RIP wonderful Diane Keaton 🤍🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

RIP Sue Lucas aka #soocatwoman

This is such a fabulous festival of film but its so annoying that so many music docs are unavailable to see after an intitial screening. Still trying to find a way to watch films about Adrian Borland & Rema Rema for instance

I was, as always, at @rnrbook-club.bsky.social last night and met Kev, which I am most happy about. Fabulous night promoting Kevs book #blessmefather chaired by @tedkessler.bsky.social and dj’d by @monkeypicks.bsky.social well done all #dexys

Two months to go. Most tickets gone. 🎟️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/acrnyc-198...

Oh wow faroutmagazine.co.uk/new-david-bo...

#weekendsingles selection of 7’s that came free with various LPs

Seen a few mentions of Adrian Borland and The Sound on here over the past few days. I took these photos of them at Birmingham Polytechnic in November 1982

#Nowplaying todays #Bowie LP, #Low his best album ever in my opinion, at least since I played ‘Heroes’ yesterday, its such a hard one to call @davidbowiereal.bsky.social

#Nowplaying Today is a good day for an outing for Bowie’s greatest album? #Heroes #musicsky @davidbowiereal.bsky.social @davidbowienews.bsky.social

#Nowplaying after felt released their critical pinnacle album #poemoftheriver in 1987, what would you expect Lawrence to do? more of the same style indie? nope, we get #trainabovethecity, an LP of organ based jazz instrumentals Must have driven Alan McGee spare @creationrecords.bsky.social

Posting some Sunday #weekendsingles of the #oasis variety - some very early 7’s bought at time of release 30 years ago! including an autograph I forgot I had tucked away inside Whatever from Guigsy obtained at Supernova Heights around this time.. also some #noelgallagher 7’s

#Nowplaying not many records from the last few decades can be described as a lost classic as much as #worldoftwist #qualitystreet can - please seek out to Gordon Kings’ memoir #whendoesthemindbendingstart for more info

#Nowplaying @theloftuk.bsky.social #everythingchangeseverythingstaysthesame and I would go as far as to say this is my favourite album this year 🏆👌🏻

#Nowplaying the genius #dung4 demo tape rereleased on @recordstoreday.bsky.social by @inspiralcarpets.bsky.social - taking me back to 1987, all bowl cuts and flairs, those were the days, miss you gilly x

#Nowplaying after @theloftuk.bsky.social came #theweatherprophets and here’s my favourite LP with the ‘hits’ on #mayflower @peteastor.bsky.social

#Nowplaying once upon a time, for me, the greatest album ever #thejesusandmarychain #psychocandy

#Nowplaying my favourite #felt LP #poemoftheriver with inner bag signed some years ago by Lawrence, Gary Ainge and Martin Duffy #denim @creationrecords.bsky.social

#Nowplaying efffectively a sister piece to #Modernismanewdecade the #deeclee fronted Slam Slam is a late period Style Council album in all but name. Early 90’s House beats and @paulwellernews.bsky.social all over it @mrcoolsdream.bsky.social

#Nowplaying well its the only @theclash.com album I’ve never heard and spotting this reissue I had to get it … and yes its terrible! how do great bands end up in these situations? #cutthecrap #itscrap

Just finished this… 🍿🎬📽️ An interesting & at times shocking film. Thanks to @andypidge.bsky.social for originally posting the link & @jm60.bsky.social for retweeting it 🙏 If you fancy a gander, you can find it streaming for free here - fawesome.tv/movies/10682... Anarchy & peace ☮️

just the one single this week from me for #weekendsingles but so pleased to pick up this near perfect copy of #michealheadandthestrands #somethinglikeyou its all thats needed - been sorting out some more for the next few weeks 👍🏻 #palefountains #shack

#Nowplaying long out of print electronic genius by #cabaretvoltaire #thevoiceofamerica #musicsky

The Gospel according to Shaun..wise words! Happy Friday 🙌

Cant help but think someone at @netflix.com saw what was going on over at #appletv with Slow Horses and made a mirror image show - character based, rogue investigator, strong difficult female boss etc. etc, … but upped the ante, pure class from start to finish #dept.q

Following on from yesterday’s #Crass documentary post, places of interest to visit if in the area, the site of #SouthernStudios in Palmers Green, where Crass recorded their whole output, and #DialHouse in Epping, which is still Crass central to this day

Tip of the day - yesterday watched Crass- The Sound Of Free Speech, last years documentary, free currently to stream on @fawesometv.bsky.social well worth a look

Happy 60th Anniversary to The Byrds’ debut album ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ originally released June 21, 1965 | Listen to the album here: album.ink/TheByrdsMTM

There is some exciting @stevequeralt.bsky.social activity taking place today. From 2pm he will be joining me for a two-hour live show on Soho Radio where we will have a chat and play songs from his debut solo album ‘Swallow’ and also the music that inspired it.

#Nowplaying picked up the 9-disc #facesatthebbc set and it rocks, as balding mid 50s/60s old fellas are prone to say

RIP Brian, bona fide genius
