No one gets a Booths apart from north-west England and a couple of outposts in North/West Yorkshire sadly. Always visit the excellent Lancaster one en route to the Lakes. Butter pies and craft beer.

A Watchmen parody in which Dr. Manhattan is on Mars thinking, "It is 182. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office. It's 2010. I am twenty-nine years old. Tron bombs at the box office. It is 2025. I am forty-four years old. Tron bombs at the box office."

Some albums are hugely evocative of a particular time and place; this will always be Bradford in the 1980s.

Could have been Jane’s Addicition or St. Etienne, but this wins because it’s a banger and the video is bonkers.

Another possible top five finisher. The Cramps’ debut album, Songs The Lord Taught Us. So many of their finest moments: TV Set, Garbageman, Sunglasses After Dark.

Currently reading Cathi Unsworth’s fabulous Season Of The Witch; a handy reminder of what a fantastic album Killing Joke’s eponymous debut was.

1981 was also pretty decent for debut albums; I’m assuming that the Birthday Party and Byrne/Eno albums both count?

Seedling Sensational Vacuum
I was tempted by Tar’s Thermos, but it’s not actually that great. This is fine though from a Dutch band who chalked up a single Festive Fifty appearance with this tune.

Electricity - Hannah Peel
So Culver has got there first with Beefheart (and who can blame him - a mighty tune) and I’m eschewing Sonic Youth, Spiritualized and OMD (sort of) for this charming cover. youtu.be/IwztW3THvK8?...
