I'm writing a new series about discovering a load of old family photos and trying to piece together who they all are. #genealogy #familytree #localhistory #halifax reubenp77.substack.com/p/new-series...

#newmusic Art School Girlfriend album is streaming today... Haute & Freddy album out Friday... Sounds good, let's hope they live up to my expectations.

Thinking of booking a nice break away in a remote cottage, but not feeling confident about these Airbnb hosts...

Clicked an old bookmark shortcut to Pinterest by mistake and the top 4 images on the screen are a nice insight into my world... shame about the AI one.

I've been spending time getting to know this lady recently. An unknown face in a photo collection has sent me on an investigative journey around 1890s / 1900s Halifax. I'll be writing about her story among others in a new series called 'Accidental Ancestors'. #genealogy #familyhistory #IWD2026

#ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge Top 10 Something Else by - The Kinks (1967) 4. Situation Vacant The album's strength is the storytelling and this song is no exception but the groove and that 60s organ sound make this a favourite. youtu.be/YwBa2ILakQE?...

@stereoscopyblog.bsky.social Having read the article by Denis Pellerin about John Hill, I found the below CDV by him which may be of interest? Looks like 4 generations, possibly the Bedford family, Halifax. Original back has faded so included an edited version. stereoscopy.blog/2022/12/13/j...

No, we don't need a photo of the artist on this German CD reissue of her debut album. Let's just 'describe' the original cover into ChatGPT Is this the future of album reissues?

Not sure about Waterstones selling vinyl...

Erasure have always been a singles band for me. Several amazing singles but I've never felt they did a great album. Admittedly I have only heard the few that covered the Pop 20 period, so I'm spending time today to see if I was/am wrong. #nowplaying Starting with Wild!

#Top30FirstAlbumFirstTrack I had Autobahn listed as my number 2 but find today that this was Kraftwerk's 4th album! (amateur) As I had a similar brainmelt with The Cure albums, I'll pick this one which I'd forgotten, although it's more Top 10 for me than Top 2 😔 youtu.be/okiCApJeonQ?...
