A Brit in the semis of Wimbledon, England still in the World Cup and Nigel Farage spending the summer arguing with a bin. Oh this happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social Hi Tom, Eclipse Recs have a summer sale on, with some very good bargains eclipse-records.co.uk/collections/...

Exploring the Wilburyverse is a trip

#Brits Hang on, according to the Sky news live feed they've presented awards to Sam Fender, Dave, Olivia Dean and Fred Again during the breaks. Isn't that kind of missing the point of an awards ceremony?

My children now ask what it was like in the time before the rains came. And I tell them, I cannot remember....

@bethrigby.bsky.social Just a thought but please could you and your fellow Sky politics reporters start to post here. There are now 42.5 million accounts on Bluesky, so lots of people would appreciate it if you all would do so.

@bbclaurak.bsky.social Isn't it time BBC and Sky news journalists started to post on Bluesky? There are more 42.5 million accounts here now, so it's no longer a niche site.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This Bruce Springsteen song deserves to be shared, heard and shared again youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

Worth every second

Don't you think he looks tired?

Good morning. Here's Gareth Hunt demonstrating the dangers of trying to work whist nursing the mother of all hangovers.

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social Hi Tom, there's a good sale on at Eclipse. Here's the link eclipse-records.co.uk/collections/...

Watched The Thursday Murder Club and having read the books I can honestly say this is an absolutely dire adaptatation. A spiky clever cosy crime book has been adapted into a cringeworthy tv movie with some seriously criminal bad acting.

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social The Bending Sounds sale has doubled in size! This is a bit like the record shop sales during lockdown - real quality music bargains (and contrastingly Sleaford Mods and Phil Collins) bendingsound.co.uk/collections/...

Some people have been critical that U2 have been (mainly) silent on Gaza. I believe everyone has the right to choose their causes and battles (and U2 have fought more than most music artists). But this makes it clear where they stand (and I stand with them). www.u2.com/news/title/o...

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social New Summer Sale at EelPie Records just went live. Nothing for me this time but lots of good stuff left from the shop sale www.eelpierecords.com/summer-sale-...

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social I can't add a link for some reason, but TheRecord Store Bradford are having a summer sale

#Liveaid Fact - Neil Young was wearing this same tshirt at Glastonbury and also finally brought this song to a conclusion in June 2025 after singing its 4,000,000th verse.

#Liveaid The Cars...so that's where Biffy Clyro got that drum intro

#Liveaid Crosby et al...like those teachers at school who brought their guitar into assembly. Torture

#Liveaid The Who do go on don't they?

#Liveaid youtu.be/_li_d_YviZ4?...

#Freddie #Queen #LiveAid Brilliant, just brilliant

#LiveAid Someone put more money in the meter. Dire Straits are flagging. Then again, don't.

#LiveAid oh Christ not Phil Collins

#Sade #LiveAid Feels like Sade's set was 2 hours long.

Spandau Ballet 40 years ahead of fashion here with their dodgy mullets. #LiveAid

The view from my hotel window in Birmingham. They say travel broadens the mind.

#Glastonbury You can really see that Neil Young has invested the money he made from selling his back catalogue on his outfit and stage presentation.

#Glastonbury #NeilYoung There appears to be be an oversized baseball cap doing a rather goog Kermit the Frog impression on the Pyramid Stage tonight.

#Glastonbury #Pulp Joyous

#Glastonbury All is right in the world for an hour. #Pulp are on the Pyramid Stage - their rightful place

#Glastonbury This 1975 set is akin to Glastonbury reimagined as a Nescafe ad (decaf)

#Glastonbury ....well Lorde and Lola Young stepped up to the occasion...meanwhile the 1975 put their alarms on snooze

#Glastonbury Shed Seven. A bit like a Blackpool end of pier act. Very much cringe worthy

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social A very good sale here, lots of good stuff added and shouty old Sleaford Mods are there to bring things down pandvrecords.co.uk/product-cate...

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social Good sale here with some very good albums for a tenner and some RSD25 titles heyjoemusic.co.uk/collections/...

@cheapindievinyl.bsky.social What a sale! eclipse-records.co.uk

I first thought it was Dominic Cumming’s sticking his head through one of those face in the hole boards

@sellingamirror.bsky.social Thought this might add to the cannon

Now #Gibson and #Voight being a Trump supporting clown doesn't surprise me, but #Stallone What an absolute turnip. Hero to wee man zero in one fell swoop

Thanks to everyone asking if these are my canaries 😉

Informed two of my staff members that they're in the shortlist for a promotion. Later I noticed one of the hopefuls bragging to friends on social media that they might be promoted at work. That person did not get promoted. Because they spelled it "permotion" in the posts.

@outonbluesix.bsky.social Hi Tim. Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying reading your articles (and posts). They're informative, fair (putting context to old shows) and entertaining. I have now added a couple of your books to my Christmas wish list! Keep up the good work.

#vinylsale #vinyl bargains. Surely I can't be the only person currently struggling with record shops reducing an overpriced £34.99 album to an almost fair price of £22.99 and having the audacity to call it a Black Friday bargain. Is Watchdog still a thing?
