I mean they had a chance to MAYBE try a little course correction with the public… and ended up fecking it... So, so very badly.
Cheers as always Richard!
Always a mystery how some make it & others don’t, & these years were full of label backed CD sellers, but it is ALWAYS a pleasure to see & hear what the cohort enjoy.
Glad some I didn’t choose got through, - a few that passed me by were great “new finds”.
Onwards!
Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins! ❤️ Just missed out on my list. 😢
Cheers Richard!

Absolutely terrifying prospect.
An ideology comparable to setting a dumpster on fire and rolling it through a tinderbox forest, not because you should, but because you can’t thinking anything better to do and “it might work, it might not”.
This not a valid or sensible policy approach.
He hates women, hates people of colour, hates Jews, hates ANYONE that is “beneath” him.
He is the worst of humanity. A debasement, brown nosing Trump wannabe with kit a single good idea or solution.
He has repeatedly shown us EXACTLY who he is; the press should fight back & maybe de-platform him.
What a bunch of….
Nothing good comes from these people.
Nothing hopeful for the communities of Gorton and Denton.
Nothing to make anyone’s lives better.
It’s just an ugly pitch to boost Matt Goodwin’s needy ego.
Voting for this is voting for hatred and failure.

“Farage…decided the complaint was not serious enough to warrant a rethink about Goodwin’s selection…
[He]characterised the complaint as “just Matt being Matt”
Hmm. Not sure a pair of misogynists are the best people to judge what’s “serious enough”.
Let’s ask her.

Vampire Weekend - s/t
Utterly superb LP with some ridiculously good playing from all of the members.
Rhythm is brilliant, great vocal harmonies, song topics at times weird, really interesting though, brilliant instrumentation & production.
Gonna be in my 5 for sure.
So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.”
When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK?

Heartbreaking from @yasminalibhaibrown.bsky.social on the very real damage Farage and Reform are doing to our country and shared future.
“Brexit was the first, deep cut into that optimistic, multiracial Britain. What has followed was entirely predictable.”

Ladyhawke- s/t
New Zealand’s Pip Brown made this synthy indie pop banger of an LP.
Paris Is Burning, My Delirium, Dusk Till Dawn, Back Of The Van, Magic - every one a banger.
All catchy, lyrically interesting, & excellently produced songs.
As good an album as any from 05-09

Little Boots - Hands
Victoria Hesketh’s debut bounces from one infectious tune to another.
I love every single song on this, some fun, some dark, many both, & she wielded that Tenori-On during gigs like a magical weapon.
Shades of Donna Summer, Kylie, Moroder & Eurythmics.

The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes
2006. Joyously fun, hugely infectious, hooky tunes, & an unapologetic 40 minute love letter to girl groups of the past.
Much more sophisticated than it seems.
The fact that we got solo Gwenno & Rose Elinor Dougall (The Waeve) later is a bonus.
Fantastic shout.
Love this tune, love @carlajeaston.bsky.social
Absolute legend!
This is what the world needs right now - something upbeat and relatable, full of energy and fizz. Something excellent and joyous.
Congrats to @carlajeaston.bsky.social on this video.
The new LP is out for preorder and live shows are available.
Support the indie artists!
After a live show and house concert filled with these new songs I can assure you that;
a) live shows will be absolutely bouncing
b) this new album is going to be wall to wall indie pop bangers
I’ve got my copy preordered, got my tickets, now go get yours!
#stayweird #newmusic #scottish #indie
The new songs from @carlajeaston.bsky.social are next level and I’m so looking forward to this phase.
Great shout.
Some songs are easier to write than say. Especially when you start crushing on a good friend. If you know you know! 🎸✨️
Can't wait to share this with you all next week!!!!!
Absolutely LOVE this from @carlajeaston.bsky.social
The new LP is going to be jammed with indie pop bangers!
So looking forward to the LP and shows from @carlajeaston.bsky.social - always has been a superb writer, musician and performer… the new music is something else. This new era will be VERY special!
❤️
Thanks Richard! It was a great poll to jump back in on (I was 14–19 during these years), & I listened to a lot of stuff I missed at the time.
4 of my picks made it, which is delightful, as I still listen to them regularly.
Good to see so many I love but had to cast aside through too.
Don’t pretend that if you’re voting for them, that you don’t want this.
