Will be flying to #London tonight. Which #usedrecordshops in that city should I not miss? I'll be looking for 70s/80s new wave, 60s/70s soul, and indie rock, for lack of a better descriptor.

#RIP Bill Fay. A kind and gentle soul and a great spiritual songwriter. It was a true pleasure to meet him and interview him for @mojomagazine.bsky.social in 2012.

You know what I really miss? Pop stars who can’t sing. I find it hard to think of one who couldn’t successfully transfer to a West End musical overnight.
