Planning underway for my first #ArtistFave15 in March. Cocteau Twins from their Heaven or Las Vegas album onwards 🎶 🎶 Inspired by @shirleystrange.bsky.social Wild Swans 15.

I think it's about six months since I last saw this mentioned on here. Does anyone have any information as to when it may be available to watch in the UK? 🙏 Lost Angel - The Genius of Judee Sill

#NP Self titled 1976 debut from Swedish band Ragnarök Instrumental prog folk may not to everyone's liking but it's been on my wants list for a while Apart from a South Korean repress in '93, it didn't reappear until 2019 when a 500 reissue was released followed by a second 300 reissue in 2022 🎶 🇸🇪

Morning #weekendsingles, it's yet another wet February day here 🌧️ 🌧️ Here's three recent finds, two lovely Françoise Hardy 7's & a Chris Bell split tribute single from The Posies / Gigolo Aunts 🎶 🎶 #musicsky 🎶

#NP New half-speed master of Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden 🎶🦋 If you follow me you'll know this is my favourite album A decent pressing but has noise between tracks & was presented inside a card insert🤦 It deserved better but remains the most beautiful music I've heard #albumalmanac #weekendsingles

Good morning #weekendsingles following @jimmyviz.bsky.social theme of album tracks that should have been singles! "Days" from the second Television album "Adventure" Also chosen in memory of the bands brilliant bassist Fred Smith who sadly died yesterday #albumalmanac @punkandnewwave.bsky.social

Sunday evening's here already...

Good morning. Mabel has already decided that it's not a day to be outside 🌧️💨 #cats #CatsOfBlueSky

Good morning #weekendsingles gang. Here's six 7's from the last fifteen years of Record Store Day 🎶 #musicsky #vinylsky

This pair of gems finally arrived today from the US. Looking forward to giving these new pressings a listen over the weekend 🎶🎸 @punkandnewwave.bsky.social @scotspostpunk.bsky.social #musicsky #albumalmanac

We have a day at Latitude most years & my daughter has been pushing for the Sunday this year as Lewis Capaldi is headlining 😑 Imagine my relief today when The Flaming Lips, Undertones, Saint Etienne, English Teacher and Peter Hook & the Light have been added to Sunday's list of acts 🎶😉

#NP When an LP starts with a track that's as ambitious & exciting as "Station to Station" but it doesn't overshadow what follows you know you're listening to a very special record! 50 years old & still absolutely essential! 🎶💥 #musicsky #albumalmanac #bowieforever @punkandnewwave.bsky.social

Mabel is fascinated by the Badgers on Winterwatch 📺 #winterwatch #BBC2

Jean Seberg

Tonight's viewing 📺 Ellis Park "A film about life, music and connection" A personal insight into the world of Warren Ellis and his wildlife sanctuary project in the forests of Sumatra. Intimate, heartwarming and at times heartbreaking, highly recommended.

As it's Françoise Hardy's birthday today I updated an article on French Girl Pop that I did for Into Creative a few years ago. grantmcphee.substack.com/p/french-gir... #francoisehardy
