Now off until September! Just back from a 8 mile walk to kick-start my break and seems appropriate to throw on #Madonna and her first self titled album, released in 1983, featuring #Holiday

Really looking forward to seeing #MercuryRev on Wednesday at Chinnery’s Southend! A fantastic band to have on our doorstep and in an intimate venue! #TheLightInYou is quite an autumnal album, dreamy and beautiful and somewhat overlooked.

Picked this up in #SouthRecords today and an absolute bargain. The soundtrack to one of my favourite films and one of my favourite soundtracks too! #StewartCopeland #RumbleFish Perfect for a warm summer evening and if I squint it could be Tulsa outside!

Monday afternoon listening… #RobertaFlack #FellLikeMakinLove

Continuing my warm up for tonight’s massive 50th Birthday Celebrations, now playing #Underworld #AHundredDaysOff 💃🕺🪩🎸🥁

Warming myself up for tonight’s mammoth 50th Birthday Party Celebrations tonight! Playing some French Indie Pop with #Phoenix and #AlphaZulu 💃🕺🪩🎸🥁

Monday evening listening… #SteveWinwood #ArcOfADiver

Saturday afternoon listening… #BlackUhuru #BlackUhuruReggaeGreats #IslandReggaeGreats #SlyDunbar #RobbieShakespeare

So back in from walking in the rain and a cuppa made, now time to put my feet up and pay my tributes to #OzzyOsbourne with the #BlackSabbath debut album.

So a much deserved sit down and cuppa after my epic non-stop walk, nearly 23k steps taken too! Typical that the sun has come out now! Anyway, going to listen to this much overlooked #ABCBand album #HowToBeAZillionaire

Before heading out later a bit of smooth listening with #BillWithers #BillWithersGreatestHits

It’s Monday, I’m still on leave so why not! #DuranDuran #RioAlbum

First Saturday Night in for quite a while, so going to spin this classic tonight, #PrefabSprout #SteveMcQueenAlbum

So all settled for nice afternoon and evening lounging in the garden, furniture and washing out in the garden and then panic, drops of rain! So now I’m indoors! Oh well gives me the opportunity to listen to #Haim brand new album #IQuitAlbum

Heading out dancing in a bit, so only fitting to put on some early 1980’s dance music! #Heaven17 #PenthouseAndPavement 🕺💃🪩

Monday afternoon listening… #SimpleMinds #OnceUponATime

Thanks to Richard at #SouthRecords for holding this for me today! #BetterOblivionCommunityCenter #PhoebeBridgers #ConorOberst

Definitely in a #EverythingButTheGirl #EBTG vibe at the moment! Here’s their classic Dance and Drum n Bass classic #WalkingWounded

Been a while since I had a vinyl update, shabby weather is a good excuse to have a cuppa and listen to #EverythingButTheGirl #EBTG #Temperamental

New album release alert! #Stereolab #InstantHologramsOnMetalFilm Thanks to #SouthRecords Home after a nice 10 mile walk around Southend!

Thursday afternoon listening… #TheAssociates #TheAffectionatePunch1980

So #Madness #OneStepBeyond was the first ever LP I bought with my own pocket money. Not a birthday or Xmas gift or a hand-me-down, but my choice to go into a shop and buy. This IS the actual record too. Not rare, not even a favourite, but it was a personal landmark or coming of age moment!

New album release alert! #StevenWilson #TheOverview Thank you #SouthRecords
