#MusicSky #bestof2025 #NowPlaying 1. Pulp - More An album I never thought we'd get, and what a pleasant surprise that it's a truly fantastic album, up there with their best work. So good to have them back

#MusicSky #bestof2025 #NowPlaying 2. Mogwai- The Bad Fire The most consistently brilliant band of the last 30 years? Quiet possibly. They literally never disappointed

#MusicSky #bestof2025 #NowPlaying 3. Deftones - Private Music Too early to say if it's their best album, but bands on their 10th album aren't supposed to sound this good - a total triumph

#MusicSky #bestof2025 #NowPlaying 4. Sharon Van Etten - Sharon Van Etten & The Attachment Theory Her first album where the band played a big part in the writing and recording, and it works so well, almost 80s goth in places. Trouble is my favourite song of the year

#MusicSky #bestof2025 #NowPlaying 5. Stereolab - Instant Holograms on Metal Film An absolutely joyous album, so creative, a phenomenal band that I've only gotten into this year - better late than never!

#top15albums25 #AOTY25 #5albums25 Albums I've bought in 2025. Bit of a mixed year, some real disappointments (Manics, Wolf Alice, No Joy), but there are about 10 that I absolutely love

#NowPlaying #vinylcommunity So happy that Chapterhouse are playing their first ever Irish gig next year, tickets secured, can't wait

Great gig last night in Dublin, Drink the Sea - new supergroup featuring Peter Buck, Barrett Martin, Duke Garwood, Alain Johannes, Abbey Blackwell and Lisette Garcia, amazing to see such world class musicians up close
