Been listening to a lot of Gabba recently. Gabba and Genesis... no idea why.
Watched jules Holland on breakfast TV this morning and instantly went to his new album Pianola it was excellent, well worth a listen.
Lots of 80's electronica and also buying a fair bit of Plump DJ's on vinyl. Supposed to be djing a new years eve house party but looking increasingly unlikely 😷
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine....
That and 4 organs... 🤷🏼♀️
Having a bit of a flashback and listening to a lot of Placebo ATM. Not entirely of their time and properly underrated I think (especially in terms of lyrical concerns).
HUGE earworm with this right now.
I'm enjoying the free Lucky Me tracks this year. Especially the Hira and Jacques Greene ones.

more to come, if you like wonky electronicky housey nonsense(y) 🙂
Most of my quality listening time these days is on the turbo trainer, so my tastes are adjusting accordingly, really enjoying Takkyu ishino's mixes on YouTube.
Am looking forward to giving this one a run out soon, suspect I'll be getting carried away and falling off rollers at approx 44 minutes in.
Dave Grohl put out a playlist for some reason. Listening to that, good mix of stuff.
Other than the random tracks I had playing earlier today, I’ve been listening to mostly Cara Dillon, having seen her play very recently. Not sure at the moment what I might listen to in a bit after I finish watching QI.
Panic listening to Coldplay for the next 3 years.
Dave Grohl put out a playlist
Is there anything he can't do?
np: Killing Joke - 2003.
Spotify threw this out this morning. Some old school jungle vibes which makes me wish I was 20 years younger and clubs were still cool.
Panic listening to Coldplay for the next 3 years.
🤣👏🏻
I suspect I'm late to the game here but I've just discovered Sam Fender. He really is fantastic, assuming you like Springsteen, Arcade Fire, The War on Drugs etc. Can actually perform live too and his band are superb.
Not really one for youthful music ... but definitely loving Amyl and the Sniffers.
Comfort To Me is an absolute monster from start to finish. I heard Hertz and then got stuck in.
but definitely loving Amyl and the Sniffers
Absolutely! One to look out for live, I think.
This has been on heavy repeat over Christmas
Larkin Poe , especially their acoustic stuff
Linda Perry / 4 Non Blondes
I’ve gone from Liars ‘The Apple Drop’ to…… Theatre of Hate ‘Westworld’. Giving the turntable a bit of a run.
Still enjoying Larkin Poe - especially some of their acoustic covers .
Had a Scorpions revisit today, listened to some of their stuff from 40 years ago 🤘
Discovered a whole load of random 80s rock bands I missed out on first time round...

i'm a rock/metal fan and discovered these guys last week. Their album 'Aftermath' is absolutely splendid!
Kaleo
Khruangbin. The answer is Khruangbin
Pour a cold one, wait for the sun to set a bit more and just bliss out.
and one of them live, although sound quality isn't as good they just ooze funk. Rumour has it that Donald the drummer was marooned on a desert island for 3 years, and when he was rescued he still knew the time to the exact second.
As I went to see Arab Strap last night and they were immense , It's old Arab Strap. Falkirks finest.
Tool.

Whatever is on Planet Rock + The Reytons, and the usual Frank Turner stuff
I was nodding off this year watching Glastonbury and then someone named Róisín Murphy busked onto the stage with a quartet of talented troubadours and proceeded to blow my mind with disturbing ease. I’d only ever heard a couple of songs by her along the way so was entirely unprepared. (SUPERLATIVE CURSING) what a beautifully bonkers, energising, commanding, warm and fun/ny performance! Reminded me of a wide range of artists from David Byrne to David Bowie from Grace Jones to Grace Slick, from Kate Bush to Eartha Kitt, from Devo to Diana Ross. Hard to believe I bypassed Moloko and Murphy the first time round, yet now eagerly mining the back-catalogue.
@p7eaven: her guesting on HBMS The Truth has been a long time favourite of mine…
@metalheart nice - thnks. That voice 🫠. Now off down another tune-tunnel! I learned that Eddie Stevens (electronic musician/collaborator with Róisín Murphy) was also in Freak Power
‘Tune in Turn On, Cop Out‘ was a riding playlist highlight back in the day, along my long way round to now 📼💿👴🏻)
Agree Roisin Murphy was a stand out performance from this years Glastonbury. Always liked some Moloko stuff
This came up in my suggestions today

