I love to discover bands which I had missed when they were active (or was too young). One of my favourite record shops played this on a recent visit and I instantly loved it. Galaxie 500 - On Fire. So quintessential late 1980s/early 90s indie.

That’s a great idea. I should maybe revive #DYM24 as an #AdventCalendar ?

Just listening for the first time to Kim Deal‘s album „Nobody Loves You More“ which was just released. Got the beautiful orange vinyl version yesterday at the record store.

It’s a triumph! Not surprised. Love love love.

4 albums in a square.

Why can I never leave the record store with just one record? 🙃
Got some classics that were missing in my collection and an anniversary release of one of my favourites today. #TheWalkabouts #Gossip #DinosaurJr #TheXX

A turquoise vinyl record on a record player. In the background is the album cover which features a photograph of a felt artwork showing a larger person holding a smaller person. Al in black, white and several shades of blue.

#NowSpinning the new Tindersticks‘ album „Soft Tissue“ . It’s beautiful, very rich and powerful & also quiet and vulnerable. Like Stuart A. Staple‘s amazing voice, the pretty turquoise #Vinyl & the evocative artwork on the cover. Love it.
#DYM24

A 10 inch vinyl record on a record player. Cover in the background showing a scary drawing of a skeleton with a bloody butcher’s knife and an open skull.

#NowSpinning a recent record store find: 10” picture disc Dinosaur jr - Start Choppin. This is the song that introduced me to the genius of Dinosaur jr back in the mid-1990s when I religiously watched MTV’s 120 minutes as a wee teenager and formed my taste in music. #vinyl #DYM24 #GoodMemories

Black vinyl record on a black turntable. Album cover in the background showing a gotta of two girls embracing. Colours are purple & orange.

I listened to Smashing Pumpkins’ Siamese Dream again this morning. Haven’t done this for ages. Still holds up as one the greatest rock records of the 1990s, I think.
My #vinyl is a gatefold reissue from 2011 with a new cover.
#DYM24 #NowSpinning

A grey silver vinyl record on a black turntable. Album cover in the background. The cover is a simple grey white with the words WILD GOD

Finally had the time to listen to the new Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album Wild God. It’s beautiful. #NowSpinning

Might continue #DYM24 but not on a regular basis. Anything you like to see from my #vinyl collection?

I decided not to continue with #DYM24 . It was great fun but ultimately the cause of stress too . A daily post was a bit too ambitious. I guess I will post from my #vinyl #collection occasionally still. Thanks everyone who participated & recommended #music. I really appreciate you.

Vacation is starting & I’ll take a wee break from #DYM24 & social media.
This morning I listened to Mull Historical Society - Wakelines. Great preparation for our trip to Scotland, including Mull.
See you all again in July & don’t forget to choose from the matrix below! #NowSpinning #Vinyl

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @nmkennedy.bsky.social : alt-J - The Dream. This is the latest release from one of my favourite bands of the last decade. Their distinctive sound & energy is a bit more varied & playful on this album than the earlier ones. Really like it.

#DYM24 instructions below 👇🏻

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @nmkennedy.bsky.social : Sophia - Technology won’t save us. Great band , great album, fantastic title. I use this line all the time.

2 more albums/days before I’ll take a wee vacation break from #DYM24 . Y’all can choose the albums for July onwards from the matrix below 👇🏻

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @brookenewman.bsky.social : Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy. Released in 1993. This is 1 of my favourite albums from the early 1990s when as a wee teenager I started to develop my taste in music. Still like to listen to this often. All songs are fab.

#DYM24 instructions below 👇🏻

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @pillenperle.bsky.social : Lambchop - FLOTUS. This is more electronic than the earlier albums. Love the opening & closing tracks. Both over 10 minutes. Kurt Wagner‘s voice is marvellous as always. Great stuff.

For #DYM24 instructions see below 👇🏻

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @wouterwagemakers.bsky.social : PJ Harvey - White Chalk Demos. White Chalk is 1 of my favourite albums of hers & the Demos version is my absolute favourite of the Demos series . I think they work best for this very album. Just utterly beautiful.

#DYM24 instructions below..

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @melinabuns.bsky.social : Die Sterne - Grandezza. What a fitting choice, Melina: music from Hamburg. It is their greatest hits album released earlier this year, containing all the classics from the 1990s but also a few gems from the later albums. Good stuff.

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @sabineclarke.bsky.social : Perfume Genius - Learning. This is his debut album from 2010. Really beautiful and evocative songs. Already prefigures the stunning 2nd & 3rd albums which I love. Hope you like it too, Sabine.

#DYM24 instructions below the image 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @dollyjorgensen.bsky.social : Electrelane - No shouts no calls. One of my favourite bands and definitely one of my absolutely favourite albums. This brings me joy always. Fab cover too! Great choice, Dolly! 🙏🏻

#DYM24 instructions below the image. Take your pick y’all!

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @nmkennedy.bsky.social : Tindersticks - No Treasure But Hope.
Love this band a lot. This album is a bit on the saccharine side though. Stuart A. Staples’ voice however is always a joy to listen to. Plus, the title track & „See my girls“, „Tough Love“ are great songs.

Indeed. Thank you. This will be playing Tuesday & Wednesday next week after which I will be going for a wee vacation in Scotland and take a break from #DYM24 for about a fortnight. Hope y’all can cope. 😉

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @nmkennedy.bsky.social : Dinosaur Jr. - Sweep It Into Space. It's the latest release (from 2021) from 1 of my favourite bands. Another terrific album. Love that Lou Barlow sings the lead vocals on the song he has written: "Garden“ & "You Wonder“ are beautiful.

#DYM24 music project for 2024: I'll listen to 1
#vinyl record from my collection each day but I need your help. Please choose a letter/number combination from the image below (ALT-Text provided). All white fields are available. All yellow fields have already been #NowSpinning. What’s your choice?

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @nmkennedy.bsky.social : Portishead - Portishead. I love this perfect album so much. Out of this world voice & amazing songwriting! Wonderful soundtrack to winding down after a fun packed weekend with a dear friend visiting from the UK.

#DYM24 instructions 👇🏻

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @finnarne.me : Belle & Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap.
I was a big B&S fan around 2000 but have lost interest a bit. But when I saw this anniversary edition recently I had to have it. Sleep the Clock Around, Seymour Stein & The Rollercoaster Ride are great songs.

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @kawetj.bsky.social : Allo Darlin’ - Allo Darlin’.
This is their debut album from 2010 & I got a lovely translucent blue #vinyl . Very cheerful album with a few melancholic notes. "Let's go swimming" is just a lovely lovely song.

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @melinabuns.bsky.social : Pixies - Trompe Le Monde.
This is maybe my (& probably many other fans‘) least favourite Pixies album but has some great songs like Alec Eiffel & Letter to Memphis, as well as the fabulous Bird Dream of the Olympus Mons. Also beautiful green #vinyl

#DYM24 #NowSpinning for @perchperchson.bsky.social : Perfume Genius - Ugly Season. Love Perfume Genius but I’m afraid this album is a bit too “jazzy” for me. Really like the title track though & unsurprisingly “Pop Song”. 😆
The album cover is terrific too.
