Rewatching the shit out of Victorian Farm Christmas

Hello, it’s bandcamp Friday and this was made over a quarter of a century ago. Christ. One for fans of Children of Green Knowe, field recordings, twigs snapping and the potential of a log fire in some far-off rural pub.

Banger album

Forever a favorite!

Hello, it’s bandcamp Friday and this was made over a quarter of a century ago. Christ. One for fans of Children of Green Knowe, field recordings, twigs snapping and the potential of a log fire in some far-off rural pub.

The alternative Christmas album that never gets it’s dues.

I didn’t buy this for 3 English pounds

T-shirt is almost 30 years old and never seen an iron

@gregbuzwell.bsky.social is that a Sheila Flinn as your profile pic?

RIP Wycliffe. We once skirmished going for the same discounted pastie in Waitrose, Lewes.

Sad about Mani. Always seemed like the nice one.

Me when I tune to DADGAD

If you’re of a certain vintage, it’s happy big 50 to the eeriest, most evocative piece of music and TV intro of all time. I can hear it wafting in from my parents front room when I was meant to be asleep, the neon bottle floating in to view.

Today’s restoration serving strong Virago Modern Classic energy

Somewhat a fairweather jazz fan, but I very much love this.

It’s that time again.

Still the undisputed changing-of-seasons classic: youtu.be/OjvzjuZ2wcA?...

This years window offering.

It Is Time.

With my first born son. Proud of you, proud of the man you’ve become.

Sole boot sale purchase today. Victorian Taxidermy dome with beehives (and real bees).

Did not have this on my bingo-card. The first LP is a thing of still beauty.

Streamline Jabba

Pick ups this week, tucked in the back of an otherwise hum-drum prog collection. Seasonally appropriate!

Graham Nash!

Today’s insane boot score. Hand/screen printed Westwood Pistols tees (that have definitely lived the life)

Mudlarking Lower Halstow

Mexican votive penance ritual, 1940

Never Forget

Always nice when a single image speaks to your soul

Telescopic view of London (Victorian engraving)

This will be a stunner.

Proper hyperventilating when I bought this today. Original Pen and Ink sketch by Leonard Foujita, the king of cats.

Most of my life was laser-focused around Hastings for one reason or another. Get togethers, break-ups, chips with my folks on the seafront. The old town is a place forever changing but always the same. Roberts felt like it might be the big brass pin holding it all together - I’ll be sad to see it go

Picked up a little Victorian oil today from Scottish landscape painter and ornithologist Edward Hargitt. Two kids teasing their playmate who is stuck in finishing lunch. I love how there’s an unspoken story behind it, like a page Tom’s Midnight Garden, The Moondial or a long lost children’s story.

Boot sale score from many years ago, full of holes and I’m breathing in - not sure I’ve ever seen another though.

Any shares of this for algorithmical purposes much-appreciated. I'd love to get these books out of my spare room & into the world before my new novel comes out. I'll sign them all & I really am happy to let people choose what they pay. (Postage to UK is £4.)

A brief history of England's love affair with church bells.

Framing Victorian seaweed, soundtracked by the footy.

Rare I can be arsed to pick up a CD in a chazzer, but I’ll make an exception for the lesser spotted paw print of VA

@kodakghostpoem.bsky.social hi Jon!

Has the weirdo pagan beach boys ‘all summer long’ sun ever been put on a t-shirt?

@dimorphodons.bsky.social lovely to meet you yesterday man! I’ll dig out that private press LP - Deroy was the label I was thinking of! It’s been killing me all day, ha

Incredible A La Ronde

It’s late, i know, but its nice to actually have something new-ish to share for #bandcampfriday - 4 mixes of drone-focused music originally written during the medieval period. FREE! Have at them!

A bastard restoration job (1/3rd flaked off on purchase) - Victorian-does-medieval canvas pasted onto board.

Halifax slipware cuckoo whistles circa 1800-1820. Smashed to pieces. Sold in pairs to sit on your regency farmhouse mantelpiece, they often lose one another - these 2 are still hanging after 200+ years. They produce a hollow call when blown into, pitched like a flute via little hole on the chest.

Steve Ashley’s Stroll on is massively overlooked, as is Steve Tilston’s An Acoustic Confusion. My vote probably goes to Heron for sheer otherworldly atmosphere. I’ll die on the hill that’s Shirley C has never done folk-rock, even if her band were doing otherwise.
