Record Store Day tomorrow. I have mixed feelings tbh. It is imperative we support our physical record shops but I hate to see the scalpers raking it in on eBay. Having said that if I don’t get a copy of The Gentle Waves and the Bis 3LP tomorrow I’ll be moaning until Xmas

Written and recorded in 2006, that’s 20 years ago. How did that happen. Of all of the songs I’ve written this is one of the ones that brings me the most satisfaction. youtu.be/2m2JPN509dQ?...

Apologies but I will not recognise the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame until The Pastels have been inducted.

Had a dream last night that The Auteurs had reformed and were going on tour but without @lukehaines.bsky.social I was absolutely raging. Shouting at the wife and dog about it. I started typing out an angry letter to The Times and then my alarm went off

I’ve waited so long for this! Thank you @thelilactime.bsky.social @needlemythology.bsky.social @petepaphides.bsky.social @burningshed.com

Spending Easter Monday evening listening to his master’s voice #nowplaying

Footprints on the Moon. I‘ve loved the mighty Scottish/ Welsh arranger and composer Johnny Harris’ haunting theme for a long time. Now I‘m grateful to Martin Green for turning me onto this version by Raffaella Carra. It’s beyond beautiful, truly out of this world youtu.be/LSuTZnlp5Jo?...

If this isn’t album of the year I’ll eat my titfer

I fully endorse this message. When countless pop kids approach me and say “Hey disheveled, porky, bald man where do I start with BMX Bandits?” I generally point them here. ‘Tis a beautiful work of genius my friends ❤️

I played this to death back in the day. Daren’t play the cassette now as I’m sure it’ll snap. #manfromdelmonte

Camera Obscura will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album, "Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi", with a vinyl reissue! The LP is now available for preorder through the Merge Records store. The band has also updated their tour dates for their upcoming North American tour! lnk.to/biggestblues...

40 years ago the 14 year old me bought this from Action Records. Kickstarted a love affair with the band that continues to this day. They’ve soundtracked my life. God bless #BMXbandits