I blimmin love a bit of Shazam to follow up on music from films and TV that I'd otherwise never hear in full. From the Robert Downey Jr Netflix documentary (Sn.):
Always good when YouTube turns up old favorites.
Don't get it
Loads of minimal bass stuff like ...
Space 92 - Phobos is good.
Joyhouser
Alex Stein
Reiner Zonneveld - Black Sun is good.
Hell Driver
Adorius FR
Amelie Lens
Deniz Bul
Javiis
Konfusia
Charlotte de Witte
Tim Taste
etc
I now have 4 sets of ear buds ... LOL! Latest acquisition is JLAB Go Air (£19 down from £29) which is surprisingly good.
From the Basement sessions on YouTube. Here for example is Sonic Youth
I saw a new band showcase last night, I only saw three bands (Ajimal, Dog Unit) both good in their own way, and then this lot Scrounge.
Can't find much on video to link, apart from this which isn't lyrically the most complex work, but for two people and one voice they made a terrific noise
and this
@eddiebaby that takes me back, saw SY 3-5 times around/on the Daydream tour(s) The Sprawl definitely one my favourite tracks of that era (I was heavily in to the Whitey Album too).
You should check out the Horsegirl video I linked, they state that EVOL is probably the most important album for them as a band…
She makes war and her new persona, penfriend back catalogue

really enjoying listening to Exhale, cheers!
Go Romy!

Hybrid ‘Disappear Here’ is my favourite album of all time. Definitely worth a listen if anyone hasn’t heard it.
Both Hybrid and Distinctive Records have pedigree. There was loads of ahead of it's time stuff!
Wide Angle is a great album, Dreaming Your Dreams my favourite track.
Last year the two YouTube clips I watched most was Olivia Rodrigo’s cover of Taylor Swift’s Cruel Summer (as I loved the stripped down simplicity of delivery; her at her keyboard in her living room) and Moraíto Chico doing a live Bulerías at some 80’s flamenco festival (amazing the power of one guitar and palmas).
This year the clip that has moved me in a similar way is from the Japanese movie Linda Linda Linda featuring Bae Doona (just finished watching Stranger season 1) so here is ‘Paranmaum’ doing their cover of the Bluehearts Linda Linda:
Also: retrying give the 5 (five) Sault albums that dropped recently a decent listen (but you know there’s five of them 🤪)
Yes enjoy a bit of Sault in my life especially Angel
Featuring a young paid by the hour session singer
Thanks Cheesy, forgotten how good that was. He did some great stuff early on. Always difficult to divorce from his later stuff and his personality.
Spotify delivered some Joan Armatrading including Down to Zero, as part of an algorithm starting with early Tom Waits. Not forgotten, but certainly under appreciated .
I'm a big fan of The Black Crowes and I reckon they would've done a fantastic job of covering that in their peak.
Currently listening to,
Jinjer
Whiskey myers
Queen kona
Larkin poe
Electric callboy
Tech n9ne
Jinjer are first on the list for a very good reason. For those that have never heard of them give Pisces a listen.

Don't know anything aabout the guy [url= https://www.apashemusic.com/ ]Apashe[/url] and must admit it was the artwork that made me listen to the album "Antagonist", but love the orchestral production on it.

Seemed to have drifted back to this years "holiday" road trip soundtrack - Charlie Crocket, Colter Wall, Sierra Ferrell, Kassi Valazza
