Currently playing as part of this morning's head down, working music choice.

Problem is, I keep lifting my head up to look out the window and listen. 😉😆

Lovely stuff from @scholarspeak.bsky.social

A photo of a cassette deck with a cassette case standing on it. The tapes cover art shows a radio mast on a hill there's a stylish rainbow behind the hill and a countryside track in front of the hill

During the listening party last night there was a little talk about one track in particular giving off @psbhq.bsky.social vibes. This is a huge compliment as I'm a big Public Service Broadcasting fan

Here's J Wilgoose & myself in Manchester a couple of years ago
