Something soothing for Sunday morning before heading out into Brighton ☀️ Soft Power by Ezra Feinberg #musicsky

Now listening: Norken - Soul Static Bureau. A great album of minimal techno infused with deep house with shades of Detroit, from late 1999.

Sunday morning easy listening: Chet Baker Sings #jazzsky

... Spend some time in nature and talk to real people too. Great for the soul... Oh and listen to @skylabradio.com this Bank Holiday Weekend. Fab soundtrack to a lie-in this morning. 🎧🧡

Now watching: A Real Pain

It’s new vinyl Saturday: Lael Neale - Altogether Stranger. I have a feeling this record will be part of my soundtrack to summer 2025✨✨ @laelneale.bsky.social #AltogetherStranger @subpop.bsky.social

Last one for this evening: Slowdive - Pygmalion. A sublime album and this ‘Vinyl Me, Please’ half-speed remaster doing the music justice ✨👌 #slowdive @slowdiveofficial.bsky.social

Late Sunday night listening: Kraftwerk - The Man Machine. Great £1.99 charity shop find 👌 #musicsky

Now listening: Alvo Noto - HYbr:ID II. Sounding phenomenal this evening. #musicsky

Ex-Easter Island Head were excellent last night ✨👌 Will certainly be checking out their back catalogue @eeih.bsky.social

One of the finest compilations: Late Night Tales: Air

In homage to @mixmastermorris.bsky.social aka The Irresistible Force, who is recovering from surgery. Listening to this classic ambient album from ‘94. This was a golden era of ambient, and Morris was, and still is, a leading and influential figure of the genre, not just in the UK but globally ⚛️

The lads from Hull smashing it out of the park for the third time running 🙌 Microtonic by bdrmm @smellybdrmm.bsky.social #musicsky

Classic Sunday listening: Rumours by Fleetwoodmac. Some albums just never grow old. #musicsky

Kickstarting my Sunday with the glory that is Doolittle by Pixies

Saturday morning listening: Primal Srream - Screamadelica ☀️ A great way to begin the weekend #musicsky

Rewatching Blondie in concert from 1979 and hearing bangers such as Dreaming, Atomic, Picture This, The Hardest Part, and Heart of Glass takes me back to my childhood and, thanks to my parents, discovering the joy of music. #blondie #musicsky @blondieband.bsky.social

Something pointy

Finishing my weekend with this absolute classic: Solid Air by John Martyn #musicsky

Sunday morning listening. I seem to be getting into a pattern. Ahmad Jamal followed by the masterpiece that is Empyrean Isles from Herbie Hancock. #jazzsky

I was taken by surprise at how much I enjoyed this film; it was captivating from beginning to end with a stellar performance from Saoirse Ronan.

Now watching: The Outrun

Sunday morning listening; eased in with Ahmad Jamal and then something a bit more lively from Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers #JazzSky

Settling into my Sunday evening with Source by Nubya Garcia. This is a real gem of a jazz album

My go-to ‘spring has arrived’ album is Fox Base Alpha by Saint Etienne. Always takes me back to the spring of ‘92 when I bought it on CD for the first time 🌼 This 30th anniversary reissue sounds perfect👌

The International Woman’s Day celebration on @6music.bsky.social is the best radio I’ve heard in a long time 💃✨ Loving the Sade special mix👌
