My daughter stated “those record covers look similar”. Has this been discussed before?

Anyone else picked a copy of the new Bowie book up?

#NowPlaying I thought I would give this Die Spitz (2025) debut album a listen as it made quite a few people’s lists. 🎸 👌🏼 👍🏼https://open.spotify.com/album/2njlELTfA1tcJ7LnE2855T?si=CFsPUsP-SK-ntkH7AigNzQ

A couple of English #whisky bottles gifted to me this Christmas. Both excellent drams 🥃👍🏼

Eat cheese, almost 12months on missed you so much #ButtonChops

Cast your mind back…during 2000-2005 you were probably downloading from piratebay (or similar) on a 53-56kbs modem 👀 😩 🤣

I was travelling on a down escalator, whilst Richard Whiteley was travelling on an up escalator on the tube.

I ate a McD’s cheeseburger sat opposite Rick Witter (Shed Seven) in York

I’m just dredging through my musical memories, currently at 2005 and fondly remembering: Arctic Monkeys - 17.10.2005 - Leeds Black Canvas gig pre- record release. All in attendance were fans fuelled off internet bootleg downloads such as the “Beneath the Boardwalk” demos and the like.

Here’s the albums I picked out as BestOf2011 back then over on Twitter

It’s interesting, I pick this now but back then this was my bestof2010 list!

More dredging through my musical memories and 2008 brings: Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid, to which “One Day Like This” was chosen as the song that my wife would walk down the aisle to two years later in 2010, played by a string quartet. 🥰

25 albums from the 21st century (2000-2025) - my picks one per year. 2000 - Doves - Lost Souls

I mean I walked several miles to the record shop and paid by cheque for “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” in 2000, only to get home and find “Little James” made the cut! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Not on the list. 🤣

This “pick your 25 albums of the 21st century / your favourite albums since 2000” thread is churning up some memories. Probably picking one album per year is the easiest option I’ll go with.

My 2025 Album Picks 1. Pale Blue Eyes - New Place (Not a band I’d listened to at all, but loved it, a record I bought on impulse as it was playing in the record shop) 2. The Charlatans - We Are Love (Track to track, I love this whole album, not a feeling I’ve had since Tellin’ Stories (1997))

A Christmas themed, Wham sweet flavoured #SourBeer from #VaultCityBrewing 🎄🎅🏼🍻👍🏼

This is by far the best festive tshirt I’ve seen this year
