As I said on RT's thread:

Bloody Noses, 6 songs on bandcamp:
This is an all-acoustic EP recorded at home during lockdown.
All instruments played by Richard Thompson, some harmony vocals by Zara Phillips.

"All acoustic" seems to incl. some deft use of pick-ups, something in the recording set-up allowing for some effects I associate more with per se electric guitar on strong closer "What's Up With You?", in which some of the guitars get percussive as hell, also one of 'em's tuning helps, and sounds like might be actual drums on "The Fortress," with Zara Phillips chiming in effectively on the chorus, "You had the whole world, wrapped around your fin-gah," also good on "Survivor."
Fave so far is "She's A Hard Girl To Know," which I had trouble following at first: so many details, scenes in his head, as he creeps through the rooms, putting it all together, maybe. She's still keeping him going, he knows that much.
Tunes are good, and it's all RT as hell, no surprises, but not just killing time either.
Must check some of the other stuff on here as well:

Virgin Prunes - If I Die, I Die LP

Was wondering about that, while listening Gavin Friday's tracks on xpost AngelHeaded Hipster. How *is* the LP??

certainly the most accessible way into their universe, IMO, although I like the raw/weird/wild New Form Of Beauty series even more.

Minutemen - "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"
Big Black - "Kerosene" (London 1987), "Dead Billy" (Peel session)

Anthem of the Sun original mix

You and xyzzzz are on a classicks roll, smoking gold, roll on. Heard that Anthem original mix recently too, good aint it.
Must check that xxetc. Ferrari, wrote a little bit about one of his back when we were still hearing resentment because France not part of Iraq invasion, so a few implied references here, dang all furriners anyway:

On Luc Ferrari's Les Anecdotiques, voices are talking, frequently in female
and French, beware. (American's also spoken, in Chicago and "dancehall Texas.")
Often near bird-bordered beaches, while engines drive up and away.
Eventually, doors slam and then beat on—doors of a sea tunnel, turns out. Anecdotal,
yas: L.A. swings, as Ferrari intends, in and out of meaning, like a pendulum do.
Worth hearing, at least once. Go listen to your pillow and be glaaad.

lol yup that sounds like his style all right (Ferrari)

It's still worth hearing more than once, duh, but was barely in Voice range at the time, so I was meant to persuade with tourist appeal, and of course at home I'm a tourist, now more than ever.
Only way I got in there was with Toop's Haunted Weather, which incl. some then-rising stara of the artronic margins (names just to drop at the door, because of word limit:
Avantricity's freebirds (Matmos, Autechre, Fennesz, many more) ride the
soundtrack of David Toop's new book, Haunted Weather: Music, Silence, and Memory.
Right channel clusters, left one cloisters, then they hook up, passing through
each other. In time as well as space, when (b) connects with (a) and (x). Disc
2 is mostly ghostly instruments; Disc 1 is more: for inst., the singing
fry and fray of Alvin Lucier's "Sferics." ("Natural radio-frequency emissions
in the ionosphere, radiated from nearby or distant lightning," Toop notes.)
One Weatherbird's ambushed by street sounds, but they're countered by
visionary description; violence gets safely aestheticized. The artist as museum
guard? Where is she later, when I hear a shovel blade in oily gravel, too near a
hypnotic/hypnotized-sounding muezzin? Good book too.

Yow, that Toop CD is extremely expensive on Amazon US now, maybe uploaded somewhere.

Is there a Tool compiled 2cd per each of his books? Ocurred to me a couple of weeks back that I'd lost track of the books after reading a couple in the 90s.
Also picked up a couple of his compiled cds in I think the Virginia Ambient series that I think Kevin Martin was also compiling for.
Just being further reminded of that by talk of Haunted Weather
