19. Big Black: Passing Complexion (1986)

Industrial noise, relentless drum machine beats and endearingly aggressive, off-kilter guitars. This is exactly what rock music ought to sound like 👏

Efter dokumentären om pedofilskandalen på Internationella engelska skolan i Karlstad fortsätter Moderaterna att kampanja med IES för en tuffare skola. Och många i koncernens ledning är just före detta moderater.

20. Kate Bush: Running Up That Hill (1985)

Love the pulsing synths, haunting vocals and ethereal atmosphere of this song.

21. Elvis Costello: I Want You (1986)

My favourite EC track is drenched in jealousy, obsession and raw vulnerabikity, not to mention brilliant, understated musicianship. Pure 🔥

Kanske den nu levande världsledare som, näst Putin, gjort mest för att destabilisera världen 🤷‍♂️

22. Zazou/Bikaye ft. CY1: Mama Lenvo (1983)

Outstanding blend of emotive Congolese vocals, rich melodies and layered electronic textures that buzz, hum and stir. The whole LP is quite stunning.

Daylight saving times should be abolished. We are no longer living in the 19th century, we can do without. It'll be great for mental health, and people hating early darkness during the evening. BST timezone should be permanent

likaså att brödtexten i källan faktiskt anger det som AI-sammanfattningen påstår att den anger. Men det är ju oftast en enkel verifieringsprocess.

Har hon alltså uttryckligen bett AI ljuga ihop en referenslista? Isf är det ju rent krasst bakom spakarna skiten sitter. Jag använder Copilot rätt mycket i jobbet för att hitta nischade publikationer, och får väldigt bra hjälp. Sedan måste man såklart alltid bedöma källornas trovärdighet/tyngd och

Well put! I bought my first Tom Waits record in October 95 unless I misremember, so exactly 30 years as a fan. 🎶

Absolutely! Arguably their greatest LP imo.

23. Wire: The Boiling Boy (1988)

No other band creates this kind of atmospheric, restrained intensity quite like Wire 👌

Ja, en riktigt imponerande och egensinnig trilogi helt klart. En relativt ny postapokalyptisk roman som imponerade stort på mig var A Children’s Bible av Lydia Millet.

I know you do Ed! But I also know I’ve explained to you that Icelandic is a form of ancient, twisted, cursed and rather evil Swedish 😁

26. Game Theory: Here It Is Tomorrow (1986)

A tremendous piece of power pop, expertly written and performed. Thanks @beernbugs.bsky.social for introducing me to this record 🙏

Cool! Only heard the more well-known (although still underrated) follow-up. How does this album compare?

En av mina närmaste kollegor spenderade två dagar där förra helgen. Hon lyckades på något vis helt missa att hon befann sig i en svårt härjad krigszon.

27. Mariah: Sokokara (1983)

Imaginative, delicate Japanese synthpop from a long lost cult album, finally reissued in 2015.

28. Suicide: Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne (1980)

Suicide’s trance-like exposure of the hollowness of excess is excessively beautiful.
