I haven’t! Thanks for the recommend! What are your thoughts on it?

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Ha I’m mostly just joshing you lol I’m a Niners fan!

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

I thought you needed relevance and a chance of ever winning games for there to be narratives? 🤔

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Don’t think I’ve heard anyone really mention this new Myka 9 x Blu album yet but it is GREAT. One of the best surprises of the year imo. open.spotify.com/album/2LtAFM...

For those who partake, this is comfortably the worst FIFA game they’ve ever made btw. The worst ever meta, the most frustrating piece of shit I’ve ever experienced. Doesn’t just need a patch it needs burning at a demonic ceremonial gravesite.

MJ Why You Wanna Trip On Me is so mad because it’s SO vibey that he’ll be singing about poverty and I’m there making screw faces like I’m hearing the best Conway The Machine verse ever.

Currently got a sore throat and I’ve got one of those situations where like the where my throat and roof of my mouth are itchy, so I’m walking round the house making my noises like a vomiting cat to try and get rid of it

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

Insanely funny spitball of negativity here. Every single point could be flipped to a positive when taken from the mouth of a non-suicidal maniac

No need, Dan Burn should’ve been on there the past 3 years already, EA are behind the curve

Sure, we’re worse right now but…to pretend that would ever not be the case when you lose a player we all roundly agreed was world class is just naive. I think we improve as the season goes on…we just need to ensure we don’t fall behind too far to chase the top 5 (which at this rate…yikes)

100

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

We’re not really worse long term though, we’re just in the midst of a mix of the transitional (new players, replacing big old ones, tactical regain as a result), injuries (Wissa being the main one, we’ve literally not seen our strongest 11), suspensions (Gordon) and a fairly tough fixture run.

Very kind, I’d go so far as to say it’s absolute bollocks

Thou - Summit (2010) More and more Thou. Aren’t all of their album covers absolutely boss? thou.bandcamp.com/album/summit

000

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Thou - Peasant (2008) More Thou. thou.bandcamp.com/album/peasant

Thou - Tyrant (2007) Their debut. I bought a slew of their albums in one swoop and listened to them for weeks on end, not dipped in for years but they’re still great. One of the rare sort of doom-sludge metal bands I’ve found consistently engaging. thou.bandcamp.com/album/tyrant

141

Timecop1983 - Childhood Memories (2014) Not listened to this for a decade, it’s vibey as fuck and about as good as these synthwave 80s pastiches could ever get. Huge fan. It’s made me want to listen to everything he’s done since that I missed. playmaker.bandcamp.com/album/childh...

000

Gost - The Night Stalker EP (2013) More of the same re the other one from him, this one is definitely horror influenced and does its job nicely as a modern synthwave reimagining of 80s horror OSTs. gost1980s.bandcamp.com/album/the-ni...

000

AG Da Coroner - Crushed Grapes (2013) An obscenely New York album. Was from 2013 but it does feel late 90s in the delivery of the emcee and the beats. Enjoyed listening to it for first time probably in a decade. Silly cover. manbitesdogrecs.bandcamp.com/album/crushe...

000

Gost - Skull (2013) Daft Punk for aggressive goth metalheads who think they’re somehow above Daft Punk. They’re not. Daft Punk are great. Gost is good too. Dark synth wave shit. gost1980s.bandcamp.com/album/skull

Tbf thank you for engaging with my nonsense here sincerely and with respect. My comment was meant to be a joke and flippant, and obviously I’m being silly on purpose. You are absolutely right, libraries should be cherished for a myriad of reasons!

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

Unfortunately Libraries inherently have ties to terrible people because they’re usually funded primarily by local governments who feed into government as a whole, so we can’t have that either I’m afraid 🥺

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Hayze - The Smoking Section (2013) No prizes for what the subject matter is from that emcee name and album combination but it’s good! (Most weed rap is good tbf, incredibly high hit rate) Apathy features. A couple really nice songs on here. manbitesdogrecs.bandcamp.com/album/hayze-...

