I was supposed to be spinning some newly purchased records today but got a bit distracted! It’s been a blissful, My Bloody Valentine Sunday. This is as good as it gets, musically, for me. Absolute heaven 🙌🏼😎

Last one before the football. Beautiful, haunting, folky vibes from Findlay Brown with Separated by the Sea. An overlooked gem 🤩👌🏼 #5DebutAlbums0509

Crikey. Another one that I can’t possibly leave out of my #5DebutAlbums0509. Grandaddy’s Jason Lytle with his stunning debut solo album Yours Truly, The Commuter. It’s basically a Grandaddy album 😅🙌🏼 Goosebumps 🤤

Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger won’t quite make my top #5DebutAlbums0509 but the song Elusive is right up there with my favourite songs from this era. Stunning track 🤤 I see the album is getting its first ever vinyl release on RSD too. Very tempting 🤔

I haven’t listened to The Fauns debut for ages. Really enjoyed that 🤩 Not sure it’ll make my #5DebutAlbums0509 but it’s definitely played its way back into some regular rotation. The Sun is Cruising is a proper tune! 🔥

I haven’t had a proper look at a list of #5DebutAlbums0509 yet, but I’d be surprised if Silversun Pickups - Carnavas wasn’t in my 5. My wife and I have both loved this album (which is rare) for 20 years and it is drench in nostalgia of our time living (and partying) in Manchester’s Northern Quarter🤗

Fleet Foxes 🙌🏼🤤 Any easy 🥇 for my #5DebutAlbums0509. Unreal production that really hits the sweet spot of my Bowers 703 S3 speakers. It’s like they were made for each other 🤩

Me & my wife are both working from home today, quarantined away from our respective offices & colleagues. I’m on day 4 of horrendous, crippling man flu! She just has a mild sniffle😉😬 Always asking to listen to “something funky”, which isn’t really my bag but The Go! Team are always a good compromise

Top quality, 45rpm 2LP, reissue of Blind by The Sundays. No easy task to follow up a perfectly flawless album like Reading, Writing and Arithmetic but, I have to say, since owning this reissue on vinyl, my appreciation of it has sky rocketing. Gorgeous album. 🥰

Half of my office finish at 4pm and Kiss FM etc finally stops playing, so I took over the office speaker to play Midlake. Fuck me, you’d think I’d put on some of the most experimental, avant-garde, left-field music ever recorded, based on the reaction from the music muggles 🙄😅

Weekends are usually very lazy around these parts, but we’ve a busy day ahead today; once we get these teenagers out of their pits (this is early for them, and me, to be honest!) Coffee is flowing and MBV - Ecstasy is cranked up to 11 🔥 Ecstasy & Coffee, you might say 👀 I’ll get my coat 🚕 #MusicSky
