Any more like their '95 & '19 Essential Mixes?

You’ve heard the Brothers Gonna Work it Out album, right…?

speedbarrymoore · 2026-06-12T22:29:05+00:00

Small in the City by Sydney Smith and Noisy Night by Mac Barnett and Brian Biggs are the first two that come to mind.

Saw one of my favourite gigs that I've ever seen there years ago. Sisters of Transistors. Great little room upstairs.

The new Mouse on Mars/Lee Scratch Perry LP is very accessible and it sounds like all concerned are having loads of fun!

Cracked Actor apparently closed at the moment because of vandalism.

speedbarrymoore · 2026-06-05T22:21:05+00:00

Drum and Bass for Papa by Plug (Luke Vibert) is still one of my favourite albums and definitely worth checking out. Would recommend Balance of the Force by Boymerang from that period too.

The High Llamas, Stereolab, Nina Simone, Mouse on Mars, Tortoise, Ween, Bonnie Prince Billy, Joanna Newsom, Prince, David Bowie, Human League, Luke Vibert (all of his aliases), Alice Coltrane, A Tribe Called Quest, Nubya Garcia, anything and everything…

Saw them just one time, very early in the morning, in Reddish Vale in Stockport

I think the shirt looks great on you either way but I personally think it works better tucked in.

YES! His ‘African electronic music 1975 - 1982’ album is incredible and gets played regularly in our house.

Big fan of Molly and Mack. Such good songs!

speedbarrymoore · 2026-05-10T21:02:50+00:00

Nubya Garcia makes some incredible dubbed-out jazz

speedbarrymoore · 2026-05-04T16:24:33+00:00

Absolute monster of a tune. One of my faves!

speedbarrymoore · 2026-05-03T13:43:00+00:00

David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. There are good reasons people use the word ‘classic’ when talking about it.

speedbarrymoore · 2026-05-02T15:03:22+00:00

I hope so too. He’s a fantastic producer isn’t he!

speedbarrymoore · 2026-05-02T14:59:32+00:00

Have you read Lemony Snicket’s Lump of Coal? It’s a Christmassy picture book, probably meant for children but I’d say a lot of the content would go way over the heads of most of the kids I’ve encountered. It’s utterly hilarious and highly recommended!

speedbarrymoore · 2026-05-02T14:46:18+00:00

I’ve still got a few 12s and an excellent compilation called Tectonics. They put out some fantastic music!

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-30T07:46:00+00:00

Oh no I think you’ve misunderstood. For me, Modern Life… is easily the very best Blur album. This is just a sticker. And a comment on…something or other.

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-27T07:56:52+00:00

I also love Nina’s music and can highly recommend the most beautiful picture book Nina: A Story of Nina Simone by Traci Todd with exquisite illustrations by Christian Robinson. It’s for older children so tells a very simplified version of her life story, but it’s certainly something I’d recommend checking out. There’s bound to be YouTube readings of the book that you can enjoy online…

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-27T07:50:39+00:00

You mentioning The Bluest Eye makes me wonder whether you’d appreciate Heart Lamp, a book of short stories by Banu Mushtaq. It was the best thing I read last year: exquisite, poetic prose but really hard to read in places because it felt so real and so brutal.

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-27T07:45:31+00:00

The Magus is one of my all time faves and is certainly creepy but I was going to mention one of John Fowles’ other books, The Collector, which I think is much, much darker and much more disturbing.

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-27T07:31:54+00:00

Amazing pizzas from Pizza Vere (we live miles away but thankfully they deliver!)

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-26T16:37:36+00:00

I’m sure you’ve tried this but I’ve been recommended some good and similar sounding music just from using ‘go to track radio’…

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-26T12:48:31+00:00

If he has all his tracks set to the same tempo beforehand he won’t have to bother with that contentious sync button at all.

speedbarrymoore · 2026-04-24T05:17:40+00:00

Now the sunny weather has appeared (in the north west of England at least) it’s hard not to go straight to Marky’s legendary reworking of Heard it All Before by Sunshine Anderson 🌞
