Nice....just listening to them on the journey home. Shame their London gig clashes with MBV at the Royal Albert Hall.

It's Tinnitus Awareness Week, with Tinnitus UK reminding us that "hearing damage linked to live music is preventable".

Love this, I only recently heard it after seeing it on this @treblezine.bsky.social blog about the best @slumberlandrecords.com
I remember seeing the iconic cover in record shops and it popping up on 1996 AOTY lists. so glad I finally got around to checking it out.

Weโ€™ve just released another song from @francarlyon.bandcamp.comโ€™s wondrous mini album. Tripping Over My Heart is a spellbinding collision of hushed intimate songwriting, finger-picked acoustic gtr and shimmering synths. Check it out here:

I was playing Tri Repetae only yesterday.

It's that time of year when I seek solace from the dark cold of Winter in IDM.

Can't Get Out of Bed by The Charlatans.

I picked this copy up 32 years ago from Warp Records in Sheffield. Afterwards I met a girl from Uni at the Nursery Tavern for a drink.

We're still together 32 years later.

A special tune with happy memories for us both.

Same here, I've been after a copy for a while. I can now stop watching the Japanese copy on discogs.

This new Reds Pinks and Purples single, New Leaf is a stunner....I love the way Glenn subtly keeps moving his sound forward, bringing something new and fresh to each release without necessarily changing his formula

Post a picture of the venue where you attended your first concert and the band.

Brookyln's ambassadors of love....They Might Be Giants at the mighty Redcar Bowl, 15 June 1990. Still one of my top 10 gigs of all time.

I love Self Imperfectionist from I'll Be Your Saint as my favourite.

A band taken down by the music press....wouldn't happen these days with social media and streaming , we not stuck with NME and Melody Maker as Kingmakers.
