Sean has three new releases out, each one with a guest - Dave Ball, Fred Schneider and Bootsy Collins! The Fred Schneider one isn't out yet so here's the Bootsy one:

Possibly of more interest, he posted this video. Think this might be their debut gig.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXTqYkR6v54

I've only just found out, via a circuitous route on Facebook, that he's gay - I'm not surprised by that so much as the fact that he's been out for donkey's years and I'd never heard about it.

Yeah he does pretty well in the club circuit. He's playing at Pride here in Vancouver this year. But he hasn't cut any records for about 15 years so he's been fairly low-key unless you're into the bear scene. He played at a BMX Bandits reunion this month too.

having heard other stuff off the album now, this is not representative.
it seems a lot more old school chicago house styled.
the guest list is insane.

woah that is an insane guest list

and it turns out that the album is really as good as the reviews are saying.
― mark e, Thursday, 20 October 2016 20:47 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I've listened to it a few times and really enjoyed it. Also went back and listened to 'Demonstration' for the first time in a long time and it holds up.

sean is on a twitter groove.he is clearly still livid re the whole 'theres always been a dance element to our music' phrase that got stuck to them and so is currently trying to figure out the original source of the phrase.old nme'rs have been dragged into the chaos.

Sean's good people, I've found; somehow we ended up mutual Twitter follows years back and I have to say I really like his recent music. That album with David McAlmont was striking.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 9 April 2023 21:34 (one year ago) link
100% agree.
― mark e, Sunday, 9 April 2023 21:46 (one year ago) link
i did not post this as a diss, but as a point of order re the chaos he clearly went through due to that one 'quote'.
― mark e, Sunday, 9 April 2023 21:48 (one year ago) link
Don't know about this Twitter thing but their chapter in the recent C86 book is an eye opener on that topic.
― everything, Monday, 10 April 2023 01:31 (one year ago) link
Just read that chapter this morning by coincidence. Great book.
What I really want to hear is that TR808 / SH101 solo thing Sean recorded when he was 14 (as mentioned in the book)

Great recent chat with Sean here:https://thehustle.podbean.com/e/episode-408-sean-dickson-of-the-soup-dragonshifi-sean/
Gets pretty emotional about his coming out and subsequent breakdown... and his lack of renumeration for turning "I'm Free" into a massive hit. Seems like a good dude.

Guess they are touring again, with the original line up and the BMX Bandits & Vaselines in support. Perhaps an acknowledgment that the Ross on drums era is what people want to hear, at least in the UK. Probably be good fun tbh.
