Just fitting in a listen for #5albums23 before we get the Christmas decs down from the loft & put the trees up 🎄 #NowPlaying I Inside the Old Year Dying by PJ Harvey. I was initially disappointed with this, but then it clicked & I’ve kept wanting to return to it in recent weeks.

in an attention economy like this one, it’s so dangerous and important to look away, to pay attention to the real, the quiet, the small, to focus: adventure and art happen in the personal sphere, not the public one

#NowPlaying Everything Is Alive for #5albums23. There are plenty of people on here who know much more about Slowdive than me. I discovered them relatively late (I was a fan of Mojave 3 first) & found them a slow burn initially, but I’ve enjoyed this a lot over the past few months

#underdogsongs #OurNovemberSongs Thanks to @Jonatha10574808 & @Vanguar34665236 for the great challenges, & for allowing me to combine them during a busy month! My last pick’s an instrumental from possibly my fave underdog Elliott Smith: See You in Heaven youtu.be/FuxAjkzD2pw?si…

#NowPlaying The Returner by Allison Russell for #5albums23. Made at the A&M (Henson) studios where Joni Mitchell often recorded, Russell has said this is “a multiverse of energies that merges the celebration & the battle cry”. One of my faves from recent months & on my shortlist.

#underdogsongs #OurNovemberSongs Caitlin Rose: Nobody’s Sweetheart (2022) Caitlin should be a major star IMO, but writes some of the best underdog songs around. “When you’re nobody’s sweetheart You make the rules Nobody’s sweetheart And nobody’s fool” youtu.be/7u9NjTmjpwI?si…

#NowPlaying Bird Machine by Sparklehorse for #5albums23. I’m usually wary of posthumous releases, but this is a gem. It reminds me of Elliott Smith’s From a Basement…, but this set of songs feels less bleak, even if just mostly in music & delivery rather than subject matter.

#underdogsongs #OurNovemberSongs Scott Walker: Epizootics! (2012) Sometimes artists who’ve already had significant success can become underdogs in later life. Scott Walker was pretty much a master of such reinvention in the second half of his career. youtu.be/2Ih7KzKLLWA?si…

A few more jazz albums that I listened to this morning for #5albums23. The first of these, Bad With Names by corto.alto, was my favourite, but all are worth checking out. corto.alto’s track Mechanisms was one of the standouts for me: youtu.be/uNyWJMGeDl4?si…

#NowPlaying The Ballad of Darren for #5albums23. I was in my final year of high school in ’99 when Blur last released an album I like this much. Barbaric & The Narcissist are 2 of their best songs, but the whole set rings true. Confessional & mature, midlife reflection suits them
