Like a lot of people, I’m listening to Bowie albums today. Really gives me very fond memories of the much missed #5x1 lot. We had a bit of fun there for a while, didn’t we? And fuck Tim Burgess. We were first. Happy Bowie Day, everyone!

Good article Neil. I miss #5x1. And Bowie.

Here’s something I wrote about Bowie, Blackstar and online communities #5x1 #BowieADay

I saw ATFK at Grace Petrie's lefty Xmas and was very impressed. I love both albums - this is the new one.

#5x1

This one has been one of my favourites this year! Probably not entirely safe for work though!

Hey #5x1 pals - what albums would you have picked if we'd done our end of year listening this year? Need suggestions to help drag me through the last few days of work.

All the best people were part of the #5x1 crowd.

#5x1 really did keep me sane through many bouts of Covid, fucking brilliant lot

AOTY Line up from 2022: looking at this, there were some proper good albums that year Dec 12 @thermalsatsuma - Out of this frame by Rachel Taylor-Beales Dec 13 @sammyg1965 - Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbot - NK pop Dec 14 - @mike_resound - Shilpa Ray - Portrait of a lady Dec 15 - @megabrow12 Ditz - The Great Regression Dec 16 - @woolbotherer - Cheekface - Too Much To Ask Dec 17th (Sat) AndyMcH - Otoboke Beaver - Super Champon Dec 19 - LjBroughton - Nova Twins - Supernova Dec 20 - @NealP55 Giant Walker - All In Good Time Dec 21 - @j_howlett - Smino - Luv 4 rent Dec 22 - @dipurple - Walt Disco - Unlearning Dec 23 @vitriolamusic - Horsegirl - Versions of Modern Performance

I mean.. their debut was literally my #5x1 album of the year in 2022.
The day after your pick. How much more can I do??

@impq.bsky.social I've had a thought. Exciting I know. Third one this year. Seeing as there's no IMPQ tomorrow could we be doing some homework? Like a #5x1 but not really.

I reckon we could all listen to a live album eg Beast Over Hammersmith and get our thoughts ready for when you do an episode?

Esse tesão não me deixa em paz! Alguém me ajuda?

Question for, well anyone really, but mostly the @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social and #5x1 crew:
How many songs do you reckon you know all* the lyrics** to? Cos I worry that the space in my head filled with lyrics might be better used for something else..

..and this is such an old man post, but I do miss that way of hearing music. We sort of kind of had that on twitter with #5x1 and here with Kent but it’s listening to prescribed albums on your own, not hearing Ice Cream Man by Jonathan Richman whilst eating your Frosties and…

Did we listen to this on #5x1 or am I imagining it?

If any Cat Stevens fans follow me, the super deluxe (4CD, 2LP, blu-ray and hardback book) edition of Mona Bone Jakon is currently a bonkers £27 on Amazon. It's a wonderful album and a huge, gorgeous set which was over £150 when it came out. #5x1

We did a Slipknot album for #5x1 Did you have a note for that day?

Broken Chanter and Oceanator from 2024. And then things from 2000 and 1989 for bestalbumbrackets. #5x1

1001Albums by Neil Hopkins on Album Whale These are the albums I’ve been listening to from the 1001 Albums project

Here’s what I’ve been listening to this week- how about you? #5x1

Check out my album list, 1001Albums, on Album Whale! albumwhale.com/neil-hopkins...

Oooh #5x1 a listening project?

That's the one we did on #5x1 I have loved it ever since.

Vitriola by Silverfish on Apple Music Song · 1992 · Duration 3:52

Why didn't we listen to THIS Vitriola? #5x1

@megabrow12.bsky.social sorry to miss a #5x1 but I listened to the first 20 seconds and it was an immediate and visceral naaahh from me. Up for a few AOTY ones if others are

I should be around for most of December, other than a few days when I'm not. I'm also happy to do a spreadsheet to map it all out - I don't know if that's helpful or counts as organising, but I'm OK with spreadsheets! #5x1

Cheers @megabrow12.bsky.social for organising that! It was great fun to listen to a basically fine album with you all! #5x1

If we’ve learned anything today (and I hope we haven’t), it’s that picking an album based purely on its title, does not guarantee it’s a classic.
#5x1

Thank you, mate! Well organised and very much appreciated. Good to see you all! #5x1

A completely average album but it got the old gang back together, so hurrah! #5x1

And that’s Vitriola. Whiny, annoying voices, it goes on too long and it’s just about OK. #5x1

I might even nod my head in appreciation a couple of times #5x1

This instrumental break should have ended 2 or 3 minutes ago #5x1
