What a killer release this is today. Kaiso Power: Sound Revolution in Trinidad. Do your ears a proper favour. Think this is up your street @monkeypicks.bsky.social

Born on this day 100 years ago. The word genius is used far too easily these days but Miles Dewey Davis III was a pure genius. #Jazz

Introduce yourself with ten bands/artists you've seen live: Jean Carne Paz Ezra Collective Marcos Valle Libertines Mathew Halsall T Rex Lonnie Liston Smith Elaine Delmar Jack Penate

This will be booming out in the garden over the weekend 🌞

@mary-from-modbury.bsky.social No prizes for guessing where I have been today 😜

So it’s Spurs or West Ham in the Championship next season. Love it to be Spurs tbh but not looking likely.

Do dumb & dumber run the Tory party campaign? Kemi Badenoch clearly states on a party election broadcast tonight that she was so proud of the opportunity to get work experience at 16. She vowed to bring it back. The irony is that opportunity was given to her in 1998 under a Labour government 😂😂🤦😂😂

Tough week. Home now. It’s been amazing 🇧🇧

Momoko Gill has just the most therapeutic voice. Her debut release is still up there as one of the best of 2026 so far. Loved her collab with Mathew Herbert on the Clay album in 2025.

Monday morning not looking shabby 🇧🇧

Only acceptable at this time of day in an airport 😂🍺🇧🇧

Yes of course it a reissue as I’m sure MrsE would not understand if I managed to get my grubby mits on an almost impossible to find original. Not many records evoke such feelings as arguably the birth of Bossa Nova recording. Classic is too often used but in this case it genuinely is one.

As covers go this is a belter. Found a copy of it on an old Baz Fe Jazz compilation and can see it being played at many a summer party along with the Odell Brown & the Organizers cover of Mas Que Nada ❤️ #JazzDance

On the way home with my haul in tow 🎷

A small treat to myself while in London.

Aquáticos - Fabiano Do Nascimento & E Ruscha V, perfect Monday evening chilled listening.

Up and at em. New week begins as usual with my 7.30 swim. Hope everyone has a successful week and the global news improves.

Thames Water's creditors want to set a new low for privatised water by asking Ofwat to sign off on a deal which allows them to break the rules. Ofwat are poised to agree. We can't let them. Email your MP now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/the-...

Nearly 1 in 6 UK species are threatened with extinction. We've lost 97% of our wildflower meadows since the 1930s. We have 73 million fewer birds than in the 1970s - a decline of almost a third. And yet some politicians still just see wildlife as a blocker to progress.

On this day in 2019. How is this so long ago. I think it was the last ever Sunday Afternoon at Dingwalls. The brilliant Mafalda on the decks.

This fills me with hope for so many reasons. Show this to your daughters and let their imaginations run free. #Artemis2

Never a truer word 👏👏

This ill conceived & pointless conflict has cost the lives of innocent people & it will push many into poverty around the globe. Take a bow Donald you self promoting, egotistical, completely useless excuse of a human being. Now he has the neck to say he doesn’t care 🤦

Lovely day in Oxford, lunch at the White Rabbit, pocket square and Marvis from Burrows & Hare, sandals from Russell & Bromley, swimming shorts from JL and a Bill Evans audiophile repress from Blackwells. Better do some work Monday to pay for it all 😜

All these years on this is still a floor filler.

I know why spirituality I connect with this album. It was released in the month of my birth March 1961. I’m 65 in a weeks time and My Favourite Things has never felt more relevant.

Get on this album if you’ve not already 👏👏

Thank you Blue-in-Green:RADIO for playing our music and for the the positive words about our latest album! www.blueingreenradio.com/2026/03/new-... #jazz #radio #musicsky #jazzsky #newmusic #tango #tangoargentino

Lovely day at the National Portrait Gallery & National Gallery with MrsE. Lunch and home for the Pottery Throw-down. #RockAndRoll

42 mins 38 seconds of your life well invested in a genuinely heartwarming body of music. 🇧🇷

Currently on the turntable. Mother of the future never fails to put a smile on my face reminding me of hot, sweaty sessions in Camden. #CarlosGarnett #JazzDance

Just looking through some old photos and this one from Jordan from 2023 is still one of my favourites.

Post an album that was important to you when you were 11.

What a great venue for Witness for the prosecution #AgathaChristie

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover.

Great little vinyl find today. 1981 on Inner City Records. Ole being the standout track that I’ve heard played in the Electric Ballroom & Dingwalls on a number of occasions.

Currently playing this 1960s Boogaloo track, a great cover of Love for sale.

Friday evening and it has to be a French 75 ❤️

45 years ago today British dance music changed with the release of this wonderfully stylish pieces of new wave jazz funk. As it says on the cover #PlayLoud

New hat day. #Laird Fedora

Farage? Where is Farage? Today is the day to defend our troops after the greatest insult by Trump. Badenoch, Davey and Starmer have done it? Where is the great patriot? #traitor

Taking wages, transfer fee & add ons he’s cost Manchester United way in excess of £1m per game over his 146 appearances. Football is genuinely screwed.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Donald Trump announced changes to the National Park Service's free admission days for 2026. Martin Luther King Jr Day was removed from the list of fee-free days. Trump's birthday on June 14, which is also Flag Day, was added. This sums the pathetic excuse of a man up. #MartinLutherKingDay2026

If you know, you know. You Rrss 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Has the man no shame. It’s not his and the Nobel committee should demand its immediate return.

Not played this in a very long time. Genius of love still standing the test of time. How is this record 45 years old ❤️

Bluesky is sadly becoming like X. Not in its political leanings but yet again we have a number of accounts that feel they can take the cultural and moral high ground on social subjects. The confirmation of their rightness is astounding.

The fact this even news is insane. What a mad world we are currently living in. #BBC

Quick question #Bluesky Has there ever been a #POTUS who has invaded a sovereign state, kidnapped its leader and taken control of the country all in one day? Is this lunatic for real?
