335/365 The Bob Crewe Generation - You Only Live Twice I had no idea this existed until a week ago. Neat easy listening cover of one of the best Bond songs. Charity shop 45 #45RevolutionsResolution

This was on Talking Pictures the other night. It is such a deeply weird movie. Unrelated: I'm now referring to myself as a Fancy Lad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmBq...

334/365 Tom Scott - Gotcha (Theme from Starsky & Hutch) Very good music for throwing bad guys over a car bonnet while you wear super funky knitwear. Charity shop 45 #45RevolutionsResolution

Friends fear he has become obsessed with Mesopotamia by the B-52's www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq6I...

333/365 The Sugarcubes - Birthday Before the Sugarcubes, the only thing I ever got from Iceland was an Arctic Roll and some Findus crispy pancakes. A great record. Woolworths, bargain bin #45RevolutionsResolution

“It’s great, it sold, it’s the bloody White Album, shut up”

Wait. What? Delta - Slippin' Out is being released on vinyl. With bonus tracks?! TODAY?! Thanks for telling me, guys. www.resident-music.com/product/delt...

332/365 Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O'Mine I was today years old when I learned this is called Sweet Child 'O'Mine' and not 'Of Mine'. I'm not going to wade thru all the boxes of singles to confirm, but I'm 99% sure this is the only hair metal 45 I own. Charity shop 45. #45RevolutionsResolution

331/365 Bobby Hebb - Sunny Picked this up yesterday in my once-in-a-lifetime batch of 60s 45s. It contained an Aphrodite's Child 45 I already have, but I bought it anyway for this lovely homemade sleeve. It's absolutely delightful, yes? Charity shop 45. #45RevolutionsResolution

My wife is reading the manuscript I submitted yesterday. She has found a typo already.

Pleasing trip to the high street. Bought 50 singles. Here are some of the highlights. Especially happy to have those Love 45s, finally.

330/365 Air - Sexy Boy I was, and remain obsessed with Moon Safari, and feel like an absolute chump for not going to their show at the Albert Hall last September. Our Price customer order #45RevolutionsResolution

329/365 Happy Mondays - Step On I remember this was originally marked for release on an NME covers compilation (Ruby Trax?) until someone emerged from an e-fuelled haze and realised they had a stone-cold classic 45 on their hands. Banger. Obvs. TV & Radio Services, Horley #45RevolutionsResolution

328/365 Madonna - Into the Groove I've had the Immaculate Collection on repeat in the car since the summer. Saw her at Earl's Court around the time of her Music album and it was pop perfection. Woolworths bargain bin. #45RevolutionsResolution

28

327/365 Chas & Dave - Strummin' Aside from Chas & Dave, my old man was the only person I knew to say, Gertcha. Anyway. Chas & Dave had chops. And as everyone knows, it's them playing on Labi Siffre's I Got The... which Eminem sampled on My Name Is. Charity shop 45. #45RevolutionsResolution

326/365 The Primitives - Really Stupid A terrific band. Great 1st album, too. Record fair pick up. #45RevolutionsResolution

Hello. This is marvellous x

325/365 The Stone Roses An exceptional run of 45s. Forgive the lack of symmetry - my copy of Elephant Stone is MIA, apparently. RIP Mani. Mostly from TV & Radio Services, Horley #45RevolutionsResolution

RIP Mani. Man, what a player. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSD1...

So cold, I'm like Glenn Frey here. (The heating's on)

324/365 The White Stripes - My Doorbell I rarely go back and play the White Stripes, but whenever I do, I'm reminded what a great band they were. It's never going to happen, but I would be delighted if they announced another record. HMV, Oxford Circus #45RevolutionsResolution

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy (1985) LP Implausible as it might sound, this INCREDIBLE record is 40 years old this week. #NowPlaying

323/365 Spacemen 3 - Take Me to the Other Side Very heartening to see a big chunk of my feed this morning devoted to celebrating Pete Kember and Jason Pierce's 60th birthdays. Spacemen 3 have always been right at the heart of my love of noise. TV & Radio Services, Horley. #45RevolutionsResolution

Happy 60th birthday to Peter Kember and Jason Pierce who were both born in the same hospital on this day in 1965. Here they are together in Spacemen 3 performing Revolution youtu.be/qdQn7c62zHM

Even the murderer, the guy who ordered the journalist to be executed and dismembered with a bone saw, looks a bit embarassed for our American president.

