kyuss - supa scoopa and mighty scoop (1994)

sometimes i’ve found it hard to decide on a song of the day as there mightn’t be anything floatin’ around in my head. i’ve started to take note of album release dates and today happens to be the 29th anniversary of kyuss’ self titled (or welcome to sky valley) album, whatever name you prefer. a great album to space out and listen to while high on your favourite stimulant of choice, if that’s your thing.

the armed - sport of form (2023)

saw that a new the armed single was released. the jury is still out with this band for me. i did like their last album ultrapop but there is just something in my brain that won’t click to make me listen to them more. nice to see the iggy cameo in the video.

queens of the stone age - the evil has landed (2017)

had just watched qotsa kill it at glastonbury. i’d recently listened to their last album after years of thinking i hated it. then to realise i actually liked it and that i forgot i liked it. anyway villians good album.

gza - 4th chamber (1995)

honestly the wu-tang clan completely escaped me, barring a few songs that hit the charts in ireland / uk. enjoying playing catch up and discovering some bangers in the process.

billy nomates - no (2020)

tor is an amazing artist. the comments she received after her glasto appearance was fucking uncalled for. saw her in workmans in 2021 and hope she makes it over to ireland again.
