Not sure if this is the right place but for those who have not heard of a young artist called Ren then listen to the two videos below. The guy is an absolute genius and his style and music are astounding. He’s over in Canada at the moment getting treatment for a long-term illness so probably won’t do a lot this year.

Note that these videos are live and one-take. His story telling is brilliant. Enjoy.

Sounds like an even worse Jamie T.

Watched the Oh Sees tonight after many years. Easily the best gig I have been to in a long time. They truly redefine the term "blistering". It was also the loudest gig I have been to in a long time and some two hours after the gig, my ears are still ringing and I genuinely walked out of the venue wondering if I was half deaf. It was one of the best concerts I have been to in a long while. Truly one of the premier live bands anywhere.

Nice one for sharing. He's certainly got a style - first clip had me thinking of Samuel Beckett

Took a read of his Go Fund Me page - he's certainly been through it. Hope he gets the treatment he needs.

Lee Mavers is back in the studio!

Whether it’s new music, yet another re-release of the debut album or There She Goes - take 9002, we’ll wait and see!

One of his demos was used in... some car show or something?

As regards to this years music, was quite surprised by the new one by Lil Yachty. One part hip-hop, one part pop, one part psychedelic, quite an album to grasp.

My vinyl landed on Friday so perfect timing for cleaning the house. Have loved these lads since first hearing 'Get Up'.

This album is another outstanding release that's almost 'churchy' in its feeling.

Loving the new Free Love album. Early Bjork vibes but more synth pop fun.

As usual, I've been listening to a cornucopia of old music, but in among my constant retro listening, there have been a few tracks here and there piquing my interest.

Wiliam Tyler - Area Code 801
https://williamtyler.bandcamp.com/album/secret-stratosphere
As he says in the intro, this track from his forthcoming live album is 'Hawkwind meets Charlie Daniels Band'. If you're familiar with his rather chilled out version of ambient country, here he's amping it up with some fantastic drums on this.

Trees Speak - Mind Maze
https://youtu.be/L-t0IkE1RVs
Second only to SAULT in the productivity stakes, their fifth album in 3 years this I think. German krautrock motoric-beat rhythms, angular New York post-punk attitude, 60s spy soundtracks, psych, rock, jazz, and 70s synthesizers and vocoders. A lot packed into this.

Janelle Monae - Float
https://youtu.be/-xf28VXMB2w
Continuing her bid for world domination, this afro-pop enlists Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 and as the title suggests, floats on nicely.

The Dream Machine - Lola, In The Morning
https://youtu.be/lIsy6Qjh_NU
New Brighton lads with that classic 'Northwest indie kids smoked too much weed' vibe. The band I'd love to play keyboards in if I was 19 and not an auld fart.

Eyesore & The Jinx - An Ideas Man
https://youtu.be/pMYNriUg2vk
Lots of cowbell on the new one from local faves Eyesore. About how landlords are all fucking c*nts, which is always topical.

James Ellis Ford - I Never Wanted Anything
https://youtu.be/T3ZgyyD_JrY
New on Warp Records, I liked this one a lot. Not quite sure what it is.

New Yo La Tengo hitting the spot as ever, also enjoying new US Girls, Dougie Poole, Feist, Lisa O Neill, 'Space Race' by Brown Spirits (think this is a single on Soul Jazz) and that MT Jones track that Baby Huey posted on here somewhere.

I must admit I was disappointed with that. It doesn't match Slide, that was peak Calvin.

Emiliana Torrini and the Colorist Orchestra-Racing The Storm (March 23)

I've been busy this year so not looked as much so struggled to find new music that I've liked but one album I was anticipating has arrived and given when you look forward to stuff it often disappoints but this one goes beyond what I was expecting. I think the Colorist Orchestra add to whoever they partner (Lisa Hannigan, Howe Gelb) and a second album with Icelander Emiliana Torrini. Having given the whole album a few listens there's only a couple of average tracks, everything else I like. It sits at the top of my 2023 pile right now.

Missed them every time they've toured Oz. I'll go by myself if I have to if they head down here off the back of this album.

Some great shouts in here.

Thanks for the reminder FB. Glorious Game is a fantastic album - reminds me of Gil Scott-Heron in places.

Eddie Chacon May have better his amazing debut.

I am also loving the William Tyler live lp, Spencer Cullum, Cindy, Hollow Hand, Robert Forster and Ulrika Spacek lps.

They were touring with them for a good while, saw them opening for MA in the Olympia in Dublin in 2016, incredible gig. The three lads came out to do a few songs in MAs set towards the end.
