thought of it as wallpaper music. It's far more than that. This is glorious.


Slim

Here's a bit more jazz-inflected pop soul. Gorgeous.

Hadn't heard this in a while. Beautiful song

At least the Piledriver got to have sex with him, but now Battlesnake have killed Satan!
This is what music is all about.
