Vinyl collector - especially 7” singles, meditator, member of Triratna Buddhist Order.
Seem to have developed a thing for vintage paperbacks.
Low woo threshold, likes an evidence base.

Of course the mother of all 1960s theme tunes for music fans wasn’t for the screen, it was for the wireless.
All together now pop pickers -

I’ve not been well this week, so slow to get this together - 16 x 1960s themes from the big and small screen, 12 originals & the last 4 represses.
The not-very-memorable Dankworth Avengers theme preceded the magisterial Laurie Johnson masterpiece (hard sought, and one the jewels of my collection).

Sorry to hear the news of Jimmy Cliff’s death while I was away.
Playing this rather lovely ‘69 first press in commemoration - which, remarkably, is very far from condition:reggae.

Here go then, we’ve finally hit 1967, and here’s the first #WeekendSingles batch of them (with one ‘66 interloper).
Are you going for fringed buckskin and droopy moustache; cheesecloth, Afghan coat and flowers in your hair; or paisley cravat and vintage cavalry officer’s jacket?

Since I was listening to a @500songspodcast.bsky.social podcast about You’re Gonna Miss Me when I realised it was #12InchTuesday (it’s almost like they come round every week), I thought I’d better post it - even though it’s a 10”.
So here it is, along with another three 10”s.

Is everybody else being followed by multiple fake left wing US accounts every day, or have I accidentally posted something that makes me a specific target.

A curiosity.
2 years after the original, remarkably similar instrumentation, but with a disco drum machine, so it loses any swing.
Plus a gender swap in the verse, which is particularly odd as the song makes more sense from a woman’s perspective.
MMc didn’t enjoy the ‘Vomit Comet’.

This is my last ‘mid 60s’ #WeekendSingles set - although there will be a repress set at some point - all my other original stuff is boxed up for my move.
Notables include an Indian press of The Kinks & the rare first Alan Bown release. I’ve posted the Nuggets stuff before, but I do love them.

Another batch of mid-sixties releases for #WeekendSingles
I’m chomping at the bit to get into 1967, and the extraordinary efflorescence of the late sixties.
Nevertheless, there’s some great stuff here - and in this series I’ve mostly restricted myself to posting just one disc by each artist.

Actually, there is a real world effect here: it dehumanises others.
It supports the NPC mindset - if other people are just code, then it doesn’t matter if you mistreat or kill them.
By contrast, Blake’s epithet ‘Everything that lives is holy’ encourages us to treat others with respect and care.

Watching this YouTube UFO video of two guys talking about information theory & how the universe is a simulation and all I’m thinking is even if this is true it doesn’t affect my existence in any meaningful way
