I couldn't be more pleased at this news. It's well earned. A fantastic record. Honestly if this had dropped in the 90s when I was in highschool, we all would have lost our shit. Looking forward to all that is to come from these two. Bravo.

day 28: A song by an artist whose voice you love.

This one's easy. A voice so Goddamn gravely and deep, it touches bits no other can.

day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love.

Awesome track, although it's fair to say the video doesn't make me want to fall in love. I mean, look at that dirty, minging mattress! Plus, it sounds like the whole thing was total headfuckery, with band members not turning up to the shoot etc.

day 24: A song by a band you wish were still together.

This one's easy. Exit Calm made two albums before they split in 2015. I saw them live more than 30 times. Yeah, they were that good.

They never quite got the recognition they deserved, so I'm also submitting this for day 23 (which I missed 'cos I'm a busy woman): a song you think everyone should hear.

day 20: A song that has many meanings to you.

I struggled with today, but settled on this. (Let's say 'a few meanings', though. 'Many' might be stretching it a bit.)

Also, I don't even know what hashtags to use for this guy - he's too hard to categorise. And he was only 18 when this came out, which makes my head explode.

"If I Can't Change Your Mind"—Sugar
Number 30 in the charts on January 26, 1993

Bob Mould reckons this sounds like "The Lion Sleep Tonight". What do you think?

"Start Choppin"—Dinosaur Jr.
Number 20 in the charts on January 24, 1993
J Mascis on Top Of The Pops? Not yet (their sole appearance was in 1994), but this first single from Where You Been gave Dinosaur Jr their first UK hit.

day 17: A song you'd sing a duet with someone on karaoke.

I searched the tired depths of my brain to come up with a duet that I like singing ... It just happened to be another awesome '90s track.

day 15: A song you like that's a cover by another artist

Already shared Tricky's version of Black Steel on day 1, so here's some Primal Scream. Great cover of a great original by The 13th Floor Elevators.

day 14: A song you'd love to be played at your wedding.

This track *was* played at my wedding: yewtu.be/watch?v=te7PgEGj0z0

We had a massive playlist of alternative love songs - some played at the ceremony and some at the pub do later. (Still on Apple Music, actually: music.apple.com/gb/playlist/no)

day 10: A song that makes you sad.

I nearly forgot this because I haven't heard it for a while. I think this is the ultimate sad song for me, though. Gut-wrenching, spine-tingling awesomeness. Younger me used to listen to it endlessly on repeat, as I was a right miserable git. But one with taste. 😁

day 7: A song to drive to.

Since moving from London zone 4 to zone 2, I don't drive, because parking would be a total mare. However, when I did drive, it was all about the singing along.

Now, I know this is not everyone's idea of a singalong track, but I bloody love pretending I'm a tortured, drug-addled, mid-90s Richard Ashcroft.

(Yes, more 90s. No, still not sorry.)

Still haven't seen anyone else mention them on here, so I want to make another case for Blending by Hi-Vis as album of the year.

Quick for today, from Reverend Fred Lane's From The One That Cut You, here's I Talk To My Haircut. A crazy, swinging good tune...

I was never the biggest Smashing Pumpkins fan, but I did like the Siamese Dream album. This randomly came on shuffle today and I was feeling it. Plus it's a cool video.
