It’s was always going to be a Pet Shop Boys disco today for #CDFriday.
Anxiously awaiting Disco 5 shipping info from the US store. It ships from a warehouse 20 miles north of me.

It seemed silly to fly all the way to London and only attend one of the Pet Shop Boys’ shows. ✌️

Fellow US Petheads, as you plan the feasibility of an April London trip, a reminder that the full Dreamworld show, complete with “Go West” (😒), is streaming on PBS.

Crowded House for #CDFriday from the 25¢ library stash. I bought this back in 1991 in a longbox, one of my first CDs. I really liked the lead single, “Chocolate Cake,” but never vibed with the rest of the album back then. Much more my speed now.

From the UMG US store you’ll save just $10 over ordering from the UK.
Sales and site discounts currently do not apply. My guess is that changes once it’s released.
But this also means your local record store will have easy access to it.

First up from this week’s library store stash. A bit of a lesser known sophistipop guy that leans heavily into jazzy pop on this 1997 album.
Good luck with full color 6-panel inserts on streaming!
#CDFriday also becoming #ReadersFriday so I can read the liner notes.

25% shipping from the UK on the new Style Council Cafe Bleu releases. 🤞 for a US option the recent 7” reissues never got.
Will be rad to have the live shows on something other than YooToob and fan stream pages.

In the year 2025 I’m still discovering new-to-me old music, including this one from Factory Records. Great upbeat,danceable jazz on this 1990 release. The band at times included Andy Connell of Swing Out Sister and most of A Certain Ratio.
