Pleasing trip to the high street.
Bought 50 singles. Here are some of the highlights.
Especially happy to have those Love 45s, finally.

Air - Sexy Boy
I was, and remain obsessed with Moon Safari, and feel like an absolute chump for not going to their show at the Albert Hall last September.

Happy Mondays - Step On
I remember this was originally marked for release on an NME covers compilation (Ruby Trax?) until someone emerged from an e-fuelled haze and realised they had a stone-cold classic 45 on their hands. Banger. Obvs.

Madonna - Into the Groove
I've had the Immaculate Collection on repeat in the car since the summer. Saw her at Earl's Court around the time of her Music album and it was pop perfection.

Chas & Dave - Strummin'
Aside from Chas & Dave, my old man was the only person I knew to say, Gertcha. Anyway. Chas & Dave had chops. And as everyone knows, it's them playing on Labi Siffre's I Got The... which Eminem sampled on My Name Is.

The Stone Roses
An exceptional run of 45s. Forgive the lack of symmetry - my copy of Elephant Stone is MIA, apparently.
RIP Mani.

The White Stripes - My Doorbell
I rarely go back and play the White Stripes, but whenever I do, I'm reminded what a great band they were. It's never going to happen, but I would be delighted if they announced another record.

The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy (1985) LP
Implausible as it might sound, this INCREDIBLE record is 40 years old this week.

Spacemen 3 - Take Me to the Other Side
Very heartening to see a big chunk of my feed this morning devoted to celebrating Pete Kember and Jason Pierce's 60th birthdays. Spacemen 3 have always been right at the heart of my love of noise.

Even the murderer, the guy who ordered the journalist to be executed and dismembered with a bone saw, looks a bit embarassed for our American president.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Air - The Virgin Suicides Redux (2025) Aircheology LP
I have the OG version, so I asked a pal if this was worth getting and he described it as 'beefily analogue' and I said take my money.

Nick Lowe - Cruel to Be Kind
A great 45. I imagine Nick Lowe to be the kind of guy who would give you a lend of his lawnmower or jet washer if he was your neighbour. Even if this isn't true, I want it to be.

Mike Morton Combination - Burning Bridges
I bought this to tide me over until I got the Kelly's Heroes OST on LP back in the day. Note for note copy, but somehow it sounds slightly off compared to the Mike Curb Congregation version.

We always say, "Alright, Columbo", when someone works something out that's really obvious.
Like, it's literally right here in your settings dad.
Alright, Columbo.

They could never make a movie about the Jam but I would like to pitch: cold-as-ice BBC2 drama about Weller telling Bruce and Rick he was splitting the Jam. Ken Loach to direct. Peter Capaldi to play John Weller.

This (and the rest of this thread) is a beautiful tonic.
A quick little throwaway tune in RUTLAND WEEKEND TELEVISION from the late, great Neil Innes.

I'd love to hear various artists cover this ditty in concert... (Which artist will take up the challenge first?)

The line about Robbie Gibb squatting on the board of the BBC "like a toad made of farts" made me roar.
Traitors on the inside, Trump on the outside ... who’d want to run the BBC now? Actually, I would
