If I had to call a top 3 albums of 2026 so far, this would be in it, but as it's not on streaming services, most won't hear it unfortunately ...
So get it bought!
Other two albums would be @Thetwilightsad and @deathcrash2 for the record 😉

I didn't have time to do a big write up of my favourite albums of the year for '25 (that nobody reads anyway 😉) ... but still did a list and the ubiquitous accompanying playlist:

Just when you think German efficiency is as bad as it gets at Cologne airport ... You land at Edinburgh and inefficiency gets raised to another level 🤬

It might be the fact I've had a couple of glasses of Malbec ... Or the fact I'm a sucker for arty TV ... but episode 3, season 4 of The Bear is one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen

Anyone know the stage time for The Murder Capital at St Luke's in Glasgow tonight?
Driving down from Aberdeen for the gig and see there's an after show from 1030 so must be an early set ... Don't want to miss anything

I feared for the new @thecure album on first listen as wasn't sold on "And Nothing ..."
Several full listens in and it's clearly their best since "Disintegration" & better than some it's predecessors 😉

So many outstanding albums released so far in 2024 that doing this years list will be tough ...
Front runner by a country mile for #1 released this week though ...
Impactful, emotional, beautiful

My video and lasting memory of the last bit of standout track "BABYS IN A THUNDERCLOUD" from their outstanding gig at Glasgow Barrowland earlier this week ... My 15 year old son and I were blown away!

Once you have been sonically and emotionally 'battered' by the latest GY!BE, I highly recommend immersing yourself in the new Alessandro Cortini "NATI INFINITY" ...
Decent headphones / speakers required to get all yer frequencies on this belter 😉
