Hi Rich, really tough this one!

1. Ride - Nowhere
2. Curve - Doppelgänger
3. Northside - Chicken Rhythms
4. Charlatans - Some Friendly
5. Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works

HMs - Ned’s, Prodigy, RATM, Chapterhouse, Electronic, Slowdive

Will definitely be in my top 5 👍

I was obsessed with this as a 15 year old listening to John Peel, but literally no one else I spoke to had ever heard it

Uncanny!

Proofreader has clearly never heard A-Bomb in Wardour Street

The only thing stopping me from turning up today and browsing through those, at great length, is the fact I live a six hour drive away 🥲

You must have one hell of a cough to buy all four!

Those Patrick Cowley remixes are 👌

Haven’t heard this in years. Banger at the time though

Would it be wrong to mention ‘Oh Santa!’ by Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer for some light relief?

Erm… there IS football on Boxing Day you know.

The EFL does exist - so whilst you’re hand-wringing about the Premier League giving it the swerve, how about the narrative that the Championship, League One and League Two will benefit and enjoy their Boxing Day in the limelight?

Absolutely this, would have been in my top 5 if I’d given it some more thought 👍

Hi Rich

Just realised as we are dealing with debuts only then you don’t really need the album names!

1. New Order (5pts)
2. Madonna
3. Run DMC
4. ABC
5. Heaven 17

HMs FGTH, Smiths, Blue Nile. I’ve probably missed off some others!

Cheers

Absolutely top drawer, song and album

Excellent light show! 😂

Well there’s this…

Absolutely, in my top 5 👍

Bloody hell, any one of five could get my vote here, depending on how I feel when I woke up!

I’m guessing the reservoir is both warm and shallow?

Some absolute belters there, and not forgetting Leave Them All Behind which followed 👌

Motherfucking wind farms…

Great track 👍

Fantastic track, left me speechless when I first heard it 👌

Absolutely outstanding breaking news! #hmhb

With that (lack of) foot movement, I think a straight one would do it

As an afficianado of lower league football, I’m sure you’ll be aware that with one game of the season to go in the National League South, there are 6 (SIX) teams that can still win the title. Madness!

Probably for the best that ‘Renfield’s Afoot’ and ‘Vatican Broadside’ by Half Man Half Biscuit haven’t been included here!

There certainly are loads to choose from, but this would also rank as my number one choice. The last two minutes are just sheer perfection 👌

A big pile of Notebook paperbacks.

The back cover of my book Notebook.

Decided to give away this entire pile of my 2022 book Notebook for the price of postage today. If you can pay more, great. If not, no problem. Pop a reply below if you'd like one. It's a short, silly book, but sometimes a bit serious, too, and people tell me it's a good easy gateway to my writing.
