Charlie don't surf! RIP Robert Duvall

Celebrating the legacy of Richie Blackmore's Rainbow with a listen of their highest charting studio album, Difficult to Cure. The first with latest vocalist Joe Lynn Turner and drummer Bobby Rondinelli, an increasingly commercial path paid off. #Vinyl #VinylSky #VinylCommunity #Rainbow #Rock

St Valentines day power cut, so no steak tonight it's KFC and prosecco... ❤️

Also happy Valentines day to all the #trumpists and #reformists out there. May your genitals shrivel with the lack of use they so richly deserve.

Happy Valentines Day! ❤️ Today will mostly be spent blinking in the unaccustomed sunlight ☀️

The problem with being old enough to have seen the songs on #totp 70's program first time around is that I'm also old enough to fall asleep through it...

So this arrived from the States today... a wondrous slab of space rock/drone... Gnod - Drop Out with White Hills III. Accompanied by, as I'm a beer snob, St Bernadus Abt 12 #VinylCommunity #VinylSky #NowPlaying #Gnod #SpaceRock #Drone #IndieBeer

For Henry Rollins, music is the antidote to the "tough haul" of human existence. Today, the punk icon turns 65.

So #VinylCommunity I have an old copy of #ThinLizzy 's Whisky In the Jar. It's not worth anything and it also doesn't have its original sleeve. I've found a replacement sleeve on ebay for a couple of quid. Would you replace it or not worry?

Put YouTube on to play music randomly and it's chucking out the songs I was listening to 8, 10 years ago. The algorithm doesn't forget.

Hello weekend! Felt the urge to listen to some #Blondie this evening, starting with their 4th album Eat To The Beat. I think this album cemented their transition from punk to pop but also showed they could master a whole range of music. Released 1979 on Chrysalis #NowPlaying #MusicSky #VinylSky

For a soggy Sunday afternoon, I'm enjoying Hozier's self-titled 2014 album. His clear voice is lifting the spirits for sure. Take Me To Church? Not today, I'll just listen... #NowPlaying #VinylSky #musicsky #VinylCommunity #Hozier

THREAD/Today marks the 85th anniversary of one of the more notorious incidents from the London Blitz, which sadly was an exception to the usual rule that Underground stations were safe and secure places to sit (or sleep) through an air raid. on 11 January 1941, the alert had recently sounded and...

Sunday vibes from Fred Again and his Actual Life 3 album, which won best Electronic/Dance album at the 2022 Grammy awards. New to me, and my son assures me this is a good entry point to the genre... #NowPlaying #VinylSky #musicsky #electronica #dance #FredAgain

#NowPlaying and #NowStreaming because I can't afford the average £400 for the boxset according to @discogsofficial.bsky.social some of the Disintegration Loops by William Basinsky. Fascinating #Ambient music. The Disintegration of physical music media mirrored by the impermanence of human life

Today's office dog is begging for food... #dogsofbluesky

Happy to report that I successfully patronised my local auction house today, and managed to smuggle it all back without being discovered...

SOMEONE TAKE THE CHEESE AWAY

Is it too early for a Christmas cocktail? Bottoms up and merry Christmas! 🍸🎄

Two very different listens tonight... the mighty #BlackSabbath with their very last album 13 ❤️ (very special) and the sublime #EthelCain 2025 release Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. I'm probably not Ms Cain's normal listening demographic but omg I love her work. #vinylsky #musicsky

I passed my driving test in one of these, in 1984. Definitely showing my age there 😭🚗

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

St Bernadus... 10% loveliness #beer #beersky

Remembering all who have served and all who have fallen, who lie in home soil or in distant lands, or whose only grave is the sea. Remembering all who returned wounded in body or mind. Remembering all who grieve. #Remembrance

Today's #SpaceRockSunday (well here anyway). Hawkwind and Doremi Fasol Latido. Their 3rd album, recorded, as so many iconic albums were, at Rockfield Studios and released in November 1972. It's still quite capable of whisking you away... #Hawkwind #Vinyl #VinylSky #ClassicRock #VinylCommunity

Well, it's Jim Steinman's birthday today, so... #NowPlaying #Meatloaf #BatOutOfHell #JimSteinman #VinylSky #VinylCommunity

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This was a delightful setting for a book fair today, Dorset County Museum in Dorchester #books #bookfair #booksky #Dorset

Some late night Patti Smith... ❤️ youtu.be/c_BcivBprM0?...

Today's #vintage #paperback finds: another Chris Foss-illustrated cover for AE van Vogt's Moonbeast (1975) and Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut. A very early 1972 copy.

*Public Service Announcement* This deodorant will get the police called to you at Stuttgart Airport. Tbh I thought it was quite a nice deodorant and not worthy of police intervention.

Well I'm on the list for a transplant. Kind of weird waiting for someone to die to save my sight. Something difficult to comprehend, I'll be so incredibly grateful. Also kinda weird having a part of someone else in me...

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract. The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Hurrah! Eurotrash is back!

I went on this boat while she was being fitted out at Barrow before handover. Had a nice tour with an ex RN dusty. Now feeling very old...

While I'm on the subject of #theDamned here's Dave Vanian looking beautiful with one of the best riffs ever... #NewRose youtu.be/TUxFQ5QBiYk?...

We've had a very nice young lady join us at work. Her name is Eloise, and now each time she comes over to chat, this is going round in my head... #theDamned youtu.be/b31L4P7G5j8?...

Just home from the gym. Late night/long day, I guess, but if it wasn't for that place I'd be climbing the bloody walls. Space and time to decompress as well as essential for fitness at my age. #over60fitness #gymsky #fitnesssky #armandcoreday

Please repost if you agree that British TV News is betraying our democracy by giving Farage what looks like more coverage than all the other opposition parties combined.

Time for a boogie? It's #StatusQuoSunday here... Hello! - Released September 1973 on Vertigo #Vinyl #VinylSky #VinylCommunity #MusicSky #StatusQuo #Boogie

Yesterday's happy charity shop find was this lovely boxset of James Herbert novels. His books always gave me a scare! I read The Spear and The Fog in my teens but not the others... #horror #JamesHerbert

A late good morning! #NowPlaying Amorphis - Silent Waters. Finnish progressive metal, their 8th studio album released in 2007. Another record not played in too long a time, i need more of this. #VinylSky #Vinyl #VinylCommunity #Metal #MetalSky #ProgressiveMetal #Amorphis

My son has been home for just over a week. Today he goes back to Cardiff and I am very sad.

Today's 2 #sci-fi charity shop finds, Zelazny's four novellas in Four for Tomorrow from 1967 and a lovely copy of Smith's The Galaxy Primes of 1975. Another #ChrisFoss cover there... #sciencefiction #60ssciencefiction #70ssciencefiction
