22. The Fall - Before the Moon Falls

An underappreciated track from 'Dragnet' (1979). If Slates is an EP 😉 then this is my fave album by The Fall.

Day 9: The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored

To 14/15 year old me, they were the coolest band on the planet. The music (Mani’s bass intro here), the clothes (baggy jeans, money shirts, Chipie tops), the swagger. A ridiculously photogenic bunch.

24. Scars - Adult/ery

Released in 1979 on the Fast Product label. The 'Adultery/Horrowshow' single is surely one of the finest Scottish post-punk releases.

Ahead of its time. It's post-punk at the time of proto-punk.

Day 5: Squeeze - Hourglass

Directed by Ade Edmondson (1987). Reminds me of summer holidays. Surrealism and optical illusions (including the water mirror technique used in Evil Dead 2, released earlier that year).
