Me and my person

Out in town AGAIN oh yeah thass how I groove

Morning beautiful people. BAD DAVE. Have a great weekend. Love, everybody

Today's teatime tunes: delayed tonight because I'm having a lovely time with a lovely person. One clip and one tune from the soundtrack of this 1968 exploito movie, the band were from Long Island, NY

Just... Paul.

Always will have a soft spot for this film directed by the great Ken Loach & the novel written by Nell Dunn, for the reasons below, and equally for their authenticity. I re-read & re-watched a couple of months ago. They still stand the test of time six decades on.

Blackpool, 1977

Starmer's new digital ID scheme will be really unfair on some people. Particularly the poor bastard that ends up stealing mine.

Granny Takes A Trip first class stamp, 2012

Morning beautiful people. Scout says have a fantastic Friday. Love, everybody

The Who, on Observer magazine covers from March 1966 & March 1972. The photos by Colin Jones & then Tony McGrath give a sense of how fast pop culture moved in the period. (In the second pic, Entwhistle can be seen trying to restrain Moon from continuing an unprompted attack on McGrath.)

Jill Kennington, Queen Magazine, 1965 📷 Brian Duffy

The St. Louis Union, 1966. Keyboardist Dave Webb changed his name to Dave Formula and later played with Magazine and Visage, pop trivia pickers

Clacton seafront, 1964. Working class dandies

Sorted. BOSH

Look at that face, that is the face of an absolute wee arsehole! Pain in the arse all day

Richard Once, T(w)ice, every fucking fortnight on #bbcqt again tonight. So glad I got QT clean years ago

Great stuff from some bright spark at Port Vale

Be fucked if I'm having a #britcard. I don't really exist anyway, like Emmett Grogan

Guess what I'm watching @cavalcadewhimsy.bsky.social ,I've relapsed

Today's teatime tunes: from Milwaukee, and not to be confused with The Shaggs, this anti-drug song was apparently written after a very heavy bad trip. Garage psych genius

My dad would never let us have Chinese or Indian takeaway because 'it's cat and dogs. They go out at night and catch them'. That was in the 70s and now in 2025 we're back to this fucking shite. Jesus.

@brianwoolfinder.bsky.social been out again

Do read the full piece, but this is essential

I've just seen this abomination on Instagram and frankly, I'm appalled. Amateurish proportions, no veins, no bawhairs, no spurting. Starmer's Britain. Khan's London. 0/10

The medieval mind imagined dragons lurking anywhere unfamiliar - even the Alps - and in a 16th century work on Africa, the beautiful engravings show the locals hunting elephants, crocodiles etc and also Romans having a crack at a dragon (I guess in North Africa) #BookologyThursday #dragon #medieval

charging at my boyfriend in the bedroom and he screams "olé!" as I crash into the wall instead

The Measles from Middleton, Manchester at the Sale Locarno, 1965. Dig that amplifier decoration!

Afternoon beautiful people. Ziggy is enjoying some late summer sunshine. Love, everybody

Obviously I despise Reform but I particularly loathe this Reform bloke #Newsnight

RIP Danny Thompson. Here's a playlist featuring just some of the hundreds of songs that were graced by his bass playing. Includes Nick Drake, Pentangle, Donovan, John Martyn, Sandy Denny, Marc Bolan, David Sylvian, Kate Bush, Talk Talk, Lilac Time, Julian Cope etc ▶️ open.spotify.com/playlist/4XS...

Thirteenth Floor Elevators -"Tried to Hide" (1966) youtu.be/TLPJFjO1Jms 'Ever heard this? It's the rare alternate SINGLE version of "Tried to Hide," which was the B-side of their hit "You're Gonna Miss Me." After hearing this version of the song, the version that's featured on their first album...

This cover design. 🤌

You'll be lucky @williamshuttoh.bsky.social

This is truly awful news

The glaring mistake 'through' repeated? I can find no evidence this author wrote those words either. There's plenty to attack Trump with. I smell shite

All those gigs, all those riots and Keith still remembers the shit town I grew up in as the worst. Altamont? Kid's stuff. Try Lanarkshire

Really handy how all these bullets have the shooters'motives inscribed on them

He's come early!

Today's teatime tunes: it's yer garcon with the super-French name (he actually was a Ronald but his real surname was Mehu). Anyway this is fuzztastic and you will recognise the tune if not the altered lyrics

I once floated the notion that Solid Air is actually about Danny Thompson's bass playing not Nick Drake. I shall continue to float that notion. That's what notions are for. RIP Danny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UikP...
