Few new followers so probably time to say that I’ve put out five albums for their vinyl debut in the last 20 months. They are all different yet all exceptional albums. Available from me here:
unspunheroes.ampwall.com // unspunheroes.bandcamp.com // most indie record shops worldwide.

BlueSky bio updated.
Next week, I’ll be in Horsham.
If that doesn’t make it into the Unspun Heroes mythology somehow, we’re doomed.

Been listening to this today, pretty much on repeat while doing some stocktaking for @logofiasco.bsky.social - if you like Melt Yourself Down this will likely be for you.
The album is Mother, Give Your Children Sanity by Codex Serafini.

My accountant sent me over my accounts today. Let's just say that Rachel Reeves had it easy in comparison.

Save your money and go see @heykidsshop.bsky.social for a far superior (and more inexpensive) selection of decorations. Maybe he'll get in on the act and make some Eltons?
I’m all for hanging oddities on your Christmas Tree that mean something to you, something unusual
But, £900 for a set of Elton John Glass Ornaments…..
Guess Reg needs the cash

@andymack.bsky.social For some reason I was out of sync on the numbers for your monthly playlist. Seems I'd missed #86. Fixed that now: music.apple.com/gb/playlist/...
Second to last track is missing, again for some weird Apple Music reason. It's this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=V93E...

Any #vinylsanta people reading this, take note of the final point.
Well:
1) I file right to left, so that’s the back end of the library section
2) That’s The Mozart Lounge LP
3) I don’t actually own a copy of No Parlez (shocka)

There’s some fab songwriting and compositional touches on this album << pointing @assistant.bandcamp.com towards this!
Enjoyed the use of brass on Trespass, and the Croydon Billy Bragg-ness of Uniform.

Jimmy Cliff’s Legends slot at Glastonbury some 20+ years ago was more than worth the entrance fee. Not sure if went to bed or just settled down after a night of dancing but his set is memorable despite much of the festival being vague to me now.

I was initially concerned, when I received an email at the weekend, that ‘SubstandardStack’ was trying to scam me, but the actual story is even worse.
This has lost me thousands of pounds (not to mention book sales) and put me in a state of terror and panic. I urge anyone thinking of moving their list from Substack, or wanting to know more about how Substack works, to read it....
I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Long drive. Very tired.

Fab gig last night. Got to meet @colincassells.bsky.social which was an unexpected delight.
Bands were ace. Live music is the best.

Reminder that if you’re in or near Glasgow then this is happening tomorrow evening. If it’s even half as amazing as the London show it’ll be incredible. Therefore it’ll be incredibly incredible. Don’t miss it!

Right. I have to be up about 4am to get driving for 8 hours or so. With breaks for coffee and nourishment (and fuel for the car, although it’s a hybrid so doesn’t need much). So bedtime for me.
