For all the vast sums spent on pop videos when MTV virtually decided the charts, it's amazing how these guys consistently make simple, probably cheap, videos. A band, a handheld camera, and a convertible give you this.

It's often said that the first music video was Bohemian Rhapsody, but they'd been around long before that. Often weird, but frequently interesting. Syd's close ups here are quite something.

As pop videos become largely obsolete, I figure it's time to show them some love. This one from 1977 is almost the father of MTV. It's imaginative, entertaining, and in parts looks like Spike Milligan/Monty Python. The music is good too!

Just found out that, where I am at least, the whole of My Name is Earl (which I rarely caught, but always enjoyed) is available to stream for free.

Today is a good day.

Essentially made just to prove they could make an LP without splitting up/dying, Aerosmith managed to make one hell of a record. If they'd messed this up, it would've been the end.

Possibly one of the all time great live albums, famously recorded just to keep the Japanese record company happy.

Just saw that former Yardbird Chris Dreja has died. You'd think that'd get a mention in the press... Not many people got to play guitar alongside Clapton, Beck and Page. Even fewer had Page on bass!

Holder of the prize for "most well known, deeply problematic, record sleeve", Blind Faith's only LP is a lesson in leaving space for the music to breathe. It's also one of the last times, for me, that Clapton was interesting.

One of the truly great live LPs, just try to forget the lyrics to Stray Cat Blues being even more, shall we say 'problematic', than the studio version...

A day walking aimlessly in London is a wonderful way to while away the hours. I don't think I could ever tire of that place. Looking at the Thames and remembering that it's tidal and has beaches right in the heart of the city always provokes a smile!

Probably the last truly great Sabbath LP, but what a run they'd had! Even this one, created under huge legal pressure, managed, in 6 1/2 minutes, to invent Thrash Metal (obvs, being Sabbath, the end of the track was very different).

If you want to know where British blues begins, it begins here - Blues Incorporated. Alexis Korner, Cyril Davies and Dick Heckstall-Smith absolutely launched the blues in the UK. John Mayall followed in their footsteps. Without them, no Rolling Stones.

One of those that largely flew under the radar. Cracking album, great musicians everywhere, and very Zeppelin in places. The big question is, why no follow up?

Quite amazing how such a great band now fly largely under the radar. This is a cracking little tune, with a great video, that's now largely forgotten. If you've never checked them out, do yourself a favour.

The one they almost immediately disowned, but it's actually a cracking little LP. This is what '80s Queen could've been, had they held their nerve.

The only LP I've ever been almost evangelical about. It really is vinyl perfection. If you haven't heard it, you actually need to hear it.

Not long now until Oasis reveal their new versions of old favourites, now heavily influenced by the music of Chas and Dave.

"Don't look back in anger, have a banana!"

Storming set, and I can more than forgive the voice not being what it was, but can someone tell John Fogerty CCR's heyday was almost 60 years ago. The hair dye is kidding exactly no-one.

@sumsung.bsky.social Your new version of Android really is full of bugs. Any chance of either rolling back to the version that worked, or getting a load of fixes? Even just having a working Home button would be nice.

Samsung's latest version of android really is incredibly buggy. Home button doesn't work, some apps cannot function, it seems to be designed for a screen shape Samsung doesn't make, keyboard looks horrific, system is suddenly very laggy...

Next time, maybe test it before it escapes.
