Loving Black Thoughts verse  

Is there a song he’s featured on that he hasn’t measurably improved? Thought is just brilliant.

I've never really listened to Algiers properly, but I've just bought a ticket to see them before I got to the end of my first listen of There Is No Year. It's goooooood.

It's ace isn't it? And I'd say they're even better live! I have a spare ticket but my Glasgow gig buddies all hate them for some reason and won't come 😞

Their loss, frankly.

The real winner today is Halsey.

I'm just realising how true that is, listening to Manic. She's great, isn't she? The music lover's Dua Lipa.

She certainly is. The album is an absolute sucker punch. Definitely her best yet... 929 at the end 🥺 I've got tickets for Manchester in March. Cannot wait!

Lucky you! No Australian dates so far, unfortunately. Also no Glasto-shaped gap.

New Alexisonfire is basically a BeeGees song. Well not really, but it is great.

Was just wondering over the weekend whether they were gonna release any more new material after those couple of songs last year. Pretty different vibe than we're used to from them but this is great.

Its been a bit of an odd reunion, just releasing the odd song and doing the odd show here and there, I'm not complaining though, happy to have them back. Watching the House Of Strombo show on YouTube has made me really want to see them again so I'm hoping they keep at it and eventually do a UK tour, I miss em. Still got the cig packet that Dallas Green refused to sign knocking round parents house somewhere.

Catching up on my Spotify Release Radar.

I like the New Moby track; to me it sounds like the best song on a Tekken soundtrack and I don't mean that as an insult.

The new Greenday song though... I'm a bit disappointed at myself for being disappointed.

Not heard this new one, but I keep seeing rumours that this new album of theirs is being released to end their current label contract and a bit of a knowing self sabotage, with another 'proper' album due imminently. The songs and general theme around the album kind of lend themselves to this theory (songs are all weird, 2 minutes long and album is only 25 minutes etc)... but seems like an odd thing to do regardless, and is maybe just baseless hope from their fanbase.

It took me ages to place why that new Green Day song grates on me quite so much as it does. And it does. It also annoys me that I had to check this out as it's soiled my listening history and has probably put me on some kind of watch list.

The "Oh Yeah" chorus is straight from Gary fucking Glitter "Do You Want To Touch Me". Chords are bang on. It's been bugging me since it was released.

And amazingly, the twat still has 5,500 fans on Deezer. FFS.

In other news, I like the Courteeners album.

I'd really like to believe that

Not going to give Glitter the airtime but I'll take your word for it.

Courteeners might be my favourite thing out last week but it gets very Kaiser Chiefs at times which really distracts me (Heavy Jacket in particular).

I've put this weeks BBC 6 Music playlist together in Spotify and plan to keep it updated weekly if anyone is interested:

I'm not too keen on the direction Suede's music is going in with this, but at least they're stepping out of their comfort zone

Had him on all day after hearing he'd finished up his new album. Wasn't expecting a proper announcement/release date so soon. Stoked.

[Quark]

New Slow Readers Club tune incoming. Playing on Chris Hawkins' show tomorrow morning

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Seems to be a leak of the new Lady Gaga single Stupid Love doing the rounds.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And it's a bit of a bop

Got a flight and long coach journey later and looking for some albums to download for it. Had a speed through this thread but can't see anything that stands out. Does anyone have any recommendations from the last two months or so? Please no BBC or folk. Ideally toward the rockier end. 

[FloorFiller]

Can’t say I’ve taken notice of anything Pearl Jam have released since... Vs., probably, but checked out their new song and was pleasantly surprised. Got a bit of a Talking Heads vibe about it, and not just straight up dad rock.

Tail end of last year, Blaenavon, Michael Kiwanuka and Have A Nice Life all pretty good.

Big fan of the Blaenavon and Kiranuka records, so will check out HANL too, thanks.
