Just gave this one by Built to Spill a spin for the first time in ages. My Music league has a song from 1999 week. Between a song from this and Supergrass’ eponymous album . Love both records.

#newmusic2025 Hoping this new Lucy Dacus album is a grower. First listen has left me totally underwhelmed. She sounds like she is going through the motions. Loved her last two records

#5albums70s4 Nailed on for my top 5 I would think. Love this record and some very sad lyrics following the deaths of Bruce Berry and Danny Whitten.

Avoid picking Bowie often as he doesn’t need the votes 😂 but can’t avoid this one. My favourite record of his and still sounds fresh.

FA Cup on a Thursday night and I can’t find any of the matches on TV. Game has gone.

@cjdonnelly72.bsky.social Have you watched ‘ Say Nothing’? I read the book a few years back - TV adaption on Disney plus is really good. We are about halfway through.

Last night's beautiful session from Shack is on Sounds. Thanks again to Mick, John and Nat (not pictured). Tonight it's The All Christmas Pre-Christmas Christmas Programme. A great broadcasting tradition alongside All Star Record Breakers. Pic by @marcrileydj.bsky.social

Excellent - thx for getting them on. For those who need an intro to the epic Waterpistol - here’s blog setting out what makes it so great upwardsat45.substack.com/p/shacks-wat...
Shack's Waterpistol - Mersey paradise
Liverpool….The place where certain forms of music just seem to soak into the skin of their song writers, with a confidence and a world view of their own.
