I don’t do his politics and maybe his time in the 80s is more in the forefront of my mind but seeing #morrissey remains a must…

The Cure and Mozza on my 2026 gigs so far….deep dark joy 😉.

#musicsky

A banger of a song, true 80s classic

#CDinthecar

On a beautiful sunny autumnal day, my pick was this recent sparkling music of gold.

In celebration of getting #TheCure tickets for their 50th anniversary tour, here is one of my fav live tracks…the fan fav “Push” which, being honest, I’ve been singing all day!

More powerful live and one of those classic album tracks.

Lots of things has made this man happy in life.

Today was one of those special days.

#TheCure
#musicsky

#CDinthecar

This weekend a distinct difference in style.

#TheProdigy masterpiece (break&enter my fav track) and #Spiritualized in gorgeous form.

What was playing in your car?

#musicsky

#CDinthecar

A bit random this week but nice to vary the listening.

Sabres of Paradise (you must listen to “Wilmot”) with Mr Weatherall plying his genius.

The always brilliant #DIIV (first bought because I loved the artwork).

#MylesSmith bought on the back of a wonderful Glaso set.

#musicsky

#CDinthecar

An oldie (Reverend & the makers overlooked debut album with the bona fide classic “heavyweight champion of the world”& the lyric “free ride on the guilt trip”) & recent album of the year (2023’s False Lankum for fellow folk music fans).

Double bubble post day!

#Metronomy greatest hits and, a bit of poignancy,the last ever studio album from #saintetienne (sigh).

Both so significant that I have both #vinyl and cd for future #cdinthecar

#vinylcommunity #musicsky

A stone cold classic. One of the truly great albums & a fan fav.

“A strange day” up there with The Cure finest songs.

#TheSmiths we’re always more than Mozza/Marr.

In anticipation of Mike Joyce “The Drums” book release (I have a copy on order) here is the rhythm section of Joyce/Rourke that drove the band forward.

Sweet doggy dreams to all packs out there under the blue sky

YouTube video by Edwyn Collins Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You (Official Video)

#mylifetracks

One of those timeless tracks from the mid 90s that sounded like it had been around forever when released &, 31 years later, still sounds fresh and unique.

It is the definition of an ear worm song but one that moves your feet.

Gold.

A snippet of the brilliant Richard Ashcroft set at #OasisLive25 who shouldn’t be overlooked during the tour.

Loving that

Enjoy! It was an amazing experience and definitely one of the best gigs I’ve been to. Great atmosphere and a real joy the attend. You are in for something very special 👍

Think Ashcroft summed it up well when he said the country has been on a downward trajectory & this Oasis tour has brought people together again. A sea of happy faces just dancing with joy & singing their hearts out

Wembley 3rd August.

So was #Oasis as good as people say they were?

A resounding yes! Absolutely on top form and everything a fan could want!

Cast blasted through 7 great tracks (PP Arnold in cameo) and Richard Ashcroft was worth the ticket value alone.

One of the greatest gigs #musicsky

Today’s the day…..

#Oasis #musicsky

#CDinthecar

Two picks from the past 24 hours.

“Help” the 1995 Warchild album remains the #indie #alternative charity album. Oasis, KLF, Boo Radleys, Blur, Orbital, Manics, Radiohead, Suede, Portishead, and more!

“Black” with Wonderful Life, Sweetest Smile, Paradise. Timeless.

#musicchallenge

YouTube video by War Child UK Suede – Shipbuilding (1995 HELP)

#suede with one of the great covers of all time.

Little known which is a huge shame but on the wonderful “Help” #warchild album which will get a spin on cd in the car tomorrow.

Enjoy

YouTube video by Vintage Uploads The Ronettes - Be My Baby (Music Video)

#mylifetracks

This is a true classic.

The Ronettes with pure musical gold.

Yes it is older than me but it will also outlive me. Music is something magical when it touches the heart.

If you have ever been in love, this is a track that embraces you.

I was only a kid when this came out but it was like hearing the space age of music. Electronica pioneer that still sounds just as amazing now (and that Glasto performance was a classic).

At a time of grim, this track shone.

E&Bunnymen: indie heaven
Basic: instrumental excellence
Corella: indie new rockers (ones very much to watch)
Jordan Rakei: sweet soul music

#musicsky

Barry Can’t swim is a dance act and excellent, try “sunsleeper”

Today’s #CDinthecar in 30+degrees was the new album from Barry Can’t Swim (sounds great in the sunshine) and Andy Bell (#Ride #Oasis) latest album which has him on top form with Dot Allison and additional production from Gen Archer.

For any #theweddingpresent fans, the 40th anniversary tour will be a stunner.

Crawl/dalliance/kennedy/interstate5/my favourite dress/flying saucer/brassneck a great back catalogue with guitar shredding brilliance.

Enjoy!

#musicsky

I’m encouraging the use of #CDinthecar for those who still play CDs in the car!

Would love to see what people play & why.

For the past week, #TheCure mixes and the wonderful #TheMaccabees (just “given to the wild”didn’t make it to the car) post on fire Glasto performance.

#musicsky

My club sums up actually the thoughts & feelings 🐺 fans have on hearing the devastating news of Diogo Jota & brother deaths today.

Once a 🐺 always a 🐺.

RIP.
