I organise my CDs by first name.
Bob Dylan is under B
Neil Young is under N
With the exception of artists that start with ‘The’ (which I ignore and file under the letter of the next word) I have achieved alphabetical purity.
Isn’t sorting by surnames just a throw back to a more formal era?

I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m starting to think that Dr. Pepper may actually have some sort of secret medical benefit…

I don’t hate AC/DCs Bon Scott era. But I’ve always preferred Brian Johnson’s voice. The ‘92 live album is the perfect mix of great earlier tunes and 2nd wave classics all sung by Brian. An absolute essential listen in my view. Not everyone will like that take though…

I bought this mug a month before any were sent out. Used it very day. Ran it through the dishwasher about 30 times. It’s great!
I didn’t plan for Evri though… I now know of 2 that didn’t make it. Let me know if yours didn’t arrive in 1 piece and I’ll replace x

The inner sleeve is water damaged, presumably because I bought it from someone who lived on a narrowboat, but otherwise great condition. Beautiful record, sounds awesome. Reckon it’s worth £100-£120. Wouldn’t sell it!

I picked up this copy of Led Zeppelin III a few years ago for £8. First press with the pinwheel sleeve, patent number for the wheel stamped on the inner, plum/red label, and etched into the dead wax it says ‘Do What Thy Wilt’ on one side and ‘So More It Be’ on the other.

Flame Red Headlights @gozergoodspeed.bsky.social is out today!
A hauntingly textured, psychedelic track that blends dream and dread, warmth and warning. Echoes of confusion, paranoia, and a sense of realisation that might just have arrived too late. Summer seems to comes with a chill this year..

On the one hand, no-one dies if we get it wrong. On the other, imagine a world without music!
I guess we are somewhere between teachers and librarians?
