I'm looking for a second hand record shop or dealing in the North East of England who would be interested in speaking to someone about an interesting record collection. I'm happy to share more details via WhatsApp - 07455680866

Winston Churchill wearing a dressing gown. Yes, I know I just posted it, but I want to turn it into a thread and here on bsky that doesn't really work so here we go again. A bit more about what he was wearing underneath...

Sundays are for Dylan; currently listening to 'Saved'.

Congratulations to BRIT winners Charli XCX (Bishop's Stortford College, £38,319 per year), AG Cook (King Alfred School, £27,747) and The Last Dinner Party (Bedales, £52,075) for showing that people from ordinary backgrounds can reach the top in pop music, that most egalitarian of art forms.

New horrifying game to play: "what album had Bob Dylan got to by my age"

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Trump tried to ‘bully’ Zelenskyy, says Alastair Campbell www.channel4.com/news/trump-t...

Last month, interviewing the great crime-journalist / screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi, I asked why his mother painted a photo from National Geographic, and exactly how it ended up in Goodfellas. This was the missing piece of the puzzle for me, and completes my master opus on this whole affair. Here!

I *think* there's an article under her somewhere...

HOT FUZZ was released 18 years ago today. The second entry in Edgar Wright’s Cornetto Trilogy and one of the most beloved British comedies this century, the tale of how it was made is like firing two guns whilst jumping through the air… 1/46

Massive long shot. Citizens of Lancaster - is there anywhere in or close to town that could, at a push, look anything like a time machine built in 1911? Or could, with a bit of tweaking. Thinking ahead about locations for a short film I'm workshopping with some 10 year-olds.

I'm Joel and I run Brighter Day Record Shop... a record shop with a difference. Message me to join the Sunday Service, or if you have some records that require rehoming. I'm available elsewhere - www.linktr.ee/brighterdayvinyl ...but not Twitter. Fuck that guy 🌞

I'm a nearly-72 writer, and the best advice I ever heard was from the brilliant comedy writer Sam Bain. Basically, he said that when you're writing you need to be supple, not clenched. As advice goes it's simple, essential, and true.

It's not, is it? It can't be... i mean... he wouldn't be labelling his own test pressings. The G does kinda look like... no... it can't be. No... it's can't. Or can it... CAN IT!!!?

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... I've just been on the radio talking about this wonderful voice-o-gram i found last week. Starts around 12.40. Is anyone able to make this into a video as I want to share with the family.

An old neighbour of the family has been in touch and I'm finding the best person to send this too. More updates when I have it.
