Finally catching up on last week’s post, and I’m so glad to have circled back to ur article. Really enjoyed reading about the Busta, Deniece Williams, Makaya McCraven and Jackson Conti LPs. The Lord Kitchener comp u talked about is my discovery from this post, and considering how there’s many other volumes to the series there are means I have some homework to do.
Hi Aly. Thanks for making these posts available via this platform - I catch someone Instagram,but not all, and its great to re-read those anyway. I’ve been lucky enough to be in Australia since mid December and although its bloody lovely (even Melbourne has been kind with the weather in the week or more we’ve been here) it does feel a long way away from where things are happening. There’s stuff in Melbourne for sure, but Sydney feels a bit of cultural desert. Maybe I just needed to dig deeper. But I did meet a great guy - Nick of Aeroplane Records in Hobart, Tasmania. Tried to persuade him to get to We Out Here 23.
But whatever - your posts have been lovely little blasts of a musical community that I can’t really define but feel part of. And on the detail - re the Lord Kitchener LP, I was interested (and pleased)you commented on the ‘casual references’ to domestic violence. I had a similar thing with the Georgie Fame Box Set “the whole world’s shaking” a few years back - its full of terrific stuff but there’s some dreadful sexist /mysogistic stuff in the odd track as well which really jars. And thanks for the lovely celebration of the This Is Neicy LP. The number of times I’ve flicked over that in a store ! I won’t skip it next time.
