#ArtistFaveLP Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear 1 Reptiles and Samurai The punishing beat, frantic keys and wailing guitars make an incredible bed for wonderfully nonsensical lyrics; my favorite Boingo song and one of my most beloved overall. youtu.be/SutYY8PVMwc

#ArtistFaveLP Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear 2 Insects The sound of a mental break: the frantic percussion and cutting guitars of the verses give way to the ecstasy of breaking free of restraint and letting it all out in the chorus. Insects make me make me want to dance! youtu.be/cTzItOizzlE

#ArtistFaveLP Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear 3 Wild Sex (In The Working Class) Danny Elfman uncharacteristically horny on main, and it’s fucking fantastic. I work so hard thinking of you… youtu.be/ysa7myYXm8k

They came from Planet Claire to take my top vote for #5DebutAlbumsSF2 … and if they make it through, my choice for the whole shebang.

#ArtistFaveLP Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear 4 Nothing To Fear (But Fear Itself) Lyrically incredibly dark & sadly still very relevant today. Hey little girl, won’t you come this way? Won’t you let me buy you candy or perhaps a chocolate shake or perhaps some nice cocaine… youtu.be/5PMjsY1MACU

#NowListening #MusicSky fat dog - Cancel Me (I’m Tired) New fat dog single is about as 2026 as you can get with an absolutely MASSIVE key change at the end. Title track to LP2 out in October, they seem to have embraced the dance side of their sound more this time out. youtu.be/JZFBMdQLPyM

#ArtistFaveLP Oingo Boingo - Nothing To Fear 5 Whole Day Off A wonderful slice of surreal pop; points the way to the type of film work Danny would end up doing. Maybe it’s just a bad dream and I’ll wake up soon but I don’t think I’ll be so lucky… youtu.be/hSgt9F37T5k

#NowListening #MusicSky #5DebutAlbumsSF2 Kim Deal - Nobody Loves You More In 30-40 years this will be held in the same high regard as the behemoths it’s up against in this challenge (some of us do already)…get on board now and save trouble later.

I’ve been listening to this a lot over the past couple of days based on the Norman Stamp of Approval and it is absolutely wonderful; copy pre-ordered.

PREORDER: 'Lines In Opposition!' by Lines of Silence Eight nu-krautrock belters from the Todmorden group inspired by vintage kosmische, Warp and Rephlex electronica, rave and acid house sets, and mid period Kraftwerk. www.normanrecords.com/records/2168...

#MusicSky #NowListening #BestSongHeardToday The Wolfgang Press - Speakers Don’t Speak Very very good new single, the revival of The Wolfgang Press has been one of my favorite of recent years. New album ‘Asylum Variations’ out in September. youtu.be/_rXO2Hu8aj4

#MusicSky Live! Tonight! Sold out! (I think?) My first Breeders show since 2017 and twelfth overall…how have I let the time equivalent of the gap between ‘Last Splash’ and ‘Title TK’ pass?

#NowListening #MusicSky feeble little horse - Bitknot The physical copy of my favorite album of 2026 so far has arrived and it’s a lovely package.

One of my all time favorites; I’m so glad time has been kind and public opinion has turned in its favor. 💙💙

#5DebutAlbumsSF1 Björk - Debut I couldn’t find room for it in its qualifying round but I can fix that here; an endlessly adventurous journey through the early 90’s dance scene where the remixes on the singles are as important to the story as the album itself.

The ‘Debut’ era from Björk on CD on display.
