Ladies and Gentlemen, a superb Yuletide continues, with another #VinylRoastDinner involving beef, a true classic from Spiritualized and a cheeky little Malbec. May you all float in space.

On this seasonal Xmas #VinylRoastDinner, I give you The Smiths’ The Queen is Dead. Morrissey may be a bit of a turkey these days, so that is the meat of choice. An exquisite cream sherry gives the occasion suitable aplomb. Merry Xmas to all #VinylRoastDinner fans. X

I’m going early, presenting the much coveted BDJ Album of the Year Award. A quiet year quality wise, but a completely deserved victory for Squid and their superb album, Cowards. Listen and listen well.

The last #VinylRoastDinner before Christmas showcases Genesis’ best album, ‘Nursery Cryme’. A leg of lamb and a Hafod Lager jostle for attention, but it’s a big ask where Peter Gabriel is involved, who predictably and justifiably steals the show.

Pink Floyd’s debut album gives festive cheer. Tesco club card lamb leg and Vocation add flavour. Various vegetables add garnish, vitamins and fibre. Gravy steals the glory. #VinylRoastDinner

It’s 12 months to the day since I saw Fontaines DC live, so Skinty Fia is serenading the kitchen while beef, garlic stuffing, leeks and crispy roasties ready themselves for glorious consumption. Vocation’s Life and Death provides a very impressive 6.5% punch. #VinylRoastDinner

It’s nigh on unheard of that a #VinylRoastDinner offering is repeated but this week is a justified exception. My battered, Stone Roses debut sounds a bit scratchier and skips more that it did when bought on release, but there’s a reason for that. Oh, brisket and PunkIPA #RIPMani

Another #VinylRoastDinner sourced from the goth section of the collection this week, with The Mission’s debut album on the deck which never disappoints. A San Miguel is in the glass and a great big leg of lamb is in the oven.

A bold statement, but this aural offering is unequivocally the best live album in history. Neil Young & Crazy Horse are on incendiary form. It requires some high level meat accompaniment, so a duo of brisket and lamb rub shoulders with godfather of punk. #VinylRoastDinner

A fine FA Cup weekend of football, beer and a runny scotch-egg is followed by a box-office #VinylRoastDinner involving Radiohead’s most underrated album, @CwrwLlyn’s Porth Neigwl IPA, a succulent pork loin and red cabbage.

The price of brisket is prohibitive. Even a leg of lamb is cheaper. Fields of the Nephilim’s sophomore album distracts me from this fact with a Purple Moose Pale Ale keeping my mind firmly fixed on today’s #VinylRoastDinner

Yes live, Polly’s Rosebud and a pork and gammon duo. Gravy, crackling and garlic stuffing all on point. Cheesy leeks playing the maverick ingredient. #VinylRoastDinner

Rush’s final recording with drummer Neil Peart is always a poignant listen. Hearing they’re back on the road in 2026 with a new drummer made this fine reissue an essential purchase & perfect accompaniment to this week’s #VinylRoastDinner along with brisket & Polly’s ‘Patternist’

I’m having a week off from Sunday kitchen duties at Chez Dennis, due to the eldest son’s 21st birthday celebrations. As a result, it’s your #VinylRoastDinner with a twist, incorporating a pint of Polly’s, pink roast beef with all the trimmings and Joy Division attire.

Chicken, stuffing and an array of vegetables accompany Prefab Sprout on the deck. However, said vegetable is missing from today’s #VinylRoastDinner at the expense of cauliflower, carrots, broccoli and green beans. I’m sure Paddy will forgive me. IPA is once again in attendance.
