Noooo! Well it was still a very enjoyable 32 minutes.

Another strong contender for a top five place in the #5debutalbums1014 voting. King Creosote and Jon Hopkins beautiful, poignant Diamond Mine.

Daniel Avery’s Drone Logic. Very much in contention for a #5debutalbums1014 top five place.

Tempting to go with Big Country for this one, but I haven’t listened to this in an age and I always have a soft spot for RevCo.

Cheers for both responses - PC was maybe but Lana is nailed on.

Also, I’m guessing this isn’t going to count as Lana Del Rey’s debut? @richards7370.bsky.social

Good shout.

Important #5debutalbums1014 question. Are we treating this as the Parquet Courts’ debut album? There was definitely an album prior to this but it was tape only I think and only pressed to vinyl after this one.

I seem to own plenty of 2010 debuts; not sure how many are likely to make the #5debutalbums1014 top five though. Definitely some
I need to revisit.

Another much missed band, and a vidio treatment featuring lots of streetlights. You’re welcome.

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2013 as the "International Year of Quinoa", in recognition of the ancestral practices of the Andean people, who have preserved it as a food for present and future generations.

Lots to choose from again; Hope Sandoval, Doves, Elliott Smith, Guided by Voices and That Petrol Emotion to name a few. But let’s have nine and a half minutes of joy…

No one gets a Booths apart from north-west England and a couple of outposts in North/West Yorkshire sadly. Always visit the excellent Lancaster one en route to the Lakes. Butter pies and craft beer.

From a drummerless band, but a great band nonetheless. Sorely missed.

I was going to go for Bo Carter’s excellently filthy Banana In Your Fruit Basket, but I think I’ve used it before. This should keep the troops happy though…

Best cartoon of the week for movie nerds.

A Watchmen parody in which Dr. Manhattan is on Mars thinking, "It is 182. I am one year old. Tron bombs at the box office. It's 2010. I am twenty-nine years old. Tron bombs at the box office. It is 2025. I am forty-four years old. Tron bombs at the box office."
