Wonderful vocal harmonies and great rhythms. The title track is a classic for a reason In classic Jamaican style there’s multiple release dates, track listings, titles and cover art… #5debutalbums7579

While I’ve been enjoying Arsenal’s recent collapse almost as much as the Spurs one, the fact it’s going to hand the title to this bunch of human-rights abusing, sportswashing cheats is less fun

This afternoon’s been fun

Annoyingly fell for the red herring Connections Puzzle #1042 🟨🟩🟪🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩

And #5debutalbums7579 gets even more complicated by this arriving. (Fairly sure I saw a post from @richards7370.bsky.social saying it counted, but as search is borked again I can’t find it)

One of my favourite discoveries of the original 5 albums project (h/t @doob76.bsky.social if I remember correctly). Fantastic Augustus Pablo production and a singer who could have achieved so much #5debutalbums7579

"Haven't made love for a while it's the best way to make a child," said Jesus to the disciples. And then he said, "if you can't shift this crate of brillo pads by Friday, vengeance will be mine."

Bit of an obvious one, and the praise for records like this can get a bit wearing. Then I play it and, fuck me what an amazing album it is #5debutalbums7579

Tonight’s offerings #5debutalbums7579

Amazing music from Colin Stetson & Dal:um in Birmingham last night. Don’t understand much about the how, but what resulted from both was glorious No pics allowed but I did capture the massive instruments on stage beforehand

Avril 14th by Aphex Twin. Cheers. Love u.

Another one that could very likely be in my final 5 #5debutalbums7579

Got a very good chance of making my final 5 #5debutalbums7579

Winners of the worst attended pub quiz in history! 🍻

Not got many German options for this period, but this is a fantastic record #5debutalbums7579

As good a record as ever came out of Brum #5debutalbums7579

So many reggae options for #5debutalbums7579 as well as the post-punk and various other bits. Going to be an impossible if hugely enjoyable choice. Kicking off with this

Didn’t happen - good for them!

Got a 9am call today with colleagues in Budapest. Not convinced they’ll be in a fit state for anything

Much needed

Can’t remember the last time I sacked a game off so early. Absolutely shocking performance

For the last time this season

“As I dictated my autobiography to my biographer When I heard this tune My title was "Renegade Genius" But was interrupted much too soon” #FallFriday

Liking this one loads.

First really nice evening of the year so am I a) sat in a beer garden with a pint; b) on a nice walk in the countryside; c) working up a sweat demolishing a manky old rabbit hutch?

Way behind on my #5debutalbums1519 listening so need to crack on this week - this will almost certainly be in my 5

A fine day only spoilt by 10 minutes of stupid football.

Blue skies and excellent pubs in Swindon

Using Spotify is just as bad as using X, in some aspects, even more consequential: Spotify is actively killing music, not just exploiting musicians. All other streaming platforms are better, and have as wide a choice. Migrating your playlists is dead easy. Please leave that evil platform - now.

Chris Woakes bowling for Warwickshire in very overcast conditions- should be fun. Happy first day of the county championship 🏏

Starting off the long weekend right with Prolapse (who I’d somehow never seen before)

“They never wanted to let his action down But also they wanted it sublime Sheffieldism and equality equally He was always in the middle for him” #FallFriday

The Ash one is fine but there’s not many records that’ll have a chance against Time (The Revelator).

The Langley Schools record is a bit too long, and since it came out the sheer volume of school music shows I’ve been too has tainted it slightly. But the version of Desperado alone is worth a vote

This lady is a national hero ❤️❤️❤️

Magical stuff from Soundway as usual

FFS Italy. Another reason not to bother with the WC this year

Fantastic news!

#5debutalbums1519 Are we counting this as the debut? Or is it classed as a mixtape (despite clearly being an album)? Either way it’s wonderful

I love this Roots album enormously, and it’s an easy choice over the worst Nick Cave record
