#5DebutAlbumsFinal Interpol Some solid tunes. Second time I’ve heard this. Deserves some more plays but I have more albums to get to.
#5DebutAlbumsFinal Arcade Fire I’ve tried to like these guys. I don’t dislike them but none of it really makes me want to play it again.
#5DebutAlbumsFinal The Killers Don’t think I listened to the album before. I know the usual songs. Fine album but probably won’t be in my 5.
#5DebutAlbumsFinal Arctic Monkeys I thought this was going to be my first play that I owned. But the CD box was empty. No idea where it might have gone. Still love this album
#5DebutAlbumsFinal Burial - Burial If this was on at Luv-a-Fair way back when, I would have loved it. Old me respects it but not something I would play much. SpaceApe is great.
#5DebutAlbumsFinal First time listening to Fleet Foxes. Will be giving it another listen as it’s a lovely set of tunes.
#5DebutAlbumsFinal Listening to Fontaines DC - Dogrel 2019 was when I started listening to music again after a long time not paying attention. This was a favourite that year.

Tonight’s beer is Ahoy - Four Winds Brewing 7% Czech Style IPA Big fan of Czech Pilsner taste. This has that biscuity flavour with some interesting bite.
Tonight’s beer Superflux 6th. 6th anniversary beer. IPA with terpenes 6.5% Lots of dank lemon lime
My son, rum and coke drinker. No coke. Alright Dad give me one of your beers Hazy IPA. Too much orange Cranberry Sour. It’s just juice Wee Heavy. Raisin aftertaste ruins it Bourbon Barrel aged stout. This is awful tasting syrup. Picks up Hazy can. Thanos voice. Perhaps I treated you too harshly.
Tonight’s beer Superflux - Coconuts IPA 7% A hazy finished over a lot of coconut. I am a sucker for coconut in beers so this is fantastic for me.
Storm - Vanilla Whiskey Stout. 9% Harsh until it warms up. Lots of Vanilla. Not getting any whiskey at all.
Saturday night beer and book. Camp Beer - Hidden Horizon 6.7% Tropical but not too sweet. Decent hop finish.
Pasta sauce made. So time for some more record play. Another one that’s not seen a turntable for many years.
Today’s turntable Saw them once. Might have been at Crystal Palace Bowl
