Oliver. @northernpundit.bsky.social · 23/08/2026After last night's BBC2 Marvin special, it's a good time to go back to this classic. 8mins of an absolutely epic Grapevine remix.

Oliver. @northernpundit.bsky.social · 22/08/2026This fella doing Sexual Healing on the BBC Proms Marvin Gaye special is ridiculous. Always find it crazy how some people are riddled with talent yet never make it massive. 020
Reposted by Oliver.Strategic Tape Reserve @strategictaper.bsky.social · 19/08/2026A lot of the record labels now put microchips in the LPs. That’s why they need 180 grams. Some of those grams are the microchip. They use it to collect data about if people call the LPs “vinyls”, and when they do, the label tells the artist and the artist gets sad. That’s how they make dreampop. 16917

Oliver. @northernpundit.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Gabriels - Love and Hate in a Different Time (2020) This EP is like nothing else, so unique and haunting. The pop/soul/gospel stuff they went on to do never really tickled my fancy but this is still one of my favourite records. #nowplaying 041

Oliver. @northernpundit.bsky.social · 07/08/2026A good day for #BandcampFriday! Picked up a couple more Leaf Library releases, the great new EP from Attic Ocean and really looking forward to discovering new shoegaze artists in the charity comp for Mind. Bought 2 Jim Ghedi CDs earlier in the week before I realised it was Bandcamp Friday too 🤦♂️ 451

New-to-me though: Thee Marloes very silky soul Stars of the Lid, classic album from a band I've never heard of. Enjoying the Peter Gabriel-sounding indie folk from irish due Basciville.
