If you’re not aware, I work at a radio station called Spark Sunderland and have done for some years ever since I was in the middle of my undergrad in 2019. Right now, I do a show called Beautiful Ones, broadcasting an hour of Britpop every Saturday midday, but as of late I’ve also foundContinue reading “Entry #51 – What I’ve Been Listening To Lately: August and September 2025 (a.k.a Hold your nose, take the plunge…)”

Entry #7 – Head Music (a.k.a Suede’s Be Here Now?)
This is an album I’ve been wanting to delve into for a while.
