Nouvelle Vague ft. Cœur de Pirate – 'Voilà les Anges' (2010, not a single)

'Couleurs sur Paris' is a lovely album. Their takes on old French songs sound fresh as the originals are less familiar than their Joy Division cover that everyone remembers

Gruff Rhys – ‘Liberty (Is Where We’ll Be)’ (2014)

Some nice Welsh Americana. Shazamed this in a pub at the time it was out, and still really like it, but I understand it’s from a concept album, so haven’t explored any further

Julia Holter – ‘Feel You’ (2015)

**12/10**

Posting this shimmering masterpiece on day one in a shameless trawl for HM boosts after it failed to qualify for #FearOfMu21c with only three picks (a wild score of 33, with each of those an 11-point bonus)

Exhausted by trying to decide who's now too unpalatable for #TheTenX5. Do I still like 'Oblivion' enough, post-M*sk? Can I face 'Round and Round', after 6 Jan 2021? At least I was never that keen on '212' (from her Wikipedia page: "She later said in an interview that she did not eat the cat")

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42, post the second sentence.

"It might be time to put Marx's famous quote back on its feet: 'Social scientists have transformed the world in various ways; the point, however, is to interpret it'".

"The quiet felt abrupt, as if children had been playing there just moments before."

Thinking about Bowie today, like everyone. When I found him at 13, it was exciting that he *knew* stuff - there were books and artists and films in his records, and that felt like a gateway into some kind of adulthood. I know others also got that from his sexuality, but I was a library nerd already

What was your #childhoodcinema ?

The George in Portobello, Edinburgh. They let me and my pals in to see the then-X-rated 'Enter the Dragon' in 1973 – we were eight. Good times

Hogmanay as always at our street’s wee ceilidh in the church hall. Dance caller’s instructions just reminded me of the lovely word ‘birl’, and I’m going to start using it in class

Had been planning to boost something but haven't had the time to go through the playlist properly. So I'm chucking this one in instead, as I'm surprised she seems to have had no picks yet
