2025 Europe reissue
Orange Opaque [Habanero] vinyl

Was thinking about Andy Wood today, which drove me to throwing this on.

When I was 13/14 in 1991, and the Pearl Jam, Temple Of The Dog, and #seattle #grunge thing was happening, I was unaware of MLB.

My crash course (much like most kids my age) was through the soundtrack to the movie Singles, and the epic song “Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns”.

This whole album is incredible.
“Stardog Champion” fucking rules, and “Man Of Golden Words” made its way onto many mix CDs I made for friends. The “Crown Of Thorns” here is missing the “Chloe Dancer” front end.
For the version on Singles, check out the Shine E.P..

It’s a sad thing, what happened with Andy Wood.
What a talent.
But this record is HIS legacy.
Forever legendary.

And without IT, we get no Pearl Jam, and no Temple.

PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION
Parade
1986 Canada pressing

Was in the mood for some Prince on this beautiful Sunday afternoon.
A blind Prince pull produced Parade.

A perfect example of a VERY good soundtrack to a REALLY awful movie.
This (with the exception of maybe Singles) has to be the gold standard.

Acting as the soundtrack to the repugnant film Under The Cherry Moon, this has a bevy of killer tunes on it, particularly the final three tracks.

Even if you dislike everything that comes before (why would you?), the run of “Kiss”, “Anotherloverholenyohead”, and “Sometimes It Snows In April” alone make Parade worth owning.

The movie though?
Find a DVD copy, take a huge dump on it, then catapult it into the hot August sun.
If you can prove to me you’ve watched it all, I’ll give you $400.
(Checks will not be honored) 😂

RICHARD AND LINDA THOMPSON
Shoot Out The Lights
1982 Canada pressing

Another one I haven’t listened to start to finish in a long time.

I first learned of Richard Thompson through my absolute hero Bob Mould, who did a savage live cover version of “Shoot Out The Lights” (from the Cabaret Metro in Chicago) on his POISON YEARS compilation that I drilled into the ground as a kid.

For years, I thought it was a Bob song, and when I found out it was a cover, instantly sought out THIS album, and started to explore Richard’s music.

THIS is still the gold standard of his catalog for me, with MIRROR BLUE running a close second.

Madonna – Music
I’ve been on a real Madonna tip following the release of her Confessions 2 album. I use to own this on cd. I don't know where it went. Always ahead of the pack doing her own thing, and continually being criticised for it along the way – even now. In 2025 when everyone was a cowgirl, Madonna did it in 2000. I watched a bunch of Madonna doco’s recently learned she was a huge aids advocate at the time – sharing public health info in a comic at one of her shows. I also didn’t know she was in a bunch of post punk bands when she moved to new york.

I was relaying these newly learned facts to my friend at a birthday day catch up. She told me about seeing Madonna on her 1993 tour – buying tickets across from the chicken shop on a pay phone with their friends mums credit card. Good times.

This vinyl is a repress and it is LOUD.

Jalen Ngonda - Doctrine of Love
A modern day Marvin Gaye but less political. I saw him live this year and he sounded incredible. He is tiny but has a huge set of lungs, and he can play the shit out of his guitar.

I adorded his 2023 release but gotta say this one was a grower. A few tracks on here feel a bit too saccharine (Mr Train Conductor), however it’s still got a soul stomp is a good weekend record.

Neneh Cherry - Raw Like Sushi
I was five when this album was released. I remember seeing the video clip for Buffalo Stance on Rage or Video Hits. I was too young at the time appreciate the significance of this, and Neneh's impact on the music industry. I just liked the tune and the colours.

I finished reading Neneh's memoir earlier this year. I didn't want it to end. It was like a meal with a really good friend. Incredibly insightful, humble and such a fascinating history of music, identity, and creativity. A highlight read of 2026.

Neneh is a total powerhouse and totally underrated!

#weeklyreview 34/2026

Last week of summer school vacation. Kiddo and me used the time to have lunch at IKEA and also the new Korean Restaurant at Oranienburger Strasse.

The other kiddo managed to catch a summer flu and passed it on to me. So the tail end of the week I was slightly miserable and stayed home. Didn’t drove to the countryside to avoid spreading the virus.

