#NowPlaying #MusicSky She’s Green - Swallowtail / Chrysalis EPs Been on the TT all evening! Love this band. Up there with Ringo Deathstarr & Blankenberge as my favourite current shoegazers. Stunning iridescent wax. Photo doesn’t do it justice. Fingers crossed for an album next after 3 EP releases🙏🏼
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Smashing Pumpkins - Gish Likely to just miss out on my #5DebutAlbumsSF3, such is the fierce competition. Will always be in the shadows of Siamese Dream, for me, which is nothing short of a masterpiece, but the 3 opening tracks on here are as good as anything they’ve ever done
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Buffalo Springfield - S/T Very strong contender for my #5DebutAlbumsSF3. Stills is an absolute god & one of my musical heroes 🙌🏼 I have the mono version in this box set too, which I prefer the sound of, but the stereo track listing and order is what I’ve always known and loved
#NowPlaying #MusicSky The La’s - S/T I always do this album a major injustice in these polls, and it always seems to just miss out on my 5s. Without blinking, I’d happily declare it as one of my favourite ever albums and the nostalgia still hits hard today 🤤 Maybe it’s time with #5DebutAlbumsSF3
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - BRMC A no-brainer for my 2nd 🥈 place pick for #5DebutAlbumsSF3, and it’s only even my 3rd favourite BRMC album, behind Howl and Devil’s Tattoo! 🤯 Unreal band. So good 🙌🏼
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Ride - Nowhere 8 tracks or 11 tracks, I don’t care. Either way, it’s absolutely nailed on as my no.1 🥇 for #5DebutAlbumsSF3. A top 3 favourite album of all time 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
What’s the best three album run from a band? 4 of my favourites that deserve a shout. Could easily add a 4th album to some of these too.

No cheating. Post your lock screen.

Brutally carved #5DebutAlbumsSF3 down to a 16 album shortlist. 15 real contenders and, my favourite new discovery, The Beths. My 1st & 2nd places are nailed on, but choosing the last 3 is going to be impossible. I’ve listened to all of these albums over the last 3 days and it’s been absolute heaven🤗
#last4albums #MusicSky • Asteroid No.4 - In Praise of Shadows • Father John Misty - Fear Fun • Grandaddy - Under the Western Freeway • Ronettes - Presenting the Fabulous…
#last4albums #MusicSky • Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang • Midlake - Van Occupanther • Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues • Catherine Wheel - Ferment
grooveharder@richierouse.bsky.social · 2w ago#last4albums #5DebutAlbumsSF2 Very likely 4 of my 5 🤔
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Courtney Marie Andrews - Valentine Another 2026 favourite album and a real return to form for CMA, after 2022’s Loose Future, which I couldn’t get into. But this is right up there with Old Flowers and Honest Life, for me 🙌🏼 Another top quality, Dinked Edition, pressing too 🤗
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Widowspeak- Roses Another favourite album, so far, this year. Simply gorgeous 🤤 Played this in the office the other day and it even caused a couple of the music muggles to show some interest and enquire as to who it was.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Courtney Barnett - Creature of Habit One of my favourites this year. It’s become my morning commute soundtrack over the last couple of weeks, to help prepare for the day. Easy choice for my Saturday starter to hear it on wax after all that streaming. Flawless Dinked pressing🙌🏼
#My5FaveAlbumsSoFar 1. Asteroid No.4 2. Courtney Marie Andrews 3. Widowspeak 4. Courtney Barnett 5. Feeble Little Horse Slim pickings for me so far. Loving this top 4 though. Very little between them. Swim Deep not totally hitting the spot just yet and still need to spend some proper time with BOC
grooveharder@richierouse.bsky.social · 4w ago#My5FaveAlbumsSoFar So here’s my 5 favourite albums of 2026 so far: 1. The Coral - 388 2. The Asteroid No4 - In Praise Of Shadows 3. The Hanging Stars - Just A Day 4. Widowspeak - Roses 5. The Haunted Youth - Boys Cry Too
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Brother Bird - Another Year Only discovered this 2024 album, a couple of weeks ago, but it’s become my current obsession. Gorgeous vocals and hooks galore 🤤
Taxiing my teen daughter and her friend around last night, and chuckling to myself as I hear them in the back seat playing “Football or Racist?” when we pass houses flying St George flags 🚕 🏴 😂
#last4albums #MusicSky • The Streets - Original Pirate Material • The Streets - A Grand Don’t Come For Free • Brother Bird - Another Year • Bjork - Debut Nothing quite gives me genuine goosebumps like the uplifting moment of Empty Cans! Every single time. 🤗
#NowPlaying #MusicSky The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field Wow! 🤯 🙌🏼 Hooked. Can’t stop playing this. Late to the party. Straight Line was my introduction to them, so I now have the pleasure of exploring their back catalogue. Wonder what it sounds like on vinyl 🤔 For research purposes, obviously 👀
Remember when you thought this film had the worst officiating and corruption you’d ever see in football? 👀
#last4albums #MusicSky • BRMC - Howl • BRMC - Beat the Devil’s Tattoo • The Beths - Straight Line Was a Lie • Turin Brakes - The Optimist LP Those BRMC LPs are never far from my ears. Howl is in my top 20 all time list. The Beths just gets better & better. So good! 🙌🏼 Must explore their earlier LPs
Haven’t shared #AppleMusicReplay stats for a while. Mos Def - Black on Both Sides firmly back in rotation after 5DebutAlbums in May. Even purchased the vinyl, finally. Became obsessed again with Turin Brakes debut last month. An absolute joy. Such a tight groove on Underdog, and as for that solo! 🤤
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Swallow - Blow (Blown Reissue) This has been on the vinyl wish list for years, so it was a no brainer when this, long overdue, reissue was announced. Absolutely stoked to have this on wax. Fantastic pressing too 🔥 Essential shoegaze 🎸🔊🤤 Loving the vocal version of Lovesleep!🙌🏼
#NowPlaying #MusicSky The Asteroid No.4 - In Praise of Shadows Wasn’t digging this one at all, at first, but I revisited it a couple of weeks ago and it really clicked. Vinyl purchase was inevitable. Might even be my AOTY, at present, although it only has 3 competitors in my collection so far.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Pink Breath of Heaven - Colors Make a Sound Huge thanks to @richierouse.bsky.social for picking up a copy of this when he saw them live recently, and posting it on. Legend 🙌🏼 Sounding glorious on wax 🤩 Already on its 3rd spin.
#NowPlaying #MusicSky Phoebe Bridgers - Lost Boys She’s back! I rarely buy 7” singles, as I can’t usually be bothered to play them, but I had to make an exception in this case. Lovely acoustic version on side B too. 🙌🏼
