@Tago-Mago …that just made my day  
- 
Pretty good! The Hard Quartet — the indie supergroup comprised of Stephen Malkmus, Emmett Kelly, Matt Sweeney, and Jim White — have released their debut single, “Earth Hater.” What’s more, the band has plotted out their first tour dates for fall 2024.

@goosehd some more Steven Wilson news: 
- 
@SKT man he’s so good. He totally has his own thing carved out, like Frisell. 
- 
@GraemeE highly underrated jazz guitar. jazz box < jazz slab 
- 
@popvulture I'm assuming you took that into account with your Frisell analysis 
- 
@GraemeE yes, oh yes. I must’ve watched this video at least a hundred times. I have limitless space for tasteful telecasting. 
- 
Could listen to this fella noodle all day. Jim Thomas and The Mermen 
- 
@popvulture one of the only redeeming acts of the villainous charlatans was that infamous VW commercial which led to me discovering the music of Nick Drake...... 
 
- 
@GraemeE I remember that ad! I think it sold more copies of Pink Moon than VWs. 
- 
My version of that is the Gap ad that got me into Bill Withers: 
- 
If you can access BBC Sounds this is an absolute treat. 
 "Live at the BBC Proms: BBC Symphony Orchestra, guest artists and conductor Jules Buckley honour Nick Drake in arrangements including Northern Sky, River Man, and Time Has Told Me"
