We're back on @allfm.bsky.social just after 11am tomorrow with @simongmusic.bsky.social returning to share a stack of chazza 45s he's picked up over the course of 2025. It's no less than you deserve. Join us!

Back at the mic and prepping for a turn on @charityclassics.bsky.social this weekend 🤔😬🙉

1972 BBC Records inner sleeve.

I’m looking forward to spinning a few tunes ahead of @bobfischer.bsky.social’s Haunted Generation show at Glossop Labour Club this Saturday. Expect a mish mash of tv themes, school choirs, brass bands and questionable covers. Business as usual! Tickets here www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/bob-fische...

Monday chazza rummage.

Good people of Glossop! I am bringing The Haunted Generation show to your Labour Club on Saturday 25th October...

As spotted on the A57 near the Manchester Apollo last night.

Do you any of you lovely folk have a copy of this to hand and would be able to look up something for me? Ta!

Chasing away the storm clouds.

A great listen. And a companion piece to Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners.

Excellent way to spend an hour today... Great to hear from former Dexys members @kevadams.bsky.social and @oharaviolin.bsky.social about the making of the album alongside some journalistic insight. Perfectly hosted by @simongmusic.bsky.social & @wholehogg.bsky.social 🙏x bsky.app/profile/gidd...

As heard on Radio Caroline, on this day in 1967. From an incredible reel to reel bought by the wonderful @simongmusic.bsky.social

Well this is excellent news! A date for yer diary.

Fresh back from attending my first car boot sale in about 10 years. One chap selling records all discounted by about 60%. Total spend £20. Pick of the bunch is Merry Mountain Child, an album by an 80 year old Yorkshire sheep farmer. The Donald Byrd ain’t too shabby either! Can’t pass up a Blue Note!

DO THE BLUE RIBAND BLUES #totp

This Wavelength song is tedious shite #totp

Is 1982 when socks first went out of fashion? #totp

The guy on the left looks like he’s only done this routine once. Clunky transitions between moves #totp

This Boystown Gang performance is astonishing #totp

Which one is Bob Holness’s daughter? #totp

Toto Coelo rocking aerobics chic #totp

1/ Earlier this year I excavated my (long forgotten) collection of music papers from my folks' loft, which I've now added to the stuff I knew I had and have sorted into piles according to title and year. SEND HELP! Let's start with late 80s MM, NME and Sounds and the issues sitting atop the piles 🧵

Happy 40th birthday NOW5! 🎉 Classic compilation from the summer of 1985 and featured on the Back to Now podcast with Giddy Pop’s very own @simongmusic.bsky.social! Listen to the poptastic episode and the full album playlist here! linktr.ee/poprambler

The Matrix before The Matrix? #totp

You can only pick one. Which one?

I’ve worked with Will Mellor and he seemed like a nice chap, but this is fucking unforgivable #totp

This is worse than Babylon Zoo #totp

What is it with all the Middlemass head movements?! #totp

My dad always used to go misty eyed whenever Shania came on tv #totp

Ah. Another Level. NEXT PLEASE #totp

Who’s this? Looks like a bunch of Abbey National clerks ‘having a go’ #totp

So many dancers on stage in this era of TOTP. Where are they all now?! You just don’t see much of that thing anymore #totp

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT EMITT RHODES?!

Amongst my booty for the record fair tomorrow is a stash of classic cassettes. £3 each or two for a fiver!

I'm out and about again tomorrow, peddling my vinyl wares in the charming surroundings of Saltaire. It'll be good to meet up with my Yorkshire compadres from @therecordclub.bsky.social too! If you fancy a nice day out, pop over, buy some records and take in all that Saltaire has to offer!

Quote with a pic of you in the 80s (I’ve corrected the grammar).

#LiveAid 🧵 1/8 I think it's fair to say Live Aid made quite an impression on me. We didn't have a video recorder at the time (that came later in 1985), so I decided I was going to tape highlights from the radio broadcast...

This morning!

A timely reshare of this episode of @giddypoppod.bsky.social which @wholehogg.bsky.social and I did to celebrate Live Aid's 35th anniversary. Now updated for the 40th anniversary with memories from Marco Pirroni on Adam Ant's blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance on the stage at Wembley. Enjoy!
