I imagined finding 'The Street and The Sea' by Perky Quinby and Gavin Gervis one day at a boot fair or in a charity shop. It has a cover that looks like it would nestle happily at the back of a cardboard box. Sold at shows only in the 70's. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g28B...

My copy of 'Four Sail' is well worn, found in a charity shop in Hexham, and I will never forget the first rush of hearing 'August.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPnR...

This cd was recommended to me at the much missed Chester-le-Street Saturday market, £4 well spent. The stalls have scattered but can still be found on a weekend in the North East.

Watching 'The Entertainer' again reminds me of all those trips to Blackpool as a kid. Now it's for Rebellion, and I often stand where Alan Bates and Joan Plowright are in the Empress Ballroom scene. I'm sure they'd be partial to a little Subhumans or Clowns.

"In May of 1996 Cocteau Twins were well into the Milk and Kisses tour... What you have here is a backup live stereo recording (DAT tape) that I ran off while mixing the sound in mono for the web feed."

Hello. I would like to celebrate the lost art of the compilation album as an eye and ear opening path into pleasures previously unknown. It might be a sampler, it might be a mix album but it's a person's singular vision of a particular genre or theme. Thread below of some favourites

wild 1st night of hanukkah, opening with neil young's "big crime" (& owning it!) plus a dreamier than usual appearance by @sunrauniverse.bsky.social horns, including a few they'd never played together (stunner "we travel the spaceways" into "let's be still"). setlist: jessejarnow.com/2025/12/yo-l...

Happy birthday to Mike Scott. Here's a joyous video of him singing his Waterboys classic The Whole of the Moon with a bunch of very excited schoolchildren in Clifden, County Galway, Ireland in 1987 youtu.be/pLAPOxpXGkU

This gloriously fluffy December moth looks dressed for the season, don't you think?

Today's #WinterWonder is one of the few moths you'll spot at this time of year. No Christmas dinner for these guys though – they don't actually feed, instead relying on energy reserves built up as a caterpillar.

MC50 at Glasgow in 2018, it was a show I often think about. A band enjoying themselves, and such a great sound. This LP is from that period... youtu.be/tfaJ_eaoEY4?...

Many years ago there was a friendly little charity shop in Sacriston, ladies knitting and making tea. Behind a curtain there was often a pile of LP's. A strange mixture, you might find Funkadelic, Shirley Collins, Teenage Fanclub, or Roger Miller... youtu.be/5VQ1l8KgGYY?...

Went to the Sally Heesom talk on Friday about the work done in our area to vaccinate badgers. An excellent night, but a sad state of affairs.

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.
