#WashingUpMusic lately has been one of my favourite albums, The Ideal Crash by the (mainly) Belgian band, dEUS. A top album from start to finish with many manic, and mellow, moments. I'm still a huge fan of them but I wish they'd tour more often! And, Guy Garvey is a fan, too. 9/10 #dEUS #TheIdealCrash #belgium #belgian #GuyGarvey

Tonight's #WashingUpMusic was The Leper Affinity and Bleak from The Loyal Disharmonic Orchestra Conducted By The Powers That Be, by #Opeth. Only two tracks but they do total 19 minutes! It's 100% an amazing album. The band at the very top of their game. And THAT version of Harlequin Forest on here is perfection. #MusicToot #metal #TheLeperAffinity #Bleak

Tonight's #WashingUpMusic started off with On A Rope (TOTAL BANGER!!!) by #RocketFromTheCrypt , Tractor Rape Chain (in my favourite 100 songs) by #GuidedByVoices , Skin Deep by #GunsAndWankers (great name, great song), This Mystic Decade by #HotSnakes, Soldiers Requiem by #NakedRaygun, Method by #Pegboy (brilliant) and, finally, another Rocket From The Crypt tune, Bring Us Bullets. Makes up for missing #totp tonight. #MusicToot

Tonight's #WashingUpMusic included Heavy Like The World, by #GuidedByVoices, Subspace Biographies by #RobertPollard (a.k.a. Mr GBV) and North Side Star by the mighty #Mastodon (how cool, eh?). They were all preceded by the new #GBV song, Serene King, another slice of 3 minute pop magic by Robert Pollard and the boys. Hooks straight in.

Today's #WashingUpMusic is #Folklore by #BigBigTrain. This was their 9th album but the 4th with the more "revered" line up that included the late David Longdon. Each #BBT album is a majestical journey and Folklore has many live staples (they rarely played live, anyway!), including The Transit Of Venus Across The Sun, Winkle (a true story, that one), Folklore and Wassail. Check them out if you love your #Prog and need to tap into something wonderful. #DavidLongdon #NickDVirgilio #ProgRock
