I refuse to believe that this gave nobody pause for thought anywhere along the production line. Asda are filthy bastards.

Will this flu carry me off before we all go together when we go? Will winter end before nuclear winter starts? It’s all to play for.

It doesn’t feel like a Saturday night, but according to my calendar it is one, and I reckon we could all use a little rock’n’roll medicine. 2 hours of RnR/R&B/doo-wop/rockabilly to warm the blood this freezing evening:

Heard another girl group tune yesterday with a similar intro to this great record, and it’s been floating in and out of my head ever since.

It would be nice to have a day or so when this song isn’t horribly relevant.

Played the a-side to this on the latest Haunted Jukebox but this wild little doo-wop rocker is even better (which is probably why I played it first, many shows ago).

That Imperial rockabilly compilation I got last weekend is NOT disappointing - knew it had to be good when I saw it had Hip Hip Baby on it.

‘So it’s only the Friday now?!’ - me, looking at my phone this morning. Just going to have to remind myself what day it is with songs now, like a five year old learning a foreign language.

Some exhibits from New Year’s Eve: the only selfie I found on my phone from the night, and a screenshot of the note I made to remind me of my shame and hubris.

In case you were doing more interesting things/already asleep at midnight last night, there’s a new episode of Haunted Jukebox up, brimming over with great party rock’n’roll, rhythm & blues, doo-wop, rockabilly, & more.

Content warning at the beginning of the episode of Letterkenny I just put on, on ITVX: ‘contains very strong language and adult conversation’. I’m worried by the fact that ITV considers adult conversation something that viewers must be warned of in advance in case they’d rather avoid it.

I kid you not, at the exact moment I picked up the remote to turn off the music and put a TV show on, this song started.

This is a real shoulders relaxing down, head gently bobbing with the eyes closed kinda number. Beautiful (and has also made it feel about four hours later than it is).

Brilliant doo-wop rocker, with some great guitar touches and a pinch of scorching sax.

I absolutely love Chuck Jackson’s cut of this (think it was the first of his records I ever heard and it certainly left an impression), but this version at near-breakneck speed is fucking great, too.

As accidental tableaux go, this one is a pretty good representation of my brain.

#musicsky #vinyl #nowspinning
Two record cabinets side by side. To the left is a standard black IKEA job, decorated for Christmas, with a turntable on the top and a red radio on one of the shelves in front of the records. To the right is a solid teak 70s number, with separate shelves for singles etc on its right hand side. On top is a stereo and small CD unit, all of which are covered, like the floor in front of the cabinet, with piles of CDs and stacks of records. The top also houses a vintage magazine rack with sheet music and playing guides in it, a perpetual calendar showing the wrong date, and a stick of jingle bells. The three LP covers that are clearly visible are Here Comes Some Soul From Otis Redding and Little Joe Curtis, Delroy Wilson - Lover’s Rock, and Jimmy McCracklin - Think.

Got a record token for Christmas, so I felt fully justified in buying even more records the other day.

Two modern single-artist compilation LPs: Jackie Edwards - Mister Peaceful Delroy Wilson - Lover’s Rock The Jackie Edwards sleeve features a black and white portrait of the artist, with his name and the title on vertical red stripes to either side. The Delroy Wilson has a brightly coloured illustration of the artist next to some rocks (?) and a red hype sticker under the title/artist text.
