What's Spinning

[Thackeraye]

I’m massively behind on posting my A-Z spins. Expect a bit of spamming while I catch up!

A-Z 249 to 251 Lyla Foy x 3



My dad was Lyla’s artist liaison during the Celtic Connections festival a few years ago. First album is on Sub Pop. Umi’s my pick of the bunch.

A-Z 252. Nils Frahm - Spaces



The curse of the HiFi upgrade - the crackles on side D of this are much more apparent now. Boo.

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 253 - Francie & Josie



£1 charity shop piece of Glasgow nostalgia. Comedy from the 60’s, which shows how much times have changed!

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 254 - F.F.S.



Hugely underrated album. They were great live as well.

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 255 - Franz Ferdinand - Always Ascending

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 256 - Frightened Rabbit - The Winter of Mixed Drinks

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 257 - Frightened Rabbit - Painting of a Panic Attack

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 258-260 - Fucked Up x 3



The realisation that Fucked Up are a live band for me…

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Plains - I Walked With You A Ways

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 261 - Fuck-off Machete - My Last Machete



This is good. If you like Life Without Buildings this is for you.

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 262&3 - Fugazi - In on the Kill Taker/Stargazer interpretation (not pictured)



Someone should pick this as an album of the month…

I don’t know, David Comes To Life and The Chemistry Of Common Life are both excellent studio albums. You just don’t need all their albums on wax?

A-Z 264 - Fugazi - End Hits

 

[Thackeraye]

Possibly. I have David.. on CD and again it never clicked as much as I want it to. I’m not sure what it is with them, I don’t know if I just struggle with the match of the vocal style with the music.

Manqueller Man rips, though.

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 265 - The Fugees - The Score



Man, I hate skits.

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 266 - Fu Manchu - The Action Is Go

 

[Thackeraye]

A-Z 267 - Fu Manchu - Godzilla’s Eatin’ Dust +4

killer live for sure, I just think those two in particular have a bit of studio flair (and lots and lots of multitracking) to make those special but it probably cuts down on the visceral reactions you get when Pink Eyes bounds around the stage.

A-Z 268 - Fu Manchu - Gigantoid



Brilliant album, especially this late into their career.

Oh, they are amazing live. They were never massive in the UK, so I managed to see them in a small club. Totally made sense there.
