White Flowers first release in 3 (?) years!

New single out today - Tear.

Lancashire's own shoegaze champions, back on a new label and with a slightly more electronic dancey sound it seems.

Cannot stop listening to this new EP from Argentine/English, Canada-based Bloom Effect.

Perfect mix of melodic shoegaze & dream pop.

Red Rum Club, Albert Hall Manchester.

Wow. One of the best shows and crowd I've ever seen.

Incredible night.

Richard Hawley, Blackpool, Coles Corner 20th anniversary.

- 2hrs+ on stage.
- Best version of 'The Ocean' I've heard him play.
- Never thought I'd hear 'For Your Lover Give Some Time'.
- His godfather is Joe Cocker.
- missed English Teacher queuing for the security checks out in the rain.

Sometimes the stars align.

REALLY recommend this War-On-Drugs-ish style tune from the new Milltown Brothers album out today.

East Lancs forever ✌🏻

I remember as a kid pressing play/pause to write down the lyrics to Divine Comedy's "National Express" (??) and wondering if I was losing my mind writing down the outro.

Enjoyable and confusing - this new CMAT album is full of bangers.

Finally watching the new Adam Curtis series, "Shifty", and now I don't know who or what I am.

I'm actually against the Lionesses now.
northernpundit.bsky.social
Hadn't thought about that, makes complete sense now.
northernpundit.bsky.social
Genuinely interested in this...

Who decides if the song/artist is shown on DAB?

Seems like some shows on @6music.bsky.social use it, some don't.

@craigcharles.bsky.social churns out banger after banger but I always miss the track.

Ozzy is one of like 3 people in Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 that comes off as a decent human being and I always love the scene where Penelope Spheeris interviews him making breakfast while he explains the ups and downs of the business.

What a way to go out.

A front row seat at your own funeral has to be up there in metal deaths.
