Look at this little love, absolutely being a dog.
This dog politely asked for a musician's drumstick in the middle of their performance. Always excited to find a fellow stick lover. 12/10

If you do nothing else today, listen to this slice of screwy c.1961 genius and feel joy returning. What a vocal! Yochanan claimed to have been born on the sun, and I believe him.

RIP, the great Roy Phillips. I posted this clip on FB yesterday and it's cued yet another period of obsessing about The Peddlers, who fitted nowhere yet everywhere. What a voice. What superb Hammond playing. What everything.

I just opened the door to get rid of this fly and another one flew in instead. It's like I'm some kind of lord of something-or-other

I was thinking about this terrific live-in-the-studio clip earlier on, and how I'd never even noticed that there's no bass in Whiskey In The Jar before I first saw this about six years ago. It's never too late to have your ears syringed.

Holy hell. So it's half a century since the 13-year-old me edged apologetically into the original Virgin store in Glasgow and bought this. The kindly hippy behind the counter threw a handful of Kevin Coyne beermats into the record bag, so it's his fault that I turned to drink

Decided to give away this entire pile of my 2022 book Notebook for the price of postage today. If you can pay more, great. If not, no problem. Pop a reply below if you'd like one. It's a short, silly book, but sometimes a bit serious, too, and people tell me it's a good easy gateway to my writing.

It's official: I now own the rights to my books again! Today's newsletter is about why I took them back from my publisher, and how you can get hold of signed copies of them (without giving money to that same publisher)... tomcox.substack.com/p/hurray-i-n...?

A very happy birthday to Eddy Grant. I sometimes find it difficult to imagine a group more suited to my particular leanings than The Equals, and this fantastic clip is Exhibit A.
