#NowPlaying #MusicSky Courtney Marie Andrews - Valentine Another 2026 favourite album and a real return to form for CMA, after 2022’s Loose Future, which I couldn’t get into. But this is right up there with Old Flowers and Honest Life, for me 🙌🏼 Another top quality, Dinked Edition, pressing too 🤗

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Widowspeak- Roses Another favourite album, so far, this year. Simply gorgeous 🤤 Played this in the office the other day and it even caused a couple of the music muggles to show some interest and enquire as to who it was.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Courtney Barnett - Creature of Habit One of my favourites this year. It’s become my morning commute soundtrack over the last couple of weeks, to help prepare for the day. Easy choice for my Saturday starter to hear it on wax after all that streaming. Flawless Dinked pressing🙌🏼

#My5FaveAlbumsSoFar 1. Asteroid No.4 2. Courtney Marie Andrews 3. Widowspeak 4. Courtney Barnett 5. Feeble Little Horse Slim pickings for me so far. Loving this top 4 though. Very little between them. Swim Deep not totally hitting the spot just yet and still need to spend some proper time with BOC

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Brother Bird - Another Year Only discovered this 2024 album, a couple of weeks ago, but it’s become my current obsession. Gorgeous vocals and hooks galore 🤤

#last4albums #MusicSky • The Streets - Original Pirate Material • The Streets - A Grand Don’t Come For Free • Brother Bird - Another Year • Bjork - Debut Nothing quite gives me genuine goosebumps like the uplifting moment of Empty Cans! Every single time. 🤗

#NowPlaying #MusicSky The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field Wow! 🤯 🙌🏼 Hooked. Can’t stop playing this. Late to the party. Straight Line was my introduction to them, so I now have the pleasure of exploring their back catalogue. Wonder what it sounds like on vinyl 🤔 For research purposes, obviously 👀

Remember when you thought this film had the worst officiating and corruption you’d ever see in football? 👀

#5DebutAlbumsSF1 1. Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted 2. Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy 3. Doves - Lost Souls 4. Rodriguez - Cold Fact 5. Velvet Underground & Nico Too many joint 6th albums to mention 🤯

#last4albums #MusicSky • BRMC - Howl • BRMC - Beat the Devil’s Tattoo • The Beths - Straight Line Was a Lie • Turin Brakes - The Optimist LP Those BRMC LPs are never far from my ears. Howl is in my top 20 all time list. The Beths just gets better & better. So good! 🙌🏼 Must explore their earlier LPs

Haven’t shared #AppleMusicReplay stats for a while. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides firmly back in rotation after 5DebutAlbums in May. Even purchased the vinyl, finally. Became obsessed again with Turin Brakes debut last month. An absolute joy. Such a tight groove on Underdog, and as for that solo! 🤤

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Swallow - Blow (Blown Reissue) This has been on the vinyl wish list for years, so it was a no brainer when this, long overdue, reissue was announced. Absolutely stoked to have this on wax. Fantastic pressing too 🔥 Essential shoegaze 🎸🔊🤤 Loving the vocal version of Lovesleep!🙌🏼

#NowPlaying #MusicSky The Asteroid No.4 - In Praise of Shadows Wasn’t digging this one at all, at first, but I revisited it a couple of weeks ago and it really clicked. Vinyl purchase was inevitable. Might even be my AOTY, at present, although it only has 3 competitors in my collection so far.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Pink Breath of Heaven - Colors Make a Sound Huge thanks to @richierouse.bsky.social for picking up a copy of this when he saw them live recently, and posting it on. Legend 🙌🏼 Sounding glorious on wax 🤩 Already on its 3rd spin.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Phoebe Bridgers - Lost Boys She’s back! I rarely buy 7” singles, as I can’t usually be bothered to play them, but I had to make an exception in this case. Lovely acoustic version on side B too. 🙌🏼

The Dead Religion stripped down set on fire this afternoon.

Here’s some half time clouds.

Who says men can’t multitask!? 👀😅 The track is laced with bum notes but I haven’t missed a single minute of play ⚽️ Ooh hydration break - time to top up the Moretti 🍻😅

#last4albums #MusicSky • Velveteen - My Dreams Are Changing EP • Blankenberge - Decisions • Widowspeak - Roses • The Stone Roses (my original, outer sleeve-less copy)

#5DebutAlbums2026 1. Julie - My Anti-Aircraft Friend 2. Helens - Somewhere in Nowhere 3. Bdrmm - Bedroom 4. Hotline TNT - Nineteen in Love 5. Velveteen - Empty Crush Joint 6ths: Cigarettes For Breakfast, Horsegirl, No Kill, Boygenius, Pink Breath of Heaven, Knifeplay, Wishy, Snocaps, Mt Misery 🤯

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Hotline TNT - Nineteen in Love [2021] Absolutely buzzin’ to finally get a copy of their debut album on vinyl. Been on the wishlist for years 🔥🙌🏼 🎸🔊 #5DebutAlbums2026

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Gene Clark - White Light Last one for tonight. My favourite Gene album. Absolute legend. For me, one of the finest songwriters ever. The Master, as one of my friends refers to him as 🙌🏼

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Cigarettes For Breakfast - Slow Motion One of my top 5 albums from last year. Just gets better with every listen! 🎸 🔊 🔥 🤤

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Helens - Somewhere in Nowhere [2022] Oooft! 🤜🏼💥 Surely, has to be in my #5DebutAlbums2026. A monster of an alt-rock/shoegaze album. Went up another level on vinyl too. Beefy as fuck! 🔊 Mirage Rock is a beast of a tune 🔥 🎸

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Boygenius - The Record This wasn’t an instant hit with me, maybe because that debut EP was such a hard act to follow, what with it containing 6 of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard! 🙌🏼😆 Anyway, this LP has totally grown on me, as has The Rest EP. #5DebutAlbums2026 contender 🔥

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Julien Baker & Torres - Send a Prayer My Way [2025] My 2025 AOTY and still on heavy rotation; make this a definite contender for my #5DebutAlbums2026. JB always seemed to deliver my favourite work of hers, when she’s collaborating, not just here but also with boygenius 🙌🏼

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Velveteen - Empty Crush [2022] Very strong contender for my #5DebutAlbums2026 🔥 Beautiful noise from the London shoegazers. Very excited for the brand new 6 track EP due for release later this month too. Can’t wait 🙌🏼

#last4albums #MusicSky My Bloody Valentine edition 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 • EPs 1988-91 • Isn’t Anything • Loveless • m b v

#NowPlaying #MusicSky bdrmm - Bedroom Off the top of my head, this is top 3 for my #5DebutAlbums2026 🔥 Sonic Cathedral royalty! 🙌🏼 An album that was ever present through lockdown and a big deal on music twitter. 2 failed/postponed attempts to see them live but finally saw them support Ride in 2022.
