Imponderable soundtrack CD for $5 on Discogs, US peeps. (I'm not selling it I just think you should buy it.)

too soon for a "me and putin, we just signed..." remake

Best use of a Fairlight in music history

A live chamber music version, from 2019:

i was meant to see the ensemble thing in london a couple of years back, but covid etc.

oh, and the picture jim has posted today could have been taken this week.

too soon for a "me and putin, we just signed..." remake

boom!

seconded on best use of a fairlight.

Wasn't Calamity Crush/Catastrophe Crunch done on a Fairlight?

it 100% sounds like it was.

all the orchestral stuff on "nail" too.

Couple nights ago...

The instrumental at the start of Nail is so lovely

another year another love

Thirwell is done with releasing physical media isn't he? I should probably get what CDs I can afford right now if they're never coming out again

I think he mentioned that a CD of Archer music was coming later this year. And he released a 40th anniversary white vinyl version of Ache.

nice, missed that Ache reissue but I have an OG LP and reissue CD already, always nice to see it out there again. Ache is so great and has my single favorite song of his ("Gums Bleed")

Gums Bleed available only on Apple Music almost makes me have an Apple Music account only for this

Thirwell is done with releasing physical media isn't he?

interesting.
has he actually said this anywhwere ?

in foetus related news :
i once ordered a cd from him and it came with a signed sticker.
fast forward years later, and could i find that sticker anywhere ?
i scoured this place from top to bottom for weeks once i had it in my head that i had to find it.
i gave up.
then a couple of weeks back i decided to check out my Motorslug 12" with comic (wanted to look at the artwork etc) ..
and yeah, the sticker dropped out of the comic.

I just have a memory of him and Jarboe saying they wouldn't be releasing physical media anymore. Can't recall sources

put GASH on cos of this nudge.
damn, SLUNG is insanely fantastic.

This interview is from 2020 but he said he has 9 albums in the works! And he lived with Keith Allen!

And he lived with Keith Allen!

Which is likely why he appeared briefly in The Bullshitters.

It's about time for Mortaring Foetus Back on the Wheel I think.

that soft cell appearance is soemething else. I really loved the soft cell set in SF but this would have put it over the top.

He also says there will be a final concluding Foetus album.

The last few Xordox and Thirlwell albums have been on CD so either I misremembered or he changed his mind

Which is likely why he appeared briefly in The Bullshitters.

Best cameo ever. Nice if he could have been the centre of The Yob instead of UB40 as well

What day is it????

Today is the first first of September without onimo.

:(

JG Thirlwell was in my dream last night ... I rarely have dreams about music

when my sister still lived in london she was leaving her house once and encountered a pasty-looking type on the pavement eyeing her house weirdly. she asked what was up and pasty said the house was a SHRINE* bcz FOETUS once lived there. which she had not till then known (the previous inhabitant had been a sad-seeming lady with many cats). anyway maybe keith allen also lived there…

*i don't imagine they actually said SHRINE, it's what they meant tho (i have a very clear imagined idea of this person lol, based entirely on unjust assumption)

Pasty fans of pasty Foetus

I went there once to interview him for The Wire. It's a really nice space.
