Playlist: part #6
The Girl with the Replaceable Head – Shangri La Yeah, I’m an 80s kid. That comes with certain conditions. In particular, there’s a twang of a guitar that jets me back to my carefree, younger days when life was simple and the Cocteau Twins catered for most of my musical needs. Which brings us neatly to The Girl with the Replaceable Head. Not just a great name for a band, this lot also have a neat line in jangly, shoe-gazey indie that would surely have bagged a deal with 4AD in about 1990.

At a tough time for smaller music venues, it’s great to see a cluster of bars around the railway station work together to showcase some exciting local talent.

I came across Zoë Evans a few years ago. It was back in 2018, and the song that caught my attention was Again. I remember listening to her powerful vocals and thinking, "Who is that?"

Sh*t I Could Watch Over and Over and Do # 11
It's weird, staring down the barrel of thirty years. You have lines most indelibly etched into your steadily sagging face. Your bones hurt a lot more; there's less energy. You're taking a tackle box full of medication, and your hopes and dreams swirled down the rusted drain pipe of yesteryear, along with your ability to lose belly fat, retain hair, or get an erection.

Funeral - Arcade Fire's First Noise
Twenty years... I am not sure why I listened to the album again, but there I was, on my way to work, looking through my saved music and I found 'Funeral,' the first full-length album by Montréal's own Arcade Fire.

Playlist: Stockton Calling
Cortney Dixon – Summer Love Well, this is everything you could want from a pop song. Catchy, distinctive, and blessed with a distinctive purring vocal that sends shivers down the spine with each verse. Cortney grew up listening to the likes of Fleetwood Mac, the Pretenders and Bowie and she clearly picked up a song-writing trick or two along the way. Summer Love, as the title suggests, is a bright, fun slice of disposable flippancy, laced with a slightly pensive twang.

My Modern 80s Playlist
As someone who grew up with 80s music. I have been accustomed to the genre. I wasn’t even four years old before my mother sat me on the couch and played Pat Benatar, Bonnie Tyler, Natalie Cole, and the list goes on. My mother is the reason I got into 80s music and she's also the reason I raided her CD collection (Sorry Mom).
