Check out this podcast episode if you, like me, picked up "On Earth" by Peace from Phil's merch table and wondered what in the hell you were listening to. A 17 minute album I could never finish. I didn't know if it was a joke or some toss-off made with friends in an afternoon. No. Apparently Phil thought for a minute he'd release other people's music and wasted a lot of money recording them in Florida. And a bunch of other details that probably aren't true. Fun listen.

clear moon sounded absolutely wonderful to me tonight in a way that it never has before. must be the clear moon outside

Still umming and ahhing about tickets to his Brisbane show. Saw him last in 2013 (ocean roar/clear moon era) and it was a wonderful show in an intimate venue and I just think that might be enough for me.

Gave The Microphones - Mt. Eerie another spin driving through the hinterland the other day and that first track is still a majestic effort.

i'm going. he's playing mostly new material live at the moment and it sounds great, all like "huge fire" from earlier this year so i'm looking forward to hearing it in person

& he's released his best two albums (now only and microphones in 2020) in the past 5 years so hopefully he'll at least do something from now only

That’s a good sales pitch. I’m going to see David Toop and Loren Connors the night before there (highly recommend, free/donation gig), maybe I’ll back to back it? Time to listen to his new material and see what he does

I kind of got off the bus after A Crow Looked At Me, seems like I have a lot to catch up on.

if you've ever been a fan of any of his music you've absolutely gotta hear microphones in 2020, it's his masterpiece. utterly transcendental

Just chucked it on, nice to return to that lovely stereo acoustic percussive thing he had going. A mellow version of one of my favourite gastr del sol numbers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaDfGFW6MZo

Thanks for the rec ufo, just bought a ticket. Let me buy you a drink if you're up for it (y)

good show tonight, nice to meet H.P too

the new material (which made up most of the show) was great to hear and i'm looking forward to the album. i do hope "huge fire" will be on it
