The Shangri-Las, 1964.

Imperial dub / reggae phase still going strong. May never end (hopefully)

Listening to the Bob Marley Trojan compilation Rasta Revolution. This sounds like Serge Gainsbourg had a hand in proceedings...well to me it does. youtu.be/525TscClHwo?...

Remembering Desmond Dekker on his birthday

From the The Castle-the Arthur Lee & Love fanzine #5, the Vindicator issue, 1994.

Solitary 10 quid pick up on way home from work. Never heard this before today but artwork convinced me to take a chance and absolutely no regrets. It’s flippin’ ace Gregory Isaacs - Slum In Dub (1978)

i thought maybe i was hearing Rod Argent, but idk. Anyway THIS tiny little snippet of an album track remains my favorite thing by The Coral and its a shame it wasn't ever expanded on. Spanish Main is stunning. I wish there was more that 1:54 of it. Someone please inform them of my suggestion.

Fred Neil - s/t (1966)

Was nice to be a guest on this and not worry about the hosting responsibilities. Thanks to Dan and John for allowing me to join their dynamic duo to reminisce about a very special season for all of us. Really enjoyed this. Allez, Allez... Gérard Houllier!

Desde que salió hace mes y medio, estoy gozándome mucho el último álbum de The Coral. Pop-rock con sonido añejo, analógico, voces saturadas con un punto soulero y mucha, mucha, influencia del rocksteady y el reggae. Y esos coros...Maravilla. youtu.be/9Dw4urQF_5Y?...

Et sinon, la nouveauté du jour: mon disque de l'été. #NowSpinning #VinylSky The Coral - 388 (2026)

Les chansons sont parfaites (on s’en doutait avec eux) mais ce qui fait la différence ici c’est cette production vintage et ces couleurs rocksteady. Le disque idéal pour votre été ! #NowPlaying

Sunday morning coming down. New album 388 from the Coral is wonderful. Sounds great on record too. #vinylsky @jamesskelly.bsky.social @thecoral.bsky.social

I loved doing this. We talked at length about 1968, the Kinks, the Beatles and the Chris Shakespeare Globe Show. God save @chrisshaweditor.bsky.social for preserving the old ways from being abused. 🙏

Gorgeous. Recorded version here

the new Coral album 388 is bloody great

Robbo over Trent in the Liverpool's Greatest. Love it. Some will says its 'pettiness' for better or worse. It isn't. Greatness encompasses different things than playing brilliance. Explored that here when writing about a fella destined for the top five. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Someone from work recommended I listened to Brooke Combe & watch her doc making her debut album 'Dancing at the Edge of the World' (2025). The moment James Skelly (from The Coral + producer in his own right) popped on the screen & started talking so candidly, I was 100% sold on her & the album.

Fresh from dropping their new album '388' in May, @thecoral.bsky.social have announced they'll be supporting it with a UK tour this October, scheduled around their HUGE support slot for The Mary Wallopers. Grab tickets 9:30am Friday 👉 tinyurl.com/3avfyr3b

#nowplaying Maintaining the mood set by the @thecoral.bsky.social album.

Merseyside rock band The Coral have confirmed a run of six headline dates for October, alongside three arena supports with The Mary Wallopers, following the low-key release of their thirteenth album 388 last month.

Share a TV show you love from the 2020s. 🖤📺 My choice:

Music afternoon. Another Coral, but turns out it's from before Invisible Invasion - a crime against chronology. M would tut. Anyway, Nightfreak & the Sons of Becker. Lo-fi neo-psychedelia apparently. A concept album about Boris Becker. It does have a different feel to their other albums.

The new drum skin looks fantastic! I love the pairing with the Liverpool scarf too. 😊❤️

The new 388 drum skin is looking good for @thecoral.bsky.social festival season.
