Morvern, I love you, but your historical revisionism is bringing me down

-
Aye. So. Fuck. One of these three tracks probably should have been on this mix. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck...
-
Holy Fuck - 'P.I.G.S' + 'Red Lights' + 'Stay Lit' (Marc Riley 6Music Session, 17-11-10)
-
Moar, here.
-
PS, Just in case anyone even remotely gives a deep-fried fig, these were my 'Top Five Albums' of the 'Year That Has Been' (this may change tomorrow, just saying, and yes they are in explicit order of preference).
-
Drum roll....
-
1. "Fast Trains and Telegraph Wires" by Trembling Blue Stars
(A stunning - WEEP! - farewell from Bobby and Beth. Just utterly gorgeous. Heart!)
2. "The Golden Archipelago" by Shearwater
(Played on repeat, to death, but didn't suffer for it. Genuinely breathtaking.)
3. "Allo Darlin'" by Allo Darlin'
(This record nearly made me smile. And sing. And dance. Shock!)
4. "I Shouldn't Look As Good As I Do" by Math and Physics Club
(OMFG. A cracking return from Seattle's finest. After Tullycraft, likesay.)
5. "Measure" by Field Music
(Just one of the catchiest and inventive records I played this year. Full stop.)
-
Please buy at least, let's say, three of these records! (though you can pick up the MAPC record a lot cheaper, and with bonus tracks, here).

  1. I am so with you on #1 and #3.

    (*whispers* I had a bit of trouble getting into #2 earlier in the year but based on what you wrote will dig it out and give it another go)

    I'm so glad you're back :). Merry Christmas.

  2. Thanks Greer! Merry Christmas to you and the family. Do give Shearwater another go, it will pay off, I hope, and if you get the chance to see them play live it'll make even more sense, I promise. x
