Moon on my neck, I feel it come. I’m standing here, like a burning house.

To my UK followers and R.E.M. fans: thanks to the kindness of a good friend in London, I have 5 copies of my biography of R.E.M., Maps and Legends, to offer for £30 shipped inside of the UK, or roughly £15 to £20 less than it costs to have the book shipped across the Atlantic.

#sotw Apparently this artist has changed style a bit. Could be a bit of a find? Beggar’s Nation, by Jens Kuross. youtu.be/JmgncZUUMSo?...

#sotw Few week’s old but oh well: Love that shredding guitar sound. commie bf, by Forty Winks youtu.be/kMOeuFgyySQ?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge 20. Vivid, by Living Colour. Cult Of Personality Which Way To America? Still is a total classic album. Vernon Reid is so underrated - I love his chaotic playing. youtu.be/7xxgRUyzgs0?... youtu.be/5bflbbOk-FI?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 20. Greenlander, by Pavement. youtu.be/BpzCy7jDg-w?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge 19. Ones & Sixes, by Low. Gentle DJ A few Low records were possible choices, but these 2 are strong contenders. They practically have the same beat, and have a great feel. youtu.be/_Bt-vZ7OO3w?... youtu.be/iZ8wZaIW2Tw?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 19. The Grey Ship, by EMA youtu.be/u_9yCsl0d-I?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge 18. Spiderland, by Slint. Breadcrumb Trail Good Morning, Captain Both eerie-sounding tracks of storytelling. …Captain is extraordinary. youtu.be/gBfoQjJ7guk?... youtu.be/CuqEpjcBfaU?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 18. Into The White, by Pixies. youtu.be/1PgTIEShXo4?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge 17. Macalla, by Clannad. Caislean Oir Northern Skyline A foundational album for me. These two stunning tracks are the choice songs: an atmospheric intro & a yearning, poignant end. Brilliant. youtu.be/FI7D8YFxgAc?... youtu.be/kv8yFvQHO0M?...

I was last here around 20 years ago. Trefignath on Ynys Gybi - midday today. #TombTuesday @stoneclub.bsky.social @megalithic.bsky.social

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 17. Pink Turns To Blue, by Hüsker Dü youtu.be/JW2yZamiBlg?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge 16. World Of Work, by Clarissa Connelly. Into This, Called Loneliness S.O.S Song Of The Sword Incredible stuff, from the best album of 2024. youtu.be/ZaRGdsrw_U8?... youtu.be/dmCyxWKZQu4?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 16. Brown Eyes, by Red House Painters. youtu.be/u-NeULwe08A?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge Day 15. Ink & Oil, by Storefront Church. The High Room Tapping On The Glass This album was a highlight of 2024. These two epics are typical examples of its brilliance. Seriously, it’s all this good. youtu.be/pVrJ1mqgqQA?... youtu.be/pzT510gDSnk?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 15. Holdin’ On To Black Metal, by My Morning Jacket. youtu.be/pVrJ1mqgqQA?...

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Aldous Harding. 15. Treasure. Finally, one of her most seemingly straightforward and pretty sounding songs. youtu.be/sf61wncorxw?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge Day 14. Raintown, by Deacon Blue. Born In A Storm Town To Be Blamed An atmospheric (pun probably intended) opening, and a hugely dramatic closing track - my favourite of theirs. youtu.be/GlJ4XYVvqPQ?... youtu.be/KQctwZ0yFfI?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 14. The Orange Grove, by Storefront Church. youtu.be/AK9-PZqqMwQ?...

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Aldous Harding. 14. The Barrel. Fantastic sound on this one. Excellent production from John Parish. Aldous equally magnetic and weird in the video. I love her freaky little dance. As she says; “Show the ferret to the egg”. Indeed. youtu.be/QyZeJr5ppm8?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge Day 13. Together Alone, by Crowded House. Such a great album, and these two are crucial in understanding what this record’s all about. youtu.be/44chfOSuRNk?... youtu.be/0ESoGnWk830?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 13. Honey White, by Morphine. youtu.be/IZ1T3x2fEiU?...

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Aldous Harding. 13. Pilot. Closer from Designer. Stark piano and voice (low and clear enunciation this time) with some interesting lines - “I get so anxious I need a tattoo” & “it opens up like height under a pilot”. Slow-burner. youtu.be/Ow1xq9EQQiY?...

#np Now ordered ✅ aprilmagazine.bandcamp.com/album/sunday...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge Day 12. Rattlesnakes, by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions. Perfect Skin Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken? One of the greats. Absolute classic. youtu.be/DDoJQH8Pz8s?... youtu.be/Xa2cQ46vAnA?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 12. Low Red Moon, by Belly. youtu.be/XqiSeeLwJ7Q?...

#ArtistFave15 #MusicChallenge Aldous Harding. 12. Revival. This Deerhunter cover for a great 4AD comp fits Aldous’ style perfectly. youtu.be/wblfvQJoz88?...

#Top20BookendAlbums #MusicChallenge Day 11. And She Closed Her Eyes, by Stina Nordenstam. When Debbie’s Back From Texas And She Closed Her Eyes Dark and brooding intro, and a weary, resigned sounding end to a brilliant album. youtu.be/K9ZsoGJu9U4?... youtu.be/RJacS8Ured4?...

#ColorTheMusic #MusicChallenge Day 11. Blueprint, by Fugazi youtu.be/Be1Q1XJS1HI?...
