Dreadlocktruth oh wow. So moonspell formed in 1993, and their first LP came out in 94. You should check that record out, it’s called Wolfheart. I saw them live a bunch and they were great to watch.

Binged 'The Butterfly Effect', a new podcast series by Jon Ronson (So You've Been Publicly Shamed, The Men Who Stare at Goats, The Psychopath Test), yesterday. It's a study on the origins of free internet porn and the unexpected ways that affects people in the industry's lives. Really interesting.

QOTSA are touring the UK at the minute. I was hoping to go to their London date next week but it'd cost in excess of £200 in trains and a hotel. I don't like them enough to spend that much on it but I'm sad to miss it.
I was also considering getting a ticket off eBay to see Marilyn Manson in Wolverhampton next month. That'd cost about £70, which I wouldn't mind for most bands as I can get the train home and that's under a tenner but then I remembered he's kind of terrible live......... definitely not worth spending £70 on!

Question for yous that listen to music... have you ever been listening to a song you like and then suddenly you've noticed an instrument or something that you've NEVER heard before in hundreds of hours of listening and it completely blows your mind? That's happened to me quite a lot, I must admit.. it'll usually be something going on in the background when you're focused on something else that's happening.
Case in point... a year or two ago somebody realised that the opening theme to Red Dwarf has the words "Red Dwarf" sung four times through a vocoder and NOBODY HAD NOTICED IN OVER 20 YEARS.

I think you nudged me to realise the hidden red dwarf words a while back. Yeah so I used to have decent stereo, but last few years I just Bluetooth tunes from my phone to a little speaker. So I was traveling on the train and for once put my headphones on. And heard so many things in tunes I’d listened to loads. Secret words and rhythms. I should always use my headphones. Just got out the habit. Actually I gotta post it. Jazzy rock.

Yeah I think I can attribute some of it to a change of how I'm listening.... I was playing some music through my iPad for Charlie yesterday and I noticed a guitar line in the last chorus of a favourite song that I'd never heard before.
I keep meaning to check out KG&LW as I know you like them. But I find it hard to get into new bands that way, it's more likely to happen if I hear them randomly in a bunch of other music so I'm not concentrating on the song to see if I like it. Maybe we should do like old 90s romantics and send each other mix tape CDs with song recommendations on. ;p
In all seriousness, though, I do love making mix tape CDs for people (albeit girls, usually!). And I spend a ridiculous amount of time on the play order, seeing which song endings work perfectly with which intros. Then I usually find out the person played it on random and I don't want to ever talk to them again lol.

I still have a bunch of mix tapes I recorded from the radio in the late 80s. Took me years before I discovered See Emily Play was a Pink Floyd song, as I didn't catch the DJ announcing it. I used to do mix tapes for my boyfriend back in the UK when I went to the states. He used to run one of the alternative nights in our local club, so I'd send him grunge mix tapes featuring Nirvana, Pearl Jam and other American bands. You could argue that this is our virtual mix tape

That's so cool that ya still have mixed tapes from back in the day Sarah. I'd love to hear the list of tunes from one of them I used to love making mixed tapes as well. I worked in a record shop during high school and handed out mixed tapes to people who bought my favorite artist. Those were the days ♡
