To quote R.E.M.’s art director Chris Bilheimer who took this photo at the 40 Watt last night, “It’s always fun when you get together with your old coworkers.” INDEED!!

#Top15Best3AlbumRun #MusicChallenge 13. TV On The Radio. Return To Cookie Mountain Dear Science Nine Types Of Light Return… had a huge impact on me, and I fell in love with the band from there - Tunde and Kyp’s unique voices, together with Sitek’s amazing production. youtu.be/bb3XzHP9pAs?...

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 20. Grace, by Jeff Buckley. I had heard my brother’s copy of Live At Sin-é, and heard Jeff playing late night on Mark Radcliffe’s show - and this song in particular blew me away: youtu.be/HxfE6PJmGS8?...

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 19. Whip-smart, by Liz Phair. Although it couldn’t match the bona fide classic debut (Exile On Guyville), this follow-up was still brilliant. youtu.be/QkevTNJ5Mow?...

#np Great song from two of my favourite artists, and jeez… this bonkers (and sexy) video is nothing less than I’d expect from them coming together. Perfume Genius & Aldous Harding - No Front Teeth. youtu.be/U1sffNdzjPU?...

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 18. Teenager Of The Year, by Frank Black. Probably Charles’ best solo album - certainly his most consistent, and the quality dropped away after this. Lots of quirky indie pop, though I did miss the Black Francis scream… youtu.be/l_e_UKFGpUQ?...

#Top15Best3AlbumRun #MusicChallenge 11. Jessica Pratt. Jessica Pratt On Your Own Love Again Quiet Signs Probably my favourite artist of the last decade or so. These first two albums especially are incredible - just track after brilliant track. youtu.be/v7iRgnZGyVo?...

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 17. San Francisco, by American Music Club. After a perfect run of 5 (from Engine to Mercury), this felt like a last attempt at some crossover which was never going to happen, and AMC went on hiatus for a decade. Still great of course. youtu.be/BAbzYZiiC3s?...

A Featured Album of the Month: Jim Ghedi’s Wasteland, for all its anger and anguish, contains many moments of beauty. It is a timely reminder of the potency of art in a world that seems to be turning uglier by the day, and it might just be Ghedi’s masterpiece. klofmag.com/2025/02/jim-...

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 16. And She Closed Her Eyes, by Stina Nordenstam. This was my starting point with Stina’s albums - after hearing Little Star on the radio. I love her voice, and that there’s quite a darkness beneath her beautiful songs. youtu.be/K9ZsoGJu9U4?...

Scottish place names are full of ghosts. They describe fields that are no longer there, forests long felled. Gaelic carries the memory of people, land, and place. I wrote about it here: kristie-de-garis.ghost.io/scottish-gae... #Scotland #Gaelic #Writing #Gàidhlig #Place #Language

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 15. Yank Crime, by Drive Like Jehu. John Reis & Rick Froberg had such a great partnership here (and later in Hot Snakes). From the pummelling intro of Here Come The Rome Plows to the Slint-like centre piece of Luau. “Suit up!” youtu.be/FyFOIEut-rA?...

#1994AlbumsTop20 #MusicChallenge 14. Bakesale, by Sebadoh. I’d heard Rebound and Skull on the radio (Radcliffe’s show I’m sure), and started to get into Sebadoh more. As well as these 2 Lou classics I love Jason’s Careful, Got It and my fave Sebadoh song Not Too Amused. youtu.be/OG_YsBHWVag?...
