The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Thought some might enjoy this solo tune that was performed at a live-to-air session at a great, local (to me) community radio station, here in Melbourne.

Hi AN friends. We have lost one of the great ones over the weekend. I've had The Chills and Martin Phillipps associated records playing on repeat, since I found out about his passing at the age of 61 in in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

If you don't know them, here's a piece on the Radio NZ website and one on Pitchfork, with some background.

The Chills were very influential to a host of musicians like R.E.M, Pavement, Yo La Tengo and many more. His passing has attracted a series of tributes from all over.

On a personal level, I first heard The Chills at a formative time in my life and Martin Phillipps' music, which has more breadth than some might think, broadened my horizons…I have been a fan ever since.

If you want to hear more, hear is a Songwhip page, so you can track some more tunes down.
