www.youtube.com/watch?v=UV6o... My local band, The Haunted Youth. New song by them. Dreamy as always. Emo Song.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOi9... New one from Greet Death who somehow embody all the best bits of the early nineties. A bit grunge, a bit gaze... and more than a bit good! @greetdeath.bsky.social

And Clem Burke - so distinctive. Did anyone not like Blondie? I doubt. Rest well.

A bit behind on my tributes. Dave Allen of the really rather underrated Gang Of Four, RIP Sir.

A wonderful review here of 'Answers On A Postcard' from @brettspaceman.bsky.social, who has taken a look at our debut album for [Sic] Magazine. "Lyrically and thematically there’s an ‘inner and outer‘ dynamic at play. The results are heartfelt and melodic." 🔗 www.sicmagazine.net/17768/sky-pa...

www.sicmagazine.net/17768/sky-pa... Check out my review for @skypatterns.bsky.social via the link here. Album drops today, which is, of course ,Bandcamp Friday.

www.sicmagazine.net/17748/stephe... I reviewed the latest album from Stephen Hero, aka Patrick from kitchens of Distinction. I really enjoyed it.

RIP Rick Buckler. The Jam were part of my school curriculum along with the two tone stuff. Not sure I'd rock that Sta Press look anymore, but Rick did.

www.sicmagazine.net/17640/editor... These were my Albums of 2024. File under poor year, great music. Often the way! Also, I have no clue how Blue Sky works! (as per usual) Can I tag these artists? #aoty #aoty2024

www.sicmagazine.net/17710/gavin-... One of our writer top tens. We have discussed at length and decided there's little to no value in doing a magazine/consensus top albums, you know, where its the same as everyone elses, just re-sequenced. We go individually. This time it's Gavin Fearnley. #aoty

www.sicmagazine.net/17672/first-... Michael Hiscock of The Field Mice returns with new project.

youtu.be/2tG2SSdSxP4?... One of the best voices on the planet. Gee, i could listen to him sing the phone book. Sivert Hoyem with Hollow.

www.sicmagazine.net/17697/sub-ed... Here's sub Ed, Rob Gannons superb year round up. Be warned, he says, there isn't much 'happy'. I'll tell what there is "much". Terrific music! Great list from a teammate with his finger on the pulse. #aoty #album

Question. Fairly new here but I have already received chat messages from celebrity accounts where the sender is clearly an AI. Sorry to ask the obvious but should I unfollow those 'people' or could the user be legit and simply using an AI to admin their account? No Phish or social engineering btw

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp6G... More Christmas larks. Here are perennial [sic] Mag darlings Black Swan Lane. For fans of The Smiths, The Chameleons, Ride, ....

Lets get some (alternative) Christmas songs going. I reckon my old darlings Cocteau Twins could've scored a big radio hit with Wonderland/Frosty. Just needed a little push from someone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vm9...
