20 years ago today Aerial came out.
I bought it on CD at the time and wasn't blown away by it.

Years later I saw I was wrong. It's possibly a Top 3 Kate Bush album for me now.

I'll give it a spin later

Sounds great! Is it this one? Not sure I want Billy Ocean interrupting such things...

Always like an inspirational quote to think about before I get to work on the nostril hair...

TIL: There was a Thompson Twins computer game in 1984.

Play as one of the band to gather potion ingredients for the Doctor.

Hope they consider relaunching for the Switch 2.

Quite annoying when stuff like this is lumped in with an established artist.

New album by The Horrors

I thought.

Except it isn't... it popped up as a new release but it appears to be AI drivel.

A jolly good weekend of vinyl purchases. Shame I have to work and haven't got round to playing any yet!

Not sure which one to go for with the #ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge which starts tomorrow!

What?

Phwoooar. Arrived yesterday...

Erm....ok!

So we're getting AI Elvis backpacks now then?

Oh - just checked. Now I look silly

First listen to the Wolf Alice album has made me think I might save those HMV vouchers for CMAT next week instead.

Might try and give #ArtistFave70s a go from tomorrow.

Picking 10 fave songs from that decade only.

I'll go for this chap

I could pay £159.99 for a Kinks box set from HMV.

Or I could pay £50 from The Kinks official store! (Townsend)

Just pre-ordered a new compilation of French 60s trio Les Roche Martin. They only released 2 EPs and the one pictured here would cost about £300.

Modern clear vinyl won't have the same charm but it will do...

Depeche Mode - Speak and Spell

Can't get used to the European LP track list (different from the UK cassette I had in the old days) but it's the only version I have on vinyl so it will do...

Shocking Blue on shocking pink vinyl.

I can just about cope with that...

Anyone feel there should be more 60s French Pop on here?

Just seeing if there's interest for a possible #musicchallenge for September...

From 16-30 September, #Ye-Ye-Yeah will feature 15 daily song picks celebrating mod, garage, baroque pop, and of course yé-yé.

Elevenses! I don't look this good though...
