I was supposed to be spinning some newly purchased records today but got a bit distracted! It’s been a blissful, My Bloody Valentine Sunday. This is as good as it gets, musically, for me. Absolute heaven 🙌🏼😎
This new Just Mustard album is fast becoming my autumnal soundtrack. Haunting music, perfectly suited to these dark, eerie evenings. I love it when an album takes hold of something, that you can always associate it to. #MusicSky

Such a lovely drive back up home from Manchester this morning. Not a cloud in the sky, singing along to these albums, and I’ll never tire of that first site of the fells, as you approach Kendal. Absolutely glorious 🤗 Amazing night at mbv but happy to be home in beautiful Cumbria with my slippers on👴🏼

First time I’ve seen My Bloody Valentine live since 2008, and wow! absolutely amazing. An almost spiritual experience, at times. My heaven 🤗 #MusicSky

Can’t believe She’s Green are playing Manchester on the same night as MBV. Genuinely considering watching them play their support slot at Academy 3, before racing over to Aviva Studios, in time for MBV’s set 🤔 Too risky? So tempting though. Chances to see either band is/will be rare.

Expecting to see On Sunset Lake by, Cumbrian chancers and Byrds plagiarists, Kontiki Suite, sail into the #5DebutAlbums1014 top 3 👀😂 I genuinely don’t listen to my own music usually but I’ve played this a few times recently.
