I’ll forever love the jagged hard out-of-tune instrumental version of VU’s “Guess I’m Falling in Love”, but it’s sweet to finally hear the pop song it was meant to be.

Catch Up, Isobel
YouTube video by The Leaf Library - Topic Catch Up, Isobel

@theleaflibrary.bsky.social are so great. Their new tune, "Catch Up, Isobel", is exactly the kind of music I want to listen to in February 2026 😎 youtu.be/r9XIzIMgnbs?...

Until recently, the only Should album I'd heard was the "A Folding Sieve" CD (which I bought from the Parasol Records mailorder a loooong time ago!) but Numero's reissue of "Feed Like Fishes" makes me feel silly for not investigating further. Best Wedding Present cover ever? youtu.be/rrNak3mgO_0?...

The Master’s Apprentices — Wars or Hands of Time [Australia, garage rock] (66) One of the era’s most affecting antiwar songs, it describes a couple’s last embrace on a beach as a soldier bids his lover goodbye. See the story at http://bracefortheobscure60srock.com.

Lytham And Sound (Low Light And C Version), by A New Line (Related) from the album Crewe Away EP

A New Line (Related) has never put a foot wrong and last year's "Crewe Away" CD was another gem. This absolutely gorgeous, enveloping track is perfect for 22:24 on a Monday night and the pun in the track name deserves a doff of the cap 😜 soundinsilencerecords.bandcamp.com/track/lytham...

Cheers, guv! As well as the bands, we've got the added bonus of hearing the killer 45s of two of the best garage DJs around in Holly Calder and Neil Macinnes 😎

Siccar Point, by Intertoto 8 track album

Rubadub in Glasgow sneaked a few copies of this into their racks last weekend ahead of tomorrow's official release date. Love it! Maybe one for @anewlinerelated.bsky.social and @funkentechno.bsky.social ? intertoto.bandcamp.com/album/siccar...

My brain is so warped by current second hand rare vinyl/CD prices that a coupla hundred for a VG+ used copy seemed cheap on first look....then I gave myself a good talking to and got real 😅 www.discogs.com/sell/release...

I know shoegaze is popular right now but nearly £1.5k for a sealed CD featuring some of the lesser known acts from the early 2000s is WILD!

If it's any consolation, I just had to overhear a very LOUD and unbelievably annoying conversation above my music (Mo Dotti up loud) for a whole hour 🥴 Other people,.eh?
