Never here and never in a dream I wanna fly away High above the willow Stay with me a little while Never let me go It's too slow death of the ego feeling all the beauties everywhere when will you find the way to tie it to the ground fleeting thoughts so spoiled and Can't you see I'm like dust on the hillside? Move on Thank you.

And now here's another amazing discovery from the prog finder general right here on prog mill.

It was Giant Sky.

The latest album, Giant Sky 3, is now out.

And from that, that was a track called Lifting Apples, which featured Stuart Braithwaite of Mogwai on guitars as well.

Fantastic stuff.

She recorded the audio diaries.

For once on Facebook she posted, um, a article that Stuart Braithwaite, the, um, guitarist and lead of the band Mogwai, had posted about the importance of record shops over buying records on the internet.

And I sort of read the article and then maybe posted something on her Facebook page going, "Yeah, well, I'm not sure I entirely agree with him," sort of thing.

And then Stuart Braithwaite, who I didn't realize was her son-in-law-

Huh

... responded to me with, like, basically-

"Buy records or I'll cut you." [laughs]

[laughs] Buy LPs.
