Mostly Here For Music
@justonemusicfan.bsky.social
Started this account to share a countdown of my top 100 albums of the 21st century so far. You can find that if you scroll to the start. Sticking around enjoying other, mostly music, stuff.
This is entirely my opinion. Meant for fun only.

Olly has stopped using the Years and Years name for stuff that's been effectively solo - and given us the “Polari” album this year. This is the standout single.

Year-end song lists have been a thing of mine since 1993. I've shared these lists in various ways over the years, but this year, here!

Found a stack of paper versions of charts from ‘92-‘94 too. Prob answers some questions I’ve had in recent months. Stashed with the binder full of charts for now though.

BUT why I’m reposting is even more about agreement with the comment that you shouldn’t be allowed to pay extra to skip the line! YES! That’s so incredibly rude. Turned an okay night into an absolutely miserable one a while back…

New music! Well, kinda! This just dropped as a single. I’ve been wanting this since April when the album arrived.
Album - Rooms By The Sea - technically isn’t out yet, beyond crowdfunding. When it is, I recommend it enthusiastically. Hasn’t quite reached the heights the last one did for me yet…
