We have these tractor tyres dotted all over the village, and they all have various herbs growing in them. So if you're ever in need ...

Me and the littlest went car booting yesterday. I used to have this, no idea where it went, but I'm finally reunited with 1977. For 50p.

And since it is a quiet week for releases, it is a good time to plug the MASSIVE 2026 Music Releases playlist which has over 1100 songs on it as of right now. So, if you missed any of the previous weekly playlists, all of the songs are here and added in chronological order. #NewMusic #MusicSky

In fairness no ref could've taken away from that Canadian performance. Awful.

The referee has been shite in the Canada game. Shock horror it's an English ref 😱

Bought some albums! New releases from: Ratboys Teen Suicide Iron&Wine Tigers Jaw Cardinals Older releases from: Tubelord Wunderhorse Explosions In The Sky Jimmy Eat World (x2) Maps & Atlases Manchester Orchestra

This tune is stunning, probs my fave of 2026 so far! Give it a listen ... music.youtube.com/watch?v=6rVW...

#NowPlaying The stunning new Friko release 😍

To clarify, I'd say 80% of my musical listenings are via streaming, just for convenience and ease. My CD collection gets regular blasts, as it is as I type this. My physical media listenings are fairly reflective of my digital listenings tho! I'm not entirely stuck in the 20th century 😉

#SweetBeats I've saved the best to last. Slipknot have had a few excellent drummers but it's Joey Jordison that hit the sweetest beats. Love him, absolute drumming legend. The first of 3 Slipknot picks, I couldn't just pick 1! Gematria (The Killing Name) music.youtube.com/watch?v=mSDw...

It has their best song on it IMO.

#NowPlaying Their best album? Nope. But close!

#HomeMadeMusic 🏡🪚🎸 I'm lucky enough to follow some great songwriters here, but none of you post your own stuff nearly enough, or else I keep missing them. So how's this—post something of yours now and mark it #HomeMadeMusic. Quote this post if you want to spread the word! #musicsky #musiciansky
