One of the best singles of the year? open.spotify.com/track/60mXzh...

Tony Allen has been non-stop since he died 5 years ago.

Richard Hawley, Blackpool, Coles Corner 20th anniversary. - 2hrs+ on stage. - Best version of 'The Ocean' I've heard him play. - Never thought I'd hear 'For Your Lover Give Some Time'. - His godfather is Joe Cocker. - missed English Teacher queuing for the security checks out in the rain.

Sometimes the stars align. My favourite artist performing my favourite album in a venue like the Ballroom 👌🏻 With English Teacher supporting as well 🫠

REALLY recommend this War-On-Drugs-ish style tune from the new Milltown Brothers album out today. East Lancs forever ✌🏻 open.spotify.com/track/1PyStp...

I've changed my mind, I think THIS might be the contender for the most played 6music ever.

soul-net

My go to 'nobody else in the house' record.

I remember as a kid pressing play/pause to write down the lyrics to Divine Comedy's "National Express" (??) and wondering if I was losing my mind writing down the outro.

Enjoyable and confusing - this new CMAT album is full of bangers. open.spotify.com/track/4GFUQm...

Got to be a contender for the most played 6music song ever.

This absolutely bonkers 7min remix of Do You Want To is hittting the Friday night spot. open.spotify.com/track/0OzZst...

Finally watching the new Adam Curtis series, "Shifty", and now I don't know who or what I am.

I'm actually against the Lionesses now.

Genuinely interested in this... Who decides if the song/artist is shown on DAB? Seems like some shows on @6music.bsky.social use it, some don't. @craigcharles.bsky.social churns out banger after banger but I always miss the track.

first listen complete front to back bangers, everything that makes them great is in full effect, instantly in the conversation for Album of the Year #shoegaze

It's here 🥹 New Blankenberge album. Just one of the best modern shoegaze bands that never misses. blankenberge.bandcamp.com/album/decisi...

Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.

What a way to go out. A front row seat at your own funeral has to be up there in metal deaths.

That side two opening combo of Chain of Fools then Good To Me As I Am To You🫠

From Bleach Lab: Guys guys guys... Our EP is out at MIDNIGHT!!! So bloody excited - so much love & care has gone into it and soon it's going to be all yours

New Bleach Lab EP listening party in 27mins ⏰

Completely missed the return of Allo Darlin'. Feels like something from a different era the world has moved on so fast. Love that they're back!

🚨 new Newmoon alert 🚨 Super chilled shoegaze from one of the best around doing it. newmoonband.bandcamp.com/track/same-d...

What are they doing to us! 🥵 Kokoroko only releasing summer classics on 30 degree days. New album out today ☀️ open.spotify.com/album/7LsYc5...

This Sabbath "Back to the Beginning" gig is crazy. Heavy metal surely has the greatest concentration of absolutely unbelievable vocalists of any genre??

Gutted about this - got right up to the car park and found out it had been cancelled 30mins before. Missed a chance to see an absolute legend.

Just reading reviews about the new Simz record. I think this covers it.

So, Liz Phair? Going to see Alanis Morissette on Friday at Lytham festival and Liz Phair is supporting. My ignorance but I don't know anything about her...turns out she's a bit of a legend? What do I need to know?

Sometimes you've just got to spin the big floorfillers #nowplaying

Flowers - Durand Jones & the Indications (2025) Rare I play an album back to back but this has been going round for the past few hours. Jam packed with grooves and unashamed big fat slices of 70s soul with a bit of Barry White in there as well. #nowplaying open.spotify.com/album/7zyILG...

www.mixcloud.com/thesoundFM/i... Now That's What I Call Indiescovery! It's show #100 so Rob O'Cop looks back over 4+ years and picks out the best of the best in new indie & alternative music: Pom Poko, TV Star, Wishy, Seablite, Blushing, Mo Dotti, Dummy, Horsegirl, Cusp, Hello Mary, etc.

The best thing I've seen so far! #glastonbury25 www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002fc57

Got a smoke?

Ok Wunderhorse. I might need to rethink my opinion 🔥 #glastonbury

Modern classic.

Kokoroko releasing this smooth banger on a 30 degree Friday on the great British isles 🍹🌴☀️ open.spotify.com/track/3aWWdm...

Listening to Starmer's Manchester playlist 🔥

So, just randomly watching The Streets Glastonbury 2019 set. And is that Rob Harvey from The Music on guitar (and hype vocals(!)???

I figure Gil Scott-Heron wouldn't have been the biggest fan of the prevalence of streaming services

#NowPlaying NxWorries - Why Lawd? (2024) One of my favourite albums from last year - from Anderson .Paak and producer Knxwledge. This whole thing sounds so smooth. Worth the 8 year wait between records. "FromHere" is the standout - slow jam featuring Snoop. open.spotify.com/track/1kJK2d...

Ugh this is SO good. Just released today for all the shoegaze/dreampop obsessives. City sparks by Waving Blue. wavingblue.bandcamp.com/album/city-s...

Spotify serving me up this absolute guff in the #releaseradar playlist 🚮

YES

Love how the record finishes on a never-ending loop.

#NowPlaying Khruangbin - The Universe Smiles Upon You (2020) Silky smooth grooves.

Little Simz. Album launch gig Liverpool, 5pm start. 400 people straight from work. Wow.

How are JAMES support for Catfish and the Bottlemen???

Love this festival and the lineup looks amazing this year. Kingfish, Bobby Rush, Mavis Staples. Celebrating 75 years of Chess and B.B. King's 100th birthday. All free!

No matter what you do in life, you'll never be cooler than this kid dancing on stage with The Specials.
