Good morning. Hello. How are you? I am great! Sun is shining again. Always lovely. I mean I know that’s a repetitive sort of opener, but when it’s 7:45 AM and you haven’t done much yet, you don’t have much to go on when reporting on how you’re doing. I got to sleep okay, I slept 8 hours, I haven’t looked (too much) at the news yet, the company didn’t go out of business overnight, what is there to complain about?
Thanks for the tip on Lisa's new book and the spinal tap stud-finder. I miss Lisa's brain and (via Reno & Gerlach) I miss the weirdness that is Nevada.
Also our bedroom has a nasty hole above the window from a recent attempt to use those plastic (studless) screw anchors to hang blackout currents. No bueno.
Have you checked out the bands on The Flenser (https://theflenser.bandcamp.com/)? I like the concept of "spiritual successors to goth." That sums up what I think of most of the stuff on this label. It's fresh but has a similar aesthetic to what I liked about the early days of goth. The Black Wing record that came out late last year is just amazing.They have a nice record club that I'm on my 3rd year of subscribing to and the shipments rarely disappoint.
Ooo no I don't know about ANY of these thank you so much. Will investigate! Oh my god I've not heard a single one of these bands I am going to pick four at random and start there.

So far Botswana is proving to be quite entertaining too! But of course half of that is just Lisa's great writing...

Black Wing, Midwife, Sprain and Mamaleek all made my top 20 from 2020. Amazing label.
