Out of a random box of classical records, a personal 78 of lecture materials by Rosey E. Pool. Dutch teacher, Anne Frank’s tutor, nazi escapee, poet and civil rights activist. Also a BBC transcription disc of Gordon Heath folk songs recorded in NL, assume this was also Rosey’s.

Bought in the record department of Kenilworth’s bustling Woolie’s, the very heart of the town. I can remember plucking it from the big display of that weeks top 40, and having discussed every record with my sisters, I went with this one.

Holy fuck. You can see the exact moment his soul leaves his body
I need all of #lawsky to see this video from a Colorado appeals court livestream yesterday. I am in actual tears. Sound *incredibly* on, the subtitles will not help.

An alert, my Ring doorbell? Who is it, at my door? Is it the fucking WIND? Probably oxygen flapping around so you send me yet another notification. But the postman can come and go like a ghost.

Just a gentle reminder that, as he’s passed away, the pope obviously won’t see your jokes about him, but please be mindful that his wife and kids might.

Stereolab once came round my house to buy an amp off someone I was living with. They set up keyboards in the living room and played a tune or two, while we were all star struck upstairs.

One of the greatest pop records EVER and I will fight anyone on this. Also came in a 7” double pack with the US remix of Poison Arrow & The Look Of Love so there’s everything you need right there.

An album of ornate melancholia that could only have been created in 1968, despite frequently sounding not just pre-psychedelic but pre-20th Century. The lyrics were written by a pair of promising young men named Palin and Jones who went on to do some other things. #NowPlaying

Popped out to bakers and then picked up three big bags of records for a tenner off someone down the road from the bakers. Mad old mix with some gems in there. Plastic Penny! Dandy on Giant! And a Smith lp I don’t have.

I hope I'm not annoying anyone by banging on about this, but on the off chance you missed it and want to bag an early-bird Somethin' Else 7" then please drop me a line...
Remember a few weeks back I said I might release Desta Zion and I's long-shelved version of Eddie Cochran's Somethin' Else over the Sleng Teng rhythm? Well it's happening, but I still can't afford to press the 7", so if you want one, I'm doing an early bird presale of £11 inc P+P (UK only)...
