I also just found out that Under The Milky Way was co-written by Steve Kilbey and his partner at the time, whose band I linked to in the post. Not a bad earner, I would imagine!

You’re welcome! Thanks for the response.
Try the jangle pop My Bloody Valentine? This album was a compilation of music that came out before their first Creation Records album.
Ecstasy and Wine (1989) - Yewtube or Youtube
My picks from Loveless would be Only Shallow, When You Sleep, Come In Alone but basically most of the album.
They can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, so it’s fine if you don’t get into them. I’m the same with a lot of bands. I came to MBV at a formative time in my life and they were pretty much the first “famous” band that I ever saw live, but even now, I can’t say that I listen to them all the time.
In case you’re interested in that vinyl re-issue. I had it on cassette and possible, later on CD, but never on wax.
I think it was the season that Viv and Joe Montemurro arrived that coincided with me figuring out that I could use the FA Player to see WSL games. I had caught some of the Euros that The Netherlands won, so was pretty pleased that Viv was joining. I had heard about the “Arsenal Ladies” since becoming an Arsenal supporter but hadn’t had a chance to follow with any regularity before then. Definitely sad news, IMO, to hear about her departure!
Not known publicly. The rumour is Man City, which would be suboptimal.
Well that was quite something
Found an English language interview with the band, and have been listening to their Bandcamp. It’s nice.
Uncanny. I listened to Brubeck a few hours ago.
90% of my week (at least it felt like it) was focussed on Alvvays. I count myself as very lucky to see them on consecutive nights, during the week, and both gigs were soooooooo good. I saw them 4 years ago and have really liked them for a while before that…but now I really love them. They probably top my personal chart right now and will do for a while, I think. Seeing this NPR set capped off a great week of fandom!
It’s almost the perfect site for a music festival and impeccably organised. The single thing I dislike about it is that there isn’t an area that has car-free camping. I always take the bus there and it would be so much better not to have all the motor vehicles mixed in with the tents.
Because I knew nothing about the nomination and award process, I looked it up. Seems reasonably cromulent, actually. Of course, there could be all sort of hidden machinations.
It’s the Grammys, so that’s not unexpected!
The gig was so good that I bought a ticket for their second show!
I will have to listen to more. What podcast was it?
Thanks for posting. I never saw Moldy Peaches play but I did see Kimya Dawson busking once…and I do remember hearing this song before.
I can’t tell you how much I love Alvvays. They are playing my city in December and I can’t wait to see them.
