A decent Bob Mould album, but a great Jungle Brothers one. Decent chance of an upset here I reckon

The apex of Japanese cinema.

There’s no way this game is finishing without another red (assuming it does actually finish)

That was loads of fun. 2 amazing strikes from our centre back, a torrential downpour, a second half spell where we could have scored six, and an entertaining cameo from Uncle Albert. “4-2 to the bottle jobs”

Need to go to the football soon, so someone has made themselves comfortable

Liking this. Although tbh a collaboration between this pair was always likely to be decent

Hell yes 🙌 “Shockin' your ass like a faulty vibrator”

Was hooked from the very first note I heard, and this still sounds completely unique and wonderful. A certainty for #5debutalbums0004

“I believe there's a new drug out It's called speed I wrote a song about it Conceptually a la Bowie But it's been lost in the bowels of the record company By our manager” #FallFriday

Not even sure if this counts for #5debutalbums0004, as I’ve seen their previous record described as an EP, mini-album and album in various places. Always worth a play anyway, as it’s fantastic - I might even prefer it to Spiderland. Worth a bastard fortune these days too

She’s got very little chance, but I’m Team Kirsty all day long

Fantastic game of cricket at The Oval, with some wonderful bowling by Josh Tongue at the end. As a confirmed NotSurrey fan, couldn’t be happier for Notts

Another singing weekend with The Unthanks booked! 🎶 🍻 🍲 🍷 🎶

looking forward to a performance from headliner James_Brown_Shaft.mp3

A fine soundtrack to tonight’s cooking.

Missed out on the EP the other week so made sure of getting this one

An 8-piece Scouse band named after a Beefheart song and with a former Mother of Invention on occasional vocals are only going to sound like one thing. Except they really didn’t. Very strong contender #5debutalbums0004 youtu.be/Cc7gGBI50Dg?...

It’s not a bad Dylan record, but come on - got to be Paul’s Boutique. An all-time classic

Research for #5debutalbums0004 leads to me discovering that not only has Nina Nastasia’s amazing “Dogs” been recently reissued, but she’s also put out an album this year that totally passed me by. @richards7370.bsky.social - costing me money since 2020 😁

Ok, back on the 5 albums beat. Quick look at the old spreadsheet gives me these as a starter, but I’m sure there’s plenty more worth considering #5debutalbums0004

A stupid score by england here. 100 off 39 balls 😳

After several days where I didn’t really care for either record, this is an easy pick for Lou

Been playing this a lot lately

He’s been in a bit of rut over the last few records so good to hear something different. On first listen might be his best since Prince Of Tears “I don’t want to say it’s contemporary, because I sound like a cunt saying that word. But it does sound really contemporary” 😆

This is nuts. He’s not a statesman. They don’t make a statement every time a civilian is murdered in a foreign country. They’re commenting because he was an ultra right wing bigot and they’re scrambling to look like they condone that

Possibly the worst shortlist they’ve ever done. There’s usually at least 2/3 I quite like but not this time. Anyway, Martin Carthy FTW

Sorry we've not written. My hands have not become any better & Gertie picked up a very disagreeable virus. Our Home Help has been off with bad bites (mosquito). There is very little news.

On the early train again. #NowPlaying

Glad I’d ordered the latest IA bundle now this is included

Haven’t seen this for a while @craighamilton.bsky.social. Gave it a go and quite impressed with myself

I like this Beautiful South record, just nowhere near as much as I like the Julee Cruise one

This game’s going to be over very quickly. Archer looks unplayable
