  • Ah, welcome back to the Fridaypost! What a day it's been. Got up at half six to pick my girlfriend up from the airport, went to the Japanese café and the beach, baked a summer berry galette, made a stack of parathas to go with the dal from yesterday. All that, coming up on tonight's show. But first, let's hear from our guests!
  • This week's music(al guest) is 'I Was Never There' from last week's new Girls in Synthesis album. Here in the girl-like-substance household, we love noises, crashes, ominous vibes of all stripes, and this track delivers in spades. This is a track to walk purposefully down sombre halls to, preferably while wearing far too much eyeliner.
  • Okay, okay, you got me, we're not returning to the topics I mentioned above; the first volume of the new Orville Peck duet album came out yesterday and we have to feature that. It's fine. Like, the fact that there are only seven songs in this release places each one under quite a lot of pressure, and not all of them can stand that. The middle in particular is kinda weak. And like, it's an album of duet covers; it's never going to hold up to his previous records. Anyway, I can't pick 'Cowboys are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other' a second time, so ... the cover of 'Miénteme' with Bu Cuarón is pretty fun, let's go with that. I appreciate that they went for a different vibe to the original. Nothing lands as limply as a cover that cleaves too close to its source, especially if that source is a megahit like this.

Back from vacation! Real hard picking a favorite thing from Japan, but one of the faves for sure was seeing Japanese Giant Salamanders at the Kyoto Aquarium. Will be slowly getting back into them ceramic things.

The Fridaypost exists in my head, but I've spent all day running around town, deep-cleaning my whole flat, cooking giant vats of dal, &c., &c., all while also somehow doing my job, and frankly I'd rather go to bed than write it. Maybe tomorrow! To tide you over, here's 'The Water Song'. It's not this week's music, but it's never far from my thoughts. Let them kill me! Let them kill me! Now I must be horizontal.
