11 - Walking in the Rain

Rare example of Grace not doing a better job than the original artist, just because Flash & the Pan’s version is flawless & you can’t improve flawless.
Still, this is as strange and as moody and deserves a mention.

Day 30 - Low & Spring Heel Jack - Hands So Small (00)

I still have a hard time listening to Mimi’s voice, especially when set against music as beautiful as this. The highlight from an unlikely collaboration which resulted in a timeless, gorgeous EP. 💔

I think I know this, how does it go? 😉

She’s on a different planet, isn’t she?

One day, Drew, one day.

Been singing it all morning.

Day 29 - Belle & Sebastian - Seeing Other People (96)

There was a time in the late 90’s-early 00’s when B&S were untouchable (and so, so clever).
With their early policy of no-singles off LPs, it's a tough task, this has always been a favourite, though.

Mind: blown! 🤯

12 - Nightclubbing

A quintessential GJ song (and album), you really just never want it to end. Insanely cool 😎

Don’t know a lot of MD, but this is my favourite.

Snow and Australia are not two words I would normally associate!

It does look lovely, though. 😍

😍😍

Love this! Totally new to me… 😻

I owe you at least a half pint.

Day 28 - Sibylle Baier - The End (recorded early 70s, released 2006)

Discovered a few years ago courtesy of an Agnes Obel-curated compilation, the whole LP sounds like it was recorded in a parallel dimension. (TY to Ed for reminding me of this little gem)

13 - Nipple to the Bottle

Another Compass Point highlight: as cool as it gets and half of one of the most incredible double-A’s of all time (more of which later in the countdown).

I’ll only accept it if you give it to me in person! 😘

Yes, it is: 1 of 1.

Not sure about the three capital K’s, to be honest. He’s American and I’m sure the reference isn’t lost on him. 🙂‍↔️

I was reading an interview with Stewart earlier this week. I wonder if that’s the jumper that got Sting his nickname.

Are you joining the #WeekendeSingles crew on Thursday? We’re meeting in Soho for record shopping shenanigans, some food and maybe a pint or two.

I know, right? My friend was like, “Oh, you can have it, I don’t have a record player anymore..."

Only one addition to the collection this week (courtesy of an Italian friend).
Not exactly the Holy Grail for Smiths collectors, but very nearly there. And it’s nearly mint.

Day 27 - Sufjan Stevens - Death with Dignity

Before Carrie & Lowell, I’d always dismissed Sufjan as some sort of hipster nonsense and boy was I wrong. This is some of the loveliest (and saddest) music there is out there.
Big fan now, obviously.

Quite a few matches… as I said, great minds… 🙌🏼

14 - Do or Die

Before being super-cool, Grace was “only” fabulous (i.e. big with the boys downtown. Her 70’s albums are a bit patchy, but some of the singles are a ton of fun.
