Headphones, if you've got 'em...

[Giles]

My first job during (which is why I only just scraped a BSc Econ) and after university was running a design and print shop in Mayfair, London. I was young and impressionable and the head of the design department was, to me, the coolest thing that had ever lived. He listened to Joy Division a lot, so guess what, so did I

Weather permitting, Paula and I are taking SAKURA down to Dartmouth in a couple of weeks to visit friends who have their boat moored in Noss on Dart Marina, in the next berth but one to them is Bernard Sumners boat.

So I am playing these and reconnecting with my youth.

I remember Joy Division. NMA also brings back memories from my school days.

It was a great era for music…the Smiths, Joy Division, New Order, Depeche Mode, and plenty more that will come to mind in a few. Have fun!!

I could watch 24 Hour Party People every day and not get sick of it.

I’m back in the new BoC. It’s really good.

@Matt
It is good, still growing on me. But I have to say that I’m still not really feeling the robo voice and (imho, excessive) vocal sampling. I prefer more instrumental tracks with sparse vocal sampling.
But I love these guys nonetheless and am stoked to have a new album after 13 years.

I like this one a lot

The part I don't like is that im no longer in my 20s listening to the first 2 records stoned with my roommates

Here's one for @goosehd

[Matt]

These new Mike D solo songs have me very excited for a potential album or tour with his kids band.

[SKT]

We let the kids make our recent roadtrip playlist and it was nuts in a good way. The Kinks, Fountains of Wayne, Disney’s Descendants Soundtrack, Wilco, sombr, The Beach Boys, The Cure, Phoebe Bridgers, The Clash, Vampire Weekend, Olivia Rodrigo, Old 97’s. My proudest moment… Descendants soundtrack notwithstanding (and lots of newer acts whose names I can’t remember)

[Jett129]

@SKT Whenever I went on road trips with my son, I insisted that he make the playlist. Great memories!

Fountains of Wayne

I could take or leave the single but welcome interstate managers is a criminally underrated album

[SKT]

Second leg of the trip home took an 80’s turn but stayed eclectic. Queen, G’nR, Panda Bear, Billy Joel, K-Pop, Geese, Hall & Oats, Soccer Mommy, Tommy James and the Shondells…it was a wild ride.

@SKT assuming you are streaming your algorithim must be confused AF right now

[SKT]

@GraemeE it was on their device so my algorithm remains pure

[GraemeE]

@SKT good man

I do the same - my account must remain unsullied from the likes of Hamilton, descendants, k pop demon hunters, zootopia etc....

[SKT]

@GraemeE honestly them getting old enough to have their own Spotify accounts has been algorithmically cleansing
