There are no words for how deeply, deeply disgraceful Trump is. The best I’ve found, however, is this:

Playing some double packs for #12InchTuesday.. might be stretching it a bit 😁 #WeekendSingles

First run in over a year today... No effing but definitely some jeffing.. www.runnersworld.com/uk/training/...

This is why we should complain to the BBC every day. Got a "we are still working on a response to this one" reply, which suggests that they've had a LOT of similar, and are struggling to come up with a viable excuse. They have to respond though, so keep pointing out ommissions and untruths.

Picked out a CD to play when I cooked the dinner & it had to have Up The Ladder To The Roof... (Plus one or two other Motown gems..) #WeekendSingles

#WeekendSingles is drawing to a close in the Antipodes, but here's 9 company sleeved beauts from AUS & NZ, including a black Polydor!! The EMI is an Aus sleeve on a NZ disc...best I could do 😟

In case you thought I was exaggerating, here is the "debate" on Kimmel from Newsnight. David Frum explaining the horrific first-amendment-breaching executive overreach. British right wing hacks: bUt HiS jOkE wAs iNaCCuRaTe!

Another weekend, another #WeekendSingles company sleeve pic... Some things never change, particularly Polydor. There's UK, US, German and NZ paper labels, the ubiquitous UK injection moulded singles, and a flamboyant US "band of gold" edition.. Details in Alt text

#5DebutAlbums0004 #NowPlaying Four for Friday.. 00-04 was peak Napster / "free" music years.. ..a bit of sample robbery hook burglary, noise thievery Or wholesale piracy Not sure 2manyDJ's qualifies, but what an album!

Fab new arrivals from @tunesemporium.bsky.social for #CDFriday I never realised Edwyn had an extra track on the cd version before...

Literal enshitification

#5DebutAlbums0004 #Last4Albums Four terrific debuts all with a slice of oddness running through them. Fiery Furnaces maybe just come out on top.

If a vaguely left politician said this about any of their policies it would be scrutinised to absolute hell and slandered like crazy but put some tech prick in the middle of it preaching about what his tarot cards are saying and the press will bend over backwards to lick his hole til it sparkles

#5DebutAlbums0004 I'm starting here... I guess Soulwax doesn't really qualify?

As Chair, here is our cross-party joint statement from the Parliamentary Black Caucus, regarding the rising threat of racism and violence from the far-right.👇🏾

As the sunmer fades away, Sunday #WeekendSingles is brought to you by Island records I noticed some bands get their logo on the label, sometimes..

Morning everyone Company sleeves don't get any better than the Decca / London / Deram / MCA swirl do they? #WeekendSingles Details in Alt text

now there's an obit I can get behind www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Sister Ray making a big pitch for the top 5 Two VU in my 5? #OhYouShouldn'tDoThat

Playing a few more contenders for #5Albums50s60sFinal Possibly my favourite Beatles, 2nd & 3rd best velvets

Shalamar going out.. 😬

The "grown ups" doing a great job for Labour right now... 🙄

One of the things that has kept me very busy the last few weeks has been installing The Killing Time, my photo project on Galloway and my family connections to the Covenanters, at Dalkeith Palace for PHOTO Dalkeith. It’s an incredible venue to show in and the exhibition is great. Go see it, please!

I've been busy... 5 more for #5Albums50s60sFinal Two fine Aretha albums - Lady Soul just pips I Never Loved a man Dusty has to be in my 5 Etta has such a great voice though Got to say I've never quite connected with Otis

#5Albums50s60sFinal About time I got going with this. One of these (Love) was in my initial 5, not sure if it will stay there

"I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain." Is His Majesty's ambassador to the United States suggesting that a person charged with procuring a child for prostitution would not be prosecuted in the UK? How is he still in post?

So long as any government continues to fixate on policies of deterrents, detention and deportation over making it safer and simpler to seek asylum we will see more deaths. Labour's current restrictions on people seeking asylum is only going to increase tragedies like this www.bbc.com/news/article...

#WeekendSingles #AlbumAlmanac Four of my favourites from the 2010's... Most of my post 2000 albums are on CD but here's some vinyl Kiwanuka - s/t Goat - World Music Richard Dawson - Peasant Low - Double Negative

Here's some holiday snaps from North Wales for #WeekendSingles after a visit to @noiseannoys78.bsky.social in Abergele. Highly recommended (I didn't buy the £800 Smiths box though). Some smashers from the £1 box (one I was v happy to find), & a few "Can't believe you don't had that" See Alt text

Rating & Reviewing The Hits Of September-ish 1995! That's 30 Years Ago! Featuring: "Missing" by Everything But The Girl, the saddest banger, by the saddest band, with the saddest backstory of all time! tnocs.com/about-this-t...

#NowPlaying Amanda Shankar Experience & State of Bengal - Walking On 25 years ago there seemed to be a lot of East / West fusion going on..

CAN YOU IMAGINE CALLING FOR SOMEONE TO BE ARRESTED FOR A TWEET?!?!

#NowPlaying James Brown - Soul Classics Today's record resurrection is a disc that has been sat unplayed pretty much since I bought it for 50p in a boot sale 20 years ago.. it was horribly noisy 😟 Gave it a proper clean, fixed up the cover, and it plays really well. The funk starts here..

A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the “problem of immigration” and dismantles talking points with ease.

Who's killing the journalists in Gaza?

#5Albums50s60sFinal Safe as Milk The Beefheart debut just gets better with the years Try the mono version here.. the stereo is the usual late 60's oddness. www.profstoned.com/2017/06/capt...

#NowPlaying Mika Vainio 25072016235210179 After playing the reissue by the other half of Pan Sonic yesterday.. Recorded live at the Berlin Atonal festival 2016 berlinatonal.bandcamp.com/album/250820...

Making some noise for #12InchTuesday #NowPlaying

"But how many flags have you sprayed on zebra crossings this week?"

#NowPlaying I saw this mentioned yesterday. The only album I know where every track could have been a smash hit. "If you gave me a pound for all the moments I missed"

You're in luck! Pre-order here... mistyinroots.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

#NowPlaying Ilpo Vaeisaenen - Asuma A reissue of a 2001 solo album from one half of Pan Sonic. Bridges the gap between their early bleeps clicks and glitches and their later full on industrial noise. Not for everyone.. Sounded great to me ilpovaeisaenen.bandcamp.com/album/asuma-...

is it only asylum seekers our Labour Prime Minister would object to living next to or would the sentiment apply to black and brown people in general? if merely the former, would he like to explain how he knows people he sees, say, in the street, actually are asylum seekers and not citizens?

It’s literally impossible to imagine selling your soul in the way Labour MPs have done. I genuinely cannot imagine the process that leads you from where you were to where you are. Dead, dry skin-sacks with no internal parts that can be recognised as human any more. Empty.

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

And so, on Countdown Eve, we come to... #ALL50RTS #Song101 We've had some uncanny things happen over the years, but this might trump them all. 101. ORANGE JUICE, 'Consolation Prize' 🤯 (1982, You Can't Hide Your Love Forever) 47 points (2 x 11) Top rank: 5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyG7...
