Pinned
I’ve been playing about with creating new feeds this week.

This one should show gig pictures (as long as someone uses the word gig in their post).
Have a try and pin it if you think it might be of interest, the more feed options the better I’m finding.

Day 10 of #90sTop30
21. In Your Room - Depeche Mode
Songs Of Faith And Devotion
1993

A brooding intense song from DM from their 4th classic album in a row. The sound of me studying for actuarial exams in the evening in a small flat in Glasgow (Anniesland for those who know the area).

DREAMS BURN DOWN (1990)
Ride

Another mini epic, a firestorm of scorched-earth guitars, monolithic drums and lyrical despair.

We fill up our days and nights
We fill up the gaps in our empty little lives
But we know that we are doomed

22. Perfume (all on you) - Paris Angels
single
1990

An indie-dance classic, can’t count on how many times I’ve danced to it at Bristol’s Kandi Klub (at ever changing venues from 90-92). Those opening synth pulses would have me running to the dance floor if not already on it.

LAZARUS (1993)
The Boo Radleys

A huge monolithic epic of dubby beats, swirly guitars and euphoric horns.

23. Tina This is Matthew Stone - Prolapse
Pointless Walks to Dismal Places
1994

The song that grabbed my attention, with its motorik groove, piercing guitars, and twin (shouty) vocals. But this was only 2018 seeing friends attend the Moth Club gig. Now one of my favourite bands.

More than 11 million viewers for #TheCelebrityTraitors finale last night.

That's up three million on the previous episode, with iPlayer viewership still to come. Bloody hell.

24. A Night In - Tindersticks
Tindersticks [II]
1995

Lush orchestration, a smooth baritone, totally different and beguiling. This whole album is brilliant, the soundtrack of long walks with my newborn daughter in a pram around Govan, Ibrox and the surrounding area on a weekend.

Rudimental
2013

Not my normal cup of tea, but I have a soft spot for this drum & bass / pop album, particularly Waiting All Night.
Likely to miss out on my top 5 but not by much.

I rarely do politics on social media but this is an outstanding piece of journalism from a team at Sky News on the way that algorithms on "X" affect what you receive in your feed.
Have a (10 min) read and make your own mind up
NB
I deactivated my X account 2 years ago after 14 years on Twitter/X
A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon

25. The Actress - The Delgados
Peloton
1998

I really like the quiet-loud-quiet guitars on this, together with Emma’s vocals, works really well. Although I own most of the Delgados albums it’s only certain tracks like this one that stand out for me.

And now we’re back with the 1987 Festive 50, and in at number 49 is what many sight as the mother of the “UK hip-house” explosion of the late 80s. Cultural behemoth, you might say.
