Excellent night of Jazz Sabbath. Great playing and fantastic and very funny in between song ramblings. Got to meet the main man Milton Keanes. Thanks @rockgod2112.bsky.social for getting tickets.

Frustratingly 100% brief and solo views of Hudsonian Whimbrel from Tor Ness The bird flew N. low over the wave cut platform and by the time I had raised my bins I had <30 seconds on the bird. Uniform upper-parts with strong cap and dark lores extending behind eye. @northronbirdobs.bsky.social

Record shopping @hundredrecords.bsky.social today. 🙏🙏 @markgolley.bsky.social and @linnetincley.bsky.social for the lovely gift of this tote from their after-show @neilyoungarchives.bsky.social drinks in Bergen. Fully employed with a moderate haul of wax. 🤘🏻

Happy release anniversary day to one of my favourite @rushtheband albums. It’s a banger. And more stellar Hugh Syme artwork that inspired me . Good day all #NowPlaying #RushFamily #musicsky

Ghost

No.

Good Morning. A new week so a new wall. Featuring some of the remaining stock from RSD. There are still several items available in store until close today. Then all remaining stock will be available on the online store from 8pm tonight. Open today 10am - 3pm

04:30 Plenty of purring 💤 from the front of the queue here in chilly Romsey. I’m certain there’s a paper in waiting for any cryptobiology student willing to take a listen/gander. @hundredrecords.bsky.social @recordstoreday.bsky.social #RSD2025

It’s all happening in Romsey @hundredrecords.bsky.social @recordstoreday.bsky.social #RSD2025. It looks like we’ve sent Nick to Coventry but we like him really.

Gearing up for @hundredrecords.bsky.social @recordstoreday.bsky.social 2025 #RSD. It’s all about the preparation and getting in the right frame of mind for the long haul through the night. Kick starting the day with Jimmy Page & The Black Crowes.

A surprise new addition to my south Hampshire garden list this AM. Not just 1 but 2, Hawfinches first thing. This muddy patch is becoming a bit of a mega micro patch, with Brambling last week and a Serin June 2024 feeding on it!! #ukbirding

The full #Lerxt.

Scores on the doors this morning at CMO were a pleasing 48/15 (given the cool night & ESE wind) inc. 2 NFY species ~ Brindled Beauty & Angle Shades. Also shown are another neat Twin-spot Quaker & Diurnea fagella, looking snazzy on the birch bark. @linnetincley.bsky.social #cleymothobs #norfolkmoths

Another very respectable night in South Hants (VC11) with 189:20. CQ & SQ most common, 121 & 28 respectively. NFY garden carpet (1), E thorn (3), oak nycleotine (2), W S house moth (1), brindled pug (3), A hastiana (1) and A literana (1) - what a beaut that was! #teammoth still no #migrantmothuk

My latest start to the mothing year here at the CFMO (already chastised by @linnetincley.bsky.social). 39:11 all new for year (clearly). A random selection of pics including 2 types of the V bomber equivalent of the moth world Brindled and Oak Beauty. Twin-spotted Quaker and Acleris literana. #CFMO

Hello, do you have anything by that bloke from Porcupine Tree in stock ? 😉 @banquetrecords.com #FamousRecordStoreWorkers 🎶👍

Missing one!

Albums when you were 16? Many more significant ones released in 1977 but before my 16th (August).

Spinning a few old 45s while cleaning some LPs. #Prog

Taking the latest Co & Ca out for a spin. #prog

The ‘big’ guy from Accrington is 80! What a set of pipes…more Yes than Yes. Terrific stuff.

…and now for the ‘full’ Gizmo. @hundredrecords.bsky.social This may take a while!

What a debut! @hundredrecords.bsky.social

RIP Brian James, the original guitarist with The Damned and the writer of their finest songs. More terrible news - another pioneer gone. Thinking of his family and friends youtu.be/kSbgLqTo_Ac

Some of the regular Hundred Records shopping gang. Fine people. And they all turned up this morning. @rockgod2112.bsky.social @bigjoe432.bsky.social

Easing in to Friday with a JayDee ‘Old Boy’ SG played to perfection and ‘The Voice of Rock’.

