James Waudby has been in bands for decades, starting in the late 1990s with Salako, which made three records and a Peel Session and toured with Pavement. Pavement drummer Steve West later tapped Waudby for his Marble Bay project and the musician also sings lead in Horse Guard Parade. On the Ballast Miles, however, resembles none of these projects. It’s a spare, lovely 1960s’ influenced folk classic and one of the best albums of 2023 so far. In his Dusted review, Christian Carey observed, “Waubdy’s guitar-playing, in particular, displays an intricacy that belies its dynamic level. Harmonics, pitch bends, dissonant verticals, and drones create an atmosphere that sits astride blues and folk.”

Here’s a list of some of the albums that I continually return to. I suppose they could be filed under good tunes played in an interesting way.

Royal Trux — Cats and Dogs

I used to listen to John Peel’s late-night Radio One show in the early nineties when one night, as I was dozing off, “Spectre” by Royal Trux came on and it totally changed everything. I realized there were no rules and nothing was off limits. You could write a good tune and play it any way you liked.

Townes Van Zandt — S/T

I listen to Townes Van Zandt, and I believe everything he says. Undiluted, raw song craft. Some of the bleakest songs, but also very beautiful. “Waitin' Around to Die” is the classic, but every song on this record is genius.

Shirley Collins and Davy Graham — Folk Roots New Routes

The arrangements on this album are mind blowing. In some songs they fit together effortlessly and in other songs you marvel at how Davy Graham came up with such inventive arrangements. And throughout, Shirley Collins’ voice serenely sings in her own beautiful style. It must have been amazing to hear this album when it first came out.

Matthew J Rolin — S/T

Matthew J. Rolin by Matthew J. Rolin

There’s so much great instrumental guitar music coming out at the moment and all the players have their own style, but Matthew J Rolin is always so tuneful. I love all his records, but this one just pips the others as my favorite.

Neil Young — On the Beach

If I could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life it would have to be Neil Young. There’s so much depth in his work, especially the first decade period. I could have chosen any album, live record, or bootleg, but the lyrics on this LP are some of his best. Another week I might have chosen After the Gold Rush. It’s all amazing.

Plush — More You Becomes You

It is so hard to make an album sound this simple and convey so much feeling in such a short selection of piano-led song sketches. Just stunning from start to finish.

Karen Dalton — In My Own Time

This album is perfect. Not sure there is anything else I can say about it.

Toby Hay — New Music for the Twelve String Guitar

New Music For The 12 String Guitar by Toby Hay

A brilliant Welsh guitarist who has been producing some great instrumental records on his own and with Jim Geddes. I think this one works the best as a whole piece of work. The recording envelops you and he has a beautiful guitar.

Robert Wyatt — Ruth is Stranger than Richard

This album should be a multi-million seller. I can’t understand why it is never in the top ten lists of all-time best albums. Robert Wyatt’s body of work will stand the test of time, but this record stands out. Playful, great tunes, insightful lyrics — what more could you want?

Bert Jansch — Jack Orion

The best album ever made? I think so. With similar tunings throughout, and the same guitar riffs reappearing, the album feels like a suite of folk music rather than a collection of songs. Tracks like “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and Jansch’s masterpiece, “Blackwater Side,” stand out, but the sequencing of the songs to create an ebb and flow draws you in so you can’t stop listening until every note has finished.

The Moldy Peaches – Brooklyn Steel – August 10, 2023

The Moldy Peaches rose out of the downtown antifolk scene around the turn of the millennium, becoming a cult band thanks to their live performances and several recorded releases (including some on CDR). They broke into the mainstream when the chart-topping Juno soundtrack came out in 2007. And a year later, the Moldy Peaches were broken up. But you can’t keep a good band down, and after playing three dates in Europe this past spring, the reunited Moldy Peaches put on their first headlining U.S. show in two decades last night at a very welcoming Brooklyn Steel.

