🎵Now Playing: Fishmans - Kuuchuu Camp (1996)
I don’t know how or why Fishmans ended up on my “Albums to listen to” playlist but I’m very glad I did. Some 90s Japanese dream/trip/psych pop was what I needed this afternoon (I have forgotten how to do my job).
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Villagers - Becoming a Jackal (2010)
I’m stressing at work trying to cram everything in before the big trip. And Villagers can whisk me away into an indie-folk ethereal world while I deal with data. A stunning, lyrical album full of emotion and pictures.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger (2005)
6music had them on today to celebrate 20 (TWENTY) years since it’s release. With that and seeing The Maccabees tonight I’m absolutely delighted to be reliving my youth.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (2007)
I haven’t listened to Muse for ages, and normally I wouldn’t stray far from Origin of Symmetry or Absolution but they headlined my first ever festival (Benicassim, 2007) on this tour so I have a soft spot for it. Opening the set with Knights of Cydonia blew my teenage head clean off.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Santigold - Santogold (2008)
It’s Monday and I’m drinking a Lucozade (orange flavour obviously, I’m not a mentalist who drinks original). I clearly needed a pep in my step this afternoon so we’re back to the 00’s with Santigold’s fantastic debut.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Klaxons - Myths of the Near Future (2007)
It’s hot, sunny, and a Friday. 00’s nu-rave seems appropriate, and this is the 00’s nu-raviest of them all. Wall-to-wall bangers.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Yeasayer - Odd Blood (2010)
I totally forgot about Yeasayer. Yeasayer used to exist. I used to sing the ooh’s from Madder Red all the time. I will try not to forget about Yeasayer again.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Oasis - The Masterplan (1998)
If you didn’t know, Oasis are back. Everyone I know who got tickets say it was the best gig of their lives. Anyway, this collection of B-Sides is probably their second best album. Manchester vibes in the area.
Favourite Tracks:
🎵Now Playing: Bombay Bicycle Club - I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose (2009)
Am I listening to brilliant 00’s indie again? Yes, I am listening to brilliant 00’s indie again.

🎵Now Playing: St. Vincent - St. Vincent (2014)
Annie Clark is a guitar hero, and just a hero in general.
