Counting this art book as it contains a few rare one-shots of Yuzuki’s but also this is the most gorgeous collection of colour art from one of the manga industry’s finest, framed across six magazines, five decades, and 131 volumes.

Cute and sexy, but delves into darker waters here, deftly navigating the complications of relationships involving BDSM. Honestly the art style keeps it from being crushing at times, which is a relief. Great comic.

Not a quick read, but a great collection of Moon Knight's earliest outings, showing his rapid development from one-off opponent to a richly complex character, with a lot of context-adding backmatter!

There's something viscerally thrilling hearing Blue Cheer brush up against the first inklings of a heavy metal sound on Vincebus Eruptum, a forward step so huge that it makes the record fairly timeless. 539.

The Divine Comedy is perhaps too witty and winking a venture, but the tunes are incredibly good, the wit well-aimed, and basically that'll do for 485.

PJ Harvey's Dry is the sort of album that changes lives, a raw wound picked at, an unflinching look at womanhood and society's negative perceptions as such. One of my all-time faves at 44.

Went into Joe Ely's Honky Tonk Masquerade blind and was pleasantly surprised by some incredibly solid country rock. A worthwhile experience for anyone who wants their tonk honked. In at 568.

Joyce Manor's latest is another lesson in 'less is more', as 9 songs and 19 minutes get you moving and feeling more than most of anything else. Excellent emo pop-punk at 269.

Incredibly literary, goofy, and heart-wrenching all at once, as ethereal as ever even with some sick 80s basslines and synths funking it up along the way. More top level Kate Bush at 21.

Had more than a few tricky ones from the 1001 album generator this week, but I think I'm making headway.

ALT BLK ERA are a breath of freshest air, taking the sounds of acts like Enter Shikari and Hadouken! and polishing the idea to a mirror shine. Wholly their own lane, and they're nailing it at 518.

Elvis Costello & The Attractions' sound is so refined on Imperial Bedroom, to the point of *almost* working against it, but it still comes out as an all-time album of art rock with a balanced view of failed loves. In at 282.

Yellow & Green is my first encounter with Baroness, and while the former colour is stronger than the latter, the whole of this double album truly wows with a melodic metal exploration of addiction and recover. In at 195.

Lots of heart-fluttering this volume. I keep saving Skip and Loafer for later as a guaranteed joy and I’m foolish. Gimme joy all the time, gonna catch up on this.

A recent favourite, and the first comic to make me cry this year. A truly beautiful series with a style and tone I’ve not seen anywhere else.