Before taking the stage, they put on the Moldy Peaches Talent Show with performances by band members doing two-song sets: Guitarist Toby Goodshank went first, followed by Bass Race (featuring bassist Steven Mertens), then Only Son (guitarist Jack Dishel) and the pop duo Candy Boys (with drummer Brent Cole).

After the talent show, Kimya Dawson’s aunt Patrice Jetter, a disability-rights activist, addressed the audience. Then the Moldy Peaches took the stage in costumes. They played straight through with no encore, Dawson joking that they’d played all 21 of their songs. But for the finale, she and Adam Green performed as a duo, like they first did when they began in the late ’90s.

(The Moldy Peaches play Brooklyn Steel again tonight.)

raises up my hands. safamaple

I LOVE YOU SAFAMAPLE !!

hmm. I do enjoy the whole aspect of maple being a project safalin genuinely enjoyed working on. To see her creation flourish and grow was all she ever wanted,,, when maple was used for hiyori's purposes, ofc it upset safalin :[ she wasnt in any place to oppose it however so. Oh well.

Theres also the idea that maple saw safalin as her main source of what human life is actually like, often asking her questions abt even the most arbitrary things,,, it was mostly stuff saf deemed silly, but she didn't mind talking abt herself and what her life was before asunaro. It was,, refreshing.

ALSO last reason: nobody makes robot maintenance as gay as they do. I'm correct<3

[into-the-clintoris]

One thing about me is that I think we should have movies and TV shows with sex in them. I don't mean porn I mean like think of all the character development that fic writers put into a porn with plot fic. Now imagine if you could do that in film. Also. Imagine the goofs you could do in a sitcom where they didn't have to fade to black. Imagine a porno with a laugh track.

[polkaraton]

Pre Hay's Code movies are important to know about and all, but it's also interesting to see the movies that risked disregarding it.

For the time period, this lady was a boss. Walking around in pants and doing actual science work and probably pegging Captain Hendry after group therapy. Good for her!

[rinartz]

He looks WAY to baby girl, but hay ho

Another take on the lovely @freezingmcxn description of the creeps, u can find their take on Toby here!

[intimidating-fettuccine]

hai aubrie !! just a question :). who do you think is most/least likely to have sex on the first date?

An interesting question but I was sitting here and I'm like... I don't think enough of them would be willing to have sex on the first date? Like because of trauma or general insecurity or lack of trust so I think I might just have to group them?? Maybe it's just my brain I dunno, I feel like it wouldn't gradient well :p

Could have sex on the first date if they feel the relationship will continue; Offender, Jane, Brian, Liu, Smiley, Trender, Candy, Nina

Would much rather wait (for either trauma, comfort levels, needing a connection, etc.); Jeff, BEN, EJ, LJ, Toby, Tim, Slender, Natalie, Helen, Splendor, Jason, Pup, Zalgo, Hobo, Kate

hai!!! may i request toby with a reader who has a Very obvious crush on him??? who always does stuff for him and acts sort of like a loyal dog?? not in a super intense way tho...

Tysm!! i love ur writing a lot. have a good day / night ^_^

Toby x Reader with an obvious crush!! (thx for liking my writing!!)

Reader’s Behavior:

1. Acts of Service:

- You’re always doing little things for Toby—bringing him snacks, tidying up his room, and making sure he has everything he needs for missions.

- He notices how you go out of your way to ensure he’s comfortable and well taken care of, often before he even realizes what he needs.

2. Loyalty and Support:

- You’re incredibly loyal, always there to listen to him vent about his frustrations or to provide a calming presence when his tics are particularly bad.

- Your unwavering support and loyalty don’t go unnoticed, and Toby secretly finds it comforting to have someone who’s always on his side.

3. Affectionate Gestures:

- You frequently give Toby small, affectionate gestures like patting his shoulder, offering a warm smile, or even playfully ruffling his hair.

- Although you’re careful not to overstep his boundaries, your affection is clear in every little action.

