The Hoddle of Coffee: Tottenham Hotspur news and links for Wednesday, December 24

Good morning and welcome to the second a part of fitzie’s high 10 songs of 2025. Should you’re on the lookout for Nos. 6-10, you greatest look within the hoddle earlier than this. What? Don’t see the hyperlink? Nicely search within the archives, ya idiot! Let’s get to it:

It is a late version to the record, as evidenced by a current TOTD. I neglected this file when it got here out, however I suppose the fourth album is the appeal for this band. I’m glad they lastly made it to the centre of my radar. That is an unforgettable music. I hope it’s the start of a giant run for them.

No. 4: Moms of Riches, by Cate Le Bon

I really like Cate Le Bon. And it’s my fault for not masking her file this yr. I take full duty for not shopping for extra albums this yr. However that shouldn’t take away from the very fact she put out one other banger of an album. And that album is punctuated by the silky baroque pop music Moms of Riches. She simply retains getting higher and higher.

No. 3: Disintegrate, by Suede

I used to be speaking to a bartender at my native watering gap about Suede on Monday night time. I requested him if he appreciated it. “[Heck] yeah.” he mentioned. And so I advised him all in regards to the new album Suede put out, after which he talked in regards to the evolution of the band. Then we talked about Britpop, about Oasis and Blur and Pulp.

Suede will at all times reign supreme. I don’t care about this Oasis tour. Suede put out a strong, strong file this yr in Disintegrate and the self-titled monitor is on the identical degree as Animal Nitrate. Flip off the lights, shut your eyes and play it loud.

No. 2: Pyramid of Well being, by Viagra Boys

I by no means heard of Viagra Boys earlier than this yr. Wow, what the heck was I lacking? They exploded onto the scene (a minimum of fitzie’s) with viagr aboys, an unimaginable output of punk.

For me, it will go up there with Fontaines DC and Yard Act as probably the most formidable releases of Twenty first-century punk now we have up to now encountered. It hits you in each single route.

No. 1: mangeout, by Moist Leg

However actually, is something higher than Moist Leg? NO !!!

I don’t care that there’s a contingent among the many trustworthy right here who assume hating on Moist Leg is cool. Wanna know what’s cooler than that? Loving Moist Leg. And we all know that considered one of you had a revelation when listening to Moist Leg on the radio within the automobile a number of weeks in the past.

This yr is all in regards to the Moist Leg. Their sophomore album contained so many bangers that it was laborious to choose one to characteristic in my high 10 record however ultimately I landed with mangeout. It’s not as sharp as their different songs – a minimum of in musicianship – however the lyrics are much more pointed than a lot of Moist Leg’s earlier songs. That exhibits a tonne of development for this group. They’re probably the most thrilling issues occurring in music proper now.
