My local got it on draft a couple of years ago. Think I drank most of it. I was in every day.

One of my faves. They do variations but so hard to get one. Their Aphrodisiaque Chocolate is also fantastic.

Kind of like if David Lynch and Benny Hill co-directed it.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched House. Will rewatch. Planned craziness. Weird soundtrack. Sad and goofy.

Surprised I didn’t do that. But Sonja Kristina had the prime poster spot.

Played mine last year for prob first time in 25 years. Had these posters that I had no memory of.

We used to play John Mayalls Turning Point LP a lot. Think they were on that.

If you cleared it twice then that was it. Machine in my local pub. I could clear it left handed pretty often.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal The Doors Some great songs on this. I only ever bought the live album. Never pulled the trigger on the others.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Realizing I’m not going to get to hear all 100. So giving my very beat up copy of this a spin.

How I explain cad politics to my Uk friends Con = reform Lib = conservative NDP = Lib Dems

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Oasis I’ve never played this before. So there are a few songs I’ve not heard. Not sure how I would have reacted back then. Heavier and janglier than I expected.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Portishead Ok. This was interesting and deserves some more plays. Still not my thing but it got my attention

Mark @monkeystrawhat.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Agreed. I’m less inclined to let music depress me these days.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Weezer Another band I know lots of the songs. Easily recognizable sound. Prob not something I’d play a lot.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Alanis Morissette Never played this but all the tracks are familiar. Won’t be in my 5.

FBI want more beastiality, necromancy and flagellation. Are they flogging a dead horse ?

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Tricky Fell asleep while listening to this. But it had some listenable tunes. Prob won’t revisit.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal DJ Shadow. Not for me. Alright as background music.

020

Mark @monkeystrawhat.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I was not paying attention to music for a lot of these years. But not a lot of it registers with me. Could be cause I’m old though.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Air Most of this isn’t for me. I like New Star in the Sky. Sounded like something Acker Bilk might do if you took away his clarinet and gave him a synth.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Boards of Canada Might make it onto my music to read to rotation. Warm electronic sounds.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Badly Drawn Boy First ever play. A pleasant laid back set of songs. Will revisit

Mark @monkeystrawhat.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

One of my favourite live bands early 70s. Still think Dave “Clem” Clemson was great guitarist. Think Litherland was on this one though.

I was randomly thinking yesterday how much I loved Fairport as Sir Patrick Spens played in my head.

I ate some elderberries. Asked my mum if I was going to die. She said probably.

#5DebutAlbumsFinal Doves Another one to come back to. First ever listen and I like the feel. The opening was very atmospheric.

So lucky to see them play this live 1970.
