Seems Smokey approves my musical choices this evening (the song you can hear the end of, if you can hear it over the purrs, is The Emperors - I May Be Wrong).

Oh, that we might all be as cosy and content as my boy and his hairy little feet.

Soul cleanse/cathartic cry time.

One of my all-time favourites on the deck now, pictured here under its framed inner sleeve.

Feels like a ‘pulling out the classics’ kinda night - especially since I’ve finally put away all recent purchases and Christmas presents.

Spent the last of my Xmas record token on this. Blasting The Specials - an incredible band who would not have existed, like the rest of 2Tone ska, without Caribbean immigrants and the collaboration of musicians of different races - on this bloody awful day.

Got some sale bargains at RPM and one of the charity shops, too - rude not to at that price.

The elusive record from Monday has been found, purchased, and is already on my turntable. Some stellar NOLA soul, including rare singles I hadn’t a hope of owning otherwise, and unissued tracks.

The wind and rain are still battering fruitlessly against the windows, I left a doo-wop playlist going in the next room, and went to bed with a new book. Cosy doesn’t begin to describe the situation.

Sometimes my visceral reaction to the words ‘80s music’/hatred of 80s production makes me forget how much great music there was fighting against the tide of bland, soulless pap that decade.

Such a brilliant album. All killer, no filler, a perfect accompaniment to meat or fish.

Been to the supermarket in me curlers and headscarf like a low-rent Nana.

Another album I hadn’t listened to in a good while - seems to be the day for those. Love this one for probably the same reasons critics hated it - sometimes a lo-fi, claustrophobic, could-easily-be-one-long-song LP just hits the spot.

Pulled this out cos I haven’t heard it in ages, and can confirm it’s still a great time of an LP.

I’ve been absolutely devouring this book, my first Zola but definitely not my last. Thoroughly enjoying it, despite having to find it on Project Gutenberg to compensate for my very battered copy’s missing pages (which is a shame, because that translation doesn’t seem to be as good). #booksky

Gettin’ funky with the only record I ended up buying yesterday, despite sending two poor record shop staff scurrying all over looking for an LP (found the record, but not the sleeve) that ‘must be somewhere’. I am a scourge.

No idea why the sky over St. James’s was so yellow earlier, but it looked cool.

Jazz Photo Archives posted this on Instagram as unknown subject and photographer, titled Jazz From The Bleachers. I don’t know who took it, but that is clearly me back in the ‘50s.

Possibly my favourite Christmas present - someone even asked what it was so I got to do Bogey’s line, too - finally in its new spot on the bookcase.

At this point, I’m basically preparing a dossier on this pervy little twat and his associates.

This, too, from the same dealer (who, very helpfully, was selling everything at half the marked price). Very fuckin’ tasty.