000

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Eddie B - Horsepower (2013) Eddie B sounding lovely over La musica de Harry Fraud. The beats almost by design take front & centre here but they’re well used, and there’s some nice features from Action Bronson, Apathy, Meyhem Lauren, Shabaam Sahdeeq etc. manbitesdogrecs.bandcamp.com/album/eddie-...

The north east makes up less than 7% of the population is that true??? That feels…not correct?

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Curly Castro - Fidel (2013) Long before the great success of ShrapKnel with PremRock, Curly Castro was already making really solid albums, including this one. manbitesdogrecs.bandcamp.com/album/curly-...

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Roc Marciano - The Pimpire Strikes Back (2013) It’s Roc Marciano. I don’t need to say anything here about why I bought it or what I think about it. manbitesdogrecs.bandcamp.com/album/the-pi...

Julia Donaldson is a pussy for not completing the Gruffalo trilogy. She had two classics back to back w Gruffalo and Gruffalo’s Child and like Dre w Detox just felt too scared to drop another in the set.

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

This actually works quite well as a time capsule for what lyrical underground rap sounded like at the time, and how it’s changed over the years. Some big names in that sphere here (Supastition, J-Live, Tonedeff, Cunninlynguists etc). Shame he stopped emceeing!

000

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

PackFM - Featured Material Vol. 4 (2012) To this day apparently the last project he released? PackFM was a great battle rapper and an emcee linked w Tonedeff & QN5 and this is a mish-mash of his work (features, songs etc) around the early 2010s. packfm.bandcamp.com/album/featur...

Co$$ (n/k/a Cashus King) - Greyer Skies (2013) Flabbergasted that this guy wasn’t big. This mixtape is so polished, well produced & so accomplished w the rhymes. It feels like a really good major label backed lyrical rap album, deserved so many plaudits. cashusking.bandcamp.com/album/grayer...

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Perturbator - Dangerous Days (2014) More synths. A policeman with a metallic cock and balls driving around a dangerous city at night playing this as chases dafties. The vocal tracks on this are superb and stand out. perturbator.bandcamp.com/album/danger...

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

DJ Harrison - 4.Dollah.Feel.Good (2014) A relatively early release from a musician who makes beats with the same organic authenticity & soul of a Karriem Riggins. Think this came out just before Stashboxxx made him more of a household name. Great vibes. djharrison.bandcamp.com/album/4-doll...

I don’t care what anyone says, he was stagnating in our club, he was behind at least 5 other midfielders and still would be a bench player at best today. I know we did it for PSR but that move was incredible for him and his career

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Went to #WWELeeds tonight and saw the Mexican Destroyer in person. Decent!

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

The new one he’s done with Endea Owens is genuinely gorgeous at times

COMFORTABLY the best cinema experience of the year so far

000

She had a crew called Space Age at this point: their production was superb and they all had talent, as seen throughout this album. But this also had credits from big-but-niche at the time producers like Sango, Jakwob, Da-P, Iman Omari etc. She already sounds like a star on here.

021

Little Simz - E.D.G.E. (2014) Not to be that annoying music guy but I was on the Little Simz wave even years before this one, and this one was years before she really broke out too. This is a mad early example of why she was always going to make it big. littlesimz.bandcamp.com/album/e-d-g-e

131

Savon - Always & Forever (2014) A great early album from another producer who has gone on to be bigger since with his work alongside Waldo but this album from a decade ago furrows that same ‘Soulection’ adjacent sound as Sango did. Strong re-spin value. agomusic.bandcamp.com/album/always...

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

THOU - Heathen (2013) Back on my Bandcamp BS. Thou are obviously far bigger now but when this first dropped it felt huge imo. This was the album I discovered them on, great doom metal, lyrically far more impressive than most in the genre. Big dog chugs. thou.bandcamp.com/album/heathen

Great film. There’s a spoiler alert I don’t want to really delve into here but I think they got the perfect balance with the reveal

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

Vanonderpump is my favourite song by Volume 10

Adam @smalltings.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

Really enjoying the new Tyler album in the sense of the vibe but like every single thing he’s ever done since like the debut mixtape there’s something about it that never clicks for me fully. Think I’m just slightly too old for his music or something lol I don’t know
