Just finished reading this provocative, honest account of a life filled with challenges but ultimately finding hope in simplifying and slowing down. #BookSky

#my9albums #MusicSky That was surprisingly hard and have had to leave out albums by Neil Young, Nick Drake, the Smiths and more but these have been the albums that have consistently soundtracked my life and shaped my musical taste!

Mark @marklawrence79.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

#5DebutAlbums9094 #MusicChallenge Far too many great debuts in this period to pick just 5 @richards7370.bsky.social , so a good excuse to give them all a good listen. Starting with the genius that was Jeff Buckley!

#5debutalbums00-04 #MusicChallenge Trawling through my record collection and came across this by Lowgold which absolutely loved when it came out at the start of the 00s

Mark @marklawrence79.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

#5debutalbums00-04 #MusicChallenge Some great albums came out at the start of the 00s, including this 1 from 2003. I enjoyed it as a bit of a novelty at the time but the guitar noodling and subsequent albums show Justin Hawkins and Co were no 1 trick pony!
