I stumbled on a 99p bargain CD copy of Breakout on 'cogs only to find the seller had a £1 minimum order. Needing to spend only 1p I ended up filling my boots with these gems at bargain prices. The Merle Haggard is a modern 180g reissue and looks unplayed #ReggaeSky #weekendsingles #FunkSky
The CD reissue of the album Breakout by Louisa 'Markswoman' Mark. Louisa is sat in a leather armchair in a suspiciously real looking fur stole and a floppy cream hat on the cover Three twelve inch singles: I Wanna Do The Do by Bobby Thurston, Don't You Love It by Maxine Singleton, a white label promo of Everlasting Love by Marie Krystal and the seven inch single Rain by Dorothy Morrison on Elektra A modern reissue of the album Swinging Doors And The Bottle Let Me Down by Merle Haggard and the Strangers

Washing up soundtrack
The album To The World by Rudy Romero. The cover features a pen and ink drawing of an open living room door. Through the open door is a colour photo of planet Earth seen from space. What my photo doesn't really do justice to is that this is a gatefold sleeve and the open door is die-cut and the photo of Earth is actually inside the gatefold sleeve

This is every bit as funky as you would expect and Bang Records have a splendid label #FunkSky
The album cover of Born To Get Down by The Muscle Shoals Horns Close up of the record label with the very colourful Bang Records logo (each letter is in a different colourful pattern)

One of the first records that got me into reggae and, despite having nearly worn the grooves smooth over the years, it still sounds magnificent. The segue from The Invasion into its dub version Black Wa Da Da is sublime #ReggaeSky

Five CDs of Beach Boys hits and rarities from a charity shop this morning. It's missing the booklet but still has the retro transfer. All I need now is a 'woodie' station wagon to stick it on 🏄🏻

I am trying to decide whether this is accidental or deliberate top-trolling in the dedications on the back of this Chas Smash solo album 🤣
The dedication reads: "To my teacher's I am indebted, for all the lessons gratefully received."

“Nigel Farage is on QT more times than Fiona Bruce”

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.
Minority representation on TV causes outrage There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television. Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.”

Some interesting bits and bobs from Age UK this morning. I've been after 4 From 8 for ages and, whilst it wasn't cheap, the vinyl, sleeve and insert look to be in good condition. Cathal Smyth is better known as Chas Smash. I know I'm going to love Feed The Flame just from the cover 😂
Five charity shop LPs: 4 From 8 by Real Thing, Easy by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Beat The Street (The Very Best Of) by Sharon Redd, A Comfortable Man by Cathal Smyth (aka Chas Smash from Madness) and Feed The Flame by Lorraine Johnson

Birds but they get spookier each time. 🎃👻

Enter if you dare...🚪
A black background decorated with gold illustrations of branches, stars, swords, ravens, and tiny ghost shapes. In the centre, bold text reads: “BIRDS BUT THEY GET SPOOKIER EACH TIME.” Two ravens perch on bare branches at the bottom, with candles glowing beside them.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
