The drummer's still got a hat on TBF ;)

I always passed over his Mistrial LP but after taking a chance on it it's become one of my favourite Lou Reed LPs. I Remember You is one of his best.

Our New Skin is a cracker.

I once got my head bitten off for suggesting it was in some ways it was just a slightly disappointing follow up to Loaded.

I heard Will Sargent say recently that Mac hates it!

Would recommend it.

Do you know the Weekend LP? Same era/producer?

Maybe an "Our Tune" compilation will be next. From what I remember those stories were all super grim.

You might enjoy "did we hear the same song" by The Van Pelt, it pays tribute to Marquee Moon in the lyrics and the music.

A bit besides the point but check out The Sweet Things You've Got it Going On on you tube. The best early VU rip off I have ever heard!

My Buddy Valentine, Buffalo Tim, The Smirths, Primal Dream, Quarter Japanese, Mid Black, Scenic Youth.

The Sound of Confusion.

Just read that Scat are reissuing the EP in February. Good timing!

Whitney K's Bubble (my favourite 2025 LP) is going cheap in the Rough Trade sale. RIYL Silver Jews, Lou Reed, Bonny Doon.

Phillipe Auclair shared a This is Pop starter pack

B.S Johnson is THE track off that album ;)

Looks more like a Viz feature.

Saw one of the Hammersmith Odeon shows a few days later and got this.

Ha, I didn't know that :)

I was surprised when I found out some years back.

Blondie's Hanging on the Telephone is a cover of a song by The Nerves.

The Chills album wasn't really an archival release ;)

Interested to see how you do it without sounding like Billy Bragg. I'm sure you have some interesting tricks up your sleeve.