Air - The Virgin Suicides Redux (2025) Aircheology LP I have the OG version, so I asked a pal if this was worth getting and he described it as 'beefily analogue' and I said take my money. #NowPlaying

322/365 Nick Lowe - Cruel to Be Kind A great 45. I imagine Nick Lowe to be the kind of guy who would give you a lend of his lawnmower or jet washer if he was your neighbour. Even if this isn't true, I want it to be. Car boot sale 45. #45RevolutionsResolution

Final trailer! Wake Up Dead Man is in theaters 11/26 and on Netflix 12/12. Can’t WAIT for you all to see it. #wakeupdeadman

321/365 Mike Morton Combination - Burning Bridges I bought this to tide me over until I got the Kelly's Heroes OST on LP back in the day. Note for note copy, but somehow it sounds slightly off compared to the Mike Curb Congregation version. Charity shop 45. #45RevolutionsResolution

We always say, "Alright, Columbo", when someone works something out that's really obvious. Like, it's literally right here in your settings dad. Alright, Columbo.

They could never make a movie about the Jam but I would like to pitch: cold-as-ice BBC2 drama about Weller telling Bruce and Rick he was splitting the Jam. Ken Loach to direct. Peter Capaldi to play John Weller.

This (and the rest of this thread) is a beautiful tonic.

The line about Robbie Gibb squatting on the board of the BBC "like a toad made of farts" made me roar.

320/365 Joe South and the Believers - Walk a Mile in My Shoes Somehow not a hit in the UK. Sack the pluggers! 100% righteous stuff. Charity shop 45. #45RevolutionsResolution

Don't shoot the messenger but this is their best album.

eBay is terrible these days, but I sold a minor bit of Dylan memorabilia I had in a drawer and the buyer was so happy, he sent me pics of the item framed and in situ in his "Dylan Den" and it gave me a real lift.

Steely Dan - Aja (1977) ABC Records LP I'm meant to be working - literally hours of interviews to transcribe - but a flurry of Steely Dan-related text messages from a pal means I'm now listening to this masterpiece instead. #NowPlaying

319/365 Ladytron - Blue Jeans Much underrated. Have a great weekend, y'all. HMV, Oxford Circus. #45RevolutionsResolution

Stiff competition - pun intended - but I think this might be their finest hour.

Bona fide masterpiece.

318/365 The Jesus & Mary Chain - Happy When it Rains Starting to think I have more songs about rain than sunshine in my collection. Explains a lot about my general disposition, I guess. Our Price, Crawley #45RevolutionsResolution

317/365 Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down As previously reported, my youngest has taken all my Arctic Monkeys CDs, and now he has his eyes set on the rest of the racks. Last night he asked, 'what else is indie?' and another dozen CDs disappeared. HMV Oxford Circus #45RevolutionsResolution

He's going to have to invade Greenland and Canada today and Epstein will still be the top news story.

316/365 The Icicle Works - Love is a Wonderful Colour One of those 45s - like Life in a Northern Town - that I barely hear anywhere on the radio these days, but which instantly gives me 'the feels' way more than a lot of acknowledged 80s 'classics'. H&R Cloakes, Crawley #45RevolutionsResolution

315/365 The Weather Prophets - She Comes From the Rain Appropriate for today. One of the great rain-themed tunes. In fact, the Weather Prophets have TWO of the great rain tunes - see also Why Does the Rain. Our Price, Horsham #45RevolutionsResolution

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

Just gonna leave this here. *runs away and hides forever
