The Heptones, On Top (1969)
Some loveliness before the football inevitably ruins Sunday.

Emma-Jean Thackray, Yellow (2021)
Very close to being included in my top 10 current female artists. I’m not keen on this year’s Weirdo, but this - her debut - is monumental. Regretting leaving her out now.

Joy Division, Substance (1988)
Continuing the theme of all time classic comps from M’cr 🙂 One for the ditch.

The Smiths, Hatful of Hollow (1984)
Continuing the theme of all time comps, and inspired by seeing a charming and urbane Mike Joyce on BBC News this morning..

The Buzzcocks, Singles Going Steady (1979)
Side one is fabulous of course, but the finest gems are on side two, right?

Simple Minds, Sons & Fascination (1981)
I’m hooked from the first 15 seconds of track one. Masterpiece.

The Catherine Wheel, Chrome (1993)
I was so wrong about this album. It’s entirely fabulous.

Freddie Hubbard, Red Clay (1970)
Friday night jazz par excellence. At the risk of repeating myself, the CD is the version you want. The two extra tracks are my pick, especially the sensational 18 min live version of the title track.
Joni Mitchell, Hejira (1976)
A change of pace, still my favourite Joni. Happy birthday, 82 years young today.

The Fall, Country On The Click (2003)
One more. It would be fair to say, one of the finest bands this century.

The Fall, Fall Heads Roll (2005)
For the price I thought I could win
The risk seemed mighty small
The bigger the fool the harder the fall

The Fall, Sub-Lingual Tablet (2015)
Today is a shithouse day. MES gets it, though.

Cate Le Bon, Michelangelo Dying (2025)
One of the gigs of the year, and one of the albums of the year.
(Don’t think the vinyl pressing is great sadly, sounds better streamed to me. Anyone else finding that?)

The Sisters of Mercy, Some Girls Wander By Mistake (1992)
Stellar classic line up comp. Getting in the mood for trick or treating with the family..

The Cure, Standing On A Beach (1986)
My well worn vinyl disappeared into the ether years ago. Streaming it does have benefits though, several great songs added and the ability to skip a few “unwelcome” ones…Happy Halloween.

Plains, I Walk With You Aways (2022)
Taking a break from WaxaKatie’s fab surprise new collab, by playing her last one. Just a fantastic album.

A rather nice start to the day..

Lightships, Lightships (2012)
The only problem with this dreamy, gorgeous album is you wish Gerry Love would give us more music. Nailed on.

Allo Darlin’, Allo Darlin’ (2010)
“all of the hipsters in Shoreditch could never style it.”
Quirky and irresistibly charming debut for fans of C86, Camera Obscura and The Go-Betweens. I prefer it to more sophisticated 2nd LP Europe. Ace!
