He’s off his tits

Just seen someone drive past with flags flapping from every window. If you want to express your pride... Plant a rose garden. Take up watercolours There are many traditional dances. Learn to play the motherfucking lute for all I care. Just stop intimidating those unlike you.

Without doubt one of the best bands I’ve ever seen live…

Bob Dylan - nashville skyline , vinyl LP £15.39 21 New from £15.39 amzn.to/3JOPPxJ #ad

Bargain

Early morning play, not his best certainly, but has this fella made anything approaching a bad album? Clue - no

Played this last night for the first time in probably 35 years. When it’s good it’s superb but more filler than I remember. Brilliant memories though…

In there for album of the year

The second marvellous record by The Cyrkle, contains The Visit (she was here) one of the very best tunes of the late 60’s, it’s that good

Bit late to the St Vincent party but Annie’s quite wonderful isn’t she?

18 years old next March which is worrying in itself, forgotten just how great this record is

And he was excellent, lots of the new album in the setlist which is fine by me, it’s magnificent

Waiting for Cass McCombs in Bristol. Lovely..

A murderous dictator has kompromat on the US President and is making him do his bidding. The Cold War never ended for Vladimir Putin. What is happening to America right now is his greatest triumph.

What a fucking prick

Blimey! Now this is very very good indeed

Such a hugely consistent songwriter, no idea which is his best album, but this one is up there for me. Looking forward to the new one @ronsexsmith.bsky.social

Magnificent 60’s American psyche pop, supported the Fabs at their last gig at Candlestick Park and managed by Brian Epstein, who really did have great instincts

Well this is rather fabulous

Today’s road trip soundtrack, in all the times I’ve seen him this is one of the best constructed set lists he’s played, frustration, anger and rage in every single song. Magnificent

Another magnificent record from The Hanging Stars

Post of the last 24 hours

As ruinous as the Trump junta will ultimately turn out to be for this country, maybe the longest lasting effects will be from placing the superstitious beliefs of an insane, unqualified former heroin addict over educated, experienced, disciplined medical professionals.

Fascist wanker

Of counts it’s not but the Fat Fascist doesn’t give a shit about the law

Genius at work…

Perhaps a strange record to play on a sunny Sunday morning, a concept album about death, but the marvellous Tunng make it anything but depressing. Quite beautiful.

Back to 2007 for this wonderful record from Dan Snaith. To be fair all of the Caribou records are superb

Long haired bearded men in make one of the albums of the year shock. My Morning Jacket’s Is

Perceived wisdom is that The Kinks were pretty crap in the 70s, up to their necks in theatrical concept albums. Well I’m not sure, because this is pretty great.

Hugely underrated

How magnificent. Been waiting patiently for this…

Soul in 2025 from Kansas City ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Remarkable talent

So bloody sad…

She was always a jazz singer really.

Fela.

More Fels in the house. From 1972/3 recorded at Abbey Road for you studio obsessive. On fire, as usual

Ryley Walker’s Golden Sings that have been Sung. From 2016 and a real favourite, love his records

Feeling old? This is thirty next February….

Surprise

U.K. men of a certain age will be receiving their bowel cancer screening kits through the post. Please please complete it & return, it might save your life, it certainly saved mine. Thank you.

Posthumous release from 2002 which is much better than it should be. I loved Ian, saw him live at his peak a few times. Much to enjoy here..

Not seen much comment on here about the latest Little Simz record, well it’s one of the best of the year, so there.

The trio of Evans, LaFaro and Motian made just 4 records, two studio and two live. They might be the best trio jazz has ever seen…

Ain’t that the truth
