No #rsd here. It's boogaloo, baby. #weekendsingles

THREAD: I’ve been posting pretty much daily on my Patreon site. All of my posts this year have been free to access, so all you need to spend is your precious time. Here are some recent things you might have missed. (thread) patreon.com/NeedleMythol...

Keir Starmer briefly raised his currency by refusing to drag the UK into Trump's war.Yesterday he ignored threats of genocide to tweet about Kanye West and today, amidst the collapsing ceasefire that ignores Israel carpet bombing Lebanon, he says he is in the middle east talking to people. #hopeless

Re-watching the brilliant "Head" (1968) for the zillionth time. Good thing about my ancient panny plasma is I can hook it up to my hifi speakers very easily. An appropriate film for the times with it's strong anti war themes. And nice and loud. #themonkees #nokings #fucktrump

Some #weekendsingles Perpetual Langley, Brother Jack McDuff, The Beach Boys (60's French EP test press inc. their cover of Louie Louie), Joe Tex, Unit Four plus two (X2)

The big man has worn himself out playing with a rediscovered Xmas pom pom thing. #caturday

Maisie says "more cat treats and less doom scrolling to read about the global horror show purrlease" (She's so corny).

Take 5 from the horror and bathe in the beauty of The Carpenters.

I've got some nice (UK seller) US Nintendo virtual boy games up for grabs. Rare US originals. Ending soon retro gaming people. See other auctions to, er, see other auctions. Sealed Panic Bomber, 3D Tetris complete. Make my day. More to come.

Why would they release these, I’m crying

Hard to be optimistic about anything at the moment, but there is one positive development I suppose. Donald Trump has made the strongest possible case for why countries must turn their back on fossil fuel. And they seem to be listening.

If Trump needs allies to police the strait of Hormuz, surely there's an obvious solution? The board of peace must launch into action immediately and do their thing. A perfect opportunity for them to prove their good intentions and commitment to a better and safer world. No? #stopthewar

So much freedom of speech for those fleeing the imaginary Elon Musk UK "Sharia law and endless crime and no freedom of speech". Influencers doing what they do. No taxation, and no freedom. Big LOLZ at the Clicks'n'likez brigade. Enjoy the crackdown suckers.

Hell no. We won't go. Stop the war.

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to go to the US to side with Donald Trump against his own country. What did I say Roy?" "You said he's a treacherous self-serving sack of shit"

Some soul and #northernsoul 45s for #weekendsingles .

How have I only just discovered this gem! Quality.

I was gifted this gorgeous 14" portable crt TV a couple of weeks back but it didn't have a remote so couldn't be tuned in. New one arrived today and boof. Shown here Tempest 2000 on my Atari Jaguar. Can't wait to try out my other consoles on it. #retrogaming #atari #llamasoft #atarijaguar

"Starmer vows to fight on" i.e. Starmer refuses to accept he has blown it. So depressing. After 14 years of Tory leaders who were more interested in clinging to their own jobs than helping the UK population. Shows Starmer's Labour is the same old shitty story. Not the new dawn people voted for.

Seems like the Green Party are going to win in Denton and Gorton. Brilliant. Shame on Starmer, and good riddance to Goodwin. Looking forward to hysterical "millionaires to flee the area" and worse type hatchet jobs to flood the poisoned media tomorrow. #choosehope

Turned over from the dreadful #theapprentice to #thehotelinspector and just had 10 minutes of adverts. Hope there's a sliver of actual programme there at some point. Modern commercial telly init.

Tough one. 1. Anyway, anyhow, anywhere 2. I can't explain 3. Love Reign O'er me

Ben Fogle 'new lives in the wild' to be renamed 'Homeless people with significant mental health issues at large". Not meant to sound judgemental but a staggeringly depressing episode.

Anyone else thinking Silchester - Melchester. No? Just me then. #diggingforbritain #royoftherovers

Another tribute to the great #williecolon . RIP. One of the many kings of Latin soul.

Brilliant new cat toy self-discovered by Bear. The bath tap. Batteries not required. (Kept him amused for a good 30 seconds). #caturday

The sun is shining, it's not raining and it's over 12 degrees. Amazing. Here's a few of the records I played out in Stockport last weekend at the lovely Red Bull on Hillgate. #weekendsingles

Student loan holders anticipate feeling immediate and total relief if inflation falls to 3%. Entire country on brink of national celebration. Certainly doesn't feel like 3% (or 3. Whatever)

I have 80 7" #weekendsingles and some albums locked and loaded for this tomorrow in case anyone is about in #stockport and fancies a quality curated earbashing at the #redbullstockport #outsidebroadcast

Looking forward to the follow up #petplan advert when the drippy bloke gets a £15k bill due to exclusions and co-pays and unnecessary molecular scans and blood tests.

Great comedy writes itself.

Couple of mixed sets of 45s from two of my favourite bands to chase the rain away, The Creation and The Artwoods. (Bought long ago I hasten to add!) #weekendsingles Some comments in alt text.

Turned on the BBC parliament "debate" on #mandelson . "Chopper" Chope - blocker of laws to stop upskirting - commanding the floor to feigned horror then up pops Rupert Lowe to interject to praise "free speech champion" Musk. Truly through the looking glass stuff.

Won't ANYONE tell him about the real world and that EVERYONE is laughing at his endless and ludicrous lies? Does he know about THE INTERNET?

Insane MAGA ghouls. How on earth do they sleep at night.

Tip of the tip of the iceberg I'm sure. Great digging from Dan Neidle. #epstein #mandelson

Starmer is so inspiring. Said nobody.

Harry Hill's podcast is back and it's fantastic (unless you don't appreciate HH, it's a free country of sorts, just). Spotify link to the excellent first one with Stewart Lee. Lots of older episodes available and they're hilarious. Sarah the AI bot is brilliant.

Descending down the Graham Fellows (aka Jilted John, John Shuttleworth)"Love at the hacienda" 1985 album. Imagine Saturday morning TV (at a guess) showing a video for "Seven pints and a suicide". Gloriously un-rockstarish. Genius.

Shocked at all the horrors of the last 24 hours and the predictable bare faced lies of the Trump fascists. Too late for #caturday but Maisie says #fucktrump #fuckice

I've watched #martysupreme and just watched #sinners and honestly, I thought they were both absolutely terrible films. Awful main characters with no back stories or likeable aspects. Dreadful "plots" full of massive holes. Clichéd and corny/inappropriate music, just shit basically. #baffled

Bear, who still sleeps curled up on the top of his kitten house despite being a very big cat. His perch as we call it. #caturday I'd like to pretend the awful leaded effect windows were AI, but, hey....

Digging out some tunes to play at the wonderful Red Bull in fashionable Stockport with some extremely talented friends on Sunday 15th February. Expect anything from northern soul to synth pop to punk to indie to Latin to Medway to Brazilian to funk to jazz to pop and anything in between. Free entry.

Current obsession. There's also a reissued album and Cd with some superb bonus tracks (it's also on Spotify etc.) Originally released in 1985. Totally missed it despite adoring his "True Love Stories". #grahamfellows #jiltedjohn #johnshuttleworth

Northern soul originals for #weekendsingles

Right now. Funny not funny. South Park were well ahead of the curve and have been forever.

A random nine for #weekendsingles . Happy new year. It's already turning into an interesting one for all the wrong reasons.
