Music Stuff YouTube video by Cvc - Topic

#foundsoundsSE6 - groovy tunes from the guy running the café today. is this the 70s? is this the 80s throwing back to the 70s? no it is CVC from 2023, which had completely passed me by.

A hand holding an ice cream cone next to a brick wall

I strongly endorse marscapone + tiramisu ice cream

Microphones: in conclusion, I was bored, baffled, occasionally traumatised, fleetingly delighted = gets my vote

(i checked Elbow too and it does not get my vote)

the loud one is the best one, he should have sung louder too

i am looking forward to the noise (it is getting more intriguing as it goes on, or maybe i am just acclimatising?)

wiki tells me it's influenced by extreme metal, so i'm waiting for those vibes (there's some light mogwai adjacent stuff going on at the moment ...). can't really face the elbow album :(

(i am halfway through song 1 and am very bored)

aah, this has reminded me that I had that trolley and it's now disappeared... how has that happened? (Friday mission set)

(Good luck with/ enjoy the CD sorting)

strong agree with all these points!

I somehow find myself enjoying My New Band Believe, and I really shouldn't be.

i nearly (re?)bought it at a charity shop last month - and regret not doing so (it's 100s of miles away, so i can't go back)

I did my due diligence and listened to GF, which has some fun spacy interludes - but I have always enjoyed WLL and Sunrise has been spectacular at the recent Pulp gigs so this was an easy one for me (sorry LSF).

(... appreciate what you did here :) )

The best way to celebrate - happy birthday!

Ach, double blow this early in the morning!

DA WEASEL - Dialectos de Ternura [Official Music Video] YouTube video by Warner Music Portugal

Loving the Portuguese suggestions - currently also giving old favourites Best Youth and António Variações a look.

Plus Da Weasel's classic funky hip hop tuga (yeah, yeah, bebê).

youtu.be/kfGjElgd1_g?...

Yep, :( , would have loved Pongo at the top of my team list. Also, means I couldn't pick Buraka Som Sistema*'s Kalemba (Wegue Wegue) :(

(* who brought out a new single on Friday - obviously keen to show they still have form)

I do like Hangover - also putting (We Stay) Up All Night through its paces ...

Got to celebrate the links between Portugal and Galicia (especially as my partner's family are from the north of Portugal). (Plus the song bops!)

Hi Tom. My manager pick for Portugal is:

Batida feat. Mayra Andrade - Bom Bom (PORTUGAL - also: Angola (DNQ) and Cape Verde)

Bonuses:

Baiuca, Xurxo Fernandes, Felisa Segade - Navajitas - GLOW Remix (SPAIN)

Céline Dessberg - Chintamani (FRANCE)

Thanks!

PDL: Emily Watson - run away from the Sandler.
KMD: belatedly found out this is super influential. Absolutely ridiculous in the best way.
PHM: also ridiculous in the best way 🪨👎

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Okay, these both gave me Primal Scream vibes (come down blues vs retro rock) ...

Nearly gave BRMC a vote for the pure gumption and silliness of 'Whatever Happened To My Rock 'N' Roll (Punk Song); but, although it's not the trippy Spiritualized I prefer, LICD wins this for me.

The first match (I think) where I owned both albums at the time; I'm not sure if I've listened to either since 2001 or which one I'll pick in 2026.

Atake dos karapinhas YouTube video by General D - Topic

BACK from holiday, three loads of washing in, putting my #PWC26 Portuguese squad through their paces. General D probably won't make my guaranteed pick but is my favourite discovery so far:

#THETENX5 Day 50

💫🎷 12 points 🎷💫

#1 M83 - Midnight City (2011) (FRA) NKC❌

The saxophone at the end is the sound of my heart exploding with happiness.

Thank you Arron and tenx5ers for a fabulous challenge, I've really enjoyed revisiting and discovering the music of the 2010s.

Me too! I'm planning to hang back to see what (if?) people choose for PT and if I can complement them ... but keep discovering new (ace) Portuguese tracks to make it even trickier

on my #PWC26 short (well quite long) list

🙌 yay! 🙌
