It's a label which exists to give albums the release they deserve. Some classic, some brand new. It's also an occasional podcast about great records.

This had arrived whilst I was away on mog-sitting duties, so that's the rest of the day sorted. Well played, @petepaphides.bsky.social and the @needlemythology.bsky.social bredren.

Loving #sensitive from @needlemythology.bsky.social and @petepaphides.bsky.social A glorious return to my teenage years….

Fantastic new compilation from @needlemythology.bsky.social If anyone had the Rough Trade Indie Pop compilation from a few years back this is right up your street. Twee (and that’s a good thing) @petepaphides.bsky.social #music

After an unforgettable night at the launch party, seeing things I never thought I'd see again, very much looking forward to listening to this @needlemythology.bsky.social

Wow. What a blissful @needlemythology.bsky.social compilation of 1980s indie music. Some you’ve got, some you know, and some you love but have never heard before. Perfect!

My copy of #Sensitive has arrived! 🤩 If I still had a fringe (or any hair!) it would be shaken into oblivion this afternoon! Thank you, @needlemythology.bsky.social and @petepaphides.bsky.social

Still a bit stunned by last nights @needlemythology.bsky.social gig in London to launch the “Sensitive” compilation album. My vinyl copy arrived in the post just now and I will store the setlist I picked up in its sleeve!

Thank you so much to ALL who have bought Astronauts. We turned off Bandcamp notifications off as it was crashing our inbox! There are 10 mins left of Bandcamp Friday. The price stays the same but if you buy in the next 10 mins you will really help us. needlemythology.bandcamp.com

Happy Birthday to one of the greatest albums of all time. 33 years old today. I once told Martin it was their best album...his reply "I know, I played on it".

We are live for Bandcamp Friday. Buy it before midnight in Santa Cruz / 8 a.m. in Malvern / 7 p.m. in New Zealand. That way more money pours into the NM coffers for future releases. And also buy it because it is really good! Available here thelilactime1.bandcamp.com/album/astronau…
