Pretending to be a cowboy this morning. Cover features the Magnificent Seven but not the original lot; in fact I watched Return of the Seven earlier this year, and – vaguely recommending with faint praise – it isn’t bad. #vinylcommunity #nowplaying

Live, and lively, but you have to strain your ear for snatches of the crowd. Parker on alto sax, Mundell Lowe on guitar, Max Roach on drums, Walter Bishop Jr on piano and Teddy Kotick on bass.

Yeah, his own, and absolutely no-one else’s, you fucking melt.

Starting this today. Haven’t read anything by Mariana Enriquez before, but received a few of her books as presents during the past year or two.

Too many to mention, but this is really good and has been logged fewer than 350 times as of today, so I think it’s worth shining a light on…

I’ve been on a bit of a Tangerine Dream kick of late. Picked up half a dozen of their albums in a record shop in Eastbourne several years ago as they were cheap, and have been playing them on and off for a month or so.

Fantastic read so far. Andrew Emery always with the right mix of wit and insight. I still have three or four dozen issues of Hip-Hop Connection at home, but sadly my copies of Fat Lace disappeared. As with my Grand Royals, have no idea what happened to them. Parents probably chucked them?!

Bought at a record fair a couple of years ago. The most sugary, twee elements of 60s psych in hyper-concentrated form. I like their song Small Talk (not included here), but every six months or so I give this another go, and dislike it. Are there albums you refuse to give up on?

Just about recovered from a long weekend in London with friends. Ate too much, drank too much, spent too much, walked along the Regent’s Canal and saw Pulp, who are still great.

Changed up the wall…
… and #nowplaying The Best of Chi-Sound Records (which is fine/good/decent for three sides, and then you hit the slow jams on side 4, which are incredible). Some previous Record Store Day blue vinyl silliness now available for relative peanuts.

The main problem with this is that I just can’t decide which gif of someone eating popcorn is the best one to use.

First up this morning…
Seasons by Pete Jolly
Not a big fan of coloured vinyl, generally – part of me will forever be a no-nonsense northerner raised on a diet of 1980s wrestling, Findus crispy pancakes and black vinyl being the ONLY choice available – but this amber release makes my knees knock.

Not as much time for music as I’d have liked this week, but loving this at the moment – the expanded version of An 424 by Trá Pháidín on @hivemindrecords.bandcamp.com
Fantastic mix of Irish folk, jazz and post-rock by a Conamara-based nine-piece band, all apparently about the 424 bus route.
