Farewell George Wendt. R.I.P. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJiD...

An old chazza shop LP find. Hideous sleeve 1975 Emile Ford album where the theme is 'eyes' cashing in on his 1959 hit. By the middle of side 2 you are sick of hearing songs about eyes. It needs a song halfway through about chins as an intermission. The hit youtube.com/watch?v=xJ6D...

Prog 266 This is a nice futuristic twist on the old gangster threat of holding a snitch or a mark by the legs from a top floor balcony. I'm impressed that in all the robot-related scrapes Sam Slade gets himself into, his cap never seems to fall off his bonce.

I just strolled past some little school kids walking in pairs, all holding hands while their guardians herded them across Holloway Road. There was a sudden siren chirp from a patrol car. Immediately, the kids all sang "That's the sound of da police.. Woop! Woop!" Made. My. Day.

Wow! This pub khazi has a fireplace. I do hope they get it up and running during the winter. The management should add in a couple of comfy leather-bound chairs. It would be proper cosy sat round a crackling fire with some nibbles, and a good single malt. Obviously convenient too.

Prog 265 Is this poorest cover yet? Nothing goes better with cola flavoured bubble gum than a city burning in flames. I say flames, but they look more like those fake fabric flames you used to see flapping away outside naff restaurants over twenty years ago.

I wished a friend a happy 50th birthday today. They say that's the point when 'it all goes downhill from here'. That is true, I suppose, but if you imagine you're on a bicycle, life can still be quite exhilarating. Or a sledge if it's been snowing heavily the night before.

Another cheapo LP find. Pontin's Camber Sands cabaret outfit. I might've even seen the Plumm live, as I had some family holidays down there during the 1970s. Check out the phasing on the long drum solo! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUc7...

More of me childhood tat from my parent's loft. A 50 year old poster magazine featuring The Six Million Dollar Man AND Doctor Who. They must've run out of pictures of Lee Majors if they had to fill up half a page with a close up of a boring control panel.

Prog 264 FINALLY! After all this time I've been daily, (well, mostly daily), posting these issues never has the month and date matched. Once I nearly achieved this synchronicity but was just one day out. A pretty cool cover too to mark this historic occasion.

I just read the next Lottery jackpot described as 'life changing'. Surely, winning any amount of money is life changing? If I won £2 on a scratchcard, I could purchase a Twix that would unexpectedly and pleasantly change the course of my life in that moment. I could also choke to death on it.

I've just returned from a TV job last Friday living in hotels for the past seven weeks. I forgot how tedious housework is, and preparing meals, also no long hot gas bill busting showers anymore. I have to be a functioning adult again.😑 No wonder so many famous people disappear up their own aris.

Prog 262 This reminds me when TV listing magazines every few years have an issue picturing a scowling Steve McFadden on the front with the accompanying tagline, 'PHIL DEAD?' You think, probably not as nothing's been said in the paper about him leaving EastEnders. Yer can't fool us, Tharg.

Picked up this weird 1966 pop single recently, but in a plain sleeve. Boo. The picture sleeve version is quite hard to come by cheaply. Doing Kraftwerk before Kraftwerk? youtube.com/watch?v=Nu42...

Prog 261 How would you interpret that AAAAAH! ? An AAAAAH! scream? A blissful AAAAAH! like The Bisto Kids make when they smell their favourite instant gravy? A gotcha AAAAAAH! like what smug people do? Or a world weary AAAAAH! because bloody KP Griddles are on offer yet again?

Noticed this t-shirt in an army surplus shop window recently. I beg to differ, speaking as the former vice admiral of H.M.S. Living Room Settee. Back in '74, that sofa went to hell and back on its voyage around the Carpet Of Good Hope.

I spotted this in a chazza shop last week. It's an album of C&W cover versions of songs by the Small Faces.
