🎵Now Playing: Snapped Ankles - Hard Times Furious Dancing (2025)
The lead single Raoul was an instant hit for me. The rest of the new songs continue in that vein - weird, thumping, agitating- the album title speaks for itself.

🎵Now Playing: Blondie @ Glastonbury (2023)
I make a playlist of most of the gigs I attend, to try and recapture those moments. With the sad news that Blondie’s drummer Clem Burke has passed away, I thought I’d listen to the set list from the only time I saw them live, a sunny Glastonbury Sunday in 2023. They still sounded great after all these years.

🎵Now Playing: Tune-Yards - W H O K I L L (2011)
Tune-Yards have a new album coming out, and I wanted to revisit this album. I actually discovered them live, before I’d heard anything, at Manchester’s famous Deaf Institute back in 2011. They blew me away, sounded like no-one else, and this album is still a favourite. I hope she’s touring the new album and keeping some classics in the setlist, I want to hear Bizness live again.

A walk in the sun will cure most ails.
🎵Now Playing: Tom Vek - We Have Sound (2005)
This album is exactly the kind of sloppy indie/electronic music I need on a sunny Friday afternoon. Weekend ahoy!
Favourite Tracks:
Learned how to wire a light fitting, and the new office/guest room is pretty much done. Last bit to build - the desk.
Just watched the Severance finale. Loved it. Please don’t make us wait years for S3. 📺
🎵Now Playing: SBTRKT - SBTRKT (2011)
I needed some momentum so I could fit all my work in this afternoon. This provided that momentum. Tunes.
Favourite Tracks:
Having a room decorated over the weekend. I’ve had to empty it and so the rest of the house is a complete mess. It’s worth it. It’s worth it. It’s worth it.
🎵Now Playing: Divorce - Drive to Goldenhammer (2025)
I assume I heard this band on 6Music sometime, but I saw this album in my “to-listen” pile and for this chilly, sunny, Salford day it was pretty perfect from the get-go. They play Manchester in April so I’ll definitely be getting a ticket to see how they are live.
