I don't think I'll ever really get over how unbelievably crushing the line "oh mother I can feel the soil falling over my head" is.

Kelly Finnigan and Colemine always put out the best creamy smooth Christmas tunes. Here's another one this year 🎄 open.spotify.com/track/1KszNL...

This is absolutely the real deal int it? Had it on repeat since Friday and it gets better with every spin. Can't remember being as blown away by an album in years. doveellis.bandcamp.com/album/blizzard

The 4th annual Starsailors Shoegaze and Dreampop compilation has just dropped 🔥 Name your price and always good for a few under the radar gems. First glance and we've got Prepare My Glider, bloom effect, Dramamine, Rainsong, Sugar for the Pill 🥵 starsailorscomp.bandcamp.com/album/star-s...

I can finally moan about being old.

I didn't wake up thinking I needed a shoegaze version of an absolute pop classic but that's what I got from @dkfm.bsky.social 🫡 open.spotify.com/track/4IuGPr...

One of the best moments in music (and documentary) history. The return of the Stone Roses, Shane Meadows looking at the crowd and mouthing "f*cking hell", Mani bouncing on stage & punching the air and then THAT bassline. RIP to a legend of a fella

I remember the first time I heard Workers Song just a few years ago and it completely blew me away. The power, the voice, the playing and the words. Shameful that this music gets held hostage by a faceless corporation.

Absolutely delighted we're burning up the land to let machines be creative and happy for us.

Just all so depressing. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The warm down comes courtesy of this beauty from earlier in the year. Hannah Cohen - Earthstar Mountain #nowplaying open.spotify.com/album/29Nwfb...

Soundtracking today's long run was the Peruvian shoegaze band, Los Membrillos. Got this from KEXP's In Our Headphones - classic first wave shoegaze sound. Los Pajaritos (The Little Birds) a highlight - the guitars build to sound like a flock of birds. losmembrillos.bandcamp.com/album/distimia

Just a reminder to always check your scarecrows for kidnapping victims. Mostly applies to residents of Royston Vasey.

Interesting Guardian article on the new Spotify alternatives. I really like the idea from Cantilever to have a limited number of albums to listen to at any one time. Slows it down and gives time for proper listening. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

Took my one year old to a babies and toddler group at the library this morning. Half way through, we 'observed' a two minute silence for Armistice Day. It was ambitious 😬

Normally I’m suspicious of re-releases, but this new Khruangbin album is so good. Re-recording and releasing their debut exactly 10 years on with everything they've learned in the past decade. Really light but still with that proper groove. #nowplaying open.spotify.com/album/45ZWDM...

@dkfm.bsky.social spinning an shogaze all-timer. Sometimes shogaze all sounds the same but sometimes it can sound like this. indoorvoices.com/track/flakey

Every now and again, we just need a new Whitney album to cleanse the soul. Out today, this sounds as good as they've ever been. open.spotify.com/album/0DV7El...

It's been about 15 years since I first watched it but I'm still not over the original Funny Games.

The 'sexy vampire on the dancefloor scene' in question. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4qv...

So is this a good song or a bad song? 🎃 Watched Fright Night for the first time last night and had it on repeat since. Don't know if it's a guilty pleasure or a genuine banger. spotify.link/WkOCZNt7UXb

Transcendental stuff.

"What is egregious?"

www.mixcloud.com/thesoundFM/i... Indiescovery #108 plays the best cover versions of the best tracks of all time! The 1st hour is all Beatles, with artists ranging from Medicine & Chapterhouse to Nancy Sinatra & Aretha Franklin. The 2nd hour, The Cure & Radiohead covering Joy Division, & lots more!

One of my favourite albums of the past few years. Blómi by Susanne Sundfør.

Just started training for a race for the first time in a few years and started to struggle on the long run this morning. Shortened the stride, slowed the pace and hit the emergency Blankenberge button and floated home ☁️ blankenberge.bandcamp.com/album/decisi...

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Today marks the start of the annual 'finally listen to the Mercury award nominee albums for the first time the day after it's been awarded'.

RIP D'Angelo, the greatest singer since Marvin departed. Who took the grit & attitude of hip-hop & alchemized it into angelic voodoo. He condensed the human condition - sex, suffering, addiction, love, oppression - into pure transcendence. A comet emitting blinding light & soul.

White Flowers first release in 3 (?) years! New single out today - Tear. Lancashire's own shoegaze champions, back on a new label and with a slightly more electronic dancey sound it seems. open.spotify.com/track/3CSx5s...

Cannot stop listening to this new EP from Argentine/English, Canada-based Bloom Effect. Perfect mix of melodic shoegaze & dream pop. bloomeffect.bandcamp.com/album/oscil-n

Watched Weapons the other night, didn't think that much of it but it featured this stone cold heartbreaker 💔 open.spotify.com/track/2ZhfVf...

Red Rum Club, Albert Hall Manchester. Wow. One of the best shows and crowd I've ever seen. Incredible night.

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
