MDANT but much duller than you remember from T*itt*r. Ex-record shop owner still banging on about music, pubs, books and West Ham ⚒️
It's all nonsense of course. Cheers 🍻

Plantoid - Flare [Bella Union 2026]

It's stopped raining and there's something unfamiliar and bright in the sky
What better time to walk through the woods listening to Eleanor Parker's book?

Haggis, neeps 'n tatties (with a whisky cream sauce to die for) - all free and gratis by the way - plus the best beer in the south

Only one of the reasons why The Crown is the Surrey CAMRA Pub Of The Year

Off to the pub for some haggis, whisky and blatant cultural appropriation

Now I don't mind not knowing about new bands, but how the hell have I missed this lot for 20 years?

Out today. Now playing new release...

The Just Joans - Romantic Visions Of Scotland [The Just Joans 2026]

...seemingly their eighth album. Every day's a school day

Out today. Now playing new release...

PVA - No More Like This [It's All For Fun Records 2026]

...not a band I know, but singer Ella Harris seems to have a similar detached delivery style to Dry Cleaning's Florence Shaw, so that works for me

Pelican - Ascending [Run For Cover Records 2026]

The mad old bastards are back

Out today - now playing new release...

The Damned - Not Like Everybody Else [earMusic 2026]

...an album of cover versions, newly-recorded in memory of founding member Brian James, who probably had a better record collection than they did

"Oh, you like prog rock, you must love Yes" Well, no actually

My favourite Yes album, and the only one I owned at the time, is Drama with Horn and Downes

So with great trepidation, and for the very first time ever, now playing...

Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans [Atlantic Records 1973]
