I ‘may’* go and see Mothers Pride tomorrow, so you don’t have to. [*may]

Very highly regarded album recorded during a stint at Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens Concert Hall. Seemingly effortless vocals on a set that offers no surprises, backed sympathetically by the Kirk Stuart Trio. Sarah Vaughan - Sassy Swings The Tivoli (Mercury, 1963 UK mono) #Jazz #Vinyl

Another from the cleany pile, this a cobbled together compilation from previous releases by the budget Crown label. Reasonable live recordings of a pretty stellar band by all accounts. I doubt any musicians were paid for these. Stan Getz - Groovin’ With Getz (United Records, 1969?) #Jazz #Vinyl

Leicester Station, recently… #ClassicMono

‘Omeward Bound…

Had a micro-panic whilst scrolling the ‘Discover’ channel, so many posts about clocks going forward now 😳 Don’t trust anything you read on ‘Discover’…

Yesterday’s Thai Prawns put me in mind of a Thai…

You wait and you wait for a classic Indian Guitar Legend to come along, then two come along almost at once! Cover looks a bit tatty, vinyl looks like it’s never been played 😳 Van Shipley – Reflections (Van Shipley Presents On His Golden Guitar, Raj Kapoor's Greatest Hits) (Odeon, 1975) #Vinyl 🇮🇳

I wouldn’t usually, but the Vanilla is pretty restrained in this Black Iris Madagascan Porter. #StootOClock #Pubs #Beer

Yoiks! Poor auld Swany. Submitted on the Gov website.

Fun in the mud… #PublicArt

When I was young I assumed everyone was watching Carl Sagan and David Attenborough, and, err… Bill Oddie. That it would affect all of us in the same positive, progressive, empathic way. I now realise it was just a handful of us, everyone else was watching CHiPs and the Dukes of Hazard 😕

Morning! Taking Baldy & FED out for a walk, hence the ridiculously early start. #FilmPhotography

Freshly washed and dried, this is a truly great album from Stan Getz, accompanied by a quartet of the toppest jazzers of the time. A suitably cool David Stone Martin cover for this 1955 Verve release too. Stan Getz - West Coast Jazz (Verve, 1981 reissue W. Germany) #Jazz #Vinyl

Home Alone weekends present the opportunity to play noisier records than usual, and much spicier Sunday Dinners than acceptable. This Thai Prawn Curry is probably the best i’ve made, but blimmin’ spicy 🌶️ 😳 🥵

Jobs done, catching up with the Tigers in their cup match… #Cider #Rugby

Washing on the line, good drying day…

Having a Vinyl Cleaning Party, if you’re passing…

Not many surviving Ghost Signs around Highfields in Leicester, this one on Chandos Street survives though… #GhostSign

The Home Alone ‘Lincolnshire Brunchette’. Advance straight to Tea…

May the joys of today Be those of tomorrow. The goblets of life Hold no dregs of sorrow.

Home alone day is also noisy albums day. Hole - Celebrity Skin (Geffen, 1998) #VintageCD

Saint Marcus, on now! 🙏

This. Is. Shit!

Hands up who’s finding the Italy/England match a thrill-fest… …anyone?

Good job Scotland kept playing and scoring when well ahead, trying to close the match out like in the old days could have cost them that match. Such a dangerous team with ball in hand, probably the second best team in the 6 Nations currently.

Game On! C’mon Scotland…

Harlequin by Ralph Thurston, Market Harborough Theatre. Does anyone remember the blue tube lights behind this sculpture being on? #SculptureSaturday

Fosse Meadows Higher Welfare Cockerel, and intensively reared Mushroom Pies for tea tonight.

There’s nothing serious or uplifting about someone deciding the movement they thought would benefit them, and fuck everyone else, is now not worth supporting because it isn’t benefitting them. They’re still the same self-interested arseholes.

Not nearly enough Des de Moor’s these days, I only really knew of him as a beer writer, but he was so much more…

Standing room only in the Beerhouse again. If they push the bar counter back a couple of feet there’d be room for another row of tables… I told them 😬

Working my way through the rarely heard Hillage albums. Live Herald is going, too much twiddly guitaring and Hurdy Gurdy Man 😖. And Not Or is proto-System 7 so quite good really. Rainbow Dome Musick and Fish Rising are keepers obvs’, the rest looking very shakey… #ProgSky

Remember a time when Muslims stood up and plainly stated that ISIS did not represent the teachings of Muhammad, and do not represent the Muslim faith. Well, perhaps now would be a very good time for non-fundamentalist Christians to do the same…
