I work, I make music, I drink beer. I don’t “collect” records I just buy ones I like and they tend to accumulate.

And we continue falling down the rabbit hole of nostalgia with In The Flat Field from Bauhaus. One of my favourite releases from 1980.

Gave this an outing this morning for the first time this century and it still plays and sounds as good now as it did when I was 15.

My ticket for the filming of Shine So Hard in Buxton Jan ‘81. I was 16 and dressed totally inappropriately for the sub zero temps. T shirt and thin camo jacket. It was HOT inside tho.

Not yet 2 weeks into 2025 and we have,
The most costly wildfire in US history,
The coldest UK temperature for decades,
‘That’ inauguration looming and the doomsday clock now stands at 90 seconds to midnight..
