I love lists. Lists of baseball stats, lusts of trivia, movies, and of course, lists of music. I am resisting the temptation to crank out “Best Of” the first 6 months of 2023. End of year lists will be suffice..

I did, however, indicate that my favourite LP so far this half- year was likely ‘Standers” by CRAVEN FAULTS. [Ed. Note- See post 511 on May 28, 2023 for that or request a resend and rex will be happy to comply.]

I was anticipating that a possible contender for best first- half LP might be released near the end of June.

The LP is “I Don’t Know” by faves bdrmm. It will be a contender for LP of the year come December. Fittingly, they signed to MOGWAI’S 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ROCK ACTION label for this gem,

I had ordered the LP from my friends at STRANGER THAN PARADISE RECORDS in Hackney as they had obtained some with signed cover cards. This meant I had to wait until my return to the store last week.

It did provide me with my fave song of the first half, however. Here is ‘It Is Just A Bit Of Blood’ the 3rd track. I will let you listen and form your own opinion.
