I’m baaaaaack!! Tomorrow night, my show is returning on DKFM and my special guest is RIDE’s @stevequeralt.bsky.social, whose solo album Swallow was one of my faves of the year. We had a great chat, about being solo, Ride’s music both past/present and seeing My Bloody Valentine’s recent London gig.

Oh, how I do love an indie compilation lp! One of the best ways to discover new bands 😀
They do, yes - they were just rebadged. I actually did a whole blog about these years ago and Chet Selwood, who set up the series with his sister Bee, got in touch and gave me a bunch of information:
