#NowPlaying bands whose music improves dramatically by not looking at them….exhibit a………

Happy birthday @vinylcarbooty.bsky.social youtu.be/TBnGRhHiTuQ

#NowPlaying this week’s cooking soundtrack

Complete & utter genius youtu.be/9PG6sITiNEs

Well this rather lovely thing made my day. Two band members, a sympathetic journalist from the time & another fine journalist (then a fan) talk to Gavin & Simon about one of the most extraordinary records released thus far in my lifetime. God bless them all

#NowPlaying THE singer sings THE songwriter

What a pig of a day-need something to put a smile on my face #NowPlaying

#NowPlaying another favourite where Mr Thompson figures prominently

#NowPlaying where I first knowingly heard him play-first bought at the age of 17 on the recommendation of then Hi-Fi reviewer Ian Rankin #RIPDannyThompson

#NowPlaying PUNK

My introduction to the great man #NowPlaying

I don’t think there is a feeling I dislike more than waking up & agreeing with Neville & Carragher. Let us hope it passes……quickly

#NowPlaying I bought this set half price after reading Danny Kelly’s 10 out of 10 review in the NME-one of those that truly “opened the doors”.

Charity Shop find of the day-this is now the second copy of this that I own -however unlike the other ex-library copy that has a terrible sleeve I’m not sure this has ever been played

#NowPlaying one of today’s charity shop finds-one day all compilations will be as good as this

Okay, timeline cleanse. Everyone who sees this post, quote post 5 things that make you happy. 1: My dear Elizabeth 2: Tamla Motown 3: My Cats 4: Coffee & a slice of cake 5: An Arsenal win

RIP Rick Davies, whose songs will live much longer than the names of the arbiters of taste who rubbished Supertramp when they were at their most creative.

Was 14 when Dad came home with the CD of this. Boy did it open some doors. Morning all #NowPlaying

#NowPlaying back to the old faithful

If you didn’t get round to this the first time round I urge you too-a terrific album

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam

#NowPlaying completely forgot about these-rather good

Name 5 albums that had the biggest impact on your life: Saturday Night Fever Parallel Lines-Blondie Complete Madness-Madness 1984-Van Halen London Calling-The Clash

So…House Of Kong… I can’t really do it justice here as you can’t take pictures in the exhibition -& Gorillaz albums don’t do anything for me. But fair to say that Noel Gallagher lacks the brains, sense of humour, depth of musical taste or talent to come up with anything as inventive as this.

#5albums50s60s05 evening all…. 1)CCR-Green River 2)Beatles-Revolver 3)Bob Dylan-Bringing It All Back Home 4)Sly & The Family Stone-Stand! 5)Rolling Stones-Beggars Banquet

Possibly THE perfect pop single

Would like to thank @simonprice.bsky.social :whilst on holiday in Rouen last week & wanting to pick up some French pop I remembered him mentioning this chap on a @chartmusictotp.bsky.social podcast-god it’s great!!!

#NowPlaying rather lovely

#NowPlaying starting to work way through this…..

Just finished this over the holidays-it’s an absolute delight-unlike Kevin’s book you have to be fanatical about the group to love it. Fortunately I am-the chapter with Big Jimmy is particularly moving

#NowPlaying back in dear old Blighty……🙄

One of the greatest TOTP performances of all time. Dave Barker looks amazing here

Happy 55th birthday to Double Barrel by Dave and Ansell Collins, which was released as a single on this day in 1970 and eventually made the number one spot the following spring youtu.be/bZp3neTZRks?...

Anyone on here invested in the gargantuan Jane Birkin box set? Is it worth a recently obsessed French pop enthusiast biting?

#NowPlaying when in a foreign country I always like to pick up something that relates to it. Especially when the Air b’nb has a stereo……

#NowPlaying close your eyes & you will be there

#NowPlaying Compromise is the devil talking …& he spoke to me…..

Kemi Badenoch here, deciding to adopt a different identity to the one assigned to her at birth. The person who tells migrants they should go home says, without irony or any sense of self-reflection, that her "home is where [her] now family is". www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24z77yg16eo.amp

#NowPlaying not sure about the cover……enjoying the music though……

Para. 9.4.1. of the UK Immigration Rules provides that entry clearance or permission must be refused where the applicant … (b) is a persistent offender who shows a particular disregard for the law (c) has committed a criminal offence, or offences, which caused serious harm.

Has to be done really…….

Morning….just about…..
