I am attempting to kill whatever bugs are lurking around my system with leftover north Indian lamb curry from Friday night.

Not even that hungry, but this curry is medicine so I have to be a good boy and eat it all.

Waking up with a cough and sore throat can’t stop Jazz & Coffee Sunday. In fact it makes it more important. Some Jazz Messengers to start today, the ever present Art Blakey on drums of course. #CasSunday #Jazz #CassetteTapes #HardBop

Dismayed and a little embarrassed of #NFFC today. The owner is unhinged. How can one man unilaterally derail a club that was enjoying their best form and success for almost 30 years? I have supported Forest for nearly 50 years, half a century, but I’m honestly on the verge of giving up.

If that’s for breakfast then I salute you 🫡

Hungover, but up early to watch the cricket like a hero. I suspect I qualify for some sort of medal. #EngNZ

Last one for tonight. #McCartney. Possibly the best solo debut album ever. Arguably.

Jonny Revival @revivalrecords.co.uk · 3d

Well….its #Beatles adjacent.

I love the early McCartney solo albums. This has some real gems on it. #vinyl

Jonny Revival @revivalrecords.co.uk · 3d

Indeed. Very hard to pick an outright favourite. If I had a gun against my head I’d probably say Abbey Road but could be any from Sgt Peppers onwards.

Continuing with #TheBeatles and #Revolver

Imagine hearing this for the first time.

Jonny Revival @revivalrecords.co.uk · 3d

Great album.

Jonny Revival @revivalrecords.co.uk · 3d

We’re going to The Cavern in Liverpool in about 3 weeks (a birthday present from the wife) so maybe time to immerse ourselves in The Beatles for the next few weekends.

For some reason I’ve been thinking about this LP all day. So let’s start Friday evening off with The Jam. More and more I love this album - it’s so raw from a very young Weller and co. Great stuff.

This is where I probably get loads of ‘where have you been?’ replies and I find out of course that everybody else has heard of them! Anyway, link to one of the tracks off their ‘New Seed Saga’ here:

If you like progressive rock (think Yes/Rush/Genesis) then check out this Huddersfield based band, Memnor. I’ve just come across them and they’re great. Shame there aren’t too many releases but hopefully more to come. #Memnor #TheNewSeedSaga #NowPlaying

This just came on shuffle on the old car iPod. Great tune. #IpodShuffle #ManicStreetPreachers

Sorted it 😎

Trial and error with JSON arrays and the thumbnail art now shows correctly.

Also added in search functionality.

Wondering now whether to simply use this method going forward - simplifies things having just one place to manage stock.

Got my Discogs marketplace inventory now synching to the website, which is a step in the right direction. Can’t figure out how to get the artwork though. Anybody done this or have any suggestions? #discogs #coding

Ah Buckfastleigh. Is that where you’re from? My wife’s family were all from that area. They owned half of it at one time (long ago) including the mill. We still own a useless field next to the church that burned down 😄

Been quite off gaming for the last few months, but this is surprisingly good. Alan Wake II was a freebie for this month’s PS+ games and it has hooked me back in. Genuinely scary too.

Promotional image of the Alan Wake 2 game. A female FBI agent is seen navigating a hell like red forest carrying a torch and pistol. The protagonist Alan Wake is seen almost vision like superimposed over the whole image. Title is written in capitals across the middle.

Today's #TuneTuesday theme, #BigCrescendos, is looking for songs with exciting high points.

This is probably the most obvious track with a cacophonous crescendo and the first one that popped into the brain this morning.

The Beatles - A Day In The Life

Gorkys Zygotic Mynci are a terrific band from Wales, sometimes they sing in the Welsh language, especially early on in their career, but mostly not. I really rate them, and if you don’t know them I highly recommend checking them out.

Barafundle from 1997.

Still in the ‘D’ rack and another album I haven’t played for ages. Gave it a preemptive clean. I do now have a sudden urge to watch Apocalypse Now though.

Playing because I happened to see it whilst putting Dire Straits back in the rack and thought hell yeah! Haven’t played this for a while - seems like a good day for it.

Right, time to prep some veg. I may as well continue with another Straits album.
