#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 274/365 🗣️ Tom Waits 💿 Closing Time Yes I've gone right back to the very start. I'm thinking that might be the best decision I've made in a long time. It's a fair distance away from Rain Dogs, but blow me down if this isn't exactly my thing.

#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 273/365 🗣️ Cocteau Twins 💿 Treasure If Garlands was good, and Head Over Heels made me, well, just that, then I don't think even such a mystical and prized title can summise my joy at this record. It might just be my favourite discovery of 2025.

Happy 35th birthday to Sonic Youth's 'Goo', released #OnThisDay in 1990. The follow up to the seminal 'Daydream Nation', Sonic Youth somehow managed to get even better while never threatening to alienate their core audience. 🧵 #MusicThread #MusicSky #SonicYouth #OTD

#ArtistFave90s Suede 4 💿 Dog Man Star 🎶 The Wild Ones An obvious choice, and with good reason. One of Suede's finest singles, and the entire band operating at another level here. Never fails to stir up emotions when I listen to it, which is a lot!

#Top20RoxyMusic 5 💿 Avalon 🎶 Take A Chance With Me I absolutely love Roxy Music's final album, so only having two choices from it in my list seems ridiculous. But they are both in the top 5, and Take A Chance With Me is just peak Roxy MK2. Sophisticated and gorgeous.

Being influenced by, amongst others, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, is certainly not unique to Karl Wallinger. But on World Party's second album 'Goodbye Jumbo', Wallinger wears those influences on his sleeve, and then some. It never pales in comparison. 🧵 #MusicThread #MusicSky

#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 272/365 🗣️ Tom Waits 💿 Rain Dogs I listened to this masterpiece for the first time in late April. I didn't post about it because, well, what is there even to say? It's just amazing at what it is, and a tour de force in concept storytelling...

#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 271/365 🗣️ Cocteau Twins 💿 Head Over Heels Savour it. Savour it. Savour it. I've shown restraint recently by not listening to as much new-to-me music (almost two per day this year), but Cocteau Twins are making it much more difficult...

#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 270/365 🗣️ Porcupine Tree 💿 Closure/Continuation 13 years after their previous album, Porcupine Tree returned with a record that felt too much like more of the same. For a band who changed styles and output so often, it's anti-climactic...

#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 269/365 🗣️ Cocteau Twins 💿 Garlands I listened to this back in April and it did nothing for me. I held off posting until listening again, and last night was that time. And I don't know what I was hearing before because this is pretty immense...

#ArtistFave90s Suede 5 💿 Dog Man Star 🎶 The 2 Of Us For a band that's just released a single called 'Disintegrate', it's also the key word from over 30 years ago. Brett Anderson says the song is about the disintegration of his and Bernard Butler's relationship. A brilliantly emotional song.

#Top20RoxyMusic 6 💿 Flesh and Blood 🎶 Same Old Scene I'm not usually a big fan of singles from a band. Not compared to their album tracks at least. But Roxy Music sure knew how to make great singles, and this is another brilliant one from their later years.

#PostImperialImpressions Depeche Mode | Exciter | 2001 When Depeche Mode went zen, 'Exciter' proved to be one of the most ironic album titles in music history. Despite being little loved compared to what came before, there's so much to love. 🧵 #MusicThread #MusicSky #DepecheMode

#365NewToMeAlbums #NowPlaying 268/365 🗣️ Morphine 💿 Cure For Pain Having recently taken on the saxophone and enjoying the experience - the recommendation to listen to Morphine is a revelation. The first album felt really special, and this is on a similar level...
