#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 28 - A song from 1985 New Day Rising, by Hüsker Dü Have some of that! youtu.be/1YTJ807KK7I?...

#5DebutAlbums0509 Incredible debut from the brilliant David Stith (mate of Sufjan’s and top artist too) - this may be quite high on my list, as it’s one of my favourite albums of all time (spoiler alert). The Heavy Ghost Appendices album is also a must. Heavy Ghost, by DM Stith

#5DebutAlbums0509 What a fab album this is. The debut features the late Benjamin Curtis (from Secret Machines) and the Deheza sisters. Other SVIIB albums are worth checking out too. School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms.

#5DebutAlbums0509 Not only hilarious but actually a great listen. Their second album was even better. Flight Of The Conchords.

#5DebutAlbums0509 Late addition to the possibles: Low’s Alan Sparhawk and associates laying down the guitars. Still like a heavier Low really. Which is still a good thing. Retribution Gospel Choir

#sotw I Know, by Swapmeet Catchy, yes, but the guitar sounds really nice on this. youtu.be/lkA9hWpqNKw?...

#IsmuasMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 27 - A song you consider a masterpiece Frittering, by Mercury Rev Dunno why, but it’s just supernaturally perfect. youtu.be/820NtfymPhQ?...

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 27: a song from 1995 Spirit Ditch, by Sparklehorse Only gotten better over the years. Those lyrics! youtu.be/3lSfP6n8vkM?...

#OrchestralManoeuvres #MusicChallenge 26. The Blue Terror of Lawns, by Moby Despite him being a bit cancelled I still play the ‘Little Idiot’ extra cd which came with Animal Rights. Could’ve picked Dead City or Love Song For My Mom (or When It’s Cold I’d Like To Die), etc youtu.be/71ySjMZFPIo?...

#IsmuasMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge Day 26- a song that influenced other artists Debaser, by Pixies Fill in your own answers… youtu.be/XGYbYgLP1Z0?...

#MusicChallenge #IsmuasMonthofMusic Day 25: Song you associate with vinyl 24, by Red House Painters As this first song from the Down Colorful Hill album starts up, my vinyl copy has lots of needle noise - which feels such a part of the song I miss it on other versions. youtu.be/i0-FA_svTKg?...

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 24: A song from the last album you listened to Who Do I Kill, by Hater Still love this Soundgarden side project’s album. Seattle but more garage. This was the (main/first?) single; youtu.be/MFItk-zw13g?...

#OrchestralManoeuvres #MusicChallenge 23. Power, by The Weather Station A highlight from probably my favourite of Tamara’s albums. Lovely strings enter at the mid-way point. youtu.be/WrOUqC1tCrQ?...

#IsmuasMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 23 - a perfect song to sing along with Sandcastles, by Cable Ties. …especially that perfect chorus… “You don’t do anything because you know that people like you they just don’t do anything at all but tear each other down.” youtu.be/CdPU_VnC6UI?...

#DavidsMonthOfMusic #MusicChallenge 23 - A song with a emotion in the title Are You Lost, Are You Sad, by Misty Dixon Early Jane Weaver here. Love this one. youtu.be/j9tDP1BjAyY?...

Just seen the Jeff Buckley doc/film at the cinema. I thought it was beautiful, brilliant and so very sad. If it wasn’t for other people there I would’ve cried a lot. A couple of teenage girls who left in front of me met up with some other friends and when asked how was it they said “miserable” 😂😭

If you see this, post a drummer that starts with B.

#sotw Clipping, by Special Friend Another corker. Really looking forward to the album (and seeing them live) now. youtu.be/-A1STOVHeeQ?...

Storefront Church @ the Blue Basement in Third Man Records tonight. All new material - synths and mostly drums too - shaping up nicely (if quite different from Ink & Oil).
