🇬🇧 The Jesus and Mary Chain "Some Candy Talking" – 2026

Blends sweet pop melody with a haze of feedback and distortion. A perfect example of their ability to balance noise and accessibility.
The RSD edition has got acoustic versions on the b-side bringing out the melodic side of the band...

#CrucialTracks 🎶 Today's prompt: Do you have a fun story about how you discovered a certain song?

Tide Lines - Far Side of the World

On a trip to Scotland with my mom, we took a 3-day minibus tour from Inverness to Orkney. Our driver Kev had a great playlist of Scottish music on in the bus. Instead of using my limited mobile data to try to identify this song so I could listen to more of the band later, I took a photo of the display screen.

Later, we ended up finding Kev's playlist on Spotify (eww), and it became the basis for my own "Take Me Back to Caledonia" mix on Deezer.

This is a good video on Appalachian music, but the channel as a whole has a lot of useful stuff on #irish music. Maybe give it a watch?

The #1001Albums generator gave me Franz Ferdinand today. Pretty sure I still have this one on CD somewhere. 5 stars. Bonus points for being Scottish.

I know I've said it before, but the transition in Take Me Out is just so perfectly executed. 🧑‍🍳💋

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Simple Minds "Sweat in Bullet" – 1981

Blends rock instrumentation with electronic elements which makes the tracks energetic and expansive so they reflect Simple Minds in their early, more experimental and rhythm-focused phase...