Tried to boost the immune system with some ginger shots and lots of garlic 😀

On Friday kiddo and me took a trip to the Alexa shopping centre. She was mostly interested in books and vinyl. Eventually bought “Purple Rain” from Prince on Vinyl. Couldn’t be prouder as a dad 😉

Apparently the trend to print cheap plastic toys with a 3D printer that we’ve seen in China has arrived in Germany. Thalia was selling 3D-printed stuff from a German brand “Spiegelburg”.

Also fiddled a lot with N8N, Paperless and LiteLLM this week to optimise my document workflow. Wrote about it here

Pulled out DeltaChat again as I was curious about their Channel and Group features. Apparently one can set up a Channel to share with other that works as a one distribution from the Initiator to the Subscribers. They can react, but not post or response in the Channel.

Groups work as bidirectional as one would expect. One thing to keep in mind is, that new members will only be added to the channel or group once the initiator comes online. Apparently this can be solved with an always on bot that run’s somewhere.

I currently don’t have any real plans to use these features, was just curious.

Read an interesting post about the Foo Fighters as anti-vaxxer supporters.

The Ocean - Light Pollution
https://youtu.be/iFAc9-6-LSg #metal #music

The Ocean Collective's newest album sounds good, really good. Solaris. Via bandcamp, so far they've only released "Light Pollution" and "Belligerence", which gets hella groovy mid-song.

Random music observations of the morning: Herb Alpert presents Sergio Mendes and Brasil 66 is the best Sergio Mendes LP I have run across! (probably because it was produced by Alpert). Also, the most Portuguese language tracks. The decision on later albums to use English instead of Portuguese maybe catering to the bland American tastes of the era, but the Portuguese versions are far superior. #music #lps

I never chased classical music, I mean I don’t hate the Lone Ranger or the Pachelbel, but by and large it just never turned me on - I think that wasn’t it. I’ve got this French museum channel on teevee and a lot of the time it’s just, “Within the Frame,” a show just showing art and playing music, classical, I assume French music - and I don’t just not care, I hate it.

Here's my song about Shmuley Boteach a.k.a. Rabbi Buttplug, the degenerate kosher dildo salesman and disgusting sack of shit whose jewish privilege grants him access to famous and important people, including world leaders:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Rabbi With a Buttplug

[Verse 1]
A buttplug-selling rabbi, so they say
Knows every leader in the world today
With a wink and a nod, he walks the halls of power
From Washington to Warsaw, every gilded tower

[Pre-Chorus]
You’d think the lines would all be clear
But somehow they just disappear

[Chorus]
Tell me how, tell me why
A rabbi with a buttplug reaches the sky
From the shadows deep, to the seats of might
He’s laughing in the velvet light

[Verse 2]
The guardians of the old “family way”
Still pull up chairs and let him stay
A smirk, a schmooze, a practiced grin
He works the room he’s always in
In marble halls where old alliances are planned
With a smirk, a shtick, and a dildo in his hand
The loudest voices drawing lines in white
Still toast his name in velvet light

[Pre-Chorus]
You try to map what’s wrong or right
But truth gets lost in who they invite

[Chorus]
Tell me how, tell me why
A rabbi with a buttplug reaches the sky
From the shadows deep, to the seats of might
He’s laughing in the velvet light

[Bridge]
He knows the rhythm, he knows the doors
He counts the names behind the scores
He walks the space where faith and theater meet
Where influence and image secretly greet

[Final Chorus]
Tell me how, tell me why
A rabbi with a buttplug reaches the sky
From the shadows deep, to the seats of might
Still laughing in that velvet light

Sharing again, as I did this originally late last night.

From Ministry: "It’s pretty self-evident that Ministry has never been a big fan of “Hair Mussolini,” especially now as he bombards the American people on a near daily basis with self-aggrandizing AI slop. Al Jourgensen and co. felt it necessary to give “Trumplethinskin” a dose of his own medicine."

And a German chorus, too. Mastodon should approve.

WOO
It's Cosy Inside
1989 U.S. pressing

Ok.
So I lied before.
THIS is last spin of the night.

A VERY mellow and VERY strange #ambient record, made by two English brothers named Mark and Clive Ives.

