Mostly music, melodies, mirth and malcontent.

➖➖🔥➖➖ 1️⃣ My Record of the Year 2018: "Time Will Die & Love Will Bury It" by Rolo Tomassi! ➖➖➖➖🎶➖➖➖➖ 2️⃣ The rest of my Top 10 of 2018 (in no particular order): Møl - "Jord" Drug Church - "Cheer" Rope - "Come Closer Now" Slow Crush - "Aurora" Turnstile - "Time and Space" Antarctigo Vespucci - "Love in the Time of Email" Conjurer - "Mire" The Dirty Nil - "Master Volume" Mindforce - "Excalibur" ➖➖➖➖🎵➖➖➖➖ 3️⃣ Some honourable mentions. ➖➖➖➖🔥➖➖➖➖ It's saying a lot that all of these don't even account for even half of the records I've enjoyed this year. And this is the first time I can remember that I've gravitated towards so many heavy records - @holyroarrecords has a lot to answer for! Looks like 2019 has a high standard to beat! https://www.instagram.com/p/BroJZ_3FmX6u0kkq_qqQmDd2tdXhGs7pae6LnY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q5ddcdvvsvna

No fucking way is this record a decade old already! I can vividly remember the summer this came out. Life has changed a lot in the years since, first for the worse and then thankfully for the better, but this has been a regular go-to soundtrack throughout all the ups and downs. A really special record. #thegaslightanthem #the59sound #nowplaying #jams #10yearsold

Only took 'em 14 years!!! Worth the wait though; wall-to-wall jams! #hotsnakes #jerichosirens #jams #nowplaying

I've loved this song since I was a kid; Dad's Drifters Greatest Hits tape never left the car (several cars in fact!) and soundtracked so many family journeys! #thedrifters #motown #jams #nowplaying

If you like riffs that hit like a tsunami of tar and razorblades, and the idea of pretty much every super-heavy variant of metal and hardcore being twisted and knotted together (and finished with production that gives it a MASSIVE wallop), you 100% need to get "Mire," the new record by Conjurer ALL up in your business. (Shout out to @holyroarrecords, who are on a huge hot streak!). #jams #heavy #nowplaying #conjurer #mire #holyroar #holyroarrecords

Last thing I read online before walking into the gym today was an article about this record turning 20years old... be rude to give it a whirl really wouldn't it? Absolute classic! #kiddynamite #jams #gymjams #workoutsoundtrack #nowplaying (at New Image Gym)

@las0687 and I are having our Valentine's Day tomorrow. So... What to do when your Valentine is out for the evening? Listen to weirdo sad-rock, of course! . ↖️ Glasvegas - "Glasvegas." Checking out more artists I'd missed or never heard. Dismissed Glasvegas as another boring bunch of chart-bothering indie divs when they first appeared. Tbf, a couple of tracks do support that view, but the rest are fantastic! Starting to think being Scottish makes you automatically good at music... . ↗️ The Eels - "Blinking Lights and Other Revelations." Suitably impressed by my first taste of this band, I figured I'd dive into their obligatory giant double-LP; mellowed than expected, but beautifully melodic throughout. . ↙️ And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - "The Century of Self." I go through periods of loving this record (and tbh, this band) and then ignoring it altogether for ages. And yet with every re-listen, I wonder how I ever manage to get fed up of them when they're THIS good! . ↘️ True Widow - "Circumnambulation." Absolute treacle-thick gloom rock! Chanced my arm on this CD for three quid in a sale; worth it! #jams #nowplaying
