A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

back in the early mid 90s an overnight FMU DJ, possibly filling in, played the entirety of both Feral Pop Frenzy (Sarah 614), and the entirety of Stephen Duffy's Music in Colors saying they were albums that were great conceptual wholes, which is true, though he might have just been buying time at 3 am. I think I also heard all of Poor Fricky (Sarah 621) on FMU back then, maybe not all at once, great label, Sarah.

rumor has it jackie has laid eggs in late march before with a successful hatch... so its still possible!

i found some tender reflections on cycles of nature on the FOBBV facebook page:

"As a biologist, watching human as well as animal behavior, I know that sometimes when we worry, we tend to get upset with the people and things around us. Or to want to blame somethingā€¦because thatā€™s easier than feeling what is happening inside, especially sadness.
Please allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling. When you feel it, it can dissolve.
And in the meantime, we will watch what is happening in natureā€¦
Jackie and Shadow have not given up on anything and continue their dedicated egg care."
Avatar 10:27am
bixa (š˜£š˜¦š˜¦-š˜©š˜¢):

"As of today, there has been no confirmed pips in any of the eggs. This is later than Jackieā€™s eggs have hatched in the past, so it is probably unlikely for them to hatch at this pointā€¦but as someone pointed out to me, miracles do happen.

It is not a matter of ā€˜giving upā€™, it is simply a matter of taking what is in front of us and moving forwardā€¦just the way Jackie and Shadow do.

With the nest camera, we are all simply observers of their everyday journey. We can feel sad that things do not seem to be working out the way we had hoped or for the dissolving of expectations we had for what was to come.

Jackie and Shadow and their
journey are still here. They continue doing what they do bestā€¦being eagles and taking care of what they have in front of them in each moment.

At this point, they are both caring for the eggs, switching places, arguing over whoā€™s turn it is and being gentle and tender both with the eggs and with each other."

Thank you Trouble, loved this author talk, and hearing about new-to-me Sarah Records. Sad it's over!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:07am
Gaylord Fields:

When I was a youngish US Sarah-phile in the early 90s, I would read reviews of the bands being slammed in the NME after I'd already heard the songs being criticized. And being fortunate enough to hear the actual singles before the reviews allowed me to make up my own mind about both Sarah and the UK music press establishment.

Steven Wells was a nice guy, I met him. I liked the fact that the record reviews were their own thing and I sometimes bought records that got ripped apart. But I get that it must have hurt as a publisher. Good interview, thanks!

Let me know if you do. I was able to find a fun and supportive indiepop subcommunity in 90s NYC, which mostly dispersed when they all went off to college. Occasionally, there are still Chickfactor shows once every five years or so in NYC, Portland and London.

Hi Gaylord, yeah I'm thinking more and more that I need to do something to get us all together. It's really lonely to be collecting all these obscure 80s/90s 45s etc. and not have a local community to share in the excitement and discovery.
