It’s definitely not ‘Steve Wrights Sunday morning love songs’ but two VERY different tormented love songs for #weekendsingles from 1981 & 1982 #thehumanleague #dontyouwantme #joydivision #lovewilltearusapart #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

And in a darkened underpass I thought oh god my time has come at last..

18th July 1973, Bruce Springsteen began a legendary four-night residency at Max's Kansas City in New York City. His opening act was Bob Marley and the Wailers, who were embarking on their first-ever North American tour. #BruceSpringsteen #BobMarley

Excellent couple of new albums released this week. Need to watch the bank balance when taking a Saturday morning trip to the record shop though 🫣 #niaarchives #emotionaljunglist #yardact #youregonnaneedalittlemusic #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

Summer garden Sunflowers in full bloom. Bring all the Bees to my yard 😁 #gardenbees #bumblebees

Beautiful Hummingbird Moth on my Verbena right now ❤️ #ukmoths #hummingbird

On This Day 1998 - Beastie Boys The Beastie Boys went to No.1 on the UK album chart with 'Hello Nasty', only the second rap album to make No.1 in the UK, the first being Wu-Tang Clan. #BeastieBoys #HelloNasty #HiphopSaturday #Vinyl

I’m off to the record shop this morning but before I do let’s give this a quick spin to get #weekendsingles under way. #thepolice #cantstandlosingyou #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #nowplaying

Double reason to give this beautiful vinyl from 1983 a play today. #12inchtuesday #bastilleday #vivelafrance #thestylecouncil #paulweller #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

Let’s get #weekendsingles underway with this absolute beauty from 1979 #theundertones #jimmyjimmy #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

Watching the Tour De France highlights on CH5 you realise just how good the ITV team were. Would love to hear Imlac, Boulting and Ligget again. #TDF2026

Stop boosting him. Stop using his name, it just feeds more column inches, headlines, photos of him drinking a pint, drives advertising revenue, crypto scams, dodgy donors, political theatre and self-promotion. Start referring to him as the former MP of Clacton.

Good Morning #vinylrecords #vinyl

“C'Mon Billy” by PJ Harvey #nowplaying #6music

I’m genuinely glad Channel 5 has free to air Tour de France highlights but blimey how poor can they be, awful bland, no insights and such a plastic puppet of a presenter. Dreadful if compared to the hallowed days of ITV & Channel 4. #tdf26 #tourdefrance

The lunatics have taken over the asylum… On Sky Arts now, Terry is so missed 😢 Can’t believe I didn’t get tickets for this back then😩 #thespecials #2tone #rudeboys

Happy Tour de France stage 1 day! ❤️🚴‍♂️

Only one possible record to play today ! #kraftwerk #tourdefrance #tdf26 #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #nowplaying #cycling

“Tour De France” by Kraftwerk #nowplaying #6music

This tune is to cycling what Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain is to F1 racing. Pure memories evoked from the mid 1980’s #tourdefrance #tdf26 youtube.com/watch?v=FTYq...

I’m going to miss this so much tomorrow, but the wait is nearly over #tourdefrance #tdf26 youtube.com/watch?v=xlh4...

Just finished the new Poggi book from @andy-mcgrath.bsky.social . Slots in nicely alongside Merckx ! #tdf26 #tourdefrance

107 years ago today, the first Tour de France to use the iconic yellow jersey began in 1919. Eugène Christophe was the first man to wear the Yellow Jersey at the 11th stage on the 19th July 1919. artandhue.com/tour

Blimey it’s a bit cloudy in Dorset today ☀️ #stillonholiday #stillsupersunny

The end of my weeks homage to Paul Weller ends with this rarity from 1994 #cassunday #paulweller #outofthesinking

The opening suite ("Prologue" through "Tour de France Étape 3") is the album's masterpiece. Tiny rhythmic shifts mimic changes in cadence while processed breathing, bicycle chains and whispered vocoders blur the line between athlete and machine. #NowPlaying #Kraftwerk 🎧

Another beautiful addition freshly emerged this morning. Emperor Dragonfly or Southern Hawker ? #dragonflies #wildlifepond #gardenponds

Nearly 3pm, the last day of my week off and it’s still blisteringly hot . Only half a bottle left so be rude to just ignore it. Cheers to all 🥂☀️☀️🥂 #minutywine #summertime

“Out of Space” by The Prodigy #nowplaying #6music

The Jam’s Setting Sons album from 1979 with track 5 ‘Heatwave’ seems perfect for today’s #wellerwednesday #thejam #settingsons #heatwave #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

“Tender” by Blur #nowplaying #6music

#MeinSongDesTages #SongOfTheDay R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (1987)

Exactly 10 years since the Brexit vote, the verdict is in.

Not that there’s any dancing going on around here ! Collapsing with a pint of Cider more like, but here’s two great dance singles from 1984 & 1990 for #12inchtuesday #thesoupdragons #malcolmmclaren #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

A nod to Stevie Wonder’s amazing premonition from 1980 ☀️☀️☀️ #hotterthanjuly #steviewonder #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #nowplaying

Happy 10 years of Brexit 💃💃💃

Ten years ago today the whole country and its future were sacrificed on the altar of Boris Johnson’s ego, David Cameron’s stupidity and Nigel Farage’s prejudice. A decade thrown away and a nation left angrier and poorer. Thanks, you absoute pricks.

John’s got brewer’s droop. He gets intimidated by the dirty ladybirds. #parklife

Father’s Day gets better by the hour. I’m already enjoying the wine and now my daughter turns up with this ❤️❤️

Some lovely words by our President for #WorldHumanistDay

Weather appropriate tunes this morning ☀️☀️☀️ #longhotsummer #thestylecouncil #paulweller #vinylcommunity #vinylrevords #nowplaying

I love seeing these crazy beasts emerging from my wildlife pond then finding these stunning creatures in my garden (greenhouse on this occasion today) #Emperordragonfly #dragonflies #wildlifepond

What better tape to get out on the Summer Solstice than this superb offering from 1996 NME #cassunday #NME #herecomesthesummer
