Heavy rain's set for the next couple days here in the fens. The freshly ploughed fields post-harvest will be sodden. The lights of the takeaway across the street glow in the mirroring puddles at the road's edge - and the rise and fall of tyre tracks through water has been the day's only soundtrack til I threw this record on.
I remember hearing it for the first time, the whole thing, on YouTube in my sixth form common room, recommended by a friend. It felt then as though it came from outside of time, it still feels that way now.

Iโve been a Waits fan for ages but THIS!!! is probably my second favourite album of his (behind Rain Dogs). Recorded live in front of an audience for that juicy atmosphere. Love spinning it on rainy nights and / or while hungover. Check it out if youโre that way inclined!!! Peace out champs X X X

๐If itโs a rainy foggy night, deluxe. I also read most of Veronica while listening to this album and that combination was true transcendence. Literally gave me chills.

๐งhappy sunday!
first consistent couple of days of rain in months maybe? it's running right off the bone dry fields and causing choas on the roads, but it smells like relief

did not expect to catch a bunch of Italian punk bands from Como in the middle of England last night - but it was a dream. And a reminder of the fucking strange, beautiful nature of music, and the organic networks of community that blossom from picking up instruments and starting a band.
East Anglia has a p strong punk/hardcore/everything adjacent scene and a couple of old heads started a regular all-day gig - East Angrier. These heads had supported a band in Italy and they promised to return the favour.
So here they were, flooding the bar by early evening with sweat, angst, charm and frenetic bursts of Italian as they ordered pints of Guinness.
Pictured is The Forest Calling, who took the roof off the place ๐ฎ๐น
