🎵Now Playing: Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks (1975)
Haven’t seen A Complete Unknown yet. But today felt like a Bob day, and this is currently my favourite album of his. He’s a genius.
Favourite tracks:
- Tangled Up In Blue
- Simple Twist of Fate
- Idiot Wind
- If You See Her, Say Hello
- Shelter from the Storm
- Buckets of Rain
🎵Now Playing: Aldous Harding - Warm Chris (2022)
Huge fan of Aldous Harding and I realised I hadn’t given this album much of a listen when it was released. Not quite as much oddness to the folk as in previous albums (or maybe I’m used to it), but enough to keep it interesting. Lovely stuff.
Favourite Tracks:
- Tick Tock
- Fever
- Lawn
- Passion Babe
- Leathery Whip
🎵Now playing: The National - Boxer (2007)
It’s started snowing outside again. This album (and this band) always makes me feel like I’m sat in front of an open flame. Hunker down.
Favourite tracks:
- Fake Empire
- Mistaken for Strangers
- Squalor Victoria
- Apartment Story
- Ada
🎵Now playing: The Beatles - Revolver (1966)
Back at work today, so thought I’d throw on an album I’ve ordered on vinyl with some Christmas money. It’s hard to pick a favourite Beatles album (The Best of the Beatles?) but this is my favourite Beatles album.
Favourite Tracks:
- Eleanor Rigby
- I’m Only Sleeping
- Here, There and Everywhere
- She Said She Said
- Good Day Sunshine
- And Your Bird Can Sing
- For No One
- Got To Get You Into My Life
- Tomorrow Never Knows
🎵Now Playing: This Is Lorelei - Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024)
This was The Lovely Robin’s™️ best album of the year, and it had completely passed me by so I thought I’d throw it on today. A lovely piece of work.
Best Tracks:
- Perfect Hand
- I’m All F****d Up
- Dancing in the Club
- An Extra Beat for You and Me
🎵Now Playing: Biffy Clyro - Infinity Land (2004)
Not gone through the back catalogue of Biffy for a while. Blackened Sky is still my favourite album but this occasionally bangs.
Best Tracks:
- Glitter and Trauma
- Wave Upon Wave Upon Wave
🎵Now Playing: TV on the Radio - Dear Science (2008)
I only remembered I love this band over the weekend so had to play this album today. Great way to start the week.
Best Tracks:
- Halfway Home
- Crying
- Golden Age
- Shout Me Out
- DLZ
🎵Now Playing: Laura Marling - Patterns (2024)
Laura Marling is a perfect artist. She’s already one of my favourite gigs of all time, and this album is a stripped back, beautiful, tender, moving piece of work. Sublime.
Best Tracks:
- Child of Mine
- No One’s Gonna Love You Like I Can
- Caroline
- Looking Back
🎵Now Playing: Joshua Idehen - Mum Does The Washing EP (2024)
My Spotify algorithm came good suggesting this to me. Absolutely loved it. Sharp, clever, heartfelt lyrics with great production. I see he’s playing Manchester in April, might have to grab a ticket.
Best Tracks:
- Mum Does The Washing
- Could Be Forever
- Tactics for Survival
- Once in a Lifetime (Talking Heads cover)
