Latest edietion of the magazine's cover mounted cd.
For some reason I haven't really explored Sugar who start this off which i think I need to remedy.
The rest is pretty decent too. & another couple of things i need to look into more than i did at the time.

so far today Cate Le Bon's Mug Museum and A.R. Kane singles collection disc 1

got a little tired of all the "chill quarantine vibes" playlists that keep getting linked on social media so I made one for ppl who are anxious and not enjoying it and have no interest in being chill about it

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6EvzdvDOgvmChbEP6FRTJk?si=kf6KptxpQ4erNVg73mqA8Q

My favorite quarantine exercise track is Todd Terje's reworking of an old Norwegian post-punk track "Maskindans", and that led me to my favorite indulgence: old cold wave / indie new wave and I found this mix of stuff from Norway! It has the original "Maskindans" on it.

I've been rolling with a 60+ album mix of punk, metal, new wave and hard rock from 77-83. It's fun, goes from The Nuge to Gang of Four to Devo to Motorhead to the Gun Club to Gary Numan and over and over. I have been just letting it roll for a week or so.

Working at home, I have been streaming some jazz LPs off of Youtube this week too. I listened to Bitches Brew a couple of times and a couple of Wayne Shorter Lps.

David Mancuso Presents The Loft, Vol.2: finding it more consistently engaging, for listening and imaginary dancing, than Vol. 1, which also has a number of highlights of course.
Discoggers have posted videos for every track here, I think:

some days I think serth is the best nnck

I just got into it the other night! Was more familiar w/ Letters From The Earth.

Was inspired to give it a listen after trying to find De Stijl's oral history of the band from their digital DL reissue campaign of 2013, and needing to activate/rely on the Wayback Machine to access it: http://web.archive.org/web/20130508005902/http://destijlrecs.com/124162.html

My NNCK go-to's are often Nine For Victor and Intonomancy, and then CINo 51 and Ytiu in terms of the end of their run.

serth is my fave as well

Bootsy collins playlist.

Spiritual jazz with gospel type choir on several tracks. Lead off track The Rain is quite awesome, almost literally.
Some shared qualities with Sun Ra especially when he had backing singers .
Cover looks like a tribute to I Am Legend, though looks like they picked vampires over NRA spokesman

Bristol based stoner rocking dunt. Guitars have a really creamy consistency and this rocks pretty hard.
HIdden track on disc one is pretty great set.

Previously unreleased lp by collegiate psychedelic band. Melodic, a bit trippy and really quite good.
Bandname was never going to be very memorable to most people. It's the designation of the Sombrero Galaxy a spiral galaxy discovered in 1781. Stellar but probably not th ebest idea for a bandname, too anonymous. THough MC5 seems to work fine, maybe its just shorter and more compact.
