ABC's 2nd album "Beauty Stab". Left the new romanticism behind in favour of some politics. "There's a silent majority seen and never heard from Charles I to Charles II to Charles III" Not bad for 1983. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

A Little Lana Del Rey for the wind down of a long week. "Did you know there is a tunnel under ocean blvd"...its not NFR! but its been moving up my personal chart. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield. My 5th grade teacher (1976) was obsessed with this, I remember it being dubbed onto our b/w video montage the class did. Reel to Reel video, the portapack was at least 25kg. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Brubeck's "Time Out". 1959 was an astonishing year for great Jazz. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

The Beatles Revolver came out the same year I was born. It has aged much better. Rapidly becoming my fav Beatles album. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

I did Lou Reed in reverse, my first CD of his was Magic and Loss, worked back to Transformer and then discovered the Velvet Underground. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Velveen the 2nd album from Transvision Vamp. I personally preferred Pop Art but the title track is a brilliant piece. Originally owned on CD from when it first released but recently picked up the vinyl. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

At 51, Hot August Night by Neil Diamond holds up remarkably well. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Shaking the Foundations by Rough Trade...."there's no limits to the depths you can sink to, there's no limit to the heights you can climb" #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

I had to screenshot this.

I haven’t spun The Stranger by Billy Joel for a while, it blows me away just how good it is. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

A liitle Alchemy for this public holiday. I saw this live twice back to back because my friend and I couldn’t get dates and took each over. Brilliant concert. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Fireworks at Perth for #AustraliaDay

A little mellow Dire Straits...Brothers in Arms. I always remember the scene in the West Wing where te president was in the church and the title track of this album played...chef's kiss. #musicsky #VinylCommunity #NowSpinning #NowPlaying #VinylRecords

Lazy Saturday morning, what better way than to start with some "live" Joe Jackson, possibly the best live performer I have witnessed. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Working my way through Billy Joel's catalogue. I defy you to listen to An Innocent Man and not find yourself swaying along. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

My first Dire Straits record. I believe its impossible not to start playing air guitar to Telegraph Road. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Long day, time to settle down with a bourbon and some Billy Joel...fun fact my 1973 copy of the Piano Man has all the songs in the wrong order listed on the jacket. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

A little Harry Nilsson to end the night. This album has some many great songs, it make me want to put the lime in the coconut and drink it all up. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Not going to lie, my Beatles White Album isn't that white these days. But damn does it still sound great. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Somehow some Midnight Oil....Red Sails in the Sunset felt appropriate today. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Spent to afternoon booking my accommodation for the trip to Sweden & Norway. Time for some Lana Del Rey. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Peak Paul Simon (solo), I believe we will all be received at Gracelands. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Guilty pleasure for a Saturday morning #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

There is magic in a James Horner Soundtrack. #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

A little The The for the morning. (definitely a band name thought up before seo) #NowSpinning #vinyl #NowPlaying

Mister Heartbreak. I turn around #nowspinning #vinyl #nowplaying

Sweet and Sour. If you are Australian of a certain age, you know. #nowspinning #nowplaying

Billy Joel The Nylon Curtain #nowplaying #nowspinning tragically underrated.

Bruce Woolley and the camera club. #nowplaying #nowspinning the original video killed the radio star.

I think anyone who lives in the Anglosphere should be concerned by Trump/Musk expansionism. Panama & Greenland might be strategic (non Anglo) but the UK and Canada are about a shared culture. I am deeply afraid that New Zealand and Australia represent a strategic acquisition and a shared heritage.

What is the word for feeling amused but fundamentally scared at the shitshow that is American politics. I am sure there is an appropriate German word.
