Did I mention how chuffed I am with my #vinylsanta present. Really looking forward to playing them. Thank you to whoever sent them, you’re a diamond.

Wow, just wow, thanks #vinylsanta. I thought twice about participating this year - living with a terminal diagnosis makes all aspects of normal life a strange anxiety-ridden experience. But my wife insisted that just a little bit of normal would be beneficial. Whoever sent me this lot, thank you.

If you can spare a few bob in memory of our Late, Resident Thespian Vince @golfyfun.bsky.social it would be appreciated.

He was a big fan and supporter of @vinylsanta.bsky.social as well as being a bloody fine human being.

Miss him a lot

Cheers & Thank You 🍺🍺

It’s taken since February but my PIP review is complete. It’s been extended to December 2035 which is extremely ambitious to say the least. It might fly in the face of others’ experience but the person who interviewed me over the phone was kind and empathic.

That’s nice. Mermaid Chunky on Late Junction. Really enjoyed their set at End of the Road last year.

NP: a fairly recent discovery. Out of my comfort zone to some extent but very listenable.
November 29, 2025 at 9:24 PM
NP: another fine album
November 28, 2025 at 8:03 PM
Deep joy, I’m in diarrhoea week of my chemo cycle. But anyway I’ve been listening to some of Van’s more recent back catalogue and this album has some great songs on it.

Some chazza jazz acquired today. And Scott!
November 24, 2025 at 6:46 PM
NP: revisiting old favourites via this comp, a recent acquisition.
November 18, 2025 at 1:27 PM
So sorry to read of the passing away of Ian Marchant. A fine author and a lovely chap. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
November 16, 2025 at 12:51 PM
NP; another recent acquisition. Like it more than I thought I might.
November 12, 2025 at 3:26 PM
NP; recently acquired following a recommendation on here.
November 12, 2025 at 1:13 PM
Recent acquisitions. Not a name unknown to me but not really ever taken much notice. Silly me.
November 9, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Samir Zitouni. Remember that name.

Oxfordshire chazza booty, not cheap but feel the quality.

Getting a lot of invitations today to join groups on Discogs. Am assuming these are scams and deleting upon receipt.
October 28, 2025 at 2:29 PM
Found for me today at a local chazza. Very pleased.
October 26, 2025 at 5:35 PM
There was a sale on! £13.50 the lot.

NP a chazza acquisition from earlier in the week.
October 17, 2025 at 7:18 PM
I was supposed to be reading my Wodehouse TBR pile, not adding to it. And a couple of musical punts, the Dury completely passed me by upon release.
