Sticking with the blue vinyl, ‘Eat the Gold’ by Aircooled, released in February this year on Music’s Not Dead, is #nowplaying, and sounding superb.👇🏻♥️

This is a terrific jangle-pop record - ‘Fairweather Friend’, released in January this year by The Umbrellas on Tough Love Records. This is the Trolley Blue limited edition - 88/300 representing!
No difficult second album here - it’s fantastic, and well worth picking up! ♥️😀

If any of you fine people are on Instagram and even remotely interested, you can find me there too. The usual stuff - me dicking about primarily with #VinylRecords.

‘First Utterance’ by Comus, first released in 1971 on Dawn, has had a recent reissue courtesy of Music on Vinyl and Sanctuary on limited edition (1000) clear vinyl. It’s #nowplaying and sounding deliciously mad.

“A tall funnel rose, and an invisible ray of heat leapt from man to man, and there was a bright glare as each was instantly turned to fire … “

Jeff Wayne’s ‘War of the Worlds’ is #NowPlaying, and it’s glorious.

Lin made us a phenomenal curry and we’re about to settle down to watch a film in our snug - my second favourite room in the house. Happy days. 🙂

A couple of days ago I went to #Monorail in #Glasgow and this happened.👇🏻 It fair made a bad day much, much better, even if the train journey home was a bit fraught.

Why not improve your day with a Monorail haul!? Go on, go on! ♥️😀👏🏻

I'm continuing to sort through photographs today. These were taken in November 2016, when I was unboxing my collection of tat and setting up my Room of Many Things. I love the tv tie-in books of yesteryear, and the photos below show a small part of my collection.

Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, we’re wishing all of you, your family, and your friends, the best possible Christmas. 2023 has, for many people, been brutal, but 2024 will be better. Change is coming. Peace to you all. ♥️

It’s Lin’s birthday tomorrow, so, as is the tradition, my sister visited to wrap my presents for everyone (I’m shite at it). Then Lin and I went for our Christmas tree walk. Now it’s time for some lovely Christmas carols, nice coffee, and a Dairy Milk Orange. Perfect.

Ten months ago, ‘The Great Thin-Down’ began, and The Vinyl Constituency has been in a sorry state. Now, circa 400 LPs lighter, and just in time for Christmas, it’s completely sorted and, oh, I have an early Christmas gift from my wife! ♥️😀

I can’t express how much I DESPISE this corrupt #Tory cabal of unhinged heartless psychopaths, grifters, asset strippers, shit stirrers, industrial scale fraudsters, and WhatsApp deleters. I hate them at cellular level, and I HATE that they make me hate.

Obligatory “the #ChristmasTree is up!”photo for #Christmas2023.
Now it’s time to park my backside on the sofa, and get stuck into a nice coffee and some tasty stroopwafels. ♥️

I’m pleased to have this on the turntable - the 12” 40th anniversary half speed remaster of The Specials’ 1981 7” ‘Ghost Town’ / ‘Why?’ / ‘Friday Night, Saturday Morning’.
I remember ‘Ghost Town’ on the radio when I was five, and thought it both scary and amazing. #VinylRecords

We knew the day after the hill climb would be a write-off for me, so planned for that. Instead it’s screwed me for near enough three days. NO REGRETS! Today we drove to the beach at Seilebost. The autumn high tides are receding and more sand is becoming visible. Happy days. ♥️ #WesternIsles #IsleOfHarris #Seilebost #Photography #Photo

Yesterday afternoon at #Sandown on the #IsleofWight

The truly horrendous weather that has seen parts of the Island flood has also had moments of beauty.

Five years later, I still think about Nana several times each day, especially on her birthday, and today - the anniversary of her death. She hit the big 100 then cashed in her chips before the sh*t hit the fan. As daft as a fox, bless her. ♥️

It's been a tricky day here on the #IsleofWight as we had torrential rain overnight and no serious weather warning until it was too late. These photos were taken by my friend Arron in his way to work. They show the bus station, railway line and hovercraft terminal all submerged in floodwater. I don't think we'll have any trains running for a while!! This is 10 mins walk from home. Fortunately we stayed dry. Our kitchen did get flooded a couple of years back.
