Care of @stevewlauden.bsky.social

Thank you for including me in this list of heroes, legends and friends. God bless you!

Blimey what a rogues gallery!

It’s extremely kind of you to list me here, Wally, when you’re the one I owe much thanks to. Looking forward to this and what more is in store for the beautiful music 💜

Proud to be one of the many bands to contribute to this Ed Ball tribute compilation on The Beautiful Music label- it’s a double CD with over 40 songs and it’s a real labour of love from Wally, @wallytbm.bsky.social the label boss 👏👏👏👏

C86 Show 5pm Saturday futureradio.co.uk join David Eastaugh for the best in 80s indie pop @illegibles.bsky.social @teamcherry.bsky.social @wallytbm.bsky.social @indieover40.bsky.social @indiepophalloffame.bsky.social

#5DebutAlbums2026 Goodbye Wudaokou “Mirror Skies”. From the north-west (of England), a debut of heartfelt songcraft and nascent beauty on YaoYiZhen. Think there were barely 20 copies of this, but luckily it was subsequently reissued by the ever-prolific Subjangle!

Show 26 of Fresh Ingredients approaches: 7pm tomorrow at untidyradio.com. Contains a LOT of storytelling about my ill cat & songs from @firestations.bsky.social, @lindamariesmith55.bsky.social, Special Friend, Graham Coxon, Baker's Island, Brighter, @voxtrot.bandcamp.com, Love Burns,Traams & more.

Superb!!

Absolutely love this 😀

Lots of great stuff here!

New single from Mode! File under power pop/jangle modebandadelaide.bandcamp.com/track/strang...

Delighted to have received advance copy of this. Such a thoughtfully, lovingly compiled piece of art it is, from cover to music via notes and tributes. 10/10. Thank you Wally! An unsung hero for a generation.

This band gets mentioned often in relation to my band. They are an influence, hearing it in the days of my youth, and this album is perfect. #cdfriday

another interview to check out, with 5 album recommendations too... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XUu...

Few bands impacted me as much, and right away, as the first time I listened to The Reds, Pinks & Purples. I love the melancholy humor that infuses the lyrics of @glenndonaldson.bsky.social’s songs and his interview with Brooklyn Vegan is a fantastic listen www.brooklynvegan.com/the-reds-pin...

And per @quartzcity.bsky.social we have the Bandcamp page for this new archive release up:

Looking forward to this tribute … Count me in for some copies … Thanks a lot for including my name in this distinguished list of the indie pop / Beautiful Music community.

Brilliant band & I’ve got you to thank for helping me discover them😊🍻🎶👊😎

And if your name is in the credits, that means we love you and you have been a great support and sorry to those we missed

Ahead of next weekend's The Fall : Futures And Pasts jamboree in Manchester, here's a reminder that every home should have one of these. C.R.E.E.P. opening the MBRS buff.ly/rya9Qo0

A high point of Western civilization, as we all know. Now on the MB Record Show. Nice bit in the Guardian this week about its creation. Read all about it ....https://buff.ly/tqBkHCG Hear all about it buff.ly/rya9Qo0

Paul and John were also the tallest. It came as a shock to George. Sgt Pepper LHCB was released this week in 1967. It stormed into the LP charts at number 8. A Day In The Life now on the MB Record Show, as the disc jockey feels it's not heard enough on the radio. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

I think there were several necks this week which were getting dirty and gritty. What a record. Brought to you by the folks that did Daydream. And brought to you by Cherry Red in a seven disc box set which came out a couple of months back. And brought to the radio by the MBRS. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

Second only to The Ramones in their field, said Rolling Stone this week

Power Pop Hall Of Famers, I have read. The Spongetones. They've been around this and several other blocks. But still sound good. (I Really Need) To Kiss You sounding tip top on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!! We're The House Of All. The best successor band since.... Prolific gits, all. Magic Sound , an early HOA classic, now on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

On the subject of Eel Pie Island, I HIGHLY recommend this book. A curated collection of reminicences about the Hotel, the narrow bridge bands had to carry equipment over, etc, it is a facinating history.

Shadow Shadow Shadow My heart's in the shadow His heart's in the shadow. The Lurkers' Shadow Is on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

I'd forgotten how great this one is. Leiber & Stoller meet The Coasters. The Shadow Knows. Now on the radio round here. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

Coming very soon ...

X-Ray Spex. Very easily transported when it came to their tours. Germ Free Adolescents, the song, now on the MB Record Show. Germ Free Adolescents, the LP, is still a work of art. buff.ly/rya9Qo0

Thanks to @wallytbm.bsky.social for sending me these beautiful things, I have enough for a few listens. #CDFriday #MusicSky #NowPlaying

Thanks, Wendy, that is up their with our best-ever reviews. Really heartening to hear people getting into the music after such a long spell absent.

Thank you, Steve, glad to hear it’s up your street.

Thanks @wallytbm.bsky.social and @birdynumnum.bsky.social - really appreciated 👍
