Long Fin Killie - Classic or Dud?

Listening to Houdini for the first time in about twenty years.... and it still transports me. LS's lyrics.... the music.... instrumentation... a truly timeless album. Won't be twenty more before I pull this one out again.

lol listened to this band for the first time the other day and I, too, thought:

DOES l0u1s jagg3r LIKE LONG FIN KILLIE?

Random Sunday morning thought: what's Sutherland up to these days?

well, as of a year ago:

I didn’t know he was in Mogwai. I see even his Wikipedia page only spends two sentences on LFK… :/

(In fairness, the band does have its own entry)

The news is out! I'll be adapting @amy_may's stunning memoir The Outrun.

Directed by @vicfeatherstone and with an epic new score from Luke Sutherland. Thankful to all of them for being up for the adventure. Humbled, nervous, excited. See you in August 💙 x.com/edintfest/stat…

Luke Sutherland has a new band, Rev Magnetic. Not sure if they're doing anything just now, but worth checking out. https://revmagnetic.bandcamp.com/music

He was also a regular at Tony Bevan's free improv matinee, Help Me I'm Melting. I've not been in a while as I've left Glasgow, but he was always great. Beautiful guitarist and he'd also do processed vocal stuff, bringing an r 'n b sensibility into free music.

Rev Magnetic album came out in 2019.

On the Rev Magnetic Facebook page it says that in April 2023- Long Player. Jer Reid and Luke Sutherland will play for 7 hours. A working day. Beyond a working day. It’s an open studio. An invitation for you to dance, draw, sit, listen, speak into the mic provided. Come and go as you like

Not seeing any new posts on the band's Instagram page since February 2023

So I guess Sutherland is busy with that score djh mentioned

Missed the RM posts from a while back. Think everyone has various projects/family stuff going on, but hopefully there's more to come.

That Long Player with Jer sounds great - wish I'd caught it.

happy to hear he is a Hawkwind fan -

Great little interview - would love to hear his soundtrack to Dovzhenko's Earth!
