Ian Dury - New Boots And Panties #nowplaying Just back from having my lugholes un-bunged at Specsavers. Treating my newly-restored orifices to this new addition. My Mum used to play it when I was 13, but I was too obsessed by Rush and Led Zeppelin to pay much attention. Many years later, I like it!

XTC - Skylarking #nowplaying It’s a close race, but my favourite XTC album.

Field Music - Limits Of Language #nowplaying Another masterpiece from my favourite currently active British band.

Faust - Faust IV #nowplaying Kosmische Musik in places, surprisingly melodic and accessible in others.

Beethoven String Quartets - getting started now so should be done by 4.30 am 👍🏼

Steve Hillage - Fish Rising #nowplaying Steve put it all out there with this one - one of my fave Hillage albums (along with Green and Rainbow Dome)

Starting the day with this. Always so much great new music to investigate. Oh, it’s eclectic alright. 👍🏼

Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die #nowplaying Amazing that after listening to rock music for nearly 50 years I can still discover amazing bands that passed me by at the time. Have gone Tortoise-mad lately after hearing the excellent @discordpod.bsky.social episode about this album! 🙏

Tonight’s CD listening: John Scofield - Still Warm & Captain Beefheart - The Spotlight Kid

Robert Fripp - Exposure. My third different vinyl mix/version of this Top 5-for-me album. A lovely find at A Ray Of Delight in Arundel at the weekend. #nowplaying #vinyl
