Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting by the River. A single, improvised session recorded in a Santa Barbara church in 1993, winning a Grammy for Best World Music Album. Sounding huge and immersive on SACD. #MysicSky #NowSpinning #RyCooder #VMBhatt #AMeetingByTheRiver #WaterLilyAcoustics #SACD

Easing into Sunday with this hypnotic desert‑blues offering from Ali Farka Touré and Ry Cooder - Talking Timbuktu, released in 1994. Pure, room‑filling magic ✨ #MusicSky #NowPlaying #AliFarkaTouré #RyCooder #TalkingTimbuktu #DesertBlues #MalianBlues #WorldMusic #SundayListening #CompactDisc #CD

Saturday morning with Bobbi Humphrey - Blacks and Blues. A jazz-funk masterpiece by the first female instrumentalist signed to Blue Note, from 1973. This Classic Vinyl pressing sounding glorious and doing the music justice 🔥 #jazzfunk #musicsky

Serving up some French jazz‑funk from ’75 for Saturday lunchtime. Harlem Pop Trotters #nowspinning - this reissue sounding lush and properly groovy 👌 #musicsky

First play of Birding by Deary. Gorgeous dream‑pop on this Saturday morning. Their sound reminds me why I fell in love with bands like Slowdive, Cocteau Twins and Lush, while still feeling fresh and completely their own. @dearyband.bsky.social @bellaunionvinylshp.bsky.social #nowplaying #indiesky

HEY WHAT by Low. Blowing away the cobwebs today with its pure energy. Mimi’s voice cutting through the distortion is a work of beauty. Released 2021 @subpop.bsky.social #nowspinning #musicsky #Low @lowtheband.bsky.social

Thoroughly enjoyed I Swear. The reviews are certainly true - strong performances; gentle, funny, sometimes brutal, moving, and beautifully observed. One of those films that stays with you. #moviesky #filmsky #Iswear

Soothing Sunday morning vinyl: The Sundays – Blind. Dreamy indie‑pop from 1992, and this 45rpm 2‑disc 2025 pressing sounds absolutely glorious ✨ #musicsky #nowspinning #90smusic #thesundays

Floating into Sunday evening with this beautiful album — Prati bagnati del monte Analogo by Raul Lovisoni & Francesco Messina. A sublime blend of Italian minimalism and experimental ambient from 1979. Shout-out to @funkentechno.bsky.social for putting it on my radar. #AmbientSky #MusicSky

Sunday morning worship with Taj Mahal (self‑titled, 1968). Blues infused with late‑60s rock and a touch of psychedelia. Standout tracks: “Leaving Trunk”, “Statesboro Blues”, and “Checkin’ Up on My Baby.” #NowSpinning #BluesSky #MusicSky

Something to bring a bit of magic to this rainy Friday afternoon ✨ Irreparable Parables by Andrew Wasylyk #nowspinning @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social on @claypipemusic.bsky.social @dinkededition.bsky.social from @resident-music.com #musicsky

One of the coolest records in my collection; livening things up on this glorious Saturday morning 😎☀️ Sonic Youth - Goo #nowspinning #musicsky

Saturday morning with Etta James – At Last! A gorgeous 1960 album blending soul, R&B, jazz, pop and blues. #nowspinning #musicsky

Ethereal dream pop from Cocteau Twins on this cold winter evening. #nowspinning #Treasure #musicsky

Chilled morning with The Horace Silver Quintet – The Tokyo Blues. Released in 1962 on Blue Note; hard bop with Japanese and Latin influences. Upbeat yet relaxed. 🎶 #jazzsky #nowspinning

Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Bill Evans Trio 🎶 There’s good reason why this is considered one of the greatest live jazz recordings. This pressing puts me right there in the room, 1961. #jazzsky #nowspinning #vinylcommunity

My Bloody Valentine blowing the roof off, with support from J Mascis

My Bloody Valentine - total assault on the senses (in the best way possible) 🔊

Loving the latest LP from Just Mustard - We Were Just Here. Raw, eerie, and gloriously loud. Shoegaze with thunderous basslines, layered guitars, and heavenly vocals #musicsky #shoegaze

RIP Mani. This LP changed everything - the soundtrack that kicked off my teenage years, the friendships I made and the outlook on life that followed. Thank you for the groove, the basslines the spirit.

Three years since her passing and still feeling the quiet power of Mimi Parker’s voice. Low’s “Double Negative” from 2018 remains one of my most cherished records. Minimal, powerful, devastating. #LowTheBand #MimiParker

Finding time this evening to sit down and spin Public Works and Utilities by @warringtonruncorn.com - Gordon Chapman-Fox’s latest dispatch from the New Town frontier. I’ve been hooked on this series since ‘Interim Report’ dropped in 2021, and this latest LP doesn’t disappoint👌 #musicsky #nowplaying

When you discover that the bag of IKEA tealights at the back of the cupboard are from pre 1990!

🎬 One Battle After Another. Enjoyable ride with good performances and direction. Held my attention, but for me dragged a bit by the end.

A quiet Saturday morning ☀️🍂☕️ listening to Jazz Mood by Yusef Lateef. Traditional jazz blended with Eastern musical influences. #JazzSky #MusicSky #NowSpinning #YusefLateef #JazzVinyl #SavoyRecords

Sunday listening - Jutta Hip with Zoot Sims (Blue Note 1530). Sounding perfect on this October morning ☕️🍂 #jazzsky

Next up on this autumn Sunday afternoon, Lee Morgan’s ¡Caramba! 1968 Blue Note release, blending hard bop with modal and Latin rhythms. #jazzsky

Saint Etienne - International. First spin of their last. Feels appropriate listening to this in the autumn for some reason 🍂🍁 What a legacy they leave behind. @stetiennedisco.bsky.social #musicsky

Hayden Pedigo - I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away. A soothing blend of American primitive guitar, ambient textures, and psychedelic folk. Sounding magical and immersive on vinyl.
