Ah no, not Mani. I heard Made Of Stone the week it come out, a week wont have gone by where I havent listened to it since.

My hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind...

Got to love autumn sunshine.

Prog rock wankers giving it the bigs
I hate that horrific novelty record you did about pigs
Dear Pink Floyd,
It was over a decade between you having a top ten hit
That’s because your music became total shit.
There is a band a lot of people think great
Who went on past their sell by date
Was it “Run like Hell”
Or “The Division Bell”?
No, was around February ‘68.

Had all these as a teenager, just managed to re-complete the set as my ogs have vanished in Mums loft!

I loved the diy indie scene in the late 80s. Still got all the flexis and 7s they released too.

There is a great compilation CD called Ten Little Records that collects all of the tracks up.

1st day back at work after a couple of weeks off. As much as I am lucky to do something I enjoy, the dread of the inbox, WhatsApps and site issues is a killer.

Great break though, good for the soul. Can recommend autumn Turkey to anyone. Much more relaxed than the 100mph/100°c summers.

Animals by Pink Floyd is a work of art.

Picked this up from @noiseannoys78.bsky.social a few weeks ago and did a vinyl rip for our holidays. Liverpool at that time, wow.

Early Teardrops and Bunnymen, Big In Japan and Wild Swans also. Cheap to pick up too. Highly recommended as a great snapshot of such a fertile place and time.

My one concession to a casual past, love me a pair of Gazelles.

Great picture from the Chester end at Morecambe last Saturday. Chester had just equalised in the 94th minute.

Football is so much more than the Premier League.

Up The Seals in tonight's replay 🦭

*I know pyro is dangerous, illegal, stinks etc but it makes for a hell of a photo.

Walking around the Aegean coast in Turkey in October listening to Mudhoney is just what the doctor ordered.

That and Tramadol for a frozen shoulder.

Slowly working my way through the graphic novels of Alan Moore. Read From Hell and V for Vendetta earlier this year, kept this beauty for our holidays and it is so good.

Any recommendations where to go next?

This is a brilliant record. I never normally buy live LPs, but heard a track on 6music when it came out. Its got such a lovely feel for an outside recording.

It makes for lovely late night company.

For once using Virgin broadband paid off. Got my 2 SFA tickets for Llandudno via the Priority app.

By the time my band pre-sale link came through they'd all gone.

God showed me magic I guess!

In a pub in Bodedern having my tea as come straight from work for the Gruff Rhys show tonight here.

Gruff having his tea two tables across. Its like being in the presence of a mythical being.

Holy shitballs. The greatest British band since the Stone Roses.

Fingers and toes crossed for Llandudno.

A new album to follow...?

Gruff tomorrow night in Bodedern first.

Dim probs.
