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

#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

#Nowplaying Late 60’s #rollingstones #beggarsbanquet coming towards the end of what I consider the golden period

#Nowplaying forgotten how absolutely brilliant the #switchedon series by @stereolabgroop.bsky.social is/was

#Nowplaying one of the 60’s best #rollingstones albums #aftermath featuring the ahead of its time #goinghome genius

#Nowplaying big fave from the last few months #alliance by #glok #timothyclerkin @andybebop.bsky.social @ridethenetwork.bsky.social

45 YEARS AGO - On this day in 1980, a new entry at No.23 was... Breaking The Law by Judas Priest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=L397... #80sMusic #Eighties

More is a surprisingly thoughtful and often breathtaking coda to Pulp’s wonderful career.

Bought OTD in 1970: some fabulous songs here - These Days, I’ll Keep It With Mine, The Fairest of the Seasons - topped by two amazing VU supplements: Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams ( aka Can’t Get Used To losing You) and the full blown freak out - It Was A Pleasure Then

Unmissable! However many times you've seen it 🌟⚡🎶

Blimey! x @grantmcphee.bsky.social @benthelobby.bsky.social www.livpost.co.uk/the-pool-of-...
