Full disclosure - I have zero intention of ever listening to that new Flea album. This piece just solidified my resolve. Call me a blinkered snob, but I know what I’m in for and I don’t have the time to waste.

I watched the recent interview he did with Beato and he seemed sincere enough about his love of jazz but not heard anything I liked. Had higher hopes for the Thom Yorke collab tbh
That’s a great take…
Ooofff. but also im nodding in agreement…
When Kamasi Washington released The Epic in 2015, critics liked it. … It sounded, to me, like a lot of the 50-year-old Pharaoh Sanders albums, such as Journey to the One. I really like those albums. I did not see the need for a young saxophonist to make them again at quadruple their original length.

Sry, a lot of bs in my post.
I got a chuckle out of it.

I was more interested in the fact that Nick Cave was appearing in a nice bit of burying the hatchet …but yeah it’s not really my thing either.

On the BOC subreddit, I’ve been enjoying the NTSC versions arriving in the US… then, delayed by the bank holiday, the PAL ones to the UK. I never thought such detailed interpretations of various forms of analogue shash, crackle, distortion and chroma bleed were possible - I feel like you all need to up your game!

Grim reading, but timely and well expressed by Ian Dunt…

Wasn’t sure where to post this as it doesn’t really fit in the books version of this but lots of great reading in the latest Disco Pogo

Am I allowed to share this (I just published it):
Shoutouts to Dave P, James Murphy, Justin Carter, Eamon Harkin, Douglas Sherman, Optimo, APA, Josh Madoff… all of whom made the story possible.
When I posted about the record at noon today, there were 34 copies remaining. It’s now sold out!

Excellent.
It left me wondering… what’s on the B-side?

@reubenturner there’s a b-side snippet here:
they describe it thusly: On the B side, “Tatemae,” APA summons an aggressive, foggy, dungeon techno revision of a UK lo-fi hit. The final result is a stark yin and yang 12" vinyl release that is designed for warming up a loft party in the evening, and then launching an audience into a cerebral abyss during the early hours of the next morning.
