Good video, and I would argue that from Colour of Spring onwards, they sounded out of time and place, and to be honest still do

Two weeks ago, Peter Mandelson told us he had no recollection of planning to buy a £2m apartment in Rio via a Panama holding company and a Brazilian company.

Yesterday we found notarised incorporation documents for the Brazilian company, with Mr Mandelson's signature.

One of my favourite albums ever. Absolutely love this record from Macca.

The UK first press sounds incredibly dynamic and vivid.

This is really the ultimate late night record, but it's on the deck on Friday morning.

'No One Cares' by Frank

New cart on the LP12 last week, and this sounds just stunning.

Planning application should be rejected for political illiteracy, using the Crowned Portcullis of the (Westminster) Houses of Parliament, rather than the crowned Saltire banner of the Holyrood parliament that the pub is opposite 🧐
(I assume they aren't actually allowed to use either official emblem)

Good start to the new and expanded #superleague season
York Knights v HKR being played in a nice looking stadium. Difficult task for the new boys but they are giving a decent account of themselves. They might flag as the game goes on but 4-0 after 20 mins is a start

Sorting through a folder containing posters for bands I’ve been in and gigs I’ve attended through the years and came across this memory of a great show from 1985. I seem to recall MS wearing a lounge suit with “Live Bear” painted on the back. @remhq.bsky.social 🎼👍🎼

Watching a programme on TV then joining the “appreciation society” (not a fan club, oh no 😉😆) is totally normal. Decent writing too 👌
