Meant to post this a couple of weeks ago - Fabulous new book by Birmingham music legend #DaveTwist. Glitter & Glue is a snapshot of Dave’s collection of music related ephemera during his teenage years 1972-79 inc his early music forays with Durans John Taylor & Stephen Duffy amongst others - Superb

The pick of this weekends top of the charity shop pops! Well pleased with the Merry Clayton & Tammi Lynn 7”s

Highlight of today’s decent charity shop haul - ‘Trip’ by the wonderfully named Fatty George & Silke Schwinger - a 1972 psych jazz funk soundtrack (complete with period ‘Rackhams’ 99p discount sticker (posh Brum department store BITD) - Good money on yer Discogs

I thought these crisps tasted a bit chewy…I know we ingest micro-plastics in seafood that we’re unaware of but blatantly adding plastic in a quarter of the contents just seems wrong to me. However, it is recycled & will be recycled again at some point in the near future..

Loooonh forward to seeing @blackdoldrums.bsky.social tonight in Brum although am fucking knackered after speeding back from Oxford to Brum in 1hr 20m to make it in time #flyingmachine

Hey Ritchie @weare1of100.bsky.social, apparently, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - Dior obviously think so as seen yesterday in Selfridges…I’m happy with my Musette as I doubt a 12” fits in here!

One of the best and most eclectic shows on the radio (but on a purely selfish note, except for when it’s ’jazz heavy’ show - I fucking hate jazz 🤣)

It’s my 30th wedding anniversary today - People say my wife deserves a medal so I bought her one 😎

Weird coincidence, just listening to Gene Pitney ‘Pitney Today’ (1968) and post came up reminding he’d passed away 20 years ago today 🤯

This weeks fresh drops - another @blackdoldrums.bsky.social release, this time, ‘Live in Belgrade’, #Aircooled ‘My God it’s Full of Stars’, #CultofDomKeller ‘Unholy Drum’ & (Dale) #Frost ‘Functional Language for Underlying Structure’

I’m not a fan of ‘Murican sports but for some odd reason, I love documentaries about them. This one about ABA basketball on Prime is brilliant and well worth a watch - The poster is stunning too

However, my ‘Sober Today’ tracking app says by not drinking during this period, at my previous drinking/ spending rate, I’ve ‘saved’ £30,688! Fuck knows where that’s gone! #guitars #records #assortedtat

On this day 7 years ago, I sought some help. Things couldn’t continue 7 years later, I’m still sober.Can’t believe where the time has gone. It’s not been easy by any stretch & I still struggle from time to time but I’m quite proud of myself so this post is to say ‘well done me’ 😀 #sober #soberlife

Fantastic Sunday afternoon ‘gig’ at Richard March’s RPM Analogue Audio Blue Room with the legendary #BlackMekon recording a live to tape session in front of 20 or so invited guests - very cool and laid back vibe - A pleasure and honour to be there!

This weeks fresh drops - @blackdoldrums.bsky.social - Live at Fuzz Club Festival, The Heads - Your Pretty Place is Going to Hell, @houseofall.bsky.social - Inklings & Foundlings and @projectoverload.bsky.social - Self Titled

Our hearts are broken. Had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy Casper tonight after a short illness at age 18. He was a very handsome boy and we’re really going miss him 💔

Spacemen 3 Vinyl by Danny Passarella 'The Extended Edition' Pre-orders now being taken. www.passarella.co.uk/books/spacemen3-vinyl-extended In addition to the full Spacemen 3 vinyl catalogue, this new edition also includes more interviews + an extensive range of rare and previously unseen material.

Superb gig from @tvam.bsky.social last night in Brum - new album sounds ace live (vox were a little lower in the mix tho) - Played in full (I think), plus a few older bangers to finish - Took some shit photos & a vid that I can’t post - enjoyed the support @thesickmanofeurope.bsky.social too

Going to my first gig since August tonight - @tvam.bsky.social at @hareandhounds.bsky.social in Brum, in the ‘big’ room an’all - should be a good one

#NowPlaying - #LesBigByrd - “IRAN IRAQ IKEA” (2018 @pnkslm.bsky.social) - Superb album, quite apt given the circumstances

Absolutely stunning new album from @tvam.bsky.social on @invadarecords.bsky.social - Superb work Joe, looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday at @hareandhounds.bsky.social in Brum

Finally received my new @heliconglasgow.bsky.social x Al Lover album from #FuzzClub - Other than it being late, the outer & inner sleeves are fucking damaged too (looks like it was dropped before putting it in the mailer) Thankfully, record appears unaffected - Expect better from the label TBH

Oooh was that a Freudian slip then @jamesendeacott.bsky.social - More Morning Glory! 🤔🤔🤞🏻🤞🏻

Condolences to you and your family @jamesendeacott.bsky.social - thanks for the music 🙏🏻

Yellow snow warning #UKSnowChat

4/10 - You need to work on your proportions/perspective - See me after class #UKSnowChat

Happy New Year all!

Cool hour mix @freeyourradio.bsky.social mate - All were (unsurprisingly) new to me 😂

This mix by The Heads is fucking brilliant @jamesendeacott.bsky.social - great work!

Wishing you all a happy 1964 Christmas

Wishing you all a happy 1964 Christmas

Time to go to work lads! #ChristmasMonkees #FlorenceandBelle

Woohoo! Rejoice! A new MMWS! Thank you brother @monkeypicks.bsky.social

Wow @jamesendeacott.bsky.social - that cover of Angie is fucking amazing!

I think I make that 10 sets of trick or treaters so far this evening - keeping me fit getting up and down 😂

Ace show this morning @jamesendeacott.bsky.social! More garage specials please! You should go on holiday more often 😂😂

My God, @discogsofficial.bsky.social site is so frustrating - home page loads but then can’t search for anything as it just hangs - been like this for ages now

Love it when the front row line up with great covers ✊🏻

You’ve gotta love @thelovelyeggs.bsky.social - So much thought put into the artwork, presentation & of course the music plus it’s refreshing to receive a new release before (or at the latest on) release day. Also massive campaigners for fans ‘rights’ (I.e. not being ripped off by ticket sellers) 👏🏻

New release landed from planet @thestripedbananas.bsky.social today! Looking forward to taking the trip at the weekend! Good work Duncan & @thechompunk.bsky.social for keeping the freak flag flying high!

Is it me or us Soho Radio broken this morning? Everything ok @jamesendeacott.bsky.social?

That Parlour Greens (?) version of Jolene was an absolute banger @jamesendeacott.bsky.social - good work @freeyourradio.bsky.social

Today’s charity shop purchases have taken a turn for the industrial… Vinyl in top condition too which is always a bonus

Fanks bab - and with the best GIF too!

Galaxie 500 - ‘On Fire’ - I’d only just bought it the week or so after it came out and lent it to a girl I was going out with - split up, never got it back…

I love @sleafordmods.bsky.social 😂

If the rapture is due to drop today (as the kids say), I’m ok with that. Let me clean my teeth and have a poo first then I’ll be ready for it

Lola catching the last few rays of summer sun on the windowsill

Fucking YES lads! Superb debut album release from the #GANS boys on the Strap Originals label. Known these chaps for many years now so felt the need to get the ‘full’ package to support ‘em 😂. It’s great to see local lads doing well ✊🏻
