Another one that will have to be in my #5DebutAlbums7579 picks. Stunning… Yellow Magic Orchestra - S/T

Nailed on number one pick for #5DebutAlbums7579 Ian Dury & The Blockheads - New Boots & Panties

FRIDAY SHOP PLUG! I haven’t done one for a while and everything seems properly fucked but just in case you wanted a folklore inspired linocut print to gaze at as the world burns, here you go… 💀 Must work on my sales pitch. matpringleillustration.bigcartel.com

@harperspace.bsky.social Hey Nick! You mentioned a Golden Hinde show in your recent mail, but nothing on Harperspace for that yet…any idea when tickets for that will be available? I’ve seen a couple of gigs there and it’s an incredible venue…don’t want to miss out!!!

#5DebutAlbums1519 Solid debut offering, the nascent shoots of the electrifying psych garage rock to come… Frankie & the Witch Fingers - S/T

#5DebutAlbums 1519 Scott Lavene’s debut using his own name is another stunner. The title track rightfully gets most of the plaudits, but this is exquisite from start to finish. Scott Lavene - Broke

Before he was ‘Scott Lavene’, Scott Lavene released this incredible debut. In equal measure painfully and beautifully authentic storytelling of the highest order. 10/10 zero skips masterpiece. Easily my top spot for #5DebutAlbums1519 Big Top Heartbreak - Deadbeat Ballads

@inlandempire777.bsky.social you gallivanting about somewhere on October 6th? dice.fm/event/6dlwk2...

Brilliant debut from the synthwave masters! #5DebutAlbuns1519 Magic Sword - Vol.1

Terrible album cover, but a cracking debut from the rowdy Aussie rockers #5DebutAlbums1519 C.O.F.F.I.N. - Piss Up

Fantastic Kosmiche/Psych from Australia for #5DebutAlbums1519 Nice Biscuit - Digital Mountain

Good evening @richards7370.bsky.social, need a #5DebutAlbums1519 ruling for myself (no-one else will be interested😅)… Scott Lavene released Broke in 2019 as his first album under his own name, but released Deadbeat Ballads as Big Top Heartbreak in 2016 - can I have both in my 5?!

This album hits even harder when there’s a bit of sunshine about ☀️. Essential for UKHH fans… #NowPlaying

Revisiting this old friend this evening 😍

Plantoid tonight at The Moth Club - they get better and better every time I see them, such a great live band.!

Micah P Hinson at Oslo Hackney this evening. On absolute top form. Incredible gig from. One of my all time favourite artists 🔥

This is an excellent read open.substack.com/pub/cannoniq...

One of the all-time greatest albums #NowPlaying

Yep yep #NowPlaying

Underrated classic! #NowPlaying

Been a while, still as excellent as I remember…

Andrew Bird with the Britten Sinfonia this evening, absolutely stunning gig!

Probably my top pick for #5DebutAlbums0509 Beirut - Gulag Orkestar

Share something from the 1990’s!

Another one that’s in with a shout for my #DebutAlbums0509 picks Bahamas - Pink Strat

In with a big chance of getting into my #5DebutAlbums0509 Respect and really like Bowie but not as big a fan as most of the #5albums community, but these covers are exquisite… Seu Jorge - The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions

One of my locals turned up trumps yesterday - incredibly well spent £10! @inlandempire777.bsky.social

Six years ago, we lost the best of us. This obituary, insanely, is one of the easiest things I've ever written. It was like the words were ready-formed, so etched into my head has been his inspiration since my mid teens.

People are too cool and take themselves too seriously when it comes to music. There’s always a place for unadulterated joy and this album has it in spades. Unironically will absolutely be in my top 5 for #5DebutAlbums0509

Hi folks, the next poll in our debut albums series will be debuts released between 2005-2009. Voting will commence on Friday 27th Feb, at which point I’ll need your top 5 picks in order of preference. In the meantime please use hashtag #5DebutAlbums0509 to recommend your favourites. See you then 👍

This is where I’m at for #5DebutAlbums0509

@hair-rayney.bsky.social If you’re at a loose end next Thursday mate… Scott Lavene @ The Bear Club www.bandsintown.com/e/107476858?...

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence. “Some apportists believe that it’s all them - others think of themselves only as go-betweens, mediums, stooging for unseen forces.”

👀👀👀

After a brutal cull I have a definitive top ten for #5DebutAlbums9094 …now to figure out an order…

Honestly, these guys. Keep knocking it out of the park - three albums deep and no let up at all… music.apple.com/gb/album/no-...

This one is a bit special, and I’ve done my best to get folks to listen to it - I’ve seen Nick perform this show live twice (with a third already booked in for March) - and this really could have been a double album. Phenomenal show and album 😍 #5albums25 Nick Harper - 58 Fordwych Rd

Although for me not quite hitting the consistent heights of Letter to Self, this follow up is still a damn fine album. #5albums25 Sprints - All That Is Over

Another favourite artist with an absolute banger for #5albums25, the third album from the incredible Pengshui - the best live band around at the moment in my opinion… Pengshui - Guts

No doubt for me as to which album tops the pile for #5albums25 Scott is fast becoming an absolute all time favourite artist of mine - genuinely one of the greatest ever storytelling songwriters, and an absolute gent to boot… Scott Lavene - Cars, Buses, Bedsits and Shops

@harperspace.bsky.social this was where it all started for me 😍

ØXN were magical…

Anyone live in/near Hackney and want a ticket for ØXN tonight? Had two people drop out last minute…

Heroes!

@pengshuimusic.bsky.social at The Black Heart tonight. Words fail me. Again. These guys are the fucking best. Buy and listen to their music and go see them live and buy their merch. Absolutely fucking sensational. Every time.

What an evening at Union Chapel! Cassie Kinoshi and Linda May Han Oh as a duo, then Natcyet Wakili, Joy Guidry and Saul Williams trio, followed by all five as a quintet. Jazz improv of the highest order - a transcendental experience!

Sprints. Absolutely fuckin brilliant!

Feel like there should be an official support group for middle aged men who go to concerts alone 😅

Bahamas at Union Chapel this evening - wonderful show as expected. As always in awe of UC as a venue, one of the very best concert spaces there is imo