Toby’s Reaction:

4. Confusion and Denial:

- Initially, Toby is confused by your obvious crush. He’s not used to receiving such genuine affection and loyalty, so he tries to dismiss it as simple kindness.

- Despite his confusion, he finds himself looking forward to your presence and the little things you do for him.

5. Growing Awareness:

- Over time, Toby becomes more aware of your feelings. He starts to notice the way you look at him, the slight blush that creeps up your cheeks when he’s near, and the extra effort you put into making him happy.

- He begins to realize that your actions go beyond mere friendship, and it makes him both nervous and oddly happy.

6. Internal Struggle:

- Toby struggles with his own feelings in response to your obvious crush. He’s not sure if he deserves your affection or if he can handle being in a relationship given his past and his disorders.

- Despite his reservations, he can’t deny the warmth and comfort he feels when you’re around.

Developing Feelings:

7. Softening Up:

- Toby starts to soften towards you, allowing himself to be more open and vulnerable. He appreciates your loyalty and the genuine care you show him.

- He starts to reciprocate your affectionate gestures in small ways, like brushing his hand against yours or giving you a rare, genuine smile.

8. Protectiveness:

- Toby becomes increasingly protective of you, not wanting anyone or anything to hurt you. Your loyalty and affection make him feel responsible for your safety and happiness.

- He often finds himself going out of his way to ensure you’re safe, whether it’s accompanying you on errands or standing up for you when others are being harsh.

Realization and Acceptance:

9. Mutual Understanding:

- One day, Toby finally confronts his feelings and your obvious crush. He awkwardly admits that he’s noticed your affection and, despite his initial confusion, he’s grown to care for you deeply.

- You both have a heartfelt conversation about your feelings, and Toby admits that he’s scared but willing to give it a try because you make him feel seen and valued.

10. Growing Closer:

- After acknowledging your feelings for each other, you and Toby grow even closer. Your relationship evolves from one-sided crush to a mutual bond filled with affection and understanding.

- Toby still struggles with his past trauma, but with you by his side, he feels more capable of facing his demons. Your loyalty and love become his anchor, helping him navigate the complexities of his life.

Hope this was good enough!!

[eeeeuuughggg]

Omg I’m sorry, I never saw your post😭 I was the anon that requested Toby, and really it can be general or in a relationship with him, which ever you’d like best

what's it like being in a relationship with toby?

notes: AUGH. im srry this is short anon but tysm for the request its been ages since i've wrote something over like 300 words

w/c: 319

warnings: none

Road trips. Lots of them. The two of you driving around in his shitty old car at night, music blasting. You're not going anywhere in particular, but sometimes he'll take you to a fairly empty 7-Eleven parking lot. Maybe you get high, maybe you don't— it's up to you. Or maybe he'll take you under the old bridge a few miles away to graffiti, tagging your initials or carving them into a tree nearby, who knows?

He's a fucking nerd. He'll take you to music stores, looking through the vinyls, cds, posters, funko pops, merch, etc. Seven times out of ten, he'll start rambling about the band or artist, or drop the most random lore about how he supposedly met them at a garage sale or something like that.

Tags you in stupid shit on TikTok. Two feral stray cats fighting in an alleyway? "@/yourusername us". Silly video of a horse eating hay? "@/yourusername this is what u look like when u eat".

Dates with Toby will usually be away from public places. Either they're at home, in a secluded or abandoned area, or in a dark place, like an aquarium for example. Do you like a certain movie? He'll raid a gas station for snacks, set up a pillow fort, and put on that movie so the two of you can spend time together.

Maybe you like lego (because who doesn't?). He'll steal buy a bunch of sets for the two of you to build in your free time, sitting on the floor and talking about nothing or everything while building the set.

Play fighting is a big thing with him, too. Sure, he can't feel pain, but he loves the adrenaline. Both of you press your hands against the others, pushing until someone eventually falls over. Other small competitive activities aren't uncommon, like thumb wars, or arm wrestling, maybe a bit of staring contests in the mix.