There’s all kinds of instrumentation on here. Synths, drum machines, acoustic guitars, clarinet, violin… it’s a very kind of watery sounding kind of #newage .

It’s a very intimate “for being at home” kind of cozy listen.

Nobody gave a shit about this back in ‘89. However, since it’s 2012, it’s become a sought after cult favorite.

For fans of warm, lo-fi ambient music.

EDIT: Holy shit! I just looked this up, and I didn’t realize how pricey they are (about $150 CAD)!
Yikes!

My c.im #introduction post (I just moved servers and always pin my first post)...

I'm Drew. I'm an escaped Brit, late 50s, childfree, #AntiTheist, former #musician, living in 🇵🇭 since 2019. I'm #neurodivergent with severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I can also be abrasive, capricious and inconsistent.

I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature. My wife and I bought a run-down farm to have a peaceful place to live and now we're accidental hobby farmers.My one-page personal site at https://www.
drewtowler.me tells my story.

I edit posts a lot (including this one).

I'm bullshit-phobic so I keep my feed as free from politics and religion as I can. That said, I would welcome the annihilation of #China by any means. If you lived in the Philippines you'd understand. And I support #PalestineAction's right to exist and protest.

I see a lot of Starlink-hate on Mastodon. We happily use #Starlink - it meant we could buy the land we really wanted and build our house in a peaceful place in the hills where there's no fibre or 4G. For us it was a no-brainer. It's transformed our lives.

McCoy Tyner - Focal Point

Tyner's 1976 album, where he applies his modal piano style to an album of tunes heavily influenced by Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Needless to say, it's fucking great.

SNAKEFINGER
Greener Postures
1980 U.S. pressing

A pretty strange one for last spin of the night, but what would you expect from something with such close ties to The Residents (who co-wrote and co-produced some of it)?

As strange and as “angular” as #artrock gets; greasy, slippery guitars, bum notes (purely intentional), and just an overall melting, warped kinda vibe.

However, as weird and warbly as this album sounds, it DOES have some nice melodies. It’s incredibly melancholy in spots, and outright catchy in others (see: “The Man In The Dark Sedan), which balances out the demented and sinister sounding parts nicely.

Think of WEEN before there was a Ween.
I’d bet dollar to pesos that Dean and Gene are very familiar with (and very fond of) this band.

Just my kind of demented, everybody. 😂

This song comes on in my head every time some weirdo futurist talks about populating mars.

Open your eyes and shoot the dingo
While this shit goes out the window
Multi-factions
Rusting tractors
Dying hero

[Chorus 2]
Only way through is colonization
Acclimatization
Population exodus
Monetization
Civilization
The operation has begun
There is no Planet B

[Bridge]
Patient seasons
Blacked out for ages
Dreaming of cake
Snowflakes blanket
Old deserts
Outskirts disperse
Earth is a blank verse
Last hearse
Dry nurse
(Oh!)
Open your eyes and see
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
There is no Planet B
Open your eyes and see

Sinners are grinners, ear to ear
Baby Jesus sheds a tear

THE VERLAINES
Bird-Dog
2023 Worldwide RSD reissue
Ltd. Edition purple vinyl

Great score from the used bin this morning!
A masterpiece of #80s #indie and #alternative music.

Of all the indie from THAT period; (from about ‘84/85 to ‘89), The Verlaines kinda stick out to me. A little more sophisticated & poetic, unique song structures, with very wordy and angular sounding tunes.

They always came off a little more artful than your average 80s indie band to me.
My favorite band to EVER come from the great Flying Nun catalog.

I came to them really late, first hearing them on the No Alternative compilation from the #90s & their track “Heavy 33”.

I was so taken with that song, and it’s what set me off backwards, leading me to the first two Flying Nun records, and the following two on Slash.
Graeme Downes is a great artist.
Worth exploring if you like unique songcraft.

I’ve gotten into the habit of buying a ”school agenda” to use as a practise log. Which means it begins and ends in August, and it was time to buy a new one. This years agenda is pink and gold and glittery just because!

I don’t really log much more than how long I’ve practised in it most days, but somehow it helps. And sometimes when there is a lot going on it helps to keep track of how much time I’ve spent on different pieces/instruments.
