Anyone want a copy of INCredible Sound of Drum n Bass by Goldie? Got it yesterday but it turns out that I already own it. Can post to the UK.

Iggy on 6 Music "I've been to Harlem a couple of times. Officially and unofficially.."

Guessing this was an unofficial time...
RON ASHETON: By then, I was used to Iggy throwing up. He used to go behind the amps to hide it, but it became common knowledge what was happening. Such degradation I gave up saying anything because nobody listened to me anyway. I mean, just before the gig they took my vintage pre-CBS Stratocaster up to Harlem and traded it for forty dollars' worth of smack. They said it got ripped off. I was heartbroken, man. Years later, my brother, Scotty, told me what really happened. Yeah, by the time of the Electric Circus gig, I'd given up

I should buy more versions of Miserlou on wax.
A cat at the breakfast table. It is in a shirt and jacket, reading a newspaper. There is a cup of tea on the table. The cat has lowered the paper and is looking off it to that distance.

A 241 with me, 1st LP and 45 on the same visit to Our Price in Ipswich. Paid for with my Christmas money.

Muppet Babies - Rocket To The Stars and Jive Bunny - Let's Party.

Still can't understand why I bought a Christmas single AFTER Christmas.
LP cover of the Muppets LP. There are baby versions of Kermit, Miss Piggy, Ralf, Animal, Fozzy Bear and Gonzo. They are all wearing space helmets as their toy rocket is in "Space". 45 cover for Jive Bunny. The Jive Bunny is dressed as a Father Christmas on a Sleigh and on a rooftop. he is dropping a copy of the 45 down a chimney and saying "C'mon Everybody Let's Party"

Same! Saw this interesting comment on Reddit about Kermit. 🐸
Reddit comment. You laugh but kermit is a valuable part of the team. Specifically the zero-g indicator. If Kermit is flying, it means the plane is falling, fast. And if you find yourself inside a cloud (hurricanes have those I think) without instrument power, Kermit becomes a low tech artificial horizon. Or at least a way to tell if you're upside down. Also, moral support. Because nobody wants to let down Kermit the frog.

While in Skegness, remember the fallen by trying not to fall(en). @remembrancewatch.bsky.social
A high-ropes access course called Altitiude. It is covered in a poppy cargo net. There is a sign on the cargo net. close-up of the sign on the cargo net. The text is in all-caps. "May we always remember and honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom."

Just been reminded by Google Photos that it's 8 years since Tru Thoughts 18th Birthday at the Roundhouse.

Here's a terrible snap of @wrongtom.bsky.social and The Ragga Twins from that evening.
A blurry photo of the stage at The Roundhouse in London. On stage are two MCs and a fella behind some decks. The lights on them are blue and red.

Some scissors with a weird angle/kink in them. Found in a first aid kit, we think they're for cutting bandages.

A beat up 45. Orange label. Shame And Scandal In Family. The record middle is made of cardboard. Badly.

You've reminded us of this.
Drawing of the Three-Headed Dragon King Ghidorah. Two heads look mean, they have Tortoise and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. One head is a cartoon and has a goofy face, that has Explosions In The Sky on it.

People at work keep telling me to use Google's Notebook LM to save time reading docs. I just always think of this post...
Screenshot of a post. It says "its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time about things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further"

I've been lucky enough to see Mary a couple of times, one of them support was by Walt who came on at the end and they did a couple of songs from their album. It was amazing. Here's a mediocre snap of a magical night. ✨

Walt McClements and Mary Lattimore on stage at the Brudenell. Walt is playing an accordion and Mary is playing a harp. There is some camera flare/diffusion on the photo.

Got a feeling it was The Grovesnor Hotel which isn't there any more.
A tall building being demolished. The photo is taken at night. There is a claw attachment on a crane pulling pieces of the building off. An evening shot of a half demolished hotel block. The evening sunlight is hitting the left side of the building.

Some snaps from last night at The Rutland.

It says "from the pennies to the sea, Yorkshire welcomes refugees" A beer tap. It has Slurm written on it, which is a drink from Futurama. The chalkboard at the Rutland explraining recommended and forbidden music. Recommended: Joy Orbison Forbidden: Roy Orbison

fun/dull fact. I saw Ranking Roger performed it on stage with DiV when they were the support for The Chemical Brothers in 97.

Thanks for lookin'. There's a few 45s out there so don't panic.

"Fun" fact, I took this snap in 2015 in Joe's Bar in London. Andy Smith was playing it and I wanted to remember it. Years later asked him what he thought it might be and he figured it out.
a 45 on a Technics turntable. It's a whitelabel and the text on the record is unreadable.

Just found this gem in the depths of Google Photos...
YouTube comment. m1foley 11 years ago I saw Scientist in San Francisco when he was touring with U-Roy. He had the King Tubby engineer personality, setting up his own wires like a roadie. He tested his soundboard on the top 40 they play before concerts - groups like Barenaked Ladies were thrown into the echo chamber and sent to Mars.
