80s Religious Label LP from carboot, listen to this! Sound

One of my favourite songs ever. No fuzz guitar, no psychedelic bits. Just quality soulful pop and skillful musicianship. Timebox "Woman That's Waiting"

Very nice it was too!

This is why AI is fucking shite

Kris (Chris)Jensen "Torture" sheet music. Never heard of it so had a listen...it was... Torture

Mariah Carey cassette singles...who knew?

For the last two months I have had Eddy Grant's "Gimme Hope Jo’anna" in my head every fucking day and it's wearing me down. Not that I've ever minded the tune previously tbh. Totally righteous tune really but every day, every fucking day. Anyway I've just listened to it for the first time in years..

Turned up 4 copies of this single today. 50p a pop. Could leave any incase it was brilliant and expensive. It is neither. Discogs says "powerpop". I say no-power pop. #weekendsingles I offer you Hollywood Fox

Carboot £1 Whoah... wrong record in sleeve. FFS

Due to my extensive research in this field, which would be a lot more work than a PhD (incidentally the same as yours, buying, playing & enjoying so many records over so many years).. I have to (almost reluctantly) concur with the general opinion that The Beatles are the greatest pop band ever

This psychiatric unit had the right idea, seems like it's closed down though ...

This was my childhood

I think the biggest danger to modern music is not AI or even venue closures but the evolution of the gym rat.

IVORY Silver Rains, remains a monster tune. US West Coast psych. There is apparently an Portuguese EP but I've long had the LP and that will do for me.

#weekendsingles The bag I found this morning at the carboot. The singles I didn't find this morning!

For post-punk fans I offer up this obscure single by The Front Room. No pic sleeve on my carboot copy. Flipside is a real Wire influenced popper "Camera"

I bet this lot thought they might have an outside chance of a minor hit with this one. I would have been on their side too. Baby Patrol "Fun Fusion", 1980.

A record I have only seen TWICE In my record hunting. (Possibly might have seen it in the 80s and not known what it was, a caveat). Spawned at least two tribute re-writes. Dukes Of Statosphear and The Times. Nick Nicely "Hilly Fields"

I've absolutely no idea why this band are not at the top of the post-punk collectors want lists

They don't make records like this anymore, yer modern day "post-punkers" Family Fodder "Debbie Harry"

Stockport is one of my favourite towns in the UK and this is their greatest ever band bar none. Wimple Winch Bootleg.

Colin + David brought this to the party in '69 "Light All The Fires it's the King Of The Rumbling Spires"

Timebox Beggin'. I think I bought this full collectors price at a record fair. I prefer the BSide "A Woman That's Waiting". Timebox were a very good band.

Two Marsha Hunt singles on Track. Desdemona I was looking for for years.

The Action..so good. Checkers Cutnall Green appears to be a pub / restaurant near Kidderminster.

First heard this absolute belter at the Mousetrap in London and I couldn't fucking believe what I was hearing. It was already way over my budget then. Great little reissue though in the Solution label is well worth getting. Check the graphic design too. Now that is something.

Corker this one. It's in the wrong period company sleeve though.

Nicely is a good tune I think. German pic Sleeve.

One sided Acetate of "Flying Saucers Have Landed" by Paul St. John. Purchased before it was compiled, off the title alone. Therefore it was cheaper than a pint in London.

Decent late 60s pop, written by Tom Northcott, who did the great Who Planted Thorns In Miss Alice's Garden. Bside sounds a bit 70s early glam pop or even theatrical power pop despite the 69 release. But not overly keen

Totally great McCartney style 60s popper here. The LP definitely has its moments too. Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera "Mary Jane"

youtu.be/zt21ySnfdvg?... Need to get this LP

Had this for years and years but when I found cheap at carboot I already knew the tune as it's on a Rubbles comp. BUT I didn't know the flip side & I didn't know there was an LP & I didn't know there are some great tracks on said LP. That wasn't released in the Uk. Philamore Lincoln

I always loved this one too.

Rarest/most expensive 7" in my collection

So I've sorted, cleaned and re-sleeved where necessary these 5 boxes of 7" singles. Maybe another 12-15 to go. Maybe I will get rid of some. #weekendsingles

I will never see Tourette Syndrome again in the way I previously saw it. The film is immense. The people who live with this are immense human beings. What a fucking struggle to get by day to day.

#weekendsingles Plus I gave one to @ffrench.bsky.social And sold maybe 3 copies at least. #LoveWillTearUsApart #JoyDivision

#weekendsingles More from the punk boxes

I watched the film about Tourette Syndrome, I Swear. It was one of the most moving films I've seen in decades. m.imdb.com/title/tt3151...

#weekendsingles Some punk classics as I went to see John Lydon last night. We HAD to go. I don't like some of his views these days but we still HAD to go.

"Dolly will you help me move on"

I saw a guy at work this week look at his wife with the most love in his eyes of any man I ever did see. Fuck the war

The Islamic religion viewed from the traditional Judeo-Christian perspective seems abhorrent but from the other angle the same is true. The real truth is BOTH are utter nonsense. There is a sun ☀️ in the sky giving us life. Go worship that if you feel the need to worship something.

I went to see Lydon. He didn't say anything too outrageous. Acted the part. Wife shock his hand. I'd gone for a piss.
