Happy Valentine's Day to My Boo, My Best Boy Jay! 😊❤️ XXXX

What does a dutiful wife do, but to shamelessly plug her husband's latest digital release on that there #Bandcamp! Yes, Jay's new album under his musician moniker of Oscilloscope is called "There Is Always Darkness, There Is Always Light", and it features some of his ambient Jamuary 2026 tracks! ❤️🙏🏾

Happy Birthday to my dear old Ma, who is 80 years old today! She's an Uber Mega Super Duper Timelord! Still going strong! 😊❤️🎈🎁🍰🎉

2016 was a proper mad year for me! On this very day a decade ago, I appeared on local television (North West Today/Tonight) as part of the BBC's excellent People's History of Pop series of programmes celebrating fandom! I talked about my beloved The Smiths and Morrissey, but of course! Good times! ❤️

This is who runs this account:

#nowplaying Sly & Robbie / Amp Fiddler "U"

Available now and for the next 29 days on BBC Sounds, the first episode of Superfans! Presented by Amy Lamé and featuring Yours Truly along with other wonderful peeps from The World of The Smiths and Morrissey! A very enjoyable listen, which I hope you will check out if you would be so very kind! 🩷🙏🏾

#nowplaying Trains - LSO "Exceprt from Espana"

I'm so sorry that the late, great Andy Rourke isn't here to celebrate what would have been his 62nd birthday today. But he lives on by way of the beautiful music he made which is his legacy that will last forever, and I will never forget him. May he continue to Rest In Power. King of the Bass! ❤️🙏🏾

Back in 2014, #AdidasOriginals ran a cool campaign where you could submit a piccie to be given the Stan Smith treatment! I went with the now fabled (ha, ha!) photo of Lil Babba Dinky Moi, and I must say I was rather pleased with the result! Being immortalised by one of my favourite brands, nice one!

This here Mega Timelord can now tick off having lived through a full quarter of a century in not one but two millennia! Ageing is absolutely a gift, and I am so thankful to be here to celebrate another New Year's Day! I hope you all have a wondrous 2026 that is filled with love, peace and harmony! ❤️

I love it when old photos surface! This is from a family christening in 1994, 31 years ago already! From left to right you have Yours Truly, my little sister Sharon, my nephew Tashan in front of her, my big sister Gloria holding my niece Shinelle and my big brother Johnson! Check out the clobber! ❤️

#nowpkaying Shirley Basset "Kiss Me Honey Honey (Kiss Me)"

It's a miracle! The spirit of the season has finally entered the stone cold heart of this here Grinch! Lil Babba Dinky Moi would like to wish one and all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! Hope you have a good one, when it comes! #BlessedArtThou 😊❤️🎄🎁☃️❄️

The Daddy, who just happens to be my Pops! Happy 85th Birthday to my Dear Old Da! He's an Uber Timelord, as he's been around for aeons! It was so lovely to see him last weekend, and I really hope he enjoys the bottle of whisky I gifted him! That man sure knows how to party, he'll have an ace day! 🩷🎉

My, my, my! What a delight it was to feast my mince pies on this most wondrous of images yesterday! Two Warriors of Rage brought together in mighty union! #FlavorFav of #PublicEnemy and #Morrissey! Yeah, Bwoy! Bring Tha Noise, let's have some joint dates announced soon pretty please! Make it so! 👊🏾

Happy 26th Anniversary to my Hootie Tootie Disco Cutie! Yes, The Almighty Spacelord of Ashton-under-Lyne and The Hip Priestess of Huddersfield Town, aka Jay and I, got together on this day way back in 1999! We've had so many ace adventures since! Love you! 😊❤️ XX

When you're a Timelord like me, the passing of 3 decades seems like mere minutes! On this very day in 1995, which was 30 YEARS ago now, Angela J Lewis BA (Hons) graduated from university! Gotta say, I did NOT see this coming when I escaped the sheer hell that was school! Still in shock to be honest!

