🗣️ Lush
🎶 Never-Never
🗓️ June 1994
My favourite Lush song bar none - an absolutely thrill ride of a song in a similar vein to the better known, and almost equally as enthralling, Desire Lines.

💿 Franks Wild Years
🎶 More Than Rain
I love when Waits goes carnivalistic - this song has that Halloweeny vibe that is just so irresistible, and cracks the top half of my list as the first of two from this stunning album.

"We can remember quiet side of midnight
We can remember attraction of fame
Like a glittering prize
I saw you up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away"

Waits went six years between releasing the absurdly fantastic Black Rider and this equally excellent record, but made it surely worth the wait from start to finish.

Ethereal is the closest I can come up with, but that doesn't come close to doing justice to the majesty and power of Cocteau Twins' finest work.

The cover isn't as white as it's meant to be, but the music has lost none of its sheen almost half a century since its release.
'Quiet Life' was Japan's major breakthrough, the album that elevated them above their peers, and rewrote all of the rules.

If you show me a more appropriately rainy afternoon album than 'Blue', I'll show you a liar.
Perhaps Joni Mitchell's best known record, and certainly one of her best.
The biographical nature of every facet of relationships makes for a tough yet rewarding listen.

Brian Eno released 'Another Green World' #OnThisDay in 1975.
A fabulous midpoint between his rock based material and the ambient scene he would master, this sounds just as otherworldly today as it did half a century ago.
Only 5 vocal tracks out of 14, but completely immersive.

David Bowie's 'Space Oddity' was released #OnThisDay in 1969.
Far from his finest work, but famous for the single that gave the record its eventual name, the album proved to be a landmark in his artistic development, ditching the music hall style of the debut.

Lee Renaldo seriously considered leaving Sonic Youth in the 90s.
His songs were largely ignored. And look, who are any of us to tell that band what they got right and wrong.
But when you blast out 'Wish Fulfillment', it's crazy we didn't get more of him front and centre 👇

Private passions and secret storms"
