4 June: Another day following a sleepless night. Arguably one of the best openings to an album.

3 June: Been reporting fake record shop ads! Another Scottish voice that I’m a fan of.

2 June: Memory letting me down again. If I were write a “to do” list, I’d probably forget where I put it. When offered a choice of Blue Smoky vinyl or Forest Green vinyl, it’s a no-brainer for a Tranmere fan.

1 June: Has it really been 34 years since we got promoted to what is now called The Championship? Remixes of early 80s dance music for today’s listening.

31 May: Couple of small jobs done. A return to one of the first albums I got in the late 1970s - purely because one of the original Dutch recordings came up in SongPop.

30 May: Ask a simple question. Get given a response that does not answer it. Not a bad way to announce an arrival to the music scene.

23 May: Sleepless night so spent the day dozing on and off. Some tracks originally from Jim Steinman’s “Bad For Good” album and under different names.

@colinmurray1.bsky.social Have we not had this person before (but with a different clue)?

19 May: Shelving unit I got turned out to be not what I hoped after putting it together. Thankfully it was only a couple of quid. Seeing as “Weird Al” announced a new tour - no UK dates yet, though - thought I’d give him a listen again.

18 May: Another day largely lost to sleep. Chose some symphonic rock to listen to when I had been awake.

17 May: As much as I like watching the Cricket County Championship live streams on YouTube, can’t help but think it doesn’t help getting bums on seats in the grounds. Trying not to think of the presenters of that era…

16 May: To (politely) quote Roy Kent:“Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”. When the Foo Fighters cover the Bee Gees.

15 May: Nearly ran when I saw a bunch of Morris Dancers. Then I remembered I can’t run. 😩 Thankfully I have some silliness to cancel out the evil.

14 May: Finally managed to get out of the flat. Be interesting to see how the body reacts. George & Co at their peak.

13 May: Nearly ventured out of the flat until a wave of fatigue hit. All time classic album today.

12 May: Exhausted. Groggy. Not much different from usual. Some more 80s cheese to listen to.

11 May: Another afternoon lost to sleep. A “before he went solo” album.

10 May: Forgot how calming Saturdays are when Tranmere are in closed season. The Liverpool version, as opposed to Detroit, for today’s vinyl.

9 May: Seems like I’m stuck in another phase of no sleeping at night. Today’s album is the follow up from a couple of months ago.
