Active Listening by Carl Ransom Rogers & Richard Evans Farson
Active Listening is a short 1957 work by Drs. Carl R. Rogers and Richard E. Farson, two influential American psychologists. The work brings the counselling technique of active listening to the layperson, demonstrating how it can be applied to interactions between an employee and employer.
One of a number of psychedelia-inspired songs they contributed to the 1970s Japanese TV show Saiyūki, better known to anglophone audiences as "Monkey".
Like a lot of my favourite music, this album is hard to pigeonhole with a genre label. It sits vaguely near 90s nerdrock; They Might Be Giants, Weezer, Cake, etc. Although this track is out on the surreal end of that genre, with Marcy Playground. You could even describe it as a US Oasis sort of sound.
Also, if you use streaming services, do you use them to discover music to buy on #Bandcamp, @mirlo, #jamcoop, from a record shop or similar, or is the streaming source where you do all your listening? Just curious about whether your music habits have changed in the last few years. #Music#Listening#Streaming#Playlists

"Substack deserves credit for kicking off a revolution in independent publishing. But the world it helped to birth is now much bigger than its own platform. Next week we will move to a new home in that world. One where readers can feel confident their money is not going to accelerate the growth of hate movements."
I loved their first couple of albums (Nurse and particularly TroubleGum) back in the 90s. But on relistening to them recently I enjoyed the musical style, by some of the lyrics come across a bit emo edgelord. So I'm pleased to hear more lyrical sophistication on this new album, with the same great crunchy riffage and chunky beats.
Wow, I'd completely forgotten about Ned's Atomic Dustbin. I was reminded today while reading Wikipedia articles on Pop Will Eat Itself and the short-lived grebo music genre.
About an hour ago I was #listening to their second album 'Are You Normal?', which I'm pretty sure is the one I owned on cassette tape in the late 90s;
It's every bit as good as their 1994 classic Dos Dedos Mis Amigos, which included the anti-fascist anthem Ich Bin Ein Auslander. But I discovered it through another single, Everything's Cool, which was on an indie compilation I got in the late-90s.
I can't think of many TV series that have left such a lasting impression on me as Twin Peaks. (Maybe because I've re-watched it dozens of times, with morbid fascination 👀)
In the latest instalment of my listening tips, I'm sharing a number of podcasts series dedicated to the weird and magical world of Twin Peaks - if you're a fan, they are a must!
