Usually thinking about music & vinyl, often when I should be doing something else.
I try and post a #TOTD using the 'random item' option on my #discogs #vinyl collection.

We probably crossed paths in the 90s as well then. Had mates living on Dyke Road, Seven Dials and one of the other side streets nearby. One worked on Queens Rd too, so The Star, that offie and takeaways from Spiced Nutriment featured in many lost weekends in the 90s.

Was that the offie straight down from the train station near the corner at the bottom of Dyke Road?

Ocean Software? Are you the person to invoice for all the Quick shot II joysticks broken playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon? 🤣

Even the indoor pitch is grey lol. Can't think of any other colour we normally associate with pitches...

Offensively bland is quite the look to pull off, but he nailed it. Even the grey indoor pitch 🙃

If people only knew how much of international banking ran on CSVs being emailed...
Also, when did schools decide that the content of every email had to be in an attached PDF? Just put it in the email body and stop making me d/l shit!

But in many ways, haven't we all at some stage, metaphorically speaking, sent Bongo a postcard saying, "Dear Bongo, no!"

Nearly. It was Beefheart, not Zappa.

I'm going to see Lisa O'Neil there in September which will be my first visit to that bit.

There are definitely worse rabbit holes to go down.
If you like that stuff moreso than his straight ahead techno, the Tomorrow Comes The Harvest and the tracks with Tony Allen are worth checking (if you haven't done so already already).

They're totally unreal looking. Totally with you on the excitement levels any time I see one. Apparently last year was a record year for them down here on the surveys. Didn't see any, mind, but nice to know the chances are increasing again.

Yeah, probably wise. Although my enthusiasm just took a dent when I looked up where the venue is. That is loooooong getting all the way over there from the South West. Especially now that I'm predominantly fuelled by annoyance, irritation and grumpiness instead of rave juice...🤣

I hear shades of Richard Hawley in some of her songs too, which is also fine by me.

Haha, we had one of those death streams too!
All those '70s Public Information Films were more aspirational than warnings to us 😂

...but he couldn't see anybody and was at least 25 yards from where he thought we were playing. Total death trap. The Viet Cong had nothing on us! 😂

My uncle recently reminded me that we used to play in a 'den' that we started by digging into an earth bank under a tree. My cousin continued extending underground using 'liberated' scaffold poles and planks. He only uncovered it when he was in his veg patch and could hear kids talking nearby...

Shame I don't spot your post earlier as I could have given you the name of the cinema - The Capitol Cinema. Went there as a kid. It closed in early/mid 80s iirc. Here's a later photo of it from directly opposite.

This is one of my comfort videos that I have to watch periodically.

Yeah, horrific. Knew a few people who were there (sadly now rip) so heard first hand accounts.
Haven't had a chance to watch this one yet but the original C4 Operation Solistice documentary had rediscovered footage that 'disappeared' from the original ITN recordings.
