The Barlow ones on this one are particularly great!

Brilliant!

Cool, I find my two (10 and 5yos) are accepting/open to pretty much anything that gets put on in the car - I reckon most young kids are, so it’s nice to be able to expose them to a variety!

Today’s in-car listening inspired by watching an old Kevin Shields interview in which he said more primary school kids should listen to MBV.

Win win

Biggest con/ nominee for worst recent musical development- ‘chord progression packs’ - how about just pressing your fingers down and seeing how it sounds?

Would be interested to hear what you think. I reckon it’s some of those cleaner chiming arpeggios that make me think of ATL but structurally and ‘sound world’ a little too.

After the Rain, Strange Seeds by The Leaf Library

#Nowplaying I’ve been really taken with the new @theleaflibrary.bsky.social album - beautiful hypnotic pop; hints of A Thousands Leaves-era Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, Stereolab, Lambchop; lots I love; but wrapped up in its own unique sound & vision.

💜 easily done, I’m very much immune to it!

Haha, ‘outrage’ these days! What I really meant to say was I’ll only accept a pint if Jonathan’s getting them in, especially with southern prices 😉

No worries at all, Kieron. I’m just so pleased to have discovered your glorious music. I’ll only accept a pint if I’m getting in the next round - would be genuinely be lovely to meet should the chance arise.

😂 It’s a good a place for the mind to go in those times!

I've FINALLY got through the 78 albums that caught my eye last month and so I present to you MY ALBUMS OF THE MONTH for MARCH 2026! In a quality month, there were an unprecedented FOUR albums that got top marks, so hats off to Gladie, The Leaf Library, Special Friend, and Sweet Pill...

These two are all the proof you need of the life affirming qualities of jangly lofi indie.
Still a 2 for me for the mighty @therosslyns.bsky.social

A gorgeous record:

Likewise, Neil. I’m a big fan of the minimal approach to the NEUCLOUDS design too.

I used the early morning hours to listen to these two wonderful Subjangle CDrs again and to document them during the listening experience on Discogs for posterity.

Ahh, thank you Christian! 💜 a lovely photo and very good company. Hope all is well.

Scarecrow II, by The Telephone Numbers 10 track album

#NowPlaying

Just realised that this album is six months old today. It's utterly brilliant & you should really own it by now. 🎶🎶🎶

Just FYI. 5 brand new longish tracks of textured reflection that possibly sound like someone attempting to rip Deepchord off but doing the entire recording session on a very breezy Lancastrian moor. 1 RT = 1 Prayer. Jah Bless.
