I do a radio show playing new indie rock, jangle, post punk, shoegaze and that kinda stuff. It’s pretty ok if you ask me. Find the latest ones here: linktr.ee/majorlabelde...

Too kind sir, too kind.

Also if, for some reason, you don’t want listen to me talk, I have playlists of everything I’ve played so far this year - 7+hrs of mainly 2025 music - for both Tidal and Spotify.

(And if you’re using the latter, maybe consider switching to a competitor?)

I did a new radio show last week, the first one in 3 months! As always there’s an hour of new & recent jangle pop, garage rock, shoegaze and more.

Urbanism #51 | 16th August 2025

Oh hey there! I’m back! Slack’s has a lush new studio, I have some new track beds (which is good, I was v sick of the old ones), and there’s a huge backlog of tunes to play. Let’s crack on, shall we? ...

Also took me ages to place who Crimesss were, until I remembered they were a short-lived @loscampesinos.bsky.social side project. I had originally offered LC! to play and curate a day but they couldn’t do it, but did offer this instead. It was a nice thing to do. DIY music is the best.

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Aug 15

The funny thing about doing events like this is that you often don’t actually get to watch the music. I definitively had a few “huh?” moments looking at this, because clearly I didn’t see some of them, because I guess I was off meeting a band or firefighting some issue.

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Aug 15

Thank you to Facebook for reminding me that it is also almost 17 years since I put on a music festival.

Delving into the replies and it turns out it was made in 2020 and only just released 😃😃😃

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Aug 4

Yeah, seems like. It’s working now!

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Aug 4

I feel the frustration. It’s a good playlist although I think the embed is broken?

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Aug 4

Lotta good stuff in this 👇

Sweeping The Nation @sweepingthenation.bsky.social · Aug 4

The July STN Selects playlist, which yes, probably should be also available on another source by now, but also nobody follows them so it doesn't matter. sweepingthenation.blogspot.com/2025/08/stn-...

STN Select: July 2025

Is it still worth doing these? Given we don't think anybody reads them. Autocamper - Foxes Blue Amber - Yr Man in the Music Scene Boko ...

August 2nd. Pigeon in flight.

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Aug 2

Still one of the funnest cinema experiences I’ve ever had. Top flight garbage of the best kind.

That’s how you do a tasteful shop-to-residential conversion 🫡

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?

Watching Glastonbury in the office. If Cmat’s entire tour isn’t sold out by about half five there’s something (another thing?) extremely wrong with the world.

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Jun 23

I’m going to be polite and just say “Heaton has a very clear and defined urban identity and this is not it”

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Jun 23

“A fresh take on urban living”, is it 🤪

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Jun 22

As always, I can only encourage you to listen to @cheekface.bsky.social 🫡

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Jun 20

Haha. She seems fairly interested in the fan, but otherwise… yeah.

Daniel Fawcett @majorlabeldebut.bsky.social · Jun 20

I bought the cat this cooling pad about four heatwaves back. While I’ve never actually seen her use it, I have seen her sitting next to it many times.

And today, of course, will be no different.

Ahhhh no worries and thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it.
