As promised (threatened) a few weeks ago, I am now ready to unveil my @wedigmusic.bsky.social Top 10 based on the brilliant playlist below. I don't know who nominated which songs so it will be interesting to see if I favour anyone's choices in particular... open.spotify.com/playlist/45z...

#90sTop30 (Listed in alphabetical order) Day 4. Bjork - Hyperballad (1995) Who saw this one coming? A song I had forgotten about until i was reminded via a @wedigmusic.bsky.social playlist A brilliant skittering rhythm topped with Bjork's skyscraper vocals. youtu.be/6XZ3tuF2de8?...

Epic pod given me lots of new stuff to listen too. Will be picking up leprous, lubomry melnyck, and more! I too went to see VLMA and Natalie Evans at The Folklore Rooms in Brighton I echo the sentiments expressed in the pod. Also revisiting Vnder a crumbling Moon after you mentioned them as aside.

Well, that was a fabulous listen, and the section below was absolutely incredible! What I found striking is that, amongst three avowed noiseniks, how many times that the winning song was something completely beautiful. I'll be going back through it to make up my own top 10, but it's onto 2015 now.

@hotchi1idog.bsky.social has created an Apple Music version of our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist for anyone that uses that rather than Spotify. Cheers Andy!

Our new episode is out now wherever you get yr podcasts! This month @ineeddirection.bsky.social @killminus.bsky.social & @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social discuss our favourite songs of 2015 including ethereal pop, modern classical piano epics, unsettling hiphop & a new conspiracy theory about Iceland!

I've just updated the We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist with every song so far that's won one of our episodes. We've collectively chosen some bloody brilliant songs over the last 8 and a half years! open.spotify.com/playlist/45z... #musicpodcast ##nowplaying #playlist #musicrecommendations

Just finishing the final edit on this. It'll be in your podcast feeds tomorrow morning!

Recording the 2015 episode of the We Dig Music podcast. A joy to be in the same room rather than remotely ❤️

We're recording in person for the first time in ages today! Two episodes to record. The first is our favourite songs of 2015! You can find the full playlist here - open.spotify.com/playlist/2eX... #musicpodcast @ineeddirection.bsky.social @killminus.bsky.social @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social

Well today’s listening sorted. A fascinating dissection of three cracking albums. I will not listen to Crippling Alcoholism in the same way again and I have just snagged a resale ticket for Ethel Cain at Hammersmith. A brilliant podcast that may end up costing you some money 😀

New "Now playing" episode of We Dig Music out today with 3 very different albums from each of us but so much love...

Utterly brutal. This was a great episode to record. So much love for all 3 albums ❤️❤️❤️

Need to listen to Magdelena Bay but holy cow that Crippling Alcoholism record is a brutal listen. As for Ethel it’s a classic looking forward to this episode!

Our new episode is out now! Our second #nowplaying of 2025. @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social has picked Imaginal Disk by #MagdalenaBay, @killminus.bsky.social has picked With Love From A Padded Room by #CripplingAlcoholism & @ineeddirection.bsky.social has picked Preachers Daughter by #EthelCain!

Also, apropos of your Mark E Smith joke...

I've been listening to this one in instalments, for reasons. It will probably not surprise you that Richard Pinhas has recorded three albums with Merzbow. I've not yet delved into the Heldon stuff but I am now inspired to do so. 😎

Loving this! "Get Down, Make Love", a ballsy pick....yeah, I'd have plumped for Taylor's "Sheer Heart Attack", fast, furious, & fabulous. Mighty episode.

Our new episode is out now on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts! This month we appear to be teleporting between CBGB's, Studio 54, The 100 Club, The Berlin Wall and some kind of prog gig in a field in Cambridgeshire as we fight over our favourite songs of 1977! #musicpodcast #bestof1977

The bloody character limit here doesn't allow nearly as much as I need to pay tribute to Ozzy so here's what I posted over on Facebook. A true hero. Black Sabbath have always made me proud of Birmingham and the West Midlands. Thank you for everything Ozzy. #ozzyosbourne #ripozzy #blacksabbath

Oh no, not Ozzy. What a way to go out though, adored by his fans and raising a bucketload of money for charity.

Episode 77 of the Free With This Month's Issue podcast is out now! This month we're joined by @trvecvltgaz.bsky.social from the @trvecvltpop.bsky.social to discuss Kerrang's first ever free cd Radio Kerrang Volume 1 from March 1997. Plus there's a quiz! #musicpodcast #kerrang #britrock #numetal

Also just caught up with the festivals ep. I saw Blur at Glasto in 2009, it was one of my great festival moments as I spent most of the set arms around shoulders with a random Irish guy I'd never met before and never saw again, us both singing along to everything. It was also my birthday. 😎🥳🍻

We recorded our best of 1977 episode last night. Here are the songs picked by @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social @ineeddirection.bsky.social & @killminus.bsky.social What do you think will win? What do you think SHOULD win? What would you have picked that we missed. #podcast #bestof1977 #musicpodcast

Great episode, very enjoyable hearing all your stories and thoughts. Listened on my way back from Leeds Festival (ok, a 6 band mini-festival lineup in a small Leeds venue, close enough). @ineeddirection.bsky.social Rockaway Beach does tick all your boxes Tracey 😉 More current artists than retro.

Well worth a listen if you don’t normally. Fun chat & discussion on festival experiences, and some funny stories.

Our new podcast episode is out now! This month @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social @ineeddirection.bsky.social & @killminus.bsky.social discuss our favourite music festival memories (or missing memories in Tracey's case) of the last 37 years! Out now wherever you get your podcasts! #Glastonbury #reading

It'll be in your podcast feeds on the 29th June (so Glastonbury weekend then!) #musicpodcast #festivalseason #reading #glastonbury #Hellfest #latitude

Top episode as ever. Surprised nobody pointed out the similarity between the riff from Interstellar Overdrive and the theme tune to Steptoe and Son. 🤣🤣

Our new episode is out now! This month @killminus.bsky.social @newpathstohelicon.bsky.social & @ineeddirection.bsky.social discuss our favourite songs of 1967! Out now on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts! #musicpodcast #bestof1967 #psych #garage #jazz #Soul #pop

Here we go. A "Fuck's sake, Tracey" moment very early on in today's @wedigmusic.bsky.social NOBODY likes Trout Mask Replica, Tracey. 🙄

Zabadak! Haven’t heard that in years!

Good Lord. Some belters there. Left Banke may edge it. Or Love. If WCPAEB was I Won't Hurt You instead then maybe that. Blimey.

So.... No Traffic, Procul Harum, Kaleidoscope, "Grocer Jack", Doors, "Waterloo sunset", "2000 light years from home"... And yet it's still a great playlist

Massively torn between Love & The Left Banke.
