I’m so happy with this comp. No acetates or anything recovered from a degrading quarter inch… all songs that will be familiar to anyone who woke up to Wogan/Ray Moore/Steve Jones in the 80s. www.acerecords.co.uk/weds-morning...

This sounds like something Captains Tanguy and Laverdure would've had something to do with. Right up their boulevard.
The USA has already deployed U2 aircraft in the skies of allied countries without their consent.
In June 1967, French radars detected a U2 heading towards a French nuclear facility.
A Mirage IIIE was quickly dispatched from the with the mission of intercepting the intruder.

When this came out in the USA, it had a load of extra Hammond on it, and sounded all the better for it. Have a listen. Tell me you don't agree... youtu.be/iggzVjGRft4?... -

The more I find out about the RAM chip shortage, and now the Hard Drive Storage shortage, the more I am grateful for the fact that most, if not all, of my computing needs are currently met by a collection of old but perfectly serviceable equipment that's not in any immediate need of an upgrade-

New Railcard video! Stocks of their debut CD are diminishing… and they are only available from us and from @slumberlandrecords.com
"Disco Loadout" is one of our fave songs on the new Railcard CD, a tune for every band that's been asked to play an early set and then get off the stage FAST so that the crowd-pleasing DJs can get to work. Yep, it's a thing.

Dear Middle-Aged Moaners,
as a pissed-off bloke in his 70s, I deplore in the strongest possible terms your lazy assumption that all old people approve of Reform.
No. They are, like the Tories before them, like the tech bros ahead of them, a peloton of cunts.

My dead cat Biggles isn’t on this list but in spite of this he’s still got better odds than any of the Reform/Restore/Rewind As The Crowd Say Bo Selecta mob at forming a government at the next election.
More news outlets need to focus on this fact, frankly.

Labour are once again favourites with Ladbrokes to win the most seats at the next General Election - narrowly.
Labour at 13/8 with Reform at 7/4 (14/8) and the Conservatives at 11/2
The election is probably over three years away: Reform lead the polls, but have dipped to 28% from 31%

This was flipping brilliant. And the theme tune, by Alan Price, has an earlier, more O Lucky Man soundtrack adjacent predecessor that’s worth checking out youtu.be/L5w2gair0VA?...

Just putting this out there, as a proud Alesis Micron owner, that the Alesis Micron may well have the best emulation of an RMI electric piano of any keyboard or plugin, and it’s the nuts if you’re after that Tony Banks Carpet Crawlers vibe. The “Black Knobby” preset is also absolute moog perfection

Jay’s Shoebox Shuffle Vol 5. This, my friends, is truly exceptional. 50 minutes of mostly mid-late 60s pop obscurities. Every single one a mini masterpiece. A Bob Stanleyesque deep dive worthy of its own Ace release. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ youtu.be/4Ua4cPr6TAA?...

I once nearly fell down a hole in a field near his illegally converted agricultural buildings in Upper Tysoe. Also a sheep in an adjacent field looked at me in a funny way.
