Acoustic guitar is none of my business

Ian Hunter born today 3rd June 1939, Happy 86th birthday . "The hardest thing is the idea. Ideas come from somewhere but as far as we know they come from nowhere". #glamrock #ClassicRock #MusicSky #photography

Back in the kitchen

RIP Andrew Matheson, frontman of The Hollywood Brats, an English glam band in a glum English world, and author of one of the best (and most overlooked) music memoirs of recent times. Seek it out. youtu.be/1GzIJehdr80?...

Thanks @mickeyundertone.bsky.social for the play of 'The Unshaken Frame' by Orions Belte on Friday night. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

i resent every celebrity in a betting ad

Was he even 25 in this picture? Stevie's former marital home is for sale. Fifteen million, it'll cost you. At that price, it doesn't matter if it's dollars or pounds. But it does prompt an airing of Living For The City, to end this week's Late Show. buff.ly/8IApSZU

In their winter plumage..... Excellent new record 'Enough Is Enough' which , happily, sounds like The Hives. As heard on the LSWMB buff.ly/8IApSZU

Beauty Sleep. Hard working being a top entertainment duo. New record, Radical Happiness, ups the happiness levels in the homes of listeners to the Late Show. buff.ly/8IApSZU

I read a rumour that Topper Headon was nearly going to be in B.A.D. Rumour, and nearly. So probably not, then. Any excuse to play this, though. Enjoyable even if you don't get the Nicolas Roeg references. Which I didn't. Now on the LSWMB buff.ly/8IApSZU

Orions Belte. Who are completely sold out of pizzas! Brilliant!! And do you know what else is brilliant? Their new record 'The Unshaken Frame'. Now on the LSWMB. buff.ly/8IApSZU

OK, so nobody told me that Cud did a great version of Jethro Tull's 'Living In The Past' for a Peel session in May 1988. I had to find it out for myself. And it's now on the Late Show, to follow that Sons Of S.U. song. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Ahead of a report that Sons Of Southern Ulster have been making a new record, the Late Show now has one of the highlights of their last one. They Say I Live In The Past. Apt, and excellent. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Nurse Julie! Aka Julie Hamper, who sings the wonderful 'House On Fire', in a tape provided for the listeners of The Late Show. Thank you to all concerned at the CTMF offices. Hear it here first. (Or second, if you heard it when it was played a couple of weeks ago) buff.ly/8IApSZU

After watching a dreadful episode of Top Of The Pops on the BBC iPlayer recently, which had Mud doing disco, the disc jockey on The Late Show needs a proper , Chinnichap, hit single. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Billy Nomates, completely knocked out by the brilliance of her own record. Like the rest of us. Plans, from the recently released Metalhorse LP, airing on The Late Show. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Richard Hell and The Voidoids, who usually didn't mind living in the apartment below The Ramones. But some days they had to send Marc upstairs to have a word. Then, one day, he didn't come back. Love Comes In Spurts now on the LSWMB buff.ly/8IApSZU

Swell Maps. Two Godleys and a Bird. Soundtracks, Head and Sudden. Read About Seymour (its in the past tense) now on the Late Show. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Apparently they were 'obnoxious' the first time they played in King Tut's in Glasgow. But they were nicer a couple of months later. I read that in an article in the Guardian about the club. King Tut's Wah Wah Club? Is that still the full name? buff.ly/8IApSZU article here buff.ly/BLAG8jX

Most Things. You can see the joins. Still great portrait. Their top notch song 'Shops!' is on the Late Show, to mark the release of their new collection for the summer .... Bigtime. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Rick Derringer. R.I.P. To mark his passing, the original version of 'Sorrow' by The McCoys is on the Late Show. I think Rick would have been 17 when he recorded it. He might still have been called Rick Zehringer. buff.ly/8IApSZU

It's B. Bumble And The Stingers. And Earl Palmer, who actually played on Nut Rocker. Which is now on the Late Show. And sounding as good as ever. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Is it part of a cunning Skepwax plan to annoy Jeff Bezos?

Like most great singles, the b side is.... not quite better, but just as good. An instrumental , too. With excellent brass from Damian's friends Pete New and Drew Stansall from the Neville Staple Band. buff.ly/8IApSZU

@skepwax.bsky.social @brianbilston.bsky.social he’s been setting the Amazon bots off again!

The box fresh Box Tops. Alex Chilton (in the cavalry jacket) has the air of a 16 year old who realises it doesn't matter what his exam results will be. He's in The Box Tops. Happy Time sounding tip top on the Late Show wMB buff.ly/8IApSZU

Brian Bilston being taken for a mug. Another from his Catenary Wires shindig sounding swell on the Late Show. Alexa What Is There To Know About Love? buff.ly/8IApSZU

The Wedding Present have their own jukebox musical coming .... Leeds, of course. (Is 'jukebox musical' a bit pejorative? I don't mean it to be) Not sure if the wonderful 'Why Are You Being So Reasonable Now?' will be in it, but if it isn't at least it's getting played on the LSWMB. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Happy Birthday to Nicky 'Topper' Headon. He drummed on most of the Clash's finest moments. And wrote the music for Rock The Casbah. As heard on the Late Show wMB buff.ly/8IApSZU

It's Tyler Ballgame. On grass. Brilliant new record 'Help Me Out' now on the LSWMB. It's hard not to think of Roy Orbison when you're listening, but then thinking about Roy Orbison is a great thing to do. buff.ly/8IApSZU

Life Without Buildings. I reckon the world started to go wrong when they stopped making music. The Leanover (I recently saw a clip of them performing it - archive from 2001??) is such a great record, it should be heard on the Late Show every Friday. I'm considering. buff.ly/8IApSZU
