The always wonderful Kristin Hersh in Cambridge last night. Her new album Sugar On Blackstone is a beauty and those songs sounded great live. #kristinhersh #musicsky

Delighted with these two record fair purchases this morning. Station to Station is a reissue but been on my list for a while. Hips and Makers is an orginal which I really wasn’t expecting. Going to see the lady herself on Wed, can’t wait 🩶

A 3 week international break, joy! We’ve won nothing for 60 years… despite all the hype, money, the best league in the world, big name managers, golden generations etc. same old same old, just rinse and repeat. Still, enjoy the Nations League everyone 😂⚽️

A new #KristinHersh album is always something to cherish. After 40 years of amazing music there’s no sign of slowing up or diminishing quality. This is as darkly beautiful and emotionally powerful as ever…love her music dearly 🩶🩵 Album: Sugar on Blackstone #musicsky youtu.be/7ja2DyZjkdc?...

#5debutalbumsFinal #NowPlaying 1990 Ride emerged with three stellar eps and this beauty of a debut album. No doubt there are more groundbreaking and/or influential albums on this list but Nowhere has been a part of my life for 35 years so it’ll be in my 5 🩵

What the fuck is going on when RNLI vounteers are abused and advised not to wear their uniforms in public. These people put themselves in danger to help others but now they’re copping abuse from braindead scumbags pretending to be ‘patriots’. The RNLI deserve a hell of a lot better 😡

Such a tough choice with so many great albums, my #5DebutAlbumsFinal will likely have to be those that had a seismic impact at the time, hold the most memories and have stayed with me ever since. This is one…

The best debut album I’ve heard this year 🎶🔥 Saw this band a couple of years ago, they were young, loud, chaotic (six people on a very small stage) and fun but I didn’t really appreciate how strong their songs were…this is excellent. Cannonball Man/Woman/Chainsaw youtube.com/playlist?lis...

#5DebutAlbumsSF4 ‘Are you ready to testify??’ Raw, live energy fuelled by political anger, an early blueprint for punk? Love this album, it’s in or around my five. Kick Out The Jams MC5 1969
