Yo I'm half a year late to this, but there's some great stuff on here. Love the new Peter Gabriel album. I'm a huge Genesis fan, and I generally spend more time listening to the Collins era, but I'm definitely an all-eras fan. Some of my absolute favourites are from the Gabriel era (Fountain of Salmacis, Carpet Crawlers, all of the Selling England LP).
M83 are gorgeous, and Susanne Sundfør is a joy. I bought her Ten Love Songs LP recently, and it's already among my favourite albums of all time. Stunning.

Not me replying to 8 month old posts, no way.
I really enjoy watching TOTP episodes from the early 90s, because there was such a staggeringly diverse mix of music - and it was all just presented at face value, with no cynicism. It could go from metal to a boyband to eurodance to a balad to britpop, and it was all celebrated (for better or worse, lol).
It reminds me of being super young, watching shows like that, having no idea what genres or bands were supposed to be cool, and just enjoying everything on its own terms.

Still shocked at the passing of Steve Albini,his music and production work have been part of my life since my teens,i,m now 46 and his music is still as important to me as it was way back in the day,his band Shellac are due to release a new album next week which will now sadly be a posthumous release,a true giant in the world of independent music.

Yeah it's a huge loss. Such sad news. Like many others, over the weekend I'll be playing tons of the music that he made and touched.Still shocked at the passing of Steve Albini,his music and production work have been part of my life since my teens,i,m now 46 and his music is still as important to me as it was way back in the day,his band Shellac are due to release a new album next week which will now sadly be a posthumous release,a true giant in the world of independent music.

I was going through my records the other day and found my Big Black and Rapeman (classic Albini name) LPs. I’ll be spinning them this weekend.

All his bands were amazing and so unique,yeah Rapeman are awesome even cooler that the band is named after the controversial manga that spawned an anime ova and various live action movies,all terrible but essential trashy viewing which definitely falls into the its that bad its good category.

I will say that I appreciate how he showed regret for a lot of his edgy (read: tedious) statements over the years, including the name Rapeman. This is a good read Steve Albini Discusses Edgelord Reputation, Use of the N-word on Odd Future Post in New Interview

Yeah i,ve read various interviews over the years about him and his regrets on various things regarding his work but like it or not its all just rock n roll at the end of the day its all done to be controversial and his reputation was built upon being anti p.c. and it was all a way to get noticed and get talked about,punk in the early days was all about shock value like it or not and we need stuff like that more than ever in this day and age with all this woke crap and cancel culture.
