Whilst I'm always looking to buy record collections, at the moment it's a priority! Do you know anyone looking to shift their collection, or perhaps are you embracing a different format... or moving, whatever the reason. DM WhatsApp - 07455680866 Email - [email protected] Let's chat! 🌞

Stramash ‘63 my weird 60’s Glaswegian crime/ sci-fi comic is available here in print and digital jamescorcoran.bigcartel.com

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

Cum on feel the noize!

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

“I mean, your society’s broken, so who should we blame? Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.” —Iain Banks www.theguardian.com/books/2013/j...

Yes. I suggest we all write letters today to all the PSBs asking why they’re not covering Ed Davey’s call to all leaders about Elon Musk inciting violence in their broadcast coverage. Make it specific. Don’t mention Farage. Then they can’t reply with a standard response

Mandelson was architect of 2nd State visit for Trump. That visit should not happen. It is sickening to confer special UK honour on Mandelson's fellow Epstein acolyte who is a dangerous autocrat, banning books, militarising police & destroying democratic freedoms.

Nearly 17k sigs. let’s get it to 20k at least by Sat. @libdems.org.uk today joined the call for fair coverage. Will @greenparty.org.uk @snp.org @plaidcymru.bsky.social do same. Cross party calls for fair coverage have more legitimacy. Encourage people to sign petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

Elo elo elo, what's all this then??

Since this is apparently a resigning matter, I’ll just leave this here… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

@zackpolanski.bsky.social @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social

We’re going up at a rate of 700 signatures an hour currently. In the time it took me to boil the kettle it went up by 50. Keep the message in minds folks. Fair coverage is what we want so we hear from ALL parties not just the narrative of one. Sign and pass on petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

The signatures are soaring tonight. We’re nearly at 9,200. I think the message must be sinking in. The map is getting hotter. We want fair coverage and to hear ALL our parties in a multi party democracy not just one over and over again. Sign now. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Stramash ‘63 and the previous issues are now on sale at La Belle Adventure in that fancy Edinburgh with the Castle and all the Culture. It’s a great shop that mostly does French imports and translations but do carry some Scottish titles as well as running some great exhibitions.

⏭️ Coming up on our YouTube channel this week, we will be uploading a selection of highlights from the 70s. 🔗 youtube.com/@thedeearchive

Bumper Day for Reform in media. Falling over to allow Farage to set agenda. Little real debate but the word REFORM, not liberal, green, labour, Tory, Plaid or SNP is what will be first on lips when they think of politics. This is the agenda! Fair coverage now petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like. If you hate him, give it a RT.

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

It's always good to see your latest book, Anglo-Scottish Footballers out in the wild. Seen here in the Hyndland Bookshop in Glasgow's West End.

Free link to Stramash issue 1 of the original series for no reason other than I still really like it. 1950’s Sweary Scottish gangsters, strange goings on and just what is in that hold-all. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kxy80...

Funny how not a single person has ever asked myself or Pete to discuss the Cliffster on the show. 🤔😂

I really don't do many YouTube shows outside of the Sea of Tranquility sphere, but Tom Curless was kind enough to ask me to join him on Curlessmania and talk about early Marillion for an hour. How could I resist?? A follow up about Fugazi is also in the works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AL9u...

youtu.be/rCu7Cgtpem4?... This month's FTUKC :SNSO/USASGFS / BDASGFS sees @tranquilityfire.bsky.social and myself run the rule over Bobbie Dazzle and the Mama's Boys. Be there are be a cuboid.

Superb!

Wee reminder that you can get copies of my comics with a sketch in that Fancy London from the good folks at @goshcomics.bsky.social

@jamescorcoran78.bsky.social Can't say enough good things about Stramash - and it's artwork. Delighted with my new addition.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

I'm in storage and found these two German Sabbath boxsets. Unfortunately, vol 1 is missing a record... so let's pop them up for adoption. If you'd like these comment below, 'Sabbra Cadabra' and a random wheel thingy will choose someone later. There is no need to repost, but appreciated if you do.

I'm a little late in sharing this, but please bask in this magnificence from @jamescorcoran78.bsky.social. Absolutely stunning stuff.

youtu.be/KSTS27TWZc8?... Look! It's been uploaded just in time. Marvel at @tranquilityfire.bsky.social trying to be diplomatic about the Quireboys. He might be nicer about Dendera.

youtu.be/o0oA8vQjpi8?... At least this will be up at the correct time this week. Join myself, the Murcan and @tranquilityfire.bsky.social for some total gibberish at the normal time then available forever.

Interesting thumbnail. More interesting than the video? You decide. @tranquilityfire.bsky.social dispenses pearls of wisdom at the normal time then available forever. youtu.be/VMhR5WdJkVQ?...

youtu.be/e9C2V0KXm9c?... This evening @tranquilityfire.bsky.social show how little we know about current music and music from the past. Feel free to join us.

I'll let the handsome man below do the talking. But sooner or later he'll garble something or other about "ticket links" to Luke Morley September shows, so here they are: www.williedowling.com/shows/ #LukeMorley #SiânBluGreenaway

I am all about the powery metaly. Uncle Simon loves it too.... especially when he can find his CDs.

Memo from Private Eye to our broadcasters

Thanks for doing the deed for us David!

And I appreciated you getting the album name wrong in a show of solidarity. 😁

Whereas I can assure everyone concerned for the safety of music that my records and CDs have been replaced in their correct alphabetical and chronological order

At least I'm not trying to get down with the kids like Old Uncle Simon! 😂

Welcome to Joel's Vinyl Adoption Agency 🐶🐱 Absolute classic Quo. Someone repaired the label area, and it plays great. Best I don't want to sell it... so let's pop it up for adoption. Look at the swirl! To adopt comment, "o baby"
