Formal introduction (if'n you don't know by now)...
I'm Jules. I sing. I strum the guitar. I sometimes write things.
I also dig stand-up, space, art, animals, books, snooker and cycling.
I lost Gill, the yin to my yang, in 2019. This feed is dedicated to her.

In 2023, Rhino issued a vinyl-only test pressing version of Todd Rundgren's Runt LP. It featured the songs Baby Let's Swing, The Last Thing You Said and Don't Tie My Hands in full (they were later edited into a medley). Two years on and I've still not heard these complete tracks. Can anyone help?

Musician types - if any of you can be arsed to work out what the chords are for this song, I'd appreciate it.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

This set includes perhaps the filthiest track I've ever dropped as a dj. Pure and absolute gutter.
My show The Kwoo Void is on 6pm local time over at listen.dublindigitalradio.com/home ! (just under an hour from now). Had a lot of fun mixing this one up!

In everything she did
Even if it might be wrong
That's why she stayed so long

Underrated tracks by The Who, an occasional series...
7. Circles, single b-side
Recorded twice, but never really got its chance to shine. It was briefly the b-side of Substitute before legal wrangles led to it being replaced. The Who's greatest ever 45 pairing? I think so.

6. Daily Records, from Face Dances
At first it sounds like they're covering Sloop John B, before it turns into a catchy, poppy tune about growing older and making music. It's lovely to hear Pete playing a Rickenbacker again.

Look what flopped through my letterbox this morning, it's Norfolk's Pocket Todd Rundgren @heathensquirrel.bsky.social
Do I like? Obviously! Country tinged harmony drenched power psych pop (with surprise codas, lots of surprise codas!)
Kids, make this man rich (not too rich)
To the charts with you!

I slept really badly last night.
Partly because I was too hot (rare at this time of year) and partly because I knew I had to get up earlyish for the plumber.
The plumber did good though.
Then I had an afternoon power nap on the sofa.
I've just given my hair a trim.
I think I may make it out tonight.

5. Dogs, single a-side
It may sound more like The Small Faces than The Who, and no, it wasn't a big hit (it tends to get left off most of the compilations) but hardcore Who fans love it anyway.