SALE ! New sale section added. Get stuck in 😀

Morning ! Last day of the in store End of Year Sale. Hopefully see you later. Great couple of days so far. Today is going to be the best day I can feel it 😀 Open from 10am - 4pm Then I will be closed until 2nd January.

Good Morning. Open again on a Sunday ?? Damn right I am. Romsey Farmers Market is on today so come and see me and them. Food and records. It’s all you need really. Open 10.30am - 2pm , or 10am if you are around a bit earlier, just knock the window !

Just following my ‘play-an-old-one-before-you-play-a-new-one’ rule. Getting my Joe Walsh fix at the same time! What a banging cover ‘Turn to Stone’ is. Cheers @hundredrecords.bsky.social

Fabulous gig by Nordic Giants in Southampton last night. I’m pleased to announce I am now exclusively stocking some of their catalogue. Most recent album Origins which is only available otherwise from the band direct, is a particular highlight. Thanks to the guys for giving me the opportunity.

Things I know today that I didn’t know yesterday. There’s a gaping hole in my soul, I’ve reflected upon this and it has a name…the name is ’Blackgaze’. @dreaminglight.bsky.social if you wouldn’t mind squirrelling that Alcest album away for me 🙏

Oh god... :(

A stonking male Golden Pipit ringed this morning at Ngulia Lodge, Kenya 🇰🇪🪶

Levant Blackneck (T. exsiccata), to light at Fareham, Hants on 30/11. New to VC11. T. Tindale

Cranial nerves II & VIII fully engaged…

Not been out for 10 days - great to be looking at ducks again! Garganey at Catcott 👍

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity

3rd Levant Blackneck of the week at Abbotsbury, along with 7 Small Mottled Willow and the other routine migrants @migrantmothuk.bsky.social

An evening of Orcadian magic at the Turner Sims tonight. The exceptional Erland Cooper with excerpts from ‘Carve the Runes Then Be Content With Silence’. With @edge25.bsky.social and @edgellergilly.bsky.social

This is why we say KEEP MUSIC PHYSICAL but we’re never going to fully get back to that world so also there’s a need to pay musicians properly for streaming.

Some home truths about streaming income here…

I got this for my 17th birthday in 1978! The 2024 remaster is quite superb. The bonus live show from the Agora Ballroom is raw and powerful. That tour was the band in their full pomp. Still a bit of time to head down to the sale @hundredrecords.bsky.social

TODAY IS THE DAY! 10th ANNIVERSARY SALE 10am to 4pm Or if you are around early knock the door ! Huge discounts , albums at £5 and £10 See you later Ps Bring coffee x

Some of my tickets for concerts in Birmingham from 1981 to 1984 for #TicketStubWed. They're featured in my gallery of photos on the Birmingham Museums website at www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/stories/phot...

Hello folks! Thought I'd see how it all is over here. Slowly starting to find all the good folks who I was following/who were following me over on the other side. Might take a while! There will be birds, moths, maybe a bit of music. Much like it was before. Here's a hybrid PBB x DBB to get started 😁

There's not enough music from A Formal Horse here on Bluesky. To put that right, here's a belter of theirs from 2021. youtu.be/vu3XptfkdZo?...

Diplopseustis perieresalis (Palm Tabby - and a great example of why I encourage the use of common names!) 1st for VC28 (West Norfolk) and 5th for Norfolk, 9th Aug 2024 in my Dereham garden. Presumed adventive but occurred during a peak period of migration #norfolkmoths #teammoth #migrantmothsuk

Just had a look from my wife that she normally reserves for when I’m spinning Sunn O)))…rude.

Good Morning ! Well the follower count has gone crazy over the weekend. Due in no small part to @tim-burgess.bsky.social bigging up local independent record shops. Than you Tim ! 🙏 First one in the playlist today is for you. Then the rest will be ..,
