England seemed to him to be nothing but horrors and misery now. The very shapes of the trees were like frozen screams.
Alice just made an omelette so divine that I would give it a Michelin star if I had the authority to do so.

My favourite song. It never appeared on an album. It's just the best B side that ever happened. (Yes, Rain is great but this is better)

I've been cleaning some old LPs with a view to sell. I can't sell this one, it's just too good. Memories of my double paper round in the late 80s that funded my early onset vinyl addition.

I spent a few hours trying to value a load of 1990s 12" dance/trip hop/drum n bass singles today. Most are worth next to nothing, but the Mo Wax stuff seems to be increasingly in demand and valuable.

Who's singing lead vocals on this? It certainly doesn't sound like Gruff. Great song either way.

Somehow, my son's band have landed a gig at BIMM in London. It's like a battle of the bands thing in front of lots of music company executives. *THEY HAVEN'T WRITTEN A SINGLE SING YET* It's in 2 weeks, they're going with I Don't Need You Anymore by The Kinks & Losing Touch with my Mind by Spacemen 3

It feels like once a day, every day, a photograph emerges from America that will still be in use 30/40/50 years from now to illustrate the dire situation that the US appears to be in.

Help! We have finally broken into this 1980 jukebox and it has some life in it. However, it only plays a single song then just stops. Anybody know anything about these contraptions?

Age verification. I saw John Craven reading the news about John Lennon's death. I only had one LP at that point and it was a Beatles album that my gran had bought me.

#NowPlaying I am loving this album. A 1970 private set of demos by a guy who was heavily involved in the early days of what would later become Pink Floyd. A lovely mixture of 60s psych pop and whimsical English folk. I'm hoping that @scribblerrob.bsky.social knows a little bit more about him.

Does anybody happen to have a Rough Trade vinyl copy of Virginia Astley's From Gardens Where We Feel Secure that they are prepared to sell? Has to be a minimum of VG/VG. Genuinely asking for a friend.

I'm no Labour voter, but this is fucking ridiculous.
it will really be something if the Epstein Files unseat a British Prime Minster who isn't in them, and not the American President who was Epstein's best friend.

I haven't seen anyone mention this. Have I got my facts wrong? I'm sure this was their debut album. Anyway, it's great. Their next album was even better but not many people seemed to like it.

OK, I was obviously being a bit overdramatic earlier, we've actually got quite a few decent albums from that period.

The funny thing about this era of music is that I was the manager of a Virgin Megastore throughout this period and it was so stressful and awful that I completely lost interest in new music. Pretty sure that I don't even own 5 debut albums from back then.

Listening to certain artists can sometimes feel like being invited into their minds for a while. Mayo Thompson, David Berman, Skip Spence and the like are all excellent hosts. I feel like Michael Hurley is definitely in the same league. Songs that just radiate charm & warmth.
