A playlist of old (so-called) indie tracks that never made it onto any playlist of mine, and demonstrate what a broad church the genre once was (maybe still is?): open.spotify.com/playlist/27i... #Playlist #mixtape #indiemusic #1980s #1990s

25 years after it was released, Delta's Slippin' Out is now available on vinyl. Born out of the ashes of The Sea Urchins, they never really got a break, but all their stuff is worth listening to. Hopefully Hard Light will follow. An introduction: open.spotify.com/playlist/0fX...

The proposed demolition of the San Siro is an act of artistic and cultural vandalism. The building is as vital as the Coliseum and should be preserved or adapted. See my postscript for a deeper explanation: embracethemargin.blogspot.com/2017/09/stad... #SanSiro #GiuseppeMeazza #footballstadia

As critical as I often am of Britpop, there was a moment, before it all kicked off, when it was genuinely exciting, and a lot of that had to do with Blur: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOF7... A report from the front line: embracethemargin.blogspot.com/2016/12/line... #Britpop #Starshaped #Blur

1/4: Britpop is celebrating its 30th birthday, apparently. Here are my memories of this most overrated of scenes - its beginnings: embracethemargin.blogspot.com/2016/12/line...

Bought OTD in 1972: a foundational album for me, along with Teenage Head an exit from West Coast into sharp, angry fast rock. The whole thing is great - even the covers and the second side is astonishing: Shakin’ Street, Human Being Lawnmower. Special mention for Looking At You, which shreds

Playlists should never outstay their welcome, so I've split my Best of Stereolab in two. Moreover, it seems to make sense sonically. Here's part 2 ... open.spotify.com/playlist/6zE...

Just terminated X (HA!) and need to drum up some business. Please let me present to you the first instalment of LINER NOTES: embracethemargin.blogspot.com/2017/03/1992... #1990s #MiniDisc #mixtapes #linernotes #jazz #AcidJazz #JellyJazz #SelectMagazine #Plymouth

Bought OTD in 1972: 75p. Typical cheap Pye gatefold falling apart: inside 15 Ray Davies, mostly brilliant. A few indulgences. I’d pick Johnny Thunder, Big Sky, Picture Book, Starstruck, Phenomenal Cat, Wicked Annabella. Shame no room for Misty Water. Underrated then, overrated now?
