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 can't now remember where I stumbled upon this, but it still delights me. 'It maws to call its puppies'

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money.
I was 11 years old, and Disraeli Gears was already five years old. I liked bright colours and gimmicks at that age: next was Stand Up by Jethro Tull, and then Led Zeppelin III.

I found this on my camera roll today but I can't remember where it originally came from. 'Don't eat there, you'll be fleeced', etc

A very happy 77th birthday to Christian Vander. Whenever I feel like succumbing to abject despair, which is kind of a default tendency these days, I think about the miracle of Magma ever even existing, and that reminds me that we actually live in a world of wonders despite bloody everything.

Happy 32nd birthday to this, which I remember thinking at the time was the most commendably, insanely concentrated splat of every great pop idea at once. 'The Ghost At Number One' would have been a No.1 in a world where SMiLE was actually released in 1967: and 'Russian Hill' is uncannily beautiful.

Happy eight anniversary to this perplexing job post. I've come to ask you for a braise. We're anticipating some cuts. The future of the company is at steak. Something like that.

No cheating.
Your last saved celebrity pic is now your therapist. I'd be so fine with this.

Happy eighth anniversary to that time I nearly bought this until I realised it wasn't a 45rpm single, but just a cardboard box cut to size and used as a divider

The Loch Ness Monster doc on @channel4.bsky.social at the moment has reminded me of an exchange I had with a bloke at the car hire desk in Inverness Airport.
Me: That model of Nessie is a nice, welcoming touch
Him: That's a chair we haven't assembled yet

'Catch Us If You Can' in the UK, this is a cut above the gormless norm for cash-in pop flicks, with a couple of surprisingly downbeat sequences. There's also a great tune on the soundtrack which cemented my belief that the DC5 were covert jazzbos until I belatedly discovered it was by Basil Kirchin.

Portrait of the young doof as a Charles Laughton impersonator, 1982. I bought that Morris Minor for £100, and I miss it more than mere words can express.

Terrific film. And you get to see John Hurt toying with a Vocoder, which would have sold the movie to me in and of itself.

Many thanks to Pete Fisher on the FB Melody Maker group for posting this pic. I interviewed Arthur Brown about the whole Puddletown episode, and it was eye-opening and jaw-dropping. Eye dropping. Jaw opening. High Tide lived just down the lane from Arthur and his cohort of crazies.

Got to love 1960s graphic design. But that typesetting is inexplicably, unpardonably unruly.
