This is the #DolbyAtmos release I’ve been waiting for the most - @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social’s 2025 mixes of The Who’s “Who Are You” - ‘Had Enough’ and ‘905’ burst out of my Atmos set-up, like audio lava. The layered vocals on ‘Had Enough’ 💋.

👍 @super-deluxe.bsky.social another quality release.

RIP Danny Thompson. If you are a fan of #70s / #80s music, you would have heard some of his wonderful bass playing, one of my favourites being @davidsylvian.bsky.social’s ‘The Ink In The Well’ from “Brilliant Trees”.

RIP #StephenLuscombe - one half of the original line-up of Blancmange, who had a string of infectious hits in the early to mid #80s.

RIP Rick Davies of Supertramp, who has died aged 81. What a catalogue of music, from prog to perfect pop…

Happy 46th birthday to The Stranglers “Duchess” single from 1979, still
one of my favourite singles from the era.

God forbid”

Spending the morning rediscovering the synthpop of “New York, London, Paris, Munich” by M, from 1979. There was so much more to Robin Scott’s M beyond the massive hit ‘Pop Muzik’. #70sMusic #80sMusic #MusicSky

Thanks to Shane at @charltonathletic.bsky.social’s club shop, who true to his word, emailed me when The Woolwich retro #cafc top was back in stock (I missed the limited release earlier this year as unwell in hospital). So happy to have this iconic top at last! #90s #90sFootball

Pre-internet, this was my music bible. I bought updated copies of this book many times (from 1977 onwards). The last version I bought was this 2004 singles / albums amalgamated edition. #GuinnessWorldRecords #BritishHitSingles #70s #80s #70sSingles #80sSingles #MusicSky

I adore ABC’s “Lexicon Of Love” but I love their 4th album “Alphabet City” just as much and the album’s ‘King Without A Crown’ is my most played ABC song.

#RIPOzzyOsbourne - Black Sabbath were the fore-runners of heavy metal / hard rock. And damn, the music was so dark and powerful. #70s #80s #HeavyMetal #MusicSky

Happy 48th birthday (how can that be?) to #TheStranglers “Something Better Change” / “Straighten Out” single, released on this day in 1977.
My UK and Japanese copies pictured.

“Straighten Out” is one of my favourite Stranglers songs. #70s #70sSingles #70sMusic #NewWave #Punk #Seventies #MusicSky

The title track of “Brothers In Arms” in #DolbyAtmos is so powerful. Listening to the blu-ray from @super-deluxe.bsky.social.
