Has anyone here heard the new album by The Last Dinner Party? They're an all-girl group from the UK that sounds like a mix of Kate Bush, Siouxie & The Banshees, Florence & The Machine, Annie Lennox, Abba and Sparks. I've been keeping their new album on HEAVY rotation for the past month and I just can't stop listening to it. If you're into theatrical girl rock groups with an 80's UK sound, I HIGHLY recommend you check them out!

Only just got round to this week's selection and it was totally worth the wait! El Perro del Mar will be in heavy rotation this week! I won't be "freezing to death" but I reckon I'll get a lot out of it regardless! Many thanks!

Enjoyed discovering Faye Webster, particularly her track with a Lil Yachty(!) feature, Lego Ring. “I want a Lego ring. I want it to hurt my finger.” Love it!

Yeah, it’s a really solid album, isn’t it? Not life-changing, but holds up on repeated listens.

Driveshaft vs Dingoes is an impossible choice!

Christian, Christian...how could you not include the all-skeleton band "The Dregs of Humanity" from the criminally underrated 80's sitcom "It's Your Move"?

I SWEAR TO GOD, I deleted a paragraph about the Dregs because the newsletter was running too long. They just missed the cut, unfortunately.

THAT’S the band I’ve been trying to remember! I kept getting them confused with Scum of the Earth from WKRP. Anyway: Shout out to TwaüghtHammër.
