I went to the cinema today, to get to the cinema it is necessary to walk past a used record shop. It is not necessary to go into the used record shop. I went in. […]

Discogs Decides
The Discogs App random record selector today chose this: So that is exactly what I am listening to because I am obedient and do what I’m told by simple computer programs. Tracklist A1 –Redshape Instrument […]
Miles Davis – In A Silent Way
I have a few Miles Davis albums, and a few years ago I was given 350 of them as MP3’s, though I only listened to a few, 350 albums is a stupid number and I’d […]
Gary Numan – Exile
Exile is the thirteenth solo studio album by Gary Numan, released in October 1997 by Eagle Records. I have difficulty with this, namely that it was 21 bloody years ago, I can’t reconcile with this timespan at all, ten […]
Belle & Sebastian – How To Solve Our Human Problems (Parts 1 – 3)
One way to make a bit more money from releasing an album on vinyl is to do so as 3 12″ singles rather than as a triple album, which would seem more of an investment […]
Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry – Open The Gate
On the wall of the used record store there was a Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry triple LP box set. It had been there for about a month and was priced at £30. Every time I went […]
Rodriguez – Coming From Reality
I was at work yesterday and an album arrived from Amazon. An album that I hadn’t ordered. Turns out that my son had the bare faced cheek to go into my Amazon account and bloody […]
Viagogo
My good lady wife wanted to go to a gig, this is a rarity, so I endeavoured to get some tickets, unfortunately they were sold out, however, there were tickets available from secondary sellers. The […]
Desmond Dekker – This Is Desmond Dekkar
I now have a re-issue of This is Desmond Dekkar by Desmond Dekker, well who else would it be by? I’ve no idea why the surnames are different though. Another Trojan Records release, and one […]
Loyle Carner – Yesterday’s Gone
Back in August 2017 I briefly commented on the Mercury Music Prize nominees and threw some out and added some in, this album was actually nominated and I kept it in because it is a […]
Jack White – Lazeretto
This was released in 2014, so, yes, I’m 4 years late to the party, but at least I turned up. In 1799, after one-tenth of the population of Philadelphia perished with yellow fever six years […]
Steven Wilson Live at Warwick Arts Centre
I knew very little abut Steven Wilson, and still don’t know all that much to be honest. I did know a couple of Porcupine Tree tracks but had no idea that he was in the […]
Owen Gray – Reggae With Soul
My current obsession is with Trojan records and I have, despite knowing it is a terrible idea that will only lead to disappointment for me and pain for my wallet, begun looking for some of […]
Fripp & Eno – (No Pussyfooting)
Popped out to a record shop in Witney, Oxfordshire during my lunch break. I’ve been there before but not since prior to Christmas. The used selection is a decent size but there isn’t often much […]
RECORD STORE DAY 2018
The full list of UK Record Store Day releases has now been published and I have a problem, and that problem is what I would like from it, namely all these: ==> Amorphous Androgynous, […]
Charity Shop visit
Popped into a couple of Charity shops at lunch time where I usually find some oddities or oldies that I fancy listening to, had a bit better luck today though, check it out:
Teenagers have no taste, quite rightly
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about albums I used to own but don’t own anymore. I really have no clue what happened to most of them and their absence means I never really think […]
Spinning some 45’s
Sunday afternoons are a good time to spin a few 45’s, starting with this one: Tricky ft PJ Harvey – Broken Homes (B-Side) Gary Numan – I Die You Die The Sisters of Mercy – […]
Kate Bush – The Kick Inside
One of the best debut albums ever I should think. It’s incredible to me that she was only 19 years old. and had written some of the songs when she was only 13. I was 11 […]
OGWT – My Episode
Having watched the OldGrey Whistle Test the other night I put together my own episode of some favourite performances from lots of different eras. There’s plenty more so I may do another.
