I am Foster

Not sure if anyone even looks on here anymore but I have to share the fact I went to see the mighty Prolapse in Newcastle on Thursday night! First time seeing them for about 27ish years…They were off the scale superb! New album out in a couple of weeks too!

@WallyTBM @mtmiseryband My latest T-Shirt 👍🏼

An absolutely magnificent release by @mtmiseryband blasting through my car speakers right now & if you like perfect guitar Pop, with a healthy dose of jangle and absolutely gorgeous Melodies & harmonies, this one is for you 👌👌👌👌📻👌👌👌👌 *** One of the best releases EVER ***

@Acetate0Fissile @hoodmusic @DecliningWinter @chr1s_adams Honestly have no idea other than it must have been 1992? It probably was from NME, although I used to also buy Melody Maker…

@saintetian @hoodmusic @DecliningWinter @chr1s_adams Hiya mister, can you tell me please the date of the Sirens review (/NME I guess)? Ta!

Tiny reviews of the first two @hoodmusic singles released on Fluff...reminds me, I never did get round to buying that Tony Hadley single... @DecliningWinter @chr1s_adams

@hdif Oh go on then, let’s have a listen! One of the very best ever 7” singles!

Today's single is I Got A Habit by The Orchids, which was released on January 25th, 1988. I have a huge soft spot for The Orchids - lovely people, wonderful songs and James Hackett's voice is a wonder.

After listening to Outside Closer last night, tonight was the turn of Silent ‘88. One of the very best albums of the nineties and sometimes my favourite Hood Lp! @hoodmusic

@hoodmusic Happy 20th anniversary to the Masterpiece that is Outside Closer. One of the greatest albums of, well the last 20 years…I shall raise a glass of Aldi’s finest IPA in its honour. 🍺

Fox In The Snow, where do you go to find something you could eat? Cause the word out on the street is you are starving… Well, Hemlington, Middlesbrough clearly…@bellesglasgow Frost really but you get the idea…

Now playing “Deep Into The Night”, the accompanying Cd that came with initial copies of The Night. An even more ambient collection of tracks and a beautiful thing it is! Going for silly prices online but there’s a lot of em out there so will be cheap enough in time @bobpetesarah

First listen to The Night by Saint Etienne on vinyl. The Bandcamp Splatter vinyl with signed card and Heavenly fanzine. Sadly didn’t manage to grab a copy of the 300 only Black Vinyl 🙄… A other great ambient collection from the mighty Etienne @bobpetesarah

All the Christmas Classics are coming out. Old and New! @bobpetesarah @SlumberlandRecs

@HippBoro Yes! Stereolab used it for an album called Transient Random-Noise Burst With Announcements that I don’t actually own and the Jenny Ondioline 10” that I do own!

@saintetian One of Frank's?

Not gonna lie, I’m finding this Stereolab album a hard listen! 🙄 Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements…

Merry Christmas @SoundSwansea and all at @SkepWax! My one and only Christmas Card I have received looks fabulous and oh so Christmassy on my mantle piece with all the other Christmas Tat! 🎄🎅🏻❤️

@guild_simon @emoresponse @jigsawrecords Was very surprised how quick it got here! Congratulations for playing on one of the best albums of the year! Only listened twice but this is very, very good! 👍🏼

New Boyracer Lp Seaside Riot has made it across the Atlantic to North Yorkshire. Along with Patch, Badges, Postcards, Cd Ep and some genuine Oregon sand! Im off to the Seaside for a few days but will avoid any Riots. We’ve had enough riots this year! @emoresponse @jigsawrecords

Tonight’s Hood 7” is the rarely seen (250 only) Benjamin Whiskey 4, a split release with Steward (Stewart Anderson). Featuring an early version of I Can’t Find My Brittle Youth. A great record! @hoodmusic

@DecliningWinter @hoodmusic Of course it did. I still have my copy!

@saintetian @hoodmusic Good to see this again. It came with Open Your Eyes fanzine where we interviewed (amongst others) Pavement!

Dug out all the Hood 7” singles tonight. Playing this 3 track flexi, all songs with “Girl” in the title. Hood’s Girl Called Heaven is a great track and recorded way back in 1991! Must be one of the earliest recordings? A great start! Sure this came with a fanzine? @hoodmusic

@hoodmusic Wow 20 years! An incredible double 7”. I can still remember being blown away when I first played it, and the album that followed was truly sublime…outstanding stuff!
