Alone - The Cure
Alone
On Thursday 26th September 2024 The Cure released the single Alone 🎵
Birds fall from the sky, broken voices call us home and youthful dreams are dashed against the transience of life in the band’s first new song in 16 years
(from 🔗 The Guardian)
The lyrics of the song “seem to be based on Dregs, an 1899 work by the Decadent poet Ernest Dowson”.
Alone on Apple Music

Instead of the usual one 1¼ hrs it took us over 2½ hrs to drive to Bristol last night - delays leading up to the Brynglas Tunnel and an accident on the Severn Bridge 😔
But it was made worthwhile by fish and chips at The Hatchet Inn and my first visit to St. George’s. An impressive venue.

Lankum: If microphones are put in front of us, we are going to talk about Gaza
“I think that if you have a platform,” Peat says, “and you don’t use it to speak what you believe about this, then it’s a waste of a platform. I also think that having a platform to only promote your music or yourself doesn’t sit very well for me. It’s horrendous what’s happening and if microphones are put in front of us, we’re going to talk about it. It’s really that simple.”

Linkblog 🔗: John Cage: Organ playing 639-year-long piece changes chord 🎵
The longest - and slowest - music composition in existence had a big day on Monday - it changed chord for the first time in two years.
Crowds gathered at a church in Germany to witness the rare moment, which is part of an artistic feat by avant-garde composer, John Cage.
The experimental piece, entitled As Slow as Possible, began in 2001. Being played on a specially-built organ, it is not set to finish playing until the … -

Chris Frantz: Remain in Love 🔗 — Excerpt: David Byrne overwhelms the image of Talking Heads.

Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien: ‘Humanity has only really learned from disaster’ 🔗 — Excerpt: Ed O’Brien believed Radiohead’s turbulent years were behind him. It was 2001 and the guitarist and “band mum” had tamed egos, anchored stressful tours and clung tight as his bandmates swerved into electronic music. Now, the five-piece had nothing to prove, and he had slipped underwater.

Listening to Thanks for the Dance, the album of Leonard Cohen’s final songs. 🎵
What is immediately striking about Thanks for the Dance is how organic these meticulously constructed songs sound, given that five of them were assembled from the barest musical sketches and four others from lyrics Leonard had recited, but not put to music.

Went to see Suede at The Great Hall, Cardiff University Students' Union last night 🎵. They were amazingly good, an absolutely electric gig from start to finish. I saw Suede twice in the 1990s with exactly the same lineup of Brett Anderson, Richard Oakes, Mat Osman, Simon Gilbert and Neil Codling. Last night’s performance was as good as, if not better than, those earlier days.
Great support from BC Camplight (aka Brian Christinzio).
