Old friends reunited #Friendsagain 1 week to go before the most talked about and anticipated gigs in Glasgow for many many years, unfortunately for me due to illness I won't be able to make it gutted is an understatement 😟 so my 2 tickets are now for sale, anyone interested get in touch via a DM

Fascinating article on #TomVerlaine www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/a...

Overblown and messy, but an accurate manifesto nonetheless. Motorcycle Emptiness’s magnificence only serves to diminish the remaining 70 mins… #5debutalbums9094

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and the band or artist. Skids - Nov 1979

Major contender #5debutalbums9094 - quality of songs and track sequencing means you *must* listen through

This lot only released two albums - while the latter ‘Snow Job’ has greater punch and identity, this debut arguably a richer blend of two all time great artists, and a more diverse song collection #5debutalbums9094

Cynical, self-mocking glam packed with killer choons #5debutalbums9094

Fav Bass Players, top 10, off the top of my noggin Steve Kilbey Paul Raven Peter Hook Kim Gordon Barry Adamson Derek Forbes Kim Deal Paul Simonon Graham Bailey Dominic Aitchison

A jazz punk masterpiece. From the grimy melancholy of Right as Rain to the Semtex device of Suds n Soda, an inspired debut that embarrassed what was left of the Uk music press. #5debutalbums9094

Stapled into the shoegaze genre but goes across and beyond that scope, from the indiedance Breather to psychstomp Autosleeper to stratospheric April #5debutalbums9094

A grim, but strangely uplifting, slice of in your face South London life #5debutalbums9094

Who are your top 10 all time favourite guitarists? Real quick off the top of my head… John McGeoch Peter Koppes John Ashton Kristin Hersh Marty Willson-Piper Thurston Moore Kelley Deal J Macsis Glenn Bennie James Dean Bradfield

Rushing in late Nov, this banger #5albums25

I’m guessing this doesn’t make the cut as reissue @richards7370.bsky.social ? But deserves an audience in any case for the brilliant duo, finally seeing an album release #5albums25

Compelling return - harks back to their pomp with crackly edges #5albums25

I was lucky enough to visit Newgrange last month, oriented around today’s #wintersolstice over 5000 years ago…

A mere 40 years after their previous album, a dropped vowel and one remaining member, but worth it all… #5albums25

Some suggestions #5debutalbums1014

Drop something WHITE 🤍

Repost with an iconic fictional band

If you see this, post an album with a motor vehicle on it

Quote with your favourite film & album from the year you were born

First recommend #5debutalbums1014 has to be Protomartyr’s *All passion no technique* post punk meets Detroit beat poetry. Highlights ‘how he lived after he died’ and ‘feral cats’

Never struggled like this before, shortlist keeps getting longer! #5debutalbums8084

Mad punk/glam debut from the not-so-super-group, a brilliant collection of songs #5debutalbums8084

One of the many albums in the #5debutalbums8084 category that I listen to at least weekly. A rich, atmospheric and innovative masterpiece

Not only their debut but an entirely different sound, even genre, from the post Ross band. Nick Launay’s production debut, I think? #5debutalbums8084

Greater glory was to follow, but a barnstorming debut #5debutalbums8084

Glorious debut (and only) self titled album from this Stirling band, no filler and every track is pop with depth #5debutalbums8084

Choon!
