Legend.
Today is a school day
Only 4 years difference as well!
Have had ‘The Car’ from the Arctic Monkey’s on repeat this week, what a great album, was a huge fan of Tranquillity Bay, so this is a massive step up on that
Amazon offering 3 months free Music, not sure if relevant here or elsewhere.
It seems a bit like the DFS sale, its always on sale, amazon always seem to be giving away x months to get people to join.
New songs from boygenuis - band comprised of Jullien Baker, Phoebe Bridger and Lucy Dacus. Highly recommend
Yazoo were brilliant, and Alison’s debut “Alf” is sublime. Managed to pick up the 12" of “Invisible” last time I was in LA, with the extended mix on it
For my money, it’s those two Yazoo records that contain Vince Clarke’s finest work (although a few Erasure songs are up there too!)
I was fortunate back in the day to have seen Yazoo perform at Leeds University’s Union building and they were superb.
Alison’s own ’ Love Resurrection’ (1983 or maybe 1984?) remains one of my all time favourites. Good video too.
Picked up American Utopia recently for one of my friends and since I’ve been in a bit of a Talking Heads binge.
Well, catching up on…
Time’s Arrow is superb - a major evolution of sounds from Ladytron (not Velocifero level, but an admirable release). But…
Momento Mori is quite simply beyond belief. Absolutely incredible. If (a) You’re a DM fan, and (b) skip ‘Caroline’s Monkey’. Jaw-dropping. Maybe I’m getting older and subject to the mortality vibes, but it’s one hell of an album.
‘Soul With Me’ ear-worm. Won’t sleep tonight.
At the moment I’m mostly listening to the demo mixes of my new bands debut EP which should come out later this year! I’m biased, but I think it’s some of my best songwriting and production.
Now there’s a band I never expected to see on here….
Lunar Sea live really is something else
Currently diving into Apple Music Classical at the moment, been more and more curious about Classical since lock down, and now can try and learn a bit
