I chat with an elderly lady about all things music, and we find we share a love of The Beatles. I ask her if it really was as exciting in the 60s as the old footage suggests. She replies: “Oh yes, it certainly was – if you lived in London, and if you were a man”. #sellingvinyl

Music opinion: Pet Sounds is the album with the greatest gap between the quality of the cover, and the quality of the music.

This extraordinary #FrenchOpen men’s final has been going on for 5hrs 11mins. I’ve been trying to think what was the last thing I did continuously for 5hrs, and the only thing I can come up with is sleeping

I play Dry The Rain by The Beta Band, the song the record shop owner in the film Hi Fidelity plays that gets customers nodding their heads and coming to ask him what he's playing. A customer then comes to ask me what I'm playing #sellingvinyl

Back to having laptop problems. I'm fascinated by the Microsoft logic of the "Unknown error code". Why would Microsoft give me an error code that it doesn't recognise itself!?!?

Could we please stop using that stupid 'money tree' phrase that Theresa May came up with. It is very irritating and only displays a complete lack of understanding of basic economics.

Chap buys a Mission album. Tells me that he saw them live a few years ago, and found them stood next to the parents of Wayne Hussey, the Mission's singer. They knew all the words, sang along to everything, and kept apologising for their swearing #sellingvinyl

A friend comes to say hi. His daughter, age 25, is a vinyl buyer. Someone buys Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. When they've gone, my friend tells me that his daughter refers to Rumours as 'Baby's First Album'. #sellingvinyl
