Kind of skimmed past this a bit but since buying tickets to see English Teacher in March I’ve had it on repeat. It’s a thing of rare genius and I’m super excited to see them live…

#ALLALBUMS Day 1️⃣9️⃣ an album you hate by an artist you love Labour of Love - UB40 I’m not saying I love UB40, but I did love their first 2 studio albums; their dub album and live album before this came along and they decided karaoke classics was the way to go. Shame.

#ALLALBUMS Day 1️⃣2️⃣ a particularly meaningful album Script of the Bridge - The Chameleons For many many reasons, particularly lyrics recited at my brother’s funeral. ‘When something slips through your fingers you know how precious it is’ 🙏

#ALLALBUMS Day 1️⃣1️⃣ a break up album Strange Times - The Chameleons The last album The Chameleons would record for a very long time. A masterpiece in every way.

#ALLALBUMS Day 🔟 an amorous album So Tough - Saint Etienne Second feature for these guys. Hobart Paving is just beautiful, but the whole album was a soundtrack to a summer of love.

#ALLALBUMS Day 9️⃣ an album with good memories Seven - James A summer taking kids canoeing on the Delaware River. The prime job was dropping them off then driving the trailer downstream to pick them up at the end of the day, with this blaring out in the sunshine 😎

#ALLALBUMS Day 6️⃣ an album that changed the way you thought about music. The Smiths - The Smiths After 2 Tone I was musically homeless for about 2 years until I heard The Smiths… my gateway to Peel, independent labels and basically everything.

#ALLALBUMS 5️⃣ an album you love the cover of This Nation’s Saving Grace - The Fall Really hard to pick just one in these categories, but this gatefold with artwork by Claus Castenskiold and Michael Pollard suits the music perfectly.

#ALLALBUMS 4️⃣ an album you played to death Setting Sons - The Jam Quite a few contenders here but went for this. Having an older sister with a slightly older boyfriend meant I got into some great stuff aged 11. This was a big one.

#ALLALBUMS Day 3️⃣ last album listened to (or in this case currently listening to) Reunion Wilderness - The Railway Children Picked a pre-loved copy of this up for £8 yesterday, only knowing a couple of tracks including the lovely Brighter. It’s a fabulous album.
