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

This is unbelievably well done youtu.be/HfJkMq4weG0?...

New @pengshuimusic.bsky.social is an absolute banger!! 🔥🔥🔥 @marksmusic1977.bsky.social get it on mate!

@scottlavene.bsky.social tonight at The Moth Club fucking brilliant as always - this guy deserves at the very least your ears on his music, but also go see him live, buy merch and support however you can. So rare to see artists with such genuine heart, soul and humour in their music ❤️

#5DebutAlbums1014 Smallgang - Trespasses Fabulous Post-Punky wonder that would be very popular with a load of the #5albums demographic if they gave it a spin…

#5DebutAlbums1014 Wonderful trad//psyche/doom/folk from the Crumblers 😍 Crumbling Ghost - S/T

#5DebutAlbums1014 RTJ -RTJ Oooof!

#5DebutAlbums1014 Daniel Avery - Drone Logic Top drawer debut

FUCK YEAH! Sugar tickets in the bag! Going to both shows 💪🏼

#NowPlaying My wife is the latest person to ask how I can concentrate on work with this on… Easy really. Something to do with how it’s mirroring the buzzing of my synapses I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Autechre - Tri Repetae

#NowPlaying Yep yep yep Tangerine Dream - Rubycon

#NowPlaying When you work at home every day, some weekdays just feel like Sundays. My music choice might have something to do with it… Moodymann - Silentintroduction

#NowPlaying Just like Sugar earlier in the week, another band where listening to one album inevitably means playing the other straight away… New Pengshui album out soon!!

Giddy with excitement!!

Sugar is back! New music at sugarcopperblue.com PLUS May 2026 live shows in NYC and London. All the info is here!

Scuzzy industrial goodness #5DebutAlbums8084 Front 242 - Geography

Synth heaven proto house that I think counts for #5DebutAlbums8084 Charanjit Singh - Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat

Another leftfield choice for #5DebutAlbums8084 is this wonderfully grubby industrial electro punk noir banger Liaisons Dangereuses - S/T

Fully expecting that this on no-one else’s radar for #5DebutAlbums8084, but it’s a wondrous slice of synthy prog brilliance that was a staple of my childhood and I still love it to this day… Pallas - The Sentinel

@harperspace.bsky.social any plans to get the whole discography onto the streamers at some point?

One of my all-time favourite artists @harperspace.bsky.social is making a push to get his latest album as high as possible in the Folk charts - go buy it obvs, but also every stream helps! More than worth 45mins of your time to give it a spin!! music.apple.com/gb/album/58-...

Madlib was really on it for #5DebutAlbums0004 Quasimoto - The Unseen Can’t see how I can omit this from my 5… #NowPlaying
