I was supposed to be spinning some newly purchased records today but got a bit distracted! It’s been a blissful, My Bloody Valentine Sunday. This is as good as it gets, musically, for me. Absolute heaven 🙌🏼😎

Only just had my first look at #5DebutAlbums1014. Haven’t double checked that they’re definitely all official debuts but, off the top of my head, they look to be ok. 3 albums are absolutely nailed on but 4 or 5 potentials to fit into my last 2 spots 🤔 Will enjoy listening to these today #MusicSky

4. I'm on Standby
A classic example of why Jason Lytle is one of my favourite lyricists. A song that I really started relating to, about 6 years ago, which elevated it to a firm favourite/comfort song of mine 🙌🏼