On this day back in 2023, having arrived in Grenada a couple of days prior, two of my siblings and I were waiting at the harbour to catch our ferry over to the beautiful sister island of Carriacou to see our Da! The view as you can see is utterly stunning! It was scorchio mind you! Hot, hot, HOT! 🇬🇩☀️

On this day in 1991 which is now 34 YEARS ago, little 19 year old me was in that there London Town to catch the #Morrissey gig at what was then the Hammersmith Odeon! It is still THE best gig I have ever been to in my entire life and has never been beaten! It was the most amazing, epic of nights! ❤️🙏🏾

So it's #BlackHistoryMonth 2025 in the UK, and in these trying times particularly I would like to once again thank my parents for bravely making the life-changing epic voyage from the tiny island of Carriacou in the Caribbean to start a new life in England. I'm here because of them! #Windrush ❤️💛💚🇬🇩🙏🏾

I had a lovely trip to Belgium this past weekend just gone! My little sister and I were able to fit in both Brussels and Bruges which was ace! Here I am in the latter, striking my usual pose outside one of the many beautiful buildings we came across on our travels. What a fabulous country it is! ❤️🇧🇪

#nowplaying Hank Mizell "Jungle Rock"

#nowplaying Ashe Bhosle & Mahendra Kapoor "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Back in Nineteen Eighty Hate before I even picked up my not so great GCSE results, I'd already been written off by my school's Careers Office. It's a wonder they didn't send me down t'pits and have done with it! But, hard work and perseverance paid off, and in 1995 I graduated! It CAN be done, kids!

#nowplaying Stephanie Grappelli "It Don't Mean A Thing (If it ain't got that swing)" The show is scheduled to go on Mixcloud at noon. Thanks for listening as always! Tara! J&A xx

Join Jase & birthday Queen @adidasangie72.bsky.social at 11am to hear a selection of tunes liberated from a variety of charity shops on the Fylde coast last weekend, plus a chat with Karl from the Ditchburn Jukebox museum. Happy music on @allfm.bsky.social on 96.9fm or allfm.org

The Almighty Spacelord of Ashton-under-Lyne and The Hip Priestess of Huddersfield Town! We are Timelords! We're both half a century plus old, we've existed in more than 5 decades, we've seen in at least 5 decades, and we've existed in two centuries as well as two millennia! We are so HERE for it! ❤️

#Nowplaying David Bowie "Drive In Saturday" Thank you for your company. Let yourself be beautiful and cherish the joy where you can. Love, as always, Jase & the CCS team x

#nowplaying The Specials "Friday Night Saturday Morning"

#nowplaying The Fall "Gramme Friday"

#nowplaying David Axelrod "Holy Thursday" 😍

I'm going to #DeightonCarnival later in the mighty, the wondrous Huddersfield, so I thought it was apt that I rep my heritage! #Grenada isn't just on my rather fabulous tee, it's also in my blood and I love that! I'm so very grateful that I was able to visit The Spice Isle a couple of years ago! 🇬🇩

The Daddy! Mine, to be precise! Yes, I caught up with my beloved Pater yesterday over in The Hudd, and dropped off his card and bottle of Mount Gay rum! So then, Happy Father's Day to you! 84 and still going strong, the man is an absolute force of nature! This dude is one tough cookie, for sure! 😊❤️

Photo by Jay, of me and His Very Mozzerness hanging out in the MCR! A mere 4 days to go now until the big night at the Co-op Live! Sure it will be a right blast, it's been a good while since the last time we went to a proper gig of any kind! We'll see all you Sweet and Tender Hooligans down there! ❤️

Spotted in the wild during my travels in the MCR t'other day! Just over a week now until The Almighty Spacelord of Ashton-under-Lyne and The Hip Priestess of Huddersfield Town go to see The Sacred Son of St Retford! Come along now Co-op Live, hurry up with our damned e-tickets already! Let's go! 😊

A Very (Un)Happy 66th Birthday to my favourite errant pop star, born on 22nd May 1959! Hope you have the very best of days, #Morrissey! 😊❤️🍾🎉

#WeStandTogether #MCR22 22nd May 2017 🖤🙏🏾

Please, keep him in mind. May you continue to forever Rest In Power. #AndyRourke 🖤🙏🏾

#nowplaying Prestwich Borough Council "Free Range"

#nowplaying Johnny Maudlin & The Corduroy Kings "William It Were Nowt, Lovey"

I'm most fortunate to be a Triple Mega Timelord of the Modern Age! How so? Well: 1) I've existed in 5 Decades or more (70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s)! 2) I've seen in 5 Decades or more (80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s)! 3) I've picked up my Half Century Club Membership Card, and am now 50 plus! ❤️🙏🏾

The day after its release, on this date back in 2020 I was waiting at home most impatiently for my copies of I Am Not A Dog On A Chain by #Morrissey to arrive in the mail! During those mad, bad, and indeed, sad times, this mighty, this wondrous album was a beacon of light and hope for many of us! ❤️
