The album Grand Prix by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub celebrates the 25th anniversary this week! Simple lyrics, memorable melodies, the Fannies at their creative peak? Although Bandwagonesque might just edge it for me. Fan of the Fannies? |

I was recently introduced to Detroit musician Ted Lucas (not in person…#RIPTed). The 1975 self-titled album is standout legacy. Recorded mostly at his home, the LP found a new lease of life around 2010. Enthralling soft psychedelic folk. Any fans? |
