#NowPlaying: 'Suede' by Suede (1992).

The wife's out on a night shift which means I can spend some time with Brett (she can't stand the sound of his voice).

Opening a glass of wine and remember thinking this was just decent glam/art/indie rock at the time with no clue about the era of Britpop that was just about to start.

We have a black turntable flanked by two black speakers on some white furniture with grey wallpaper behind. The playing record is black vinyl. On the right speaker are the words 'Now Playing' lit up in front of the record sleeve.

The sleeve shows the naked head and shoulders of two white short-haired androgynous figures kissing passionately. There is a golden glow about them and the band's name is above this in lower case gold letters.

Aus Hannover und Bremen stammt die Band #FeathersAndGreed, deren Album "Pari shƍkƍgun" eine wilde Achterbahnfahrt mit Elementen des #ProgRock, #PsychedelicRock, #Jazz und #ArtRock bereithĂ€lt. Sicherlich etwas fĂŒr die lĂ€ngere Distanz und sehr spannend.

🇬🇧 David Bowie "Excerpts from Outside" – 1995

A dark, experimental journey into a dystopian world of art, murder, and fragmented identity. Bowie and Eno blends industrial rock, ambient textures, and narrative chaos into one of Bowie's most daring sonic explorations.

RELEASE YEAR: 2025BAND URL: depress1.bandcamp.com/album/ha

There is no stopping the engaging Andrej Nebb and you cannot keep a true artist down, which is why I am now holding a copy of the latest De Press album between my filthy paws.

The 70-year-old Nebb sounds as inspired and determined as ever, and his skilled bring his musical visions and ideas to vivid life [

Kyle is playing the works of the great songwriters and songs they inspired him to write, along with the tangents, rants and non sequiturs you've tolerated since 2007. Sharing this post kills fascists!

Sadistic Mika Band (ă‚”ăƒ‡ă‚Łă‚čăƒ†ă‚Łăƒƒă‚Żăƒ»ăƒŸă‚«ăƒ»ăƒăƒłăƒ‰) – Black Ship (黒èˆč) (1974, Japan)

Our next spotlight is on number 84 on The List, submitted by avi_miller. Black Ship (or Kurofune) is Sadistic Mika Band’s second LP, regarded as an influential album in Japanese rock history. The cover art plus the fact that this band’s name is a parody of “Plastic Ono Band” – “sadistic” a reference to how Mika used knives in the kitchen – tells you exactly what this album is going to sound like. It’s quirky, it’s breezy, it’s delightful. The band would break up after the following album but would go on to do more wonderful things (Yellow Magic Orchestra, anyone?), so this is a lovely rabbit hole to go down.

Sadistic Mika Band (ă‚”ăƒ‡ă‚Łă‚čăƒ†ă‚Łăƒƒă‚Żăƒ»ăƒŸă‚«ăƒ»ăƒăƒłăƒ‰) – Black Ship (黒èˆč) (1974, Japan)

Our next spotlight is on number 84 on The List, submitted by avi_miller.

Black Ship (黒èˆč, or Kurofune) is Sadistic Mika Band’s second LP, their line-up at the time consisting of married couple Mika (vocals) and Kazuhiko Katƍ (guitar and vocals) with Yukihiro Takahashi (drums), Masayoshi Takanaka (lead guitar), Ray Ohara (bass), and Yu Imai (keyboard). The album was produced by Chris Thomas, who at this point had already worked with the Beatles, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, and Badfinger.

I feel like the cover art plus the fact that this band’s name is a parody of “Plastic Ono Band” – with “sadistic” a reference to how Mika used knives in the kitchen – tells you exactly what Black Ship is going to sound like. It’s quirky, it’s breezy, it’s delightful. And I’m not certain if Black Ship was intended as a statement or concept album, but the title at least seems symbolic, referring to the Perry Expedition or “Arrival of the Black Ships” in the 1850s that essentially forced Japan to open up to trade with the West and resulted in “Japonisme” or the influence of Japanese art/design on Western art. While Black Ship sold poorly when it was first released, it has since been regarded as an influential album in Japanese rock history. With the release of the band’s next album, Hot! Menu (1975), Sadistic Mika Band toured with Roxy Music, becoming the first Japanese rock band to tour the UK.

Upon release of Hot! Menu (another Thomas-produced album), the band broke up, essentially due to the end of the Katƍs’ marriage. The band members would all continue to go on making music together, solo, or in other bands, and in various genres – including the jazz-rock/fusion focused The Sadistics, Kazuhiko’s solo ska and experimental work, and, of course, Takahashi’s synth-pop trio with Haruomi Hosono and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yellow Magic Orchestra. In other words: rabbit hole time.

Happy listening.

The cover art is a photo of two people (Mika and Kazuhiko Katƍ, I think) who appear to be flying in the air, a landscape seen below them and white clouds behind them, arms and legs spread out, facing the ground. One is wearing black pants and a black shirt, with a white scarf flapping in the wind behind them. The other is wearing all white. They both have longish hair flying behind them, and are looking at the camera.
