#NowPlaying

Underrated classic!

#NowPlaying

Been a while, still as excellent as I remember…

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

Beneath This Burning Shoreline is exceptional, give it a spin when you get a chance

Great Cherry Ghost album. Was just outside my 5

Evening Richard, here’s my #5DebutAlbums0509 picks…

1. Beirut - Gulag Orkestar
2. Flight of the Conchords - S/T
3. Burial - S/T
4. Bahamas - Pink Strat
5. Seu Jorge - Life Aquatic Sessions

Another vote for the Conchords, good man Nick!

The debut and Vagabonds my favourites, no better place to start imo

Probably their best album

BANGER!

That moment when one of @richards7370.bsky.social #5Albums retweets appear on your feed, you think fuck yeah that’s an incredible album, go to hit the like…then realise it’s your own post 🙈

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!

RIP Andrew Weatherall: A sonic revolutionary and free spirit Andrew Weatherall is a dance music legend who was uncompromising until the end

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.

They are in Norwich on the 13th of March. Seeing them the day before in London (for the third time)

Thought you might like a bit of Plantoid. Even better live, so go see them if you haven’t already…

I checked on Bands In Town and there’s a whole range of UK dates, just nothing in London yet. Assume (hope!) that’s coming later. I’ve seen her three times now and it’s been utterly magical every time.

Ah, because there not been a London show announced (yet, hopefully). Would go see her again in a flash.

Wonder why all the concert apps I have didn’t flag this?! Arooj is incredible live - you’ll have a great time!!

Seems appropriately rowdy 😂

In 2006 I went to what was billed as a Nick Cave solo gig expecting just Nick at a piano. Turns out Warren, Marty and Jim were there too…so the Grinderman lineup playing NC&TBS material. Top gig, don’t recall them playing songs we didn’t know tho (i.e. sadly no sneak peek of Grinderman material)

YouTube video by Ellaelise Flight of the Conchords- Issues (Think About It)

Oh geez where to start?! There’s two tv series, but live clips probably the best place to start to get the vibe. Maybe here…

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

First time I’ve seen someone else post Gizelle Smith & The Mighty Mocambos!
The Time Is Right For Love is a big favourite of mine

100% this. It’s how I’ve ‘consumed’ all our games for a few years now. Elite comms from Dan and Adrian - best in the business.

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 👍
