I’ll allow for how miscast the lead is, but I love the first Jack Reacher film. The sort of thing I’ll be hoping will be on c5 after the snooker finishes later

Queuing at the tip, Salsoul on in the car

Big fungi getting together to promote mushrooms in a totalitarian style youtu.be/7zczCyuHEVA?...

Current setup. No one gives a rat’s ass what’s playing & I’m out of the rain (both ideal)

On this day (2nd May) in 1982 at 09:45am BST Virginia Astley recorded churchbells in South Stoke, Oxfordshire as featured on this youtu.be/YfQXfLtsozU?... 💚

Sometimes it’s worth stopping off on the way to pick up the cat’s medicine from the vet. 50p each #charityshop

Guys, I ended up watching Rockpile videos online so long I missed the start of the snooker

Back from a run where I saw a very elaborate den down the woods

New favourite tradesperson. Aside from the name, it’s nice to have someone turn up (when they said they would) & actually offer to repair a cheap machine, instead of just saying it isn’t worth mending

Fully understand all your #RSD criticisms, irks & hot takes, but it’s such a buzz to see punters queuing all day to buy music from this guy who started with a stall in Walkden market

Well this was a delight

Okay, #cdfriday, let’s be having you

Seconded

Even Cliff isn’t exempt from the shambles of the #phonyversary

Went to pick up the new one & found the old one #charityshop

#cdfriday selection picked up this week for around £5

Ah well, there goes another day in the long & complex history of the world

Just when I thought I was out of rabbit holes to disappear down. Thanks to the charity shop gods I can roast my own beans, while drooling over some fabergé

Kingbee Records doing what they do best today. Tbf as good as these all sound at home, that comp of Philadelphia International Tom Moulton they were playing sounded even better

You wore a shirt …

Back from travels & catching up on some recent purchases

Watching this Macca documentary. I’ve gone from hoping for lots of footage of Paul w/Martha, to wondering why the hell Linda’s holding a kitten on their wedding day

They said it could never be done! www.bewithrecords.com/dianaintheautumnwind

Went out to the nice patisserie, came back with the charity shop equivalent of magic beans. £1 each

Hoping my home town still has enough of this sentiment to vote in the greens today. Taken on the day my mum moved out & delighted to preserve some 40 yo graffiti that burned its way into my skull on countless trips to the sweet/video shop

Just checked & #catsonamps is still a thing

First gig of the year. Just remembering that I like music

💯. As with Barney & Stephen, the dude could’ve not played a note after 1980 & still been one of the most unique & iconic players of his generation.

Big noughties vibes on today’s #cdfriday bonanza. £1 each

Who’s the most famous alum of your high school? Sadly, just Scott Andrews from my year who was on GamesMaster once

Now playing

So many big talents before their downfall on #totp. Timberlake, Jim Corr, Lauryn H.

Brooklyn Beckham: it's time to address the shadowy shape that's difficult to photograph in the room

Now playing Part of an order from the excellent Worried Songs over Christmas. Aptly, kicked off my birthday run over the weekend with ‘No Spring Chicken’ worriedsongs.bandcamp.com/album/no-new...

Pick of the haul earlier today. £2 for Pink Island OG ‘An Electric Storm’

"Don't make me sign the tap!" - Marcel Duchamp

Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert/artist. Not counting covers bands in the caravan club it was this. Godley & Creme weren’t in the lineup. My mum won some tickets at work

s/o to William Tyler’s equally hard-to-find reworking of the Southern Comfort theme (in the style of The Rolling Stone’s ‘Play With Fire’), recorded for @aquariumdrunkard.com

Switching the turntable off, out of necessity, this #cdfriday

At the gym & went to put my trainers on. Something was in one of the shoes. Turns out a stray Celebration was in it #true

Jan 1: time to enjoy listening to music I already own & spend less time & money in charity shops etc Jan 3:

A shame The Lighthouse Family were too early for the soft/ yacht rock revival. Wasn’t there a Balearic remix at one point? I guess they had to settle for millions of record sales & massive fame

First #cdfriday of the year. A basic choice for a lot of deadheads, but J’s solo on a manic Deal is pure 🔥🔥🔥(sounds almost like he’s jamming on ‘You’re Sixteen’, before he really takes flight) #deadsky

Productive start to the year. Done some minor guitar modding Now time to get practicing! *fires up ps5*

Nice version, but reckon he’d have rocked a solid TB Sheets #ronan

Obviously I watched this earlier and, yes, obviously I googled how old the actors were at the time and, yes obviously I’m the same age as Robert Shaw was

Bit of a Spiritualized vibe Ronan’s got on Life is a Rollercoaster here #happynewyear
