    Seven Songs for the Week #130 - 1st Oct 2025

    Jason Carty

    Three tracks on this week's list are from exposure on CBB-FM. I had a lot of painting/decorating to do last weekend (and on future weekends) and so I put on CBB-FM, a music and chat podcast from the Comedy Bang Bang stable (available on the paid subscription tier). The most recent episode had Chris DeVille as a guest, the editor of Stereogum, and he has a new book out about late Noughties indie rock. That seems recent to an old man like me, but I guess this is the equivalent of me reading about the late 70s punk scene in the early 90s. There is a definite period between the reign of physical music and the dominance of steaming: MP3s, iPods, blogs, My Space, all of that. I do own this album, bought cheaply in Fopp IIRC, but I can't remember much more of it beyond this beguiling opening track. Maybe I should give it another spin.
