The 1 #RSD release I was really interested in getting picked up from #IgniteRecordStore pop up shop after they & all the other traders were ceremoniously kicked out of Oasis Market with no warning. Thankfully Rich was able to sort something temporary (with hopes to make it permanent) out last minute

Another bunch of lesser spotted charity shop cd’s picked up from the same shop I had the last lot I posted up the other week (top 2 in left are Iceage albums) over this last week. Also picked up Can Tago Mago on cd there for a friend as I’ve got it on cd & record! Been a hell of a run on cd’s there!

Some excellent and unexpected charity shop cd finds today, Miles Davis, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Kyuss and Swans, less than £5 spent. The Swans one was a real surprise to see, a double cd and a live DVD package.

And here’s David Yow crowd surfing last night!

January cobwebs truly blown away last night by @thejesuslizard.bsky.social what a fantastic first gig of 2025 that was! David Yow constantly crowd surfing was amazing, and the band were shit hot. Never thought I’d get chance to see them live, definitely worth travelling up to Manchester for

Last record postal delivery of the year, OCS/Thee Oh Sees/OSees Live at Permanent Records. Ive now got 42 albums/Comps/Live Albums/EP’s/12”s by the band across various name monikers. Seeing them back in a tiny basement bar in 2010 turned me from a fan to fully obsessed with them!

Yeah, I’d have been happy if I’d only won this, the first package I got was this Dylan and The Band triple lp set which is fantastic

Great evening at Rough Trade Nottingham for an in conversation, Q&A, signing & DJ set with Don Letts. Engaging, energetic, funny, lots of great stories told, both musical and personal. Great to meet him, a big of a hero of mine having worked with 2 of my favourite bands, The Slits & The Clash

Made a visit to Moseley Record Fair in Birmingham today, it’s a great fair, ran by really friendly people, been going to it for over a decade now. Purchases from
The Birthday Party, The Monochrome Set, Neneh Cherry, Sisters of Mercy & Alan Vega with Alex Chilton & Ben Vaughn made.

Saw about this compilation early this week, released by Honest Jon’s Records. The sleeve & knowing Checker was linked to Chess Records made me check it out on Bandcamp, within 4/5 snippets of songs I ordered it. Played it tonight, funky, soulful, uplifting, an absolute cracker. Check it out.

Been to see him do an in store gig and signing in Birmingham this afternoon, was fantastic, his voice sounds even better live, and was a really nice guy. Not had chance to play album yet as we then made an impromptu decision to go to another gig this evening but looking forward to listening tomorrow

Tonight, and a first time viewing, #WimWenders Wings Of Desire. A birthday present from a friend last month. I love Paris, Texas and Perfect Days is one of my favourite films of this year, so looking forward to adding another WW film to film watching belt as such.

Sat listening to another couple of my favourite albums (Kim Gordon and Beth Gibbons) of the year tonight trying to put an order to my albums of the year list for @recordculture.bsky.social its fun but hard work deciding the order! Also makes me realise how many records/cd’s I’ve bought this year!

Top Saturday so far, had my #AmylandtheSniffers LP I won from @normanrecords.bsky.social & latest @electronicsound.bsky.social Magazine in post, Met #AstonVilla legend Dennis Mortimer, found 4 33/3 books in charity shop & picked up Magazine Correct Use Of Soap Reissue in #StylusRecords in Lichfield

Still on a high from seeing #NickCaveandtheBadSeeds last night, felt very cathartic, powerful and uplifting. I’ll never be an arena gig fan, but they made it feel so much more personal than anything I’ve ever experienced in an arena.

Listening to #NickCaveandtheBadSeeds Wild God ahead of seeing live for the 1st time tomorrow, been a fan for years, was going to go the previous cancelled tour. Meeting him was an incredible experience, as soon as he saw my Suicide t shirt he got excited & had a conversation about the band.

This double CD compilation helped open the floodgates to the world of Post Punk/No Wave and much more, I bought it when I was 20/21 (2004) my record/cd collection and my musical tastes wouldn’t be the same without it. It’s also cost me a bloody fortune over the years!

If you can see this post a beach from your record collection

Giving one of my Christmas record gifts a listen now, R.E.M.’s ‘Up’. With this added to my R.E.M. collection it’s just the recent reissues of Reveal, Around The Sun and Collapse Into Now I need to buy (got a bit of Christmas cash to do so) to have a complete studio album collection by them.

Spending my Saturday starting to read the Kleenex/Liliput book, whilst listening to yesterday’s charity shop cd purchases, Neon Neon, a Wipers covers album, and Toots & The Maytals.
