Vinyl buying gig-goer and covers-band drummer. I'm waiting to look through that box of records so hurry up, if you wouldn't mind.

Starting Saturday with...

Very much this 👇 Daryl singing it live, when singing it live on #totp wasn't a thing, ending up on his back with his shoes flying through the air. I never tire of seeing this.

This compilation is SO good. A Christmas present many, many years ago, if I remember correctly (which I often don't) #cassunday

A bit pricey, that.

Could this be the only dancehall tune to mention Halifax? Northern towns are woefully underrepresented in this genre.

At record fairs, I'm usually not after that rare Radiohead bootleg or some 1st press of some indie classic. I'm all about rifling through the bargain bins. I've found some absolute gems over the years, but I'm starting to think I need to have a "shit I bought at a record fair" section on the shelf.

A great time for starting a Saturday night

I wrote one of the years of Bill Drummond's biography, which cycles on his website with a year every day. My entry begins on his 16th birthday and is there today, and will be there again in another 70 days. www.penkilnburn.com/home/the-lif...

After having this in my Discogs cart for years, I finally got around to buying a copy of this. I thought I was going to like it a lot less than I do.

I find myself working in the evening a lot. Recently, this wonderful piece from Loopatronica on @moolakiiclubai.bsky.social has been a regular go-to for these sessions. If you like it electronic and chilled, give this a go.

This evening's entertainment

Some classic 90s reggae/dancehall for my #weekendsingles today. Some zooming in to do if this sort of thing floats your boat. Again, many of these are from my pirate radio days and got absolutely hammered at the time.

To celebrate another completed journey around the sun, I've got a couple of bits that I didn't pick up over the last year.

Some random 12"s for my #weekendsingles

An unexpected WFH day today so I've been choosing some tapes I haven't listened to in a while to keep me company.

Of all my #vinylsanta records from this year, this one is by far my favourite. I didn't own any OMD before this but I'll be looking out for more at record fairs. Really glad to be sent this one.

This has been getting a few plays over the last week or so, thanks to my #vinylsanta. It was completely new to me. - never even heard of him before
