Just spotted it’s in stock in a coupla places (Bear Tree & Juno)

I love that Otis song… it’s how it stopped and started throughout the scene… just beautiful.
Back on my Twin Peaks: The Return watch and that Big Ed / Norma / Otis scene in ep.15 is incredible:…

Copy of “The Chronicles of Doom: Unravelling Rap’s Masked Iconoclast” by S.H Fernando Jr propped up on some record shelves.zz
Would really recommend this (if you’ve not already read)…
Love how the Corrie character that Ben Kingsley’s character in Wonder Man played was the character who Ben Kingsley played

Pretty much what my 13yo said when the credits rolled
Restarting my watch of Twin Peaks: The Return…
And Miguel Ferrer’s delivery of the line of “F*** Gene Kelly!! You motherf***er!!!” is just incredible.
Went back to work last week after a couple of months of compassionate/sick/xmas-annual-leave (in that order)… anxiety was horrible but it got better… somehow actually looking forward to work tomorrow… good luck!

I keep forgetting to check which volume I don’t have for the next time I’m in….
(also - keep forgetting to mention - Death Is Not The End have this amazing sub-label called 333… incredible reggae/dub reissues deathisnot.bandcamp.com/album/medita...)
Just heard @maryannehobbs.bsky.social playing Lou Reed’s “Berlin” and it took me right back to that Xmas/NY in my early 20s that - due to a family thing - I spent alone, miserable & listening repeatedly to “Berlin” on CD…
… big love for the beautiful, gormless solipsism of youth… 🖤
Hokay. It is midnight. And I might’ve just promised my teenagers that we can watch the finale of Stranger Things when it drops at 1am….
I may have made a terrible mistake …
I’m acutely aware that I’m a very lucky man.
(… that said, my wife is **very** keen for me to thin the CDs from the ‘disposable income’ years ...)
Photo of a wooden box containing vinyl records in front of a reorganised record collection…
This Xmas, my wife bought me a big wooden box to store ‘recent LP purchases’.
This has freed up a spare Kallax cube and so I’ve spent a very satisfying afternoon reorganising the jazz / reggae / blues / gospel / ‘world’ / general-weird-shit shelves to give everything a lil’ breathing space …

I saw the article on WalesOnline earlier. Glad he’s ok (if shaken up). Crazy stuff
Is your son home safe now ?
Somehow this is the first time I’ve ever seen that… absolutely howling…
The Sopranos season 3 episode 10 (“To Save Us All From Satan’s Power”).
“Listen you get nothing”
“Fuck you, Santa!”
I have a K9 version of this app
Public Service Announcement….
this Shackleton remixes release of Saagara’s “3” LP on Glitterbeat is **really fricking good**

A miniature schnauzer fast asleep on his Cookie Monster blanket, completely oblivious to the booms and bangs of the fireworks outside
If he’s inside and they are outside, Ralph is fairly nonplussed by fireworks.
On the other hand, he is absolutely terrified of the hoover / squeaky toys / his own farts.
I have to drive across Cardiff & back at some ungodly hour later tonight (ok… 10pm…) to pick up my eldest daughter and this is going to be my soundtrack…
… in this day + age of drastically shortened attention-spans, you have to love a band who fully commits to a 3hr 9m runtime for their new album…
The sleeve of The Necks’ “Disquiet” album in front of a pile of books
Finally found time to give The Necks’ new album a proper spin and can confirm it is incredibly good
I (re)watched Twin Peaks S1 / S2 / FWWM earlier this year (watched FWWM but only caught bits & pieces of the first 2 series when they aired…)
After leaving an appropriate amount of time to reflect the 25 year time-gap, I’m now starting to watch Twin Peaks: The Return for the first time….
