Finally! We’re into the lovelier, hopefully COLDER, rainier, windier, multi-coloured-leaves-on-the-ground season of autumn! And so comes another batch of albums that delighted my ears for the first time last month. Although I do the majority of my initial listening via…
New (to me) Music – July 2026
A little bit later than planned, here are the albums I heard for the first time in July. Three returning artists and three new to the blog series! Where there’s an official site for each artist, I’ve linked to it…
New (to me) Music – June 2026
Six more albums newly acquainted with my ears in the horrible heatwave-filled month of June. Where possible, I’ve linked the artist heading to their website or Bandcamp. 1990 Bellybutton Well now, that was quite an eye-opening opener! I’ve previously heard…

New (to me) Music – April 2026
Another collection of first-time listens, ranging from 1977 to this year! 2016 Wild Pendulum I’ve seen the name Trashcan Sinatras around a lot in the past couple of weeks. It might have something to do with the fact they have an album…

The first clutch of first-time listens for 2026. All but one are returning artists to the series so let’s discover January’s album plays. 1967 Pet Sounds My first exposure to The Beach Boys wasn’t through the radio, or via one…
New (To Me) Music 2025 – Yearly Round-up
Since this has been a fun series in which I discovered my favourite band (no need to say who if you follow this blog) and enjoyed lots of new (to me) music, I plan to continue in 2026!

New (To Me) Music – October 2025
Happy Hallowe’en, everyone. As a Scot, it’s all about “guising” (trick or treating), carving turnips and dressing up as something actually horror/supernatural related. Well, it would be if I bothered with it, these days. No, my hallowe’en celebrations consist of…
