Starting off with the incomparable Nick Harper, using his own song Love Is Music as a foundation for a celebration of music, squeezing something like 20 covers in along the way🤯

A highlight of 2022 was seeing my friend Agnes and her band Balamuc play on the Golden Hinde. Super live band, very talented musicians and a whole lot of fun. Yedi Kedi was one of my favourite albums of 2021.

The Two Sides Of Tony TS McPhee (1973) is a definitive album of two halves. Side 1 is great but it’s all about Side 2, a completely unexpected prog electronica polemic on the moral injustice of fox hunting. Brilliant!

The Straight Story is my favourite David Lynch film, and probably my favourite film full stop, partly due to the exquisite soundtrack. Here’s a heartbreakingly beautiful example…

The most abrasive, uncompromising and aggy af hiphop crew ever to come out of the UK. Not sure you can dig any further underground than this tbh…

First drum and bass entry into this thread, and with this track floating around my head today maybe I’m pining for summer.

@tbcasap Or the fjords?
@Probertd8 yeah that fits too, but this is especially evocative of late summer nights for me
