A couple of posts from my other socials. I'm hardly on here anymore. Too many apps to keep up with!

Gil Scott-Heron: Moving Target
Ozzy Osbourne: See You On The Other Side V2.0

New blog post. It's been a while since I've posted but this is pretty important to me.

No Energy Left To Hope
I don’t know what it was or why it was this last weekend but reading news articles about the current ongoings in Gaza really hit me hard. I’ve been quite vocal on the podcast on my feel…

Hey everyone. It's been a minute! It turns out keeping up with every social media platform takes its toll and some get left behind. Here's a few things I've been listening to recently.

No vinyl spins today but I did watch Becoming Led Zeppelin.

The story of Led Zep from their childhood up to January 1970. I would have liked more interview footage, but it was really good. I liked the John Bonham interviews, not only listening to them but seeing the other band member's reactions.

After shipping and tax, I spent a little too much money on this. 20 year old Dave is happy. 40 year old Dave is looking for things to sell. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😅

Today's spin - the 2024 release from UK synth-pop group Wolf Club, Canyons. For me, this band has gone from strength to strength and I've really enjoyed listening to their latest offering today.

First day of annual leave tomorrow and I have a stack of records to clean and listen to. It's been a while since I've had time to myself to do things for myself so I'm looking forward to a morning of relaxing and spinning some great albums.

I bought a collection of over 5000 CD's today. 6 hours total of boxing up, removing, travelling and storing. Everything aches. 10 years ago this wouldn't have been an issue. Today I got home, ate pizza and went to bed. Don't grow old kids; it's a trap. 😩

The rebrand of my podcast is ready to go! I'll be recording the final episode of the old one this weekend and launching straight into the new one next week!

This change of name/identity has been a breath if fresh air across all my social platforms. 🙂

How do you feel about tapes? My Denon cassette deck has been out of action for a while so this week I took it apart, replaced broken parts, cleaned it up and set it up at work. Broke it in with a new copy of Monsters by The Midnight. I'm really happy with how it sounds. 🙂

I've finally deactivated my X account. Nothing to do with politics, X is just shit.

I've decided to distance myself from my username and the online moniker that I have been using for 10 years, Shingler's
List. As I've progressed in this digital world and
grown as a person, I no longer feel comfortable using the name.

Grabbed this last week from Vinyl Revival in Manchester. I've been picking off George Harrison's discography slowly but surely over the last couple of years and it's great to add this one to the collection.

A bit of a special one here. As a collector of records since the late 1980's it has always been a dream to get my own music onto vinyl and available to everyone. That is now a reality in the form of my latest album, Melius Tempore. Happy is an understatement!

Well, 2024 is well and truly over now. As years go, it wasn't too bad. Let's see what 2025 brings, starting with a trip to Manchester for lunch and record shopping!

To Dave. Merry Christmas. From Dave. 😁

A nice treat to myself. Picked up last week when this came into the shop in a small second hand collection. I have the DVD but the record has never really been on my radar. I couldn't pass though when it was right in front of me!

6 years of annual Xmas drinks. The grey came on quick!! 😂

I ordered this for the shop back in October and said if it hadn't sold by Xmas I'd buy it. It's not my go to STP album but it's still solid. I probably could have gotten an older pressing cheaper, but this Rocktober 2024 splatter is pretty cool.

I watched Red One at the weekend. It's a Christmas film with The Rock and comedy Chris Evans. It's exactly what you think it will be. Nothing more, nothing less! Great during the festive season. Probably a 5/10 any other time of the year! 😅
