have you heard the cocteau twins? kidding. but i think i probably thought of robin guthrie when i first heard drawing of sound. i think of it as their best album but i have not heard a lot of later albums. totally true about the godspeed thing!

currently trying to figure out why the only version of righteous brothers' "you've lost that lovin' feelin" on apple music seems to be a shitty stereo mix

I totally get the connection but Guthrie seems more baroque and intentionally soothing, somehow. I made that statement about it seeming like an ur-text kinda glibly, but now I'm wondering...

Electric Miles Davis always a constant, but have really been obsessing over the live stuff for the last couple of months - getting it all in chronological order, working out when personnel change etc. Seems like there's lots more radio broadcast dates out there now to supplement the official live discs, too.
I always underestimate how long Gary Bartz was part of the band, and forget how relatively late into proceedings Pete Cosey/Reggie Lucas joined.

I wasn't sure where to ask this but have frequently wondered and it's impossible to search so this is as good a place as any: what are your main sources for finding new/old music? Obviously, this could stretch a long way so maybe your top 3 sources, and if an answer is the 'internet' can you be more precise?
I reckon mine are: (now and increasingly) here, a select few mates, Spotify (with RYM a close 4th). Until 18 months or so ago, it would have been a few specific people on Twitter, but I can't bear the place so have pretty much abandoned it.

My answer would be the same as yours tbh - here, mates with good taste and Spotify

bandcamp daily, resident advisor, my youtube subs, a subreddit called /r/vintageobscura, rym lists and the lower reaches of their genre charts
that's a bunch of it, but sometimes... sometimes i just fucking _wander_. i see something that looks or sounds interesting and i spend a little time exploring to see where it takes me. mostly it's not a question of "where" but "how". it's like a variation on the question all writers seem to hate - "where do you get your ideas?"
