Grabbed my mum some tapes she used to own but my granny chucked them after she moved out. They join the original Now album I got her last Christmas.
Nik Kershaw - The Riddle
The Top Gun soundtrack (full of bangers tbf)
Madonna - The Immaculate Collection
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
Billy Joel - Piano Man
I also picked up a few out the charity shop while I was there with some decent stuff this time.
The Wayne’s World soundtrack
Poison - Look What The Cat Dragged In (it was 50p and come on, Talk Dirty To Me is a bop)
Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies
Jar of Flies especially is a great find considering it goes for quite a bit more than I paid. My pre-order of Weatherday’s Come In on tape came as well, which totally suits a rougher format as the production’s homemade anyway.
For some reason, I've found myself listening to Linkin Park again recently. I used to listen to their songs religiously when I was a kid, but what I didn't know was that they had made so many songs that I've completely missed out on. These are some of my favourite ones that I've recently discovered:
Chester had such an angelic voice and absolutely exceptional vocal range. Every song of theirs has so much weight behind it. I genuinely can't stop listening to them, what an amazing band.
@Keith_Zissou I happened upon one of his live sets on YouTube and just happened upon this track. When I first listened to it just really got me and I must have listened to it 5 or 6 times that day. Really wish I had any musical talent to make something like that. I know what you mean about his age as well. Must have had an easy paper round 😆
It’s been a while since I’ve listened to Beach House but I’m going to check out that new album 👍
@render I helped with the lyrics and harmonies and stuff but mostly the guitarist wrote the instrumental base and the singer came up with the lead melodies (I helped a tiny bit there too) for this one.
@nessisonett I've heard Jackie Down the Line quite a few times on 6music recently, quite like it. Are you looking forward to Elden Ring (you don't have to reply to that bit here).

So I just learned of this U2 side project called “Passengers” with Brian Eno. I am by no means a U2 guy, pretty indifferent to them, but Passengers is interesting. Nothing mind blowing but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Apparently they used one of their tracks at the end of the Ghost in the Shell anime but I don’t remember it.
Been on a bit of a jangle pop/college rock kick. It’s really quite the treasure trove if you dig past your Smiths or REM and listen to stuff a bit further afield.
