I should get myself organised one of these days and venture out of the Midlands. Have a great evening 😊

Gaudy Pop Sensations booklet cover House of All at the BBC

(Un)believably late to this but noticed last Friday - Bandcamp Friday luckily enough - that I’d missed it first time around.
Anyway count me in 👌 booklets with CDs, vinyl or downloads are brilliant. Helps to have a talented writer in the band of course.

Surfers Against Sewage challenges UK bathing water reforms - Oceanographic Legal challenge launched against UK government reforms to bathing water regulations; fears they could leave swimming spots unmonitored.

Campaign group Surfers Against Sewage has launched an urgent legal challenge against the UK government over planned changes to the country’s bathing water designation rules,warning the reforms could leave popular swimming spots unmonitored and unprotected. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/surfers...

A mate of mine used to supplement his income as a musician by performing solo at old people’s homes, and he told me one of the songs that went down best of all was “You Make Me Feel So Young.”
Anyway I’m at a garden centre and ^^^

Turned on the tv and I could instantly tell what programme it was without the sound on but the sight of a couple of young guys “brainstorming” in that affected way they do on there. Didn’t manage more than afew seconds though 😄

Electronic Sound Cabaret Voltaire cover and 7” record

Can’t wait to dive. Cheers @electronicsound.bsky.social 👌

Had to do a good news/bad news this morning. “Do you need a tin to put things in?, are you a big fan of those Quality Street you’ve been saving in the cupboard?” Oops 😄

Premier League corners right now are a cross between Strictly Come Dancing and MMA, “what happened there then Craig?”, “well I think Bowen was about to break into a Foxtrot, then he got slammed into the ground” 😆

As the days grow longer and the seasons turn, our little Black Country town welcomes once again the song of the first ice-cream van of the year, returned from wherever it is they migrate to in winter. #WarmsTheHeartITellYou

*We're*

We going to end up at Paul Weller's most well known vocal hook "Eating Trifle" at this rate 😆

That's got to be good without a doubt. I'm often not one for lyrics - my hearing has meant I can't catch them until I read them - so I always hoped there was a twist in there somewhere. Regardless a 4 year old singing the chorus was a "surprise..."

The "Hoorah for the Brownshirts" Rothermere family are pretty deep into "don't promise us a good time" territory here. What could be next, paying tax on UK income wherever you might happen to live?! 😱🥳

I might check in with him this afternoon to see if he spotted the ruse yet, hmmm 😆

The Prodigy - Firestarter (Official Video) YouTube video by The Prodigy

For a while our youngest's fave tune was Firestarter so Fat of the Land was often cued up in the car.
One day I absent mindedly left the CD running and he walked into the house singing Smack My Bitch Up...
Luckily my partner convinced him it was actually "Smack My Fish Up" 😆

So, so good. I feel like a grew up with this band from the Tamla era through the 70s funk so this is my listen for tomorrow. Not to mention a whole can of ear worms 👌

I can imagine. I thought we might be in the same league as Wrexham ourselves but we’re probably passing in different directions.

I just started wearing an old reversible tartan/khaki red or dead hoody I’d bought in the 80s from a tiny shop in Camden. Definitely not long back from a free party or techno night there.

Definitely, all the more impressive to keep the pressure up though

😆 long hair, then short hair on repeat since I was in my teens

If that goal wasn’t offside who knows what might have happened?
Red card looked dubious to me too?

You in another decade

Early 2000s

That fight right until the last second and so close even one man down 👌👏👏

Easy to dislike Chelsea this evening, and all of the other days tbh

Come on Wrexham 🤞

Thank you off for a look

It's just a synth thing/brand that was out of this world expensive but groundbreaking way back - up until Don Buchla died in fact. But now there are affordable modules. Mastodon was good for a while, Reddit and others all had their day.

OK long shot on this platform of record lists and admittedly great new music and live band shares *but* is there an online Buchla platform out there to chat? The Reddit is dead.

I remember looking at the £14,000 Skylab system and thinking if only… but Tiptop #Buchla has meant we can all play now.

“World Book Day is about celebrating literature,” he said. “But when a child arrives speaking in dense metaphor and swaying slightly while insisting they’re ‘perfectly sober thank you’, you do have to ask some questions.”
