#90sTop30 #MusicChallenge 25 (Day 6) One per artist and loosely ranked… Gravity Grave Verve Verve’s early eps and debut album gave me the same thrills and excitement that Ride’s had a few years earlier. It didn’t last but around 93/94 they were one of my fave bands. youtu.be/CvJvnYHeYAY?...

#5DebutAlbums1014 #MusicChallenge Kiasmos - Kiasmos (2014) Not really up on my electronic sub genres but seen this described as ‘orchestral techno’ which fits pretty well. It’s a beautiful and hypnotic debut though from the Icelandic duo.

#nowplaying After rounding off my #80sTop30 with Spellbound earlier today… in the mood for some more Banshees tonight 🖤🎶

What a fantastic game of cricket. A record run chase by India to overhaul reigning world champs Australia in the WC semi final. So much emotion at the end, really showed how much it meant…loved it 🙌🙌

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 30 Many thanks @tansleyjames.bsky.social been a great month. Last word in this challenge goes to Siouxsie.. Spellbound Siouxsie and the Banshees youtu.be/TjvvK-Rj0WI?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 26 Some Candy Talking The Jesus & Mary Chain Been in a random order til now but finishing up with my five favourite bands of the 80’s. youtu.be/oIIdLAQ3nvc?...

#shoegaze For fellow 90’s gazers, aside from the big 3 (mbv, Slowdive & Ride) other fave albums from that era? At the time think I’d have said Whirlpool, now i’d probably go Delaware but love ‘em all 🩶

#nowplaying A trip down indie memory lane back to 89/90. Live Birdland were a blast, 20-30 mins of chaotic high octane pop punk inevitably ending with a smashed up set. Not all their records captured that raw energy but Hollow Heart ep and the live freebie album sure do…fun memories 🙂

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 25 Troy Sinead O’Connor Incredible voice, very powerful song.. youtu.be/0c4v7fp5GC8?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 24 Revolution Spacemen 3 Bought this based on an MM review and was blown away by it. Along with a couple of others in the late 80’s (mbv, House of Love) it opened up a whole new world to me. youtu.be/IW8ZAgTp_n0?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 23 Ashes to Ashes David Bowie My first memory of Bowie. At the time I had no idea who he was, didn’t know anything about his legendary 70’s albums, just saw this strange video on Top of the Pops and loved this song. youtu.be/HyMm4rJemtI?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 22 Green and Grey New Model Army We’re now into the territory of bands and songs that meant a lot and had a lasting impact. This is definitely one of those.. youtu.be/3fzm3Da5HUY?...

#80sTop30 #MusicChallenge Day 21 (random order) Everything Counts Depeche Mode Spoilt for choice when it comes to DM in the 80’s but Construction Time Again was the album that got me into them and this song in particular. youtu.be/Q9T3SB-L_ik?...
