#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 23. Midlake - Head Home This entire album is quite piano heavy, but I've opted for Head Home with its rolling piano part that drives the song forward to such great effect.

Shaking Hand with a really good cover of Badly Drawn Boy's 'The Shining' .... released today. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The new album from Sap released today. Much like their previous offering, it sounds like they're trying to recreate the early 90s grunge sound. Specifically, they sound like they're trying to sound like Nirvana, and they do. So if you want to listen to a modern album that sounds like Nirvana ....

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 22. Josh Rouse - Sad Eyes Probably my favourite Josh Rouse song on what is probably my favourite Josh Rouse album. Just him and a piano, before the song springs into such a wonderful finale.

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 21. The Webb Brothers - I Can't Believe You're Gone Jimmy's lads came up trumps with this album, and this song in particular stands out, with it's piano driven 1970s inspired grandiosity.

Last week's streaming stats. A cameo for my eldest's favourite song at the mo!

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 20. Wolf Alice - The Last Man on Earth Such a beautiful, sparse & intimate piano ballad, before exploding into a cinematic, orchestral anthem.

We've had our last Sunday Dinner of the season (I've made an executive decision!) today. Cracking the BBQ out tomorrow. It'll be potato salads and kebabs from this point on (until October!).

What a second half performance from #NFFC ... In complete contrast to the dire 1st half. Morgan Gibbs-White, take a bow! 3 massive points to increase the gap! You Reedddsss 🥳

Amazon are it again. No clue what CD I bought to give them this idea 🙄😅

#CoversSunday My Chemical Romance / The Used - Under Pressure Recorded to raise money for tsunami relief in 2005, and they did a stunning job of covering this classic. I went on holiday to Khao Lak which was hit so hard by the tsunami ... lovely place! music.youtube.com/watch?v=ksba...

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 19. Les Rythmes Digitales - Sometimes As close to synth-pop as I'm ever gonna get.

The kids put on a show for us today. They've been rehearsing for a couple weeks ... a trampoline dance kinda thing. It was £1 entry, or £2 for VIP tickets, which entitled you to a comfier seat and free crisps. During the intermission there was food options, although I passed on Easter eggs at £10.

#NowPlaying Needed an emo hit ...

#Last4Albums Greet Death, Teen Suicide, Die Spitz, Nine Inch Noize Getting all the chores out the way so I can sit around and do sweet FA for the rest of the weekend, edition.

Happy 26th birthday to the extraordinary Figure 8 🎉 Possibly the most influential album in my musical life!

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 18. Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Vanessa From Queens A song that has an organ as a backbone.

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 17. Iron & Wine - Godless Brother In Love One of the more piano-centric songs in Sam Beam's entire catalogue. One of the highlights of this album (which really matches my chair!) too.

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 16. The Killers - Glamorous Indie Rock & Roll I couldn't not include this song in this challenge, it was literally the first one I thought of. Such a belter, one of my fave tunes of the 00s!

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 14. Grand Drive - Wheels There are certainly more obvious #SweetKeys moments on this album, but I'm opting for the album opener with its organ intro, just cos I like the song so much!

I forget about 21 Pilots. I listened to this album relentlessly in 2014, whilst my youngest was brewing. Surprised she didn't pop out singing it back!

#SweetKeys #MusicChallenge #InNoParticularOrder 11. Fionn Regan - Vodka Sorrow Fionn ditches his guitar on this haunting piano driven track. Pretty sure he used to close out his gigs with this one.
