39. Mohammad Syfkhan - I Am Kurdish (2024 🇸🇾)

His closing set at 2024’s Supersonic was easily the most joyous live experience of recent years. Just a guy in a suit, his bouzouki & beatbox, and a few hundred brummies going wild. Even the security joined in

My lungs encrusted in blood
But the flex is now cut clear”

38. Lisa O’Neill - Old Note (2022 🇮🇪)
⭐️ 12 Points ⭐️

Back home to the grey, wet and a massively overflowing inbox, so it needs to be my number 1 pick to cheer me up.

A song that sounds completely timeless, so happy to have finally seen her sing it live

37. Chouk Bwa & The Ångströmers - Sala (2023 🇭🇹/ 🇧🇪)

I like a lot of stuff on the Bongo Joe label but this one really stood out

36. Nadine Shah - Greatest Dancer (2024 🇬🇧)

The album’s not an easy listen but this stands out, and was fantastic live. Great drumming

35. Bill Callahan - Pigeons (2020 🇺🇸)

“Hello I’m Johnny Cash”

In which Bill offers advice to newlyweds and uses the word plenipotentiary

34. Goat - Under No Nation (2022 🇸🇪)

They’ve been ridiculously prolific over the last few years, and consistently great too. This seems to be the pick of choice and this time I won’t disagree

33. Einstürzende Neubauten - Taschen (2020 🇩🇪)

Went to Copenhagen to see them for my 50th and this was one of the highlights. Taschen = bags, which provide the percussion for this track

30. Jeff Parker ETA IVtet - Freakadelic (2024 🇺🇸/🇦🇺)

Anna Butterss’ bass line is so good it would ease the worst of situations, such as getting to Birmingham Airport for an early morning flight

#5debutalbums1014 Seem to remember being a bit disappointed in this at the time, and hence haven’t played it in ages. God knows what I was thinking, it’s fantastic and even has a decent shot of being in my 5

29. Richard Dawson & Circle - Lily (2021 🇬🇧/🇫🇮)

Geordie folk meets Finnish prog-metal to tell a story of a nurse seeing the ghosts of recently deceased patients.

Obviously therefore the video is…Steve Davis playing snooker

#5debutalbums1014 NY punk-funk meets North African jazz, this one’s a certainty. Outrageously good live too

27. Little Simz ft. Obongjayar - Point & Kill (2021 🇬🇧/🇳🇬)

Amazingly I don’t think I’ve seen a pick for this yet, and brilliant as Gorilla, Woman etc are this is the one

Maxine Peake narrated oddball electronica. Commemorating the 400th anniversary of the Pendle witch trials while touching on feminism, austerity and barm cakes. Brilliant record #5debutalbums1014

Someone needs to explain to this pair that the clocks went back nearly a week ago and it’s definitely not lunchtime yet

The big screen by the drinks machine at work has been playing a video on loop all day featuring an interview with George Osborne, and seeing his face every time I left my desk has driven me to drink
