Still waiting for the Great Leap Forward. Music is my main love. Well music, food, the dog, photography, whisky….did I mention food?
Thank You to the wonderful @foxlanebooks.bsky.social for today’s delivery. I need to pick up the new Wings compilation album now 😀

Wait…does this count as an album ?

I love this record. My copy is stashed away, having been sold to me by @billybragg.bsky.social himself after a gig at Reading University December 83. Looking forward to seeing him this Saturday.

If you get the chance to see Stewart Copeland on his book tour then I’d urge you to go. He’s a funny and engaging raconteur. A really fun evening in Bristol

A debut album and an only album. Loved this bunch back then….post punk folk horror from Worcestershire #5debutalbums8084

Another great evening @rnrbook-club.bsky.social with Kevin Rowland.

Today’s discovery which I guess you all know about already…a spiritual jazz/funk/experimental record from the 70s ‘A Spirit Speaks’ by The Descendants of Mike & Phoebe…put together by Bill Lee, Spike Lee’s dad. Wonderful album that is added to my digging list…

Bit of crate digging at the dump this afternoon…

Well that was a terrible bus journey and this is my current view of Saint Etienne. It sounds like that’s @petepaphides.bsky.social in the distance!

Must remind myself to move to London….

Likewise. Picked it up in a shop in Reading in 81 or 82. Never been able to get that sticker off…

Will probably go up to that there London next weekend to see this archive of Mick Jones. Looks like it’s near Mile End tube station in east London.

Anyone for The Dancing Did? Early 80s Worcestershire folk horror. I loved ‘em…

In my thistle was this very cool spiders web, pulling the leaves in to form a sphere. I think the culprit is the red beastie in the second picture.

I’m me of the saddest days of the year when have to accept that my globe thistle has had its day and it is time to cut it back. I need to work out how to keep those seeds and do something productive with them…

From my sunflower and sweetcorn patch to the bbq. Trying to find my barbecue mojo again…
