There are, of course, 26 letters in the latin/english alphabet so how about something long the lines of:
“Everything begins with 26 letters.”
“The world is written with 26 letters.”
“With 26 letters, anything can be said.”
"Written in 26 letters"
Which reminds me of Alphabet City not only the neighbourhood in NYC but the name of the 4th album by... ABC (featuring When Smokey Sings etc). There are a couple of tunes with 26 in the title but not by folk I'm familiar with.
One of my 2025 favourites is Ambient Den's self titled debut album. It is a heady combination of Progressive, Psychedelic and Space Rock with a touch of Ambient and hints of Pink Floyd.
In memory of Ralph Towner (see @jonahpwll post on RIP).
The outstanding Jazz Rock/Fusion Oregon album from 1972, "Music of Another Present Era". Innovative and very much of its period with Interesting world music influences.
New My Morning Jacket - ALL PROCEEDS from “Peacelands,” an album of mostly unreleased, acoustic peaceful protest songs - some covers and some of my own - that we released today exclusively on @bandcamp, will go to organizations like @aclu_nationwide fighting for our safety and freedoms here at home, as well as @doctorswithoutborders and @rescueorg - organizations working hard to help heal the horrors of war and terror around the globe… working around the clock to help move us all towards “Peacelands.”
Just messing about with back up files again this morning and wondered what the heck this album was. Turns out to be yet another ever changing group of noise electronics, guitar, sampling and looping folks from Brooklyn. Two tracks in 42 minutes, allegedly an e.p.
**FIRST EVER RELEASE OF POST-CHILDREN OF THE MUSHROOM HEAVY PROG STUDIO/LIVE RECORDINGS FROM 1971**
Formed in California in 1967, Children of the Mushroom were the quintessential garage-psych band. As the times evolved, the band hardened their sound, shortening their name to Mushroom.
By 1970, Mushroom became Lady, incorporating prog-rock influences and instruments like flute to their hard-pych organ/guitar dominated sound, drawing inspiration from bands like Jethro Tull, Steamhammer, Gypsy or Bloodrock.
In 1971 the band recorded a few studio demos at Village Recorders in Los Angeles, which are presented here in top sound quality along with a couple of raw, lo-fi but killer live tracks from the same year.
Long tracks, heavy fuzz guitar, Hammond organ, flute, powerful vocals…

I was just reading a friends zine in Franks APA where he described this as good but probably for those who want to take a deep dive rather than casual fans of the genre. What a coincidence!
Combining ambient and electronic music with classical and jazz, A
Strange Loop is the cinematic debut LP from London ensemble recur.
I am finding this quite enjoyable. At times it's like a more ambient/contemplative version of Kammerflimmer Kollektief. (Did someone here post it? Can't find it with search.)
"26, 27, 28, 29, I'm gonna make your face look just like mine" - Bob Dylan, I Shall Be Free No. 10.
I must say I also rather like @Plong42's suggestion!
Reading through the thoughts on a thread name, I am happy to (i) leave the thread as-is based on @rostasi 's logic, or (ii) make a new thread if a consensus seems to emerge and coalesce round a name - so if you want it to change I need multiple people to say so. Otherwise inertia wins :-). Since the above suggestion has two voices, any other preferences for Dylan or the old name?
Really pumped to get the newest edition of Audion that has Eroc on the cover. Waited until Band-Fri to order (and give a little xtra to show appreciation too).
