Ruby Sprigins of Tolgus was another rec I got, took seeing it wrote down for me to remember to revisit it. Sandy Denny and Pentangle were in there too, will make my way through other recs and report back. Not sure how much I can take without some interspersing of other stuff.
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT?

Finally diving into Milan W.'s latest album from Stroom. This is exactly the kind of dour, goth-tinged romantic chamber pop I can listen to all day. Makes me wish there was fog outside my window (it is a sunny, mild day).
I recorded and Mixed this record for my friends here in Costa Rica. Great Young Garage Punk band in the Makers, Mummies and Stomachmouths tradition.
Veneno para Niños:
If you’d like to give it a listen, i’d love to hear what you think.
Cheers
Mad Scene - Blip
a perfect record really. kinda came and went but i hope it will one day achieve the status i feel it deserves
going through my dirty plates again. wipes, simps (canada got it on lock) top of the pops but man that spiral dub was the surprise hit. brilliant.
Simps dirty plate 7” is a doozy. B-Side contains what I’d say is their heaviest guitar moment. So good.
Need to hear the Spiral Dub one, their LP continues to get heavy spins.
Mystery_Ship they're playing in some different territory and it really works for them. Think youll be pleasently surprised.

Awesome. I love the Spiral Dub but was interested to get others takes. To me it’s the perfect closer for the series
Randall Will these dirty plates singles end up online eventually?
Stoked 'The Starvations - Get Well Soon' has been re-released!
JessVex Whoa!! This is incredible and unexpected news!!
Alvarius B - That's How I Got To Memphis (& Other Egyptian Love Songs) // Alan Bishop does buncha covers running the gamut from Tom T. Hall to Cleaners From Venus and nails 'em all obviously, pretty straight and sincere, jerks a few tears if yr so inclined.
Scritti Politti - Anomie & Bonhomie // super charged sophisti-pop-hop , hard to decipher , even harder to listen to.
Hunches - Exit Dreams // Sounds as good today as yesterday.
Death Panels - Maximum Soul: Makes the work commutes feel like a bong rattled hog ride to the end of the universe.
Hex Files: Femme fueled and duo bassists. Garage/Goth (or is it Goth/Garage) from Carrboro, NC.
The new Lavender Flu album.
The Mrs brought Doechii's 2023 album back into heavy rotation again this week after it dropping into medium rotation the past few months. Pop hooks, classic hip hop and ratty boom bap blend together stunningly.
Mystery_Ship That Worker's Comp record was my 2024 AOTY. So
Fire Engines Chrome Dawns. Really glad to have everything collected in one place, especially the Peel Sessions, which I used to listen to a lot after downloading years back. "Big Wrong Time" is a particular highlight of their more pop direction near the end.
Home sick and I found on old transfer. Enjoy. It is enabled to download if you want to transfer it somewhere else to listen to later.

carrying over a few from the old forum and adding a couple:
Fruited Planes - "Introducing The Moth Eggs" - Fabulous Portland, OR band that is new to me and surprising! Loose, groovy, psych rocknroll jams from ex-Monoshock, Jackie O Motherfucker folks...would've been on my 2024 best of list - can't stop listening to this...
Donna Allen - Atom-ic Citizen of the Dying Empire - newest full length from Chronophage singer/songwriter. Really lovely alt-folk, alt-country.
Spleen - II - newest demo or cassette or whatever on Roachleg Records - members of Puffers - arty, post-punk, brings Wipers to mind.
Abwärts - Anon Koma - debut LP from 1980 from this amazing German punk/post-punk band. Don't know why these guys have alluded me for so long - top shelf stuff with future Einsturzende Neubauten folks.
Guiding Light - s/t - rather cool, high energy, brittle, wave/punk from Austin, TX - great stuff!
TomDash Fruited Planes stuff sounds really great. Had not heard of before seeing the previous post. Scott Derr rules.
Anyone check out the new Son of Dribble? just gave it a cursory listen this afternoon, no opining yet but will be back to it.
