I feel lucky I'm old enough to have seen the Clash and their songs just keep on giving. Here's a Clash quartet, a few other 45s, and a power pop 12 I was obsessed with back in the day. Take it easy!

Tracker, Mark Knopfler's album from 2015 is my favourite record right now. Beryl (about author Beryl Bainbridge) was selected as the lead single but for me it should have been Lights of Taormina, which references Bob Dylan. Thanks as always @riverman.bsky.social

As Monday approaches like a jail on wheels I shall reluctantly stop playing my 45s and thank @jimmyviz.bsky.social for his moderating magnificence. Thanks @trevorpalmer.bsky.social for the Half Man Half Biscuit introduction. Now find me a Flake - I haven't seen one for years!

Great to see everyone's posts today. I'm playing a few tunes after my daughter's Mamma Mia-themed 16th birthday party which was a great success I'm glad to say!

The voice of Charley Pride transports me back to the early 1970s when I enjoyed a pretty unrestricted childhood in Llandrindod Wells, a Mid-Wales backwater. My uncle Max would bring us a Pride LP every year he visited
