I'm showing off my recent rummaged finds this #cassunday. I am REALLY looking forward to unearthing their magnetic secrets... 30 minutes about whales? A local radio station tape. A Memorex bought for the case - I haven't seen one of those in decades. A 60 minute chrome with hand drawn squiggles.

On Sunday, we're celebrating 15 years of our blog, and today we have birthday parties in Bratislava and London to celebrate together! As a thank-you for all your support, enjoy our birthday discount code: “15years” for anything in our Bandcamp store.

This less coffee resolution... there's still a cup in the pot... mañana, mañana... 👀

It contains nothing but the whole truth so help me John Peel.

How's 2026 treating you so far? Any regrets yet? 🤣 I've found two great Bandcamp tapes to buy (Irish classical harp and Swiss new wave), sat on a beach, had a good rummage at a fantastic vintage store in Murcia, met an emu, decided to order some chinos, tried to drink less coffee 🎧⛱️🛍️🪶👖☕

Well that's a good start to the nature year. I came across this, which I believe is a Praying Mantis egg sack full of nymphs patiently waiting for spring.

The first cuppa of 2026 - start as one means to go on. Happy New Year lovely people - may 2026 bring you contentment, peace and oodles of fantastic new music.

It's been a great day today. I walked on a sunny Spanish beach listening to @tabsout.bsky.social and drank some coffee 😌 Embrace the good stuff xx

Today's news - bought a hat.

I was genuinely thrilled last night to see that nice man with the cherry picker has fixed the Christmas lights 🥳

Stood next to Billy Connolly waiting for a pelican crossing. Stood next to Michael Parkinson at the urinals. Saw Hank Marvin walk past the window holding his red strat. Saw Simon Le Bon walk down a spiral staircase. Stood behind Blackadder's Bob on an escalator.

Floods to drive through today in Spain. As they say though, nice weather for Flamingoes.

Sheesh - this just ripped up the harbour and into the town 😳

I'm not a weather expert, but storm clouds with pointy down bits are not a plus are they 🤔

And I'm reading "High Bias" by Marc Masters this #cassunday - bloody good it is too!

My birthstone is γ-Fe₂O₃

5 minutes to go. If you’re just noodling about on the internet why not tune in to untidyradio.com #music #musicsky

I stand on the balcony on the frontline of war. To the left, dawn is pushing hard, to the right the darkest of blue skies retaliates with spears of electricity. All the while the ocean bellows below in frustration and the ghostly gulls swoop in a desperate panic for peace. Quite a morning - tea?

Make a bond movie casual... From Rusholme With Love

Another thumbs up review... share.google/M6dSfO03HUTP...

I bet you never knew Yahtzee could be this cool!

Mince pie, feet up, TV on...

It's the eve of the thing! Muddy Christmas bsky xx

RAAAWWRRRR!!!

The last #Cassunday before xmas so here are 20 of my favourite tapes released this year... All can be found on bandcamp. Thanks to all involved 🙏 #TwentyTopTapes #AOTY25 #2025Tapes

I picked up a couple of tapes from a fabulous record shop in Alicante. They are both from a Valencian punk label. As the nice lady in the shop wrapped them, I am saving them for Christmas day - no #cassunday peaking 🎅

My favourite photo of the day - a ceramic by Germans de Fang.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is gonna go… (Seems about right)

"I don't care what anyone says, I like that movie..."

Hola Valencia

Oh no 😢 www.notreble.com/buzz/2025/12...

Manchester flight cancelled due to asininity so fled to Liverpool. Best taxi driver ever ☕☕☕☕☕

Walking into 2026...

This contact sheet just popped into Twin Hazey's (my old band) inbox. Three handsome devils - what a blast from the past 🥰

This is not a pocket calculator youtu.be/fiiiremKLtU

He likes it - apparently, it sounds excellent. Damn! That means I'll have to buy one 🥰 Seriously... Well done We Are Rewind! 👏👏👏

This #cassunday, I'm packing for a Christmas break in Spain 😍 I'll kick off with this - picked up new from a record shop for £2 (why DO you collect tapes Mike? 🤣)

This looks pretty sweet bsky musos... mentha.works?v=7885444af42e

More cassette news that will be of little interest to most of you 😜 www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/new...

I have some special treats for the Fluke heads on Saturday afternoon! When I asked the lovely human that is Jon Fugler for a remix I couldn't get my hands on, not only did he give me the goods, but also a 2025 rework of a classic. Now, let's get it right......... #TSH www.lovewillsavetheday.fm
