Listening to my entire music collection and documenting it on BlueSky
Backxwash - Only Dust Remains
This one is a grower. It definitely takes a few listens to appreciate. Experimental, conscious, varied hip hop
History of Violence is a particularly potent song

Gig Night!
Clutch / 1000 Mods / Bokassa
@Manchester Academy
Finally ticked Clutch off my bucket list.
My last outing of 2025 and a hell of a way to end the gigging year.

Who's for some medieval fantasy heavy metal?
Cool album. Another one that I've listened to quite extensively lately. Its pretty epic.

Affliction Vortex by Dawn of Solace isn't the most inventive album but it's a really solid metal album tinged with gothic and doomy elements. Right up my strasse

Posthumous releases can sometimes be a tricky proposition. Not in this case. Balloonerism, recorded over a decade ago is a really strong release. Mac Miller's talent at wordplay is on full display. The beats and flow are engaging. Great album 🙏

I saw Witch Fever supporting Volbeat a couple of months ago and they were great. Well worth a spin, the new album (FEVEREATEN) is great and is another one that I've had on rotation lately

Its safe to say that Pupil Slicer won't be everyone's cup of tea
However I have been enjoying it on repeat over this last month. Much like Lord Snow, they deliver blasts of noise in invigoratingly inventive ways.
The album, Fleshwork, all builds to the epic closer...Cenote

My #LetterboxdFriday is looking a little grim (at least 3 of the 4)
Not sure what came over me watching Barefoot Gen, Grave of the Fireflies and Threads all in a row 🤯
Grim masterpieces, all of them. Though it will likely be a while before I do that again
