Psalm 69 by Ministry I assumed was going to be just industrial metal and there was plenty here for the Rammstein fans but also speed metal and thrash. A decent bunch of tunes. #pop #music #album

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney is a fusion album of DnB, Hip-hop, jazz, South Asian and Arabic influences and it's beautiful for it. Leaning in heavily to the themes of nuclear war it's a great album. #pop #music #album

With the Beatles by the Beatles. Lots of good rhythm and blues covers and some development in the song writing. All My Loving is very good. #pop #music #album

More Specials by the Specials was a really good listen. I hadn't heard a lot of their stuff but really enjoyed this, much more than I expected. #pop #album #music

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause is an odd mix of Peter and the wolf, post war balladry, military themes and 80s German pop. Weird. #pop #album #music

Guitar Town by Steve Earle is the kind of cheesy country I'd have dismissed when I was younger. It conjures images of big skies and immaculate smiles. There is some depth to the song writing. #pop #album #music

War by U2 is somewhere between new wave and traditional U2. Great singles. Enjoyed it. #pop #album #music

From Elvis in Memphis by Elvis Presley is one of those lush, later albums with that country and soul influence. A lovely thing and In the Ghetto is a banger. #pop #music #album

Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics contains the monolithic titular single and Love is a Stranger. The rest was good stuff. #pop #album #music

Quite bored waiting for my daughter to finish her swim coaching qualification. Wandered round a very cold and quiet Tadcaster.

In Utero by Nirvana is mental agony in music form. You can hear Kurts struggles amongst a mix of beautiful and abrasive cuts in turn. Give it a spin. #music #pop #album

Battle ready after final metallics, washes and recess shades. Highlights, base and transfers to do. #warhammercommunity

Sex Packets by Digital Underground is early 90s pre-gangsta rap. It's hilarious but I'm not clear if that's really a good thing. Enjoyable stuff. #pop #album #music

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson sounded as I expected - like Willie Nelson. I don't have much hinterland with which to compare it but it was pleasant. #pop #album #music

The Score by The Fugees is seminal 90s hip-hop collective commercial crossover. Decent. #pop #music #album

Black Messiah by D'Angelo and the Vanguard is a funny one. I really don't like neo-soul but it's obviously a quality record. Not my taste but probably very good. #pop #album #music

Radio City by Big Star is inoffensive soft rock. Meh. #pop #album #music

A slightly different style of jazz with A New Tango by Astor Piazzolla and Gary Burton which is an accordion and vibraphone world music influenced mix. Interesting. #music #pop #album
