Today's mince pie is Sainsbury's entry level version. Edges out the co op in store bakery one from yesterday.

Apart from achtung baby I'm not a big U2 fan. But the algorithms suggested Joshua Tree so I revisited for the first time in 30 years. Ignoring the front loaded singles I'd forgotten how the rest was blues and Americana tinged. Classic album may be a classic after all shock.

I've gone a bit early with the mince pies. Although it's never too early for them.

This might be the only album I'll ever need. It still doesn't end well for the chicken man on this version.

I quite like this. Normally not my thing but a bit gothy and owes a big debt to Shakespeare's sister. Heartworms glutton for punishment.

Kids table bright eyes. A bit bright eyes by numbers. Perhaps he's written too many songs at this point. Always worth checking out though.

I'm still not getting this one, it all sounds a bit samey until the last track. I liked auto fiction a lot and it's in the same vein but this maybe needs a few more goes. I always revert back to suede, dog man star and sci-fi lullabies anyway.

A lot of love for this band on my bluesky feed. Not a band I'm familiar with but I did catch the end of their set at a festival over the summer. My teen liked them. So I'm giving this a go today. The Chameleons, Arctic Moon.

Thanks to @jhonnybravo27.bsky.social who reminded me of the short lived period where the UK tried to get its own GnR/aerosmith. Here's the dogs d'amour with the only album of theirs I remember. Every song is about drinking/alcoholism.

I forgot I discovered this earlier in the year but the algorithm reminded me. A good end to the working week. Westkust: S/T. This could be an alvvays album.
