Hello, I'm not dead I'm just busy reading music pages from Teletext recoveries 😅

Who would like to play the TOTP Daily Trivia Quick from 2nd December '99?

Answers are in the comment below this post!

here's an example of how recovering Teletext can help other databases such as #MusicBrainz
the Planet Sound magazine broadcast on C4 Teletext can provide a lot of previously hidden information, such as providing a more accurate "form" date for this indie band.

I find exampels of "early" interactive TV rather interesting, and Teletext was often used as a means to provide various interactive services. Here is a visual example of someone actually using a mortgage service in Nov 2000! Mr and Mrs Chilvers I hope you got your house!

I fondly remember Megs performance in City of Angle

Productive day, I've got nearly 300 additions to my Internet Archive UK adverts collection ready for upload and finally sourced a remote for one of my VCR's!

Sadly my beloved Panasonic DVD recorder decided it no longer wanted to exist last night, so the substitue is in play now!

I got some great #Jazz CDs from a car boot recently. Many of these were 50p! Great condition and helping me on my exploration journey of this fine genre

I added a few more scans of VHS slipcases to my #Pinterest board over the weekend :D

It's not always often I get ads from the 80s, but when I do I love the car ones so much, it tickles my petrolhead sensibilities so well.

This #Renault21 ad is just lovely

Long weekend ahead, more Teletext recovery.

This batch is a mixture of either military documentaries 😪 or boobies 🧐

God forbid a man has hobbies eh 😂

I'm not dead (yet), been busy improving the amount of viewable #Teletext recoveries on my website.

The problem with the post office being in a charity shop is this happens... All of these for £3! 😁 #physicalmedia

Three CDs from Barnardo's charity shop over the weekend. Really happy with the Pixies CD! Also a Bowie CD and a Jazz Cafe Compilation! 😁

The smell of secondary school is finally gone apparently #LynxAfrica
Good riddance I'd say, did they also get rid of that god-awful Lynx Chocolate too?

tonight's #musicbrainz work is listening and finishing up the metadata for this Buddy Holly and the Crickets compilation from 1993.. not the biggest BH fan but it seems like a pretty comprehensive collection

Do you like old tape sleeves? Good, I do too and I share them on a Pinterest board at the moment:

Here are some of my additions today

So I found my big box of "to sort" CDs, and have started going through them. Turns out I never listened to Green Day's 2012 album ¡Dos! until today, it's ok - not their best but not terrible. However it had barely any metadata on #musicbrainz! That's fixed now 😁🤓

I'm making a request to the international law making bodies to prevent anyone from releasing anymore music under the name "mirage" 😂 #musicbrainz

From that pile of random grabs I found another local musicians CD, this time Les Handscombe's Tailgate Jazz Band. Featuring 15 tracks recorded live in Castle Hedingham in 2011 covering a selection of New Orleans and Dixieland jazz. Great stuff!

#PhysicalMedia haul coming to less than £10 in total! Absolutely over the moon with the Golden Girls boxsets
March 15, 2025 at 1:21 PM
I went to the clearance #charityshop again this week and picked up another 10 CD's for £1. Random grabs for gap filling on #musicbrainz.

One of them was this fantastic 2CD #Dixieland jazz album of Bob Scobey music and has been on heavy rotation for the past few days
