Predictably gorgeous

Making my afternoon sound better, it’s @ivanmoult.bsky.social

A little surprised to find this in the wild today

Apologies for not posting this image sooner

“A newly mastered vinyl!”

I bragged about getting a copy. Now spinning..*jaw drops*. This cannot possibly be topped as the release of the year. An absolute revelation👏 & reference level mastering, pressing and production. Just wow😳 #nowspinning #vinylcommunity @justplayed.bsky.social And all the awards to @unspunheroes.com

The @clashmusic.com vinyl review column has been going for six years now and I’m quite proud of the little community it has built up around it. I really appreciate every comment from someone buying something off the back of reading and hope it helps shops too. www.clashmusic.com/features/jus...

Lovely to see The Felt Tips receive praise from Gareth. Always appreciated, never expected.

A little Damon for a wet Sunday

Listening to ‘The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows’ instrumentals after watching ‘The Thing With Feathers’ last night.

Today is the official release day for Living & Growing by The Felt Tips. Originally a CD-only release in 2010, this brilliantly effervescent indie pop classic is now out on vinyl. Order from your local indie shop (via SRD) or direct. And come to a gig for free badges and great music!

Back from a quick jaunt to Cardiff for @rufus-wainwright.bsky.social. A solo turn as part of the Llais Festival, he packed a lot into 70 minutes. A joy to be in his presence.

Still smiling about Wednesday night’s performance by @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social at Bath Forum. Neil on very fine form, much of the new album sounding superb and a nimble hop, skip and jump across the catalogue. ‘In Pursuit Of Happiness’ was a glorious start to the encore.

He did want it to sound good on vinyl. Mission accomplished

Best avoid The Oval in Bath at 10pm tonight.

The good folk at @bubblewrapcollective.co.uk have re-pressed @ivanmoult.bsky.social’s sublime ‘Songs From Severn Grove’ after WBR listeners and @clashmusic.com readers bought the first pressing: bubblewrapcollective.co.uk/product/ivan...

Splendid

There’s a channel called U&Eden repeating Later… from the start. Just turned it on and there’s Jellyfish doing the Ghost At Number One. Perfect timing.

Absolutely delighted about this. Such a good record. And the bonus disc live album is a corker too

NUMBER 3 IN THE MIDWEEK CHART! Read at: shorturl.at/dJcNe We are thrilled that 'Rainy Sunday Afternoon' is at #3 in the official midweek album chart. That's the highest independent release this week! Thanks to everyone who has bought or streamed the album, your support means the world to us ❤️

Neil is in majestic form on the new album from @divinecomedyhq.bsky.social. If you need persuading, I’ve had a go at convincing you here for @clashmusic.com: www.clashmusic.com/reviews/the-...

Had the pleasure of listening to the Montreux live album from the new Bowie box on the massive Planetarium speakers of We The Curious last night in Bristol. My first Pitchblack Playback and it was special. Like having him beamed back to earth for a night.

Pulling together my review of the gorgeous new album by The Divine Comedy and remembered what a thoroughly lovely chap Neil was when we nattered five years ago. Sure he still is. www.clashmusic.com/features/a-g...

Oh, to be able to partake of a bit of this mail order goodness right now

Been listening to this a fair bit this weekend

Sometimes, you just need a quick burst of this

The new David Byrne album is excellent

Another great point

What an idea!

Hmmm
