Relistening to old Bobby Conn. Wow. The lyrics on this. Talk about presaging Trump... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR88trM3nbw #tootradio #mastomusic

Easing into the weekend with Mogwai Fear Satan from their first album Young Team. I've taken them for granted I think. This is a great blend of heavy riffs and airy flute. Reminds me they were so influenced by Bardo Pond then but where BP are endlessly circling, this track is driving forward for its 10+ minutes.

I couldn’t see how to leave a tip that would go towards the National Lawyers Guild, so did it manually after the fact. Hope they get credit.

One of my oldest, closest friends just dropped this album and blimey, it's a belter. Not to be slept on.

An interesting essay on the politics and aesthetics of Brexit-era British boomer resentment as seen through the writings of Morrissey, by Owen Hatherley:
As an experiment, I'm going to try a live stream. It's at http://thurk.org:8103 ... as this is pretty impromptu, I'm just going to start now and see how it goes.
Anyone who wants to listen, enjoy! I'll probably improvise for about an hour. I have no clue of the "quality". :)
A technical argument for why vinyl sound quality is actually terrible:
if you know a thing or two about audio cassette decks...
I have a pioneer CT-43 that worked great in the shop when I bought it back in august or so, and I brought it home and it fails to play.
rewind and fast forward work fine and the tape moves, but playing results in a little bit of clicking and whirring, but the tape itself doesn't move. there's a slight burning smell when that happens, maybe a belt burning?
my expectation is that something got jostled out of place while the deck was in transit.
I've uploaded a copy of the service manual to https://buttslol.s3.amazonaws.com/pub/ct43.pdf, if anybody could point me toward a probable cause so I can pop it open and take a look.
