Don't think I've listened to a full New Model Army album before and really dug it!
I'm luke warm on Marillion.

VICTORY!
I had to go tactical - sweeping rooms, clearing them, then locking them down, but The Grub did not avoid this bathtime!
Look at that clean pink nose!

Enjoyed discovering Sparks' Giorgio Moroder album!
Listened to the first half of that Thandii album - more funky and less dream poppy, but very cute.
Digging the doom dream of shedfromthebody, too! 🤘

I have been defeated. 😞
The Grub has been studying her Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape techniques. She managed to avoid bathtime altogether.!

Finally got around to "Lifeforce" and it is just as bonkers as it's cracked up to be.
A weird horny mashup of 2001 and Dracula - I loved it!

Heavier on the hip-hop than usual, and some interesting latin stuff in the mix, too!
Revisited Nicolas Jaar's excellent "Space is Only Noise".
Dug Oklou's album - the poppy end of dream pop.
Not massivey into twenty one pilots.

Loved that Thandii album - it's dream pop meets soul. 😻
The Allergies produce some pretty slick hip-hop.
And a nostalgic revisit of GugGus' "Polydistortion"

Revisited Pressure Drop's "Elusive" - an underrated absolute gem of 90s trip-hop. 😻
Loathe, who're usually alt metal, do great atmospheric post-rock/ambient on "The Things They Believe".
Tzusing does Zamilska-adjacent industrial techno that is very relevant to my interests! 😈

Love love loved "The Seduction Of Claude Debussy" by Art of Noise - will definitely be revisiting that. Kinda like a mixture of the best stuff that Lemon Jelly ever did with a documentary! 🤓

I was excited for dream-pop-meets-disco from Night Tapes. I think they've added a splash of yacht rock to their sound, too! 😆
The new Paradise Lost is tasty, as well. They've dabbled in doom, death, goth and new wave, and they bring it all together in one harmonious whole here!

I didn't find time to make another chart (and it wouldn't be that interesting a chart yet in any case) but here are the years people have declared they're doing for October's #20SongsByYear so far!

Yep, watching now! It's been a long time since I've watched The Young Ones, it's even weirder than I remembered! 😆

Really been enjoying that Black Country, New Road album - super proggy post-punk, very satisfying!
Huh. I have no memory of giving the new Hives a spin!

A little bit of everything, just how I like it.
Definitely going to be listening to more Vagif Mustafa Zadeh - he plays a fascinating mix of jazz and "mugham" - a traditional Azeri folk music. 🎹

This week's albums - by pure chance, listened to a lot of albums with more tracks than the average ambient album, so it's a more interesting collage than usual.
Almost finished working my way through Loudon Wainwright III's discography!

I am back on my bullshit (of revealing how much ambient I've been listening to the whole time, though actually, more like 1/3 this week...)

Made a vague effort this week to only listen to ambient and drone albums with less than 10 tracks, and suddenly it looks like I don't listen to that stuff at all! 😆
