Death wears a big hat Because he's a big bloke

Genuinely still laughing at @grantbrisbee.bsky.social's Scent Of A Woman joke from last week's Roundtable

Elbows up, Canada.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Took an out-grown kids bike to the tip, and in the shipping container these were just sitting there...

Good afternoon....

Today I became the first person in history to buy a J.Cole CD and a Chas&Dave CD in the same transaction

We made it onto BBC Sounds! The adventure of finding Vancouver resident Valerie, the person behind a 50 year old Voice-O-Graph, which I found in a collection last month, is on BBC Sounds. Thanks to @avavsystems.bsky.social for his work digitally restoring the audio. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Every 50 year old should get a free head torch on the NHS. That's roughly the age it's fucking impossible to read anything in less than intense sunlight.

Bought a couple of dubstep LPs because they were stupid cheap. Assumed they'd be like Skrillex.... They're not. Apparently, I like dubstep now. #musicsky

Dipped into the collectibles at Emmaus, and oh my is this with £5. Taking me right back... #musicsky

This is quite astonishingly good - the mix of melodicism and invention just perfect. #musicsky

One of my favourite pieces of musical criticism is the old joke "Wagner has some beautiful moments and some terrible quarter hours"... On an unrelated note I am currently listening to disc 2 of Cream's "Wheels Of Fire". #musicsky #classicrock

#NowPlaying Some amazing Hawkwind infused prog from the recent haul. #musicsky A guy I knew at university used to play this to people buying weed from him, presumably to test their dedication...

This makes me very sad. One of the best broadcasters we’ve ever had.

As someone with a strong 70s prog/rock/proto-metal leaning, have just hit the charity shop CD motherlode...

Ok, chaos briefly on pause, time for some #vinylsanta time...

#vinylsanta it's a hefty one

Playing a previous years #vinylsanta in preparation for this year... Just one of the many astonishing records I've received over the duration

To my #vinylsanta... I'll be getting to it real soon... Just got the kids to bed, and finishing wrapping my wife's actual present...

Ok, who's up for some kick-ass Shropshire sheep farming music ... #musicsky #topicrecords

I'm a happy chazza jazzer - Coltrane is absolutely cooking on the One Down One Up

About once a month I accidentally visit @thepokeuk.bsky.social without my ad-blocker turned on and .... do people actually do that voluntarily?
