The Limiñanas’ 6th (?) studio album “Faded” was my second favourite album of 2025:
“The mood is late-night art-house film or darkened, half-empty, wine soaked dive bar.”

Best film soundtracks: #5 “Sucker punch” (2011) So much for getting through my top five soundtracks ‘over the next month’! Honestly, I wanted to get this particular piece posted almost two months ago, not long after I shared the last piece in this series counting down albums ten through six. But then, I got the brilliant idea that I wanted to rewatch all of the films for the top five soundtracks to remind myself of the films and how the music interacted with each.

I wish you’d never learnt to weep
Don’t sell the dreams you should be keeping

Eighties’ best 100 redux: #75 Peter Gabriel “In your eyes” (1986) << #76    |    #74 >> I didn’t mean to take a break. Honest. It just happened. Save for a quick post sharing pics from the Matt Berninger show I caught, the last piece published to these pages was another Eighties best 100 post, just under a month ago. So I figured I’d return to our regular schedule (albeit a bit slower to start) after that brief pause with another from that series.

Live music galleries: Matt Berninger [2026] Artist: Matt Berninger When: March 20th, 2026 Where: Bronson Music Theatre, Ottawa Context: I am interrupting this unplanned mini hiatus in posting* to share a few pics and thoughts of the show I saw on Friday night. My first concert of the year came courtesy of The National frontman and singer/songwriter, Matt Berninger. He announced a cross Canada solo tour with Canadian indie pop songstress Hannah Georgas back in December and I snapped a ticket for the Ottawa stop as soon they went on sale.

Eighties’ best 100 redux: #76 The Mission “Tower of strength” (1988) << #77    |    #75 >> At track #76 is The Mission's eight-minute epic single, "Tower of strength". The Mission (known as The Mission UK in North America) was formed by Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams after they left Sisters of Mercy due to a disagreement with frontman Andrew Eldritch before the recording of that band's second album. In fact, a handful of songs that appeared on The Mission's debut album, "God's own medicine", were written by Hussey and were meant to be recorded as Sisters of Mercy songs.
