#5dwbytalbums9094 #albumoftheday The Auteurs - New Wave (1993) The more exhalted bands of the era weren't fit to roadie for the Auteurs. Peerless songwriting influenced by The Bunnymen, George Harrison and The Smiths. Great cover as well. Best track- American Guitars #NowPlaying️ #MusicSky

#NowPlaying #albumoftheday John Grant - Queen Of Denmark (2010) New to me although I've heard many of the tracks out in the wild. The caramel voice of John Grant is an incredible instrument and is perfectly suited to the soft rock/Randy Edelman style material. Best track - Chicken Bones #MusicSky

Remembering the late Kirsty MacColl on her birthday. She had the perfect voice for pop and They Don’t Know remains my go to song of hers. Such a tragedy that we lost her so young.
