LUSH
Today’s choice is GALA, a lovely reissue (yesterday !) of a 1990 comp which gathered up all of the first 3 Lush releases , a mini-LP and 2 EPs . They changed quite a bit over the years,this early stuff is the goldmine , hazy& ethereal , but with a real kick to it 💜❤️🧡

Day off tomorrow so I may well have a late one .
Kicking off with this beauty from 2023 . They released two albums on the same day and for me this is by far the greater , a sequel really to their masterpiece Coral Island .

This weeks #SundayMatinee is a Mike Leigh gem .
I haven’t seen it since it was in cinemas , despite owning the DVD since release . Fairly confident on its merits to be fair , I mean , has he ever made a bad film ?

3 albums in less than 3 years , you can quibble about order of greatness but what would be the point , each one is a masterpiece . . .
Tonight I’m playing the debut , from late 1988 .

This 2001 15 track round up of their “first incarnation” is simply magnificent for 2/3rds then fall away pretty sharply when it ventures beyond the second album , worth the outlay though as early RIDE were imperious ….🖤❤️

Julian Cope
I think it’s safe to say : one of THE greatest ever compilations .
Side 1 : Teardrops gems , Sides 2-4 : a trawl through his solo highlights to that point , up to and including the Peggy Suicide classic double LP .
Followed in short order by Jehovahkill ….

Sometimes I lie back and idly wonder : will I EVER tire of listening to this fluid , abstract , minimalist masterpiece .
The answer ,every time , of course is : will I fuck .
