New Music

One of the biggest pissers of this year - apart from the death, illness and financial difficulties, natch - is not being able to see these two live. The music is good, but nothing like the live experience. I really hope Howl & The Hum, Plastic Mermaids and Withered Hand audience with's go ahead.

Lefty I knew about the Howl and The Hum but I was struggling to get people interested so havent got tickets and there is only a table for 6 left. The two tables have gone. Found Plastic Mermaids 28th Nov but cannot find Withered Hand. When is he on.

Late entry. Just came across this. For the enquiring minds.

Miley Cyrus recently performed live for MTV Unplugged’s Background Sessions.
Alongside a masked and distanced band, Cyrus put a slower spin on Pearl Jam’s “Just Breathe.” During the set, she also covered the Cardigans’ “Communication,” Britney Spears’ “Gimme More,” Nico’s “These Days,” and the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane.


Miley Cyrus - Just Breathe (MTV Unplugged Presents Miley Cyrus Backyard Sessions)

Such a great song, Backspacer isn't one of my favourite PJ albums but I always go back to it for this song alone.

Withered Hand is on at the Cluny 2 in December. It’s a Saturday. I’ve a spare place if you want to join me. I’d pick you up if you like. There is a matinee and an evening, I’ve chosen the evening. I might have a spare for plastic mermaids too.
 
Bright Eyes Share New Song "Miracle Of Life" to Benefit Planned Parenthood

After being announced to perform at Planned Parenthood’s upcoming Virtual Fundraising Festival on Oct. 25, Bright Eyes have dropped a new song “Miracle Of Life” to benefit the nonprofit.
“Miracle Of Life” is an incredibly haunting song, detailing a future where safe reproductive health isn’t an option anymore. “Crying’s such a soothing sound / Get cured with a coat hanger / Girl you’re in America now,” frontman Conor Oberst sings, as Phoebe Bridgers echoes the statements through her quiet backing vocals. Released as a partnership with the 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood Collective, the song also features Flea and Queens of the Stone Age’s Jon Theodore.
Conor Oberst said in a statement:
“This song should not exist in 2020 America. It is a protest song, I guess. Or maybe just a little story about what was, what still is in many parts of the world and what could be again here in this country if the GOP is successful in reshaping the Supreme Court and rolling back all of the hard fought progress made for reproductive rights in the last fifty years. Hopefully, if we all work together and vote, it will make this song sound as irrelevant and outdated as it should.”

The song is exclusively available on Bandcamp for $1, but will hit other platforms on Oct. 28, with all proceeds, syncs and streams going towards Planned Parenthood.

This brings back some memories. They were supposed to be playing the Westgarth again this December, but I think Covid must have put paid to that.
