A tiny independent not-for-profit record label in the UK. Music deserving of wider attention. Reissued for the first time on vinyl in small batches. With love. Posts by Simon.

Morning! My platelets are low so I’m back off to the hospital today to see what might need to be done. I hope your platelets are all high and mighty and you have a fab day.

From this Sunday at 7pm onwards I'll be hosting a regular show on @untidyradio.bsky.social. I'll be playing indie pop & adjacent stuff & am, as always, here to help if you have jangly stuff to share. The first show features The Felt Tips, Hazelene, The Lovely Basement, Armstrong, R.M.F.C & others x

Wow!! Doesn’t time fly?!

It’s soon to be the 18-year anniversary of the first time that we ever played with our pals, the Felt Tips.

The year was 2007 and indiepop was all the rage.

Was splendid. Actually, it was fucking brilliant. Very much looking forward to the gig in Glasgow on 22nd with The Just Joans in support.
Me and the other Felt Tips had such a great night on Saturday at The Betsey Trotwood in London. Thanks to @indiepophalloffame.bsky.social for the photos and to everyone for coming to see us celebrate the reissue of our debut album on @unspunheroes.com
A couple more photos from The Felt Tips last night - tagging @patsbus.bsky.social which I neglected to do yesterday. Take a bow one and all 👏👏 @unspunheroes.com

£450,000 one-bed studio apartment. No chain. Suit first time buyers. Surrey/London fringes. Needs some modernisation.

Was a brilliant night. Both bands on top form, as was @petepaphides.bsky.social. And the crowd? Exceptional.
Joyous gig from The Felt Tips tonight. So much fun! @unspunheroes.com

NEW! Columbo Decorations! Celebrating perhaps the greatest tv detective. They can be sent as cards and hung as decorations, the versatility is astounding!
Just one more thing...head on over to heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com for these and LOADS of other quality merchandise.

Home now. New medication, the side effects of which do not make for easy reading.

Anyway, enough of my personal health battles, it's dull. I'll post music stuff from now on. Need a cuppa first.
A morning at the hospital for me today. I’ve switched my watch to NHS time, and I have a book.

Customer feedback is the best feedback (especially when it’s like this!)
I bragged about getting a copy. Now spinning..*jaw drops*.
This cannot possibly be topped as the release of the year. An absolute revelation👏 & reference level mastering, pressing and production. Just wow😳

I don’t normally get involved in politics here because, well, because… but this story is giving me massive Dayum Burger vibes, and there’s no bad reason to watch that classic of the genre.

Went to @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social and found some.

Well, the call with the label went fantastically well. They're an indie so we bonded over a love of music. Now we move on to the next stage.
I’ve no idea how I might afford it, but the first possible Unspun Heroes release of 2026 inches a little closer. Meeting being arranged for this week with the label.

The finances will be worked out when I know what that might entail.

This is the one of interest to John Martyn fans, btw.
