Gobsmacked & delighted by this lovely review from @popintherealworld.bsky.social! Thanks so much Chris! “So rich in its surroundings and memories that you half expect Proust to turn up with a box of madeleines”.

And it’s only one Canadian dollar! An essential buy if you like Nap Eyes as much as I do.

Not sure I remember this lot, but The Charms have reissued their jangly, poppy 1990 debut, Happen, which sounds a bit like everything did in 1990 - James, The Charlatans, REM etc. Great stuff!

"So pure an approach to songwriting that it's quite different from anything else around at the moment" Really v happy to have got such a nice review for my Lost Guests side-project from the ace @popintherealworld.bsky.social - a gloriously well written & passionate music-blog (thank god it exists).

Three absolutely lovely songs from Sister Bardot here, but I love 'Some Kind of Blue' most; a kind of hymn to discovery & musical immersion that glides between earthly & celestial planes. The escalating riff and collapse after “the woman who fell to earth” is a delight! Cor!

Picked this up on a whim today & have really enjoyed it; Peter Schrank is a Swiss political cartoonist and a songwriter. And this is a delicate, beautifully warm folk-pop LP which across it's 6 tracks reminds me of Nick Lowe, late Bob, Kevin Ayers. It even goes a bit bossa-nova AOR in the middle.

Anyone else unable to ignore the similarity between 'Falling Through My Hands' on that ropey new Beck LP and Dinosaur's Jr's 'Get Me'? My wife keeps playing the former and I keep running through thinking she's playing the latter!

Another bucolic folk Bandcamp find; I love this, by Ady Johnson - Under Gainsborough Skies is a gorgeous sounding, faintly groovy 70s folk concoction with a ton of absolutely lovely melodies. For fans of John Martyn, Nick Drake and at times, the Canterbury crowd. Delightful stuff.

New songs from me (Jonathan) and Alistair James coming tomorrow! Ten songs, eight of them by us with a pair of lovely covers. For fans of The Wave Pictures, Sufjan Stevens, Jonathan Richman, Fairport Convention, Belle & Sebastian etc. We're The Lost Guests.

Nothing new here, really, but this band is the best band we’ve ever had, and so delightful as always to see them written about. McLennan/Forster/Morrison still my dream pop groop trio.

The Go-Betweens inspired the Smiths, REM and Nick Cave. Why did they fall apart? As their golden-period albums from the late 1980s are reissued, the former bandmates talk about what happened www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/cdd8275...

“I dream of drifting far away A tourist trap attainable by boat Parasols all ambling by Guides and signs so easily followed I couldn’t run. I don’t want to be gone I only long to know once in my life The way it feels to feel weightless To do something so uncomplicatedly right”
