32 years since my mum passed. Had my annual pilgrimage to the old town to have a wander round and remember.

My Spotify audiobook listening time ran out with 6 mins left in the book. I”d increased the listening speed to 1.5x for the last hour, but no joy.

As a customer since the off you’d think there would be a ‘finish it on us’ rule when you’re that close.

I woke up with Oswald Defense Lawyer running through my head.

‘Oswald Defense Lawyer
Embraces the scruffed corpse of Mark Twain’

Could be worse.

I’ve spent the summer listening to the fabulous Still Out by KiF, their homage to Chill Out. I’d long wanted to do something similar so I gave it a go. It’s taken a few months, an hour here and there but I finished it the other day. It makes sense to me.

Inspired by listening to KiF Still Out all summer. This is my own take on Chill Out. I have throughly enjoyed Summer '25.

For fans of Chill Out by The KLF.

By a long way my favourite album of this year. This is very true to Chill Out. It’s a special album where each bit works perfectly with what has preceded it.

I can also recommend The FLK - We Know Where The Time Goes.

Charged the camera to take photos of the garden and got distracted.

The 2nd quarter of the year brought an assortment of albums. My birthday was during that period so my 2 albums / month went out the window.

A bumper day of ‘new’ records yesterday. One was a late Christmas present (very late), one was an early birthday present and this one I got with a voucher. Delighted this got a repress as I always wanted it. It’s deep, dark and hypnotic.

I forgot to post this. Thanks again @vinyloffers.bsky.social It’s not often I replace a CD but what can you do at £13. Great pressing as well.

Pygmalion - Slowdive (1995)

Thanks @vinyloffers.bsky.social It’s as good as I remember. You’ve made an old man happy.

We got this as a wedding present. We’ve watched it grow over the years and when it flowers it’s spectacular. It’s called ‘blushing bride’.

I promised myself it was 2 albums/month max this year. I’ve stuck to it religiously. Top to bottom Jan - April. Appreciate Lost in Translation isn’t new but I bought it new.

My mum had this up in my house when I was a kid in the 70s/80s. No wonder I’m riddled with emotional problems.

First listen of the new @heldbytrees.bsky.social album Hinterland. I’m sure I’ll love it as I’ve loved everything else they’ve done. They make music that speaks to me.

Curious Amazon customer journey this morning:

- Search for Father John Misty album
- Find album but it has thumbnail of a WiFi extender
- Tap on WiFi extender / album
- Taken to Singing In The Rain DVD.
- DVD selectable via weight.

Mrs W wanted to see an art exhibition in Dundee today, ‘You can go record shopping if you want’ she said.

I only picked up one album but it’s one I’ve always wanted. One of my favourite Soundtracks ever. Not a bad movie as well.

When The Horrors started out I thought they were awful, really terrible. I didn’t share the enthusiasm Jacko had. Then they made this.

What an album.
