#np Confetti Day is a banger.

Tonights listening. Herbie up first.

@shitchester.bsky.social Re: Chester Greenbelt This has just come to my attention but needs immediate response as deadline is tonight Thurs 29th.

We will not tolerate aggressive, abusive or threatening behaviour… From the new Private Eye, out now.

I had a much appreciated visit from @jacklondonexile.bsky.social at the weekend, a fantastic afternoon crate digging in Chester followed by pizza and beers and more music into the small hours, I’m still recovering 😂

Miss You

#np I was going for Traffic then decided on this. Mind you, over half the tracks are co-written with Capaldi and Rebop appears on few.

Owls don't look for a mate when it's raining because it's too wet to woo.

Got any Spandau? 😳🫣

#np Sunday afternoon Joni

Food processors are great!

Let’s see how well this one ages.

Wayne Shorter - Adam’s Apple I just learnt Wayne played sax on Steely Dan’s title track Aja.

"It started as a shit idea" to strengthen the local community. This is "cowpat lotto", as invented and played in northern France, near Azincourt (*the* Azincourt) where three lucky winners share the loot if their cow (goats also accepted) drop their load on their selected square.

Might just listen to The Beach Boys all day.

New arrival, thanks to @jacklondonexile.bsky.social for introducing me to The Delines and last year they only came and played at the church up the road from me.

Bereavement is well shit. I feel like I’m back to where I was 5 mths ago, lethargic, unable to concentrate and listening to Music for Airports.

More jazz please 🎷

Sunday, glass of red and Herbie whilst watching the rain 🌧️

What a classic!

I think this might be the only new vinyl release I’ve bought this year so far 😳

Andy Partridge - Fuzzy Warbles This is an incredible catalogue of work, some excellent songs that never made it on to an XTC album as well as some demos of songs that did. Considering it’s Andy virtually alone the production is amazing. There’s about 150 tracks here some quite humorous 🙂

The Replacements- Tim

Just watching Turnstile at Glastonbury. I’d never heard of them but they’re phenomenal.

Car tunes #jazz

- Someone keeps phoning up pretending to be my grandmother. It's a prank, I don't know what else to call it. - Shenanigan? - Don't you start.

I went through a phase of playing Medellin everyday for about a month.

- I love the papal headquarters. - You can say 'Vatican'. - OK. I love the papal headquarters.

Mingus Ah Um

Been in to Liverpool today, picked up some Jazz at Rough Trade.

Calming the nerves, some prematch tunes with this colossus.

I can’t stop listening to this version of Careless Whisper. open.spotify.com/track/4xmkuz...

#np smooth tunes

You Never Knew Me. Beautiful.

Bit of Bill. Might go down a Be Bop rabbit hole.

This is a lovely record with an incredible backstory. The Blackbyrds.

Time to open up this bad boy. #beachboys

Nice find, great album and it’s mint so happy with a fiver 😁

❤️

Which calendar era did Michael Jackson most like to sing about? A)BC B)AD

#np Baleric Discorock from Paqua

I never knew that Jigsaw's bubblegum great Sky High was originally recorded for The Man from Hong Kong, a 1975 martial arts action movie starring George Lazenby. That explains the rather dramatic intro that doesn't really match what follows. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjtD...

Post-work relaxation.

Jazz essential. #jazz

Me aged 15. Great t-shirt, lousy haircut.

Charles Watson - Now That I’m A River. A beautiful record that i only took notice of due to the cover resembling the first Peter Gabriel album. Charles says it was a coincidence. Yeah right.

I’m not over familiar with this one apart from the singles, sounding good though.

What a bonkers album, love it!
