For new followers from around the world: This is what Shropshire looks like. It’s lovely, you’d like it here.
A glittering afternoon at Mitchell's Fold stone circle. The kind of snow that creaks underfoot. It was absolutely baltic. I wore my big mitts.

With all the doom and gloom, a little more. Still with its original inner sleeve (just about disintegrating) #vinyl #vinylsky

A healthy democracy has: checks & balances to power, media of all stripes to criticize & scrutinize, a bi-cameral system to regulate legislation & ensure all decisions are ratified an agreed, all to ensure that power is not concentrated in the hands of a single individual. The US has none of these.

Well 2026 is nearly upon us and with it our annual chance to commemorate and reflect upon 'Vienna' being kept off No 1 spot by Joe Dolce's 'Shaddup You Face', something akin to a war crime in Western circles. Lest we forget.

Weird guitar/bass combos, weird lyrics but an outstanding album. #vinyl #vinylsky

Time for some indie. Is this indie? I’m not even sure what the definition is nowadays. Either way, it’s an excellent album, you should listen to it. #vinyl #vinylsky

Wow, playing a through ball instead of checking back, turning and playing to the side/backwards results in a goal! Who would have thought it?

I’ll finish up tonight with a bit of Devo #vinyl #vinylsky

Classic British blues. Who Will Save the World? The Mighty Groundhogs #vinyl #vinylsky

Nothing screams Xmas more like a cartoon farmer 69’ing a sheep. I think they chose this art to shock; nothing in the album relates to zoophilia. #vinyl #vinylsky

Still in a punky mood, one of NOFX’s better albums and I love the cover art. #vinyl #vinylsky

Fairly obvious route one choice this evening but you can’t beat a bit of Clash #vinyl #vinylsky

I slipped and fell backwards whilst going into our tiny downstairs toilet the other day. Dismayed to find out that my entire right arse cheek is now a massive, angry purple bruise.

Something different - a Greek band that play stoner rock (whatever that means) but with a sprinkling of traditional Greek folk instruments. Kind of like a Greek Steeleye Span. Anyway, they are awesome - check them out #vinyl #vinylsky

This is a hill I am prepared to die on but I think this is one of the Chili Peppers’ best ever records. #vinyl #vinylsky

Only found out recently that Ginger Baker plays drums on this album. I can’t even begin to imagine how that collaboration came about. #vinyl #vinylsky

One of my favourite Rush albums, although my copy has an annoying skip at the start of Cygnus-X1 #vinyl #vinylsky
December 26, 2025 at 8:56 PM
My favourite Budgie album but godawful album art. #vinyl #vinylsky
December 26, 2025 at 8:18 PM
I think I broke it - it's been stuck like this for a few minutes now.
December 24, 2025 at 11:41 PM
And now for something completely different - this oozes ‘20s Tin Pan Alley. #vinyl #vinylsky

Still in a punk mood, Life Won’t Wait aka Tim Armstrong learns about reggae. #vinyl #vinylsky

Revisiting my youth again tonight. Another excellent album from another underrated band. Although the brass section can get a little mushy in the mix. #vinyl #vinylsky

Xmas eve and time to listen to some punk rock cover songs with a glass of port #vinyl #vinylsky
December 24, 2025 at 9:17 PM
I love this album. It’s very rare to find an album where every single track is a banger but this meets that bar. RIP Joe Strummer, we miss you. #vinyl #vinylsky
