the Hats love is palpable. funny, I'd always heard of it as a popular album lurking in the lower regions of listicles for a while but it was only quite recently I felt galvanised enough to give it a go. it must have turned up 5 or 6 tines on

a lot of the albums that have been my favourite album long ago I still do love but I feel I was such a different person then that they no longer feel like *my* faves... and now I listen to music in a way less album centric way (and verrrry non classic-album way)

Sadly, the complete No Limits is not yet on Spotify, but Get Ready was added two days ago, so the tide is clearly turning in Mr Average's favour here.

yeah me too. it's very much like, what collection of tracks will be good for situation x, y, z.
i have a fair amount of LPs and i like to sit down and give something a listen all the way through but it's rare that i have the time. the last album i did this with was gene clark, no other, which is totally 5-albums-list material.

I have no idea how I've managed to live without The Blue Nile's 'Hats' for this long, but this is fantastic.

I listened. It's equal parts lovely and boring at the same time. 'Headlights on the Parade' is really pretty but it also really reminds me of something else that came out a few years later and it's really bugging me....
― Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc (dog latin), Monday, 3 October 2016 14:48 (seven years ago) link
Perhaps you're thinking of These New Puritans? Or maybe Majical Cloudz?
― the tightening is plateauing (Le Bateau Ivre), Monday, 3 October 2016 15:34 (seven years ago) link
we should poll hats, right?
― k3vin k., Monday, 3 October 2016 15:46 (seven years ago) link
I think Headlights on the Parade Ground always reminded me of Kraftwerk's Neon Lights and always wondered if it was conscious on their part. Definitely a Kraftwerk track from around that era anyway. TGHough the instrumentation is pretty differenmt. I think it was melody and structure and the central riff.

Oh Sleeve, put the Swans album back on. I'm pretty sure that at this point even Larkin would forgive you. And Mark Smith was an ass too.

Xxp Trembling Blue Stars is lush melancholy New Romanticism, Kamkars are a Kurdish group I am in love with.
What I like about this thread is its arbitrary nature. That everyone seems to realize this is day trading, and any fave five will be completely different a next day.
I'm grateful alone for having learned about the Blue Nile because of this thread.

the blue nile don't get a fair shake from me because of their name. it always makes me think of the alice coltrane tune and then i want to go listen to that instead.

The Blue Nile make me want to listen to Laughing Stock instead, to be fair. Or any music with a pulse.
