Debating removing my TV from the living room to create more space for my record deck. TV gets used maybe twice a year, I watch everything on laptop or tablet. Meanwhile record deck has only 2 or 3 inches space above (suboptimal) and is used daily.

A fantastic album which I feel honoured to have played a tiny part in.

Made space for more of my record collection in the living room, so I've brought a few more downstairs from ontop of my wardrobe. Including this, right up there amongst my favourite live albums. #Rush , A Show Of Hands. A band I'm so grateful I got to see live.

This is helping me rediscover my "heavier" side 🤘 If only I still had the hair... 🙄🎧
Glad I got my pre-amp "issue" sorted, this beauty arrived today. Ltd edition splatter vinyl of @finalcoil.bsky.social's magnificent "The World We Inherited". With a hand written "thank you" card, which I really appreciated. Looking forward to the alluded to next project. Now to spin this bad boy!

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.
They promise you that.
And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

I bought this a few days ago but needed a bit of time one evening to dedicate to a proper listen. Really enjoyed it, hints of Vangelis at times maybe? Andrew Hartshorn, “Sketches For The Requiem”.
I’ve enjoyed lots of great music from this label over the last couple of years.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen.
Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.
