Why is Martin Fry from ABC in my local?

I have been dealing with a banged up knee now for 10 days and it's still causing me issues. If it doesn't miraculously heal in the next few days I'll have to break my rule of never wanting to trouble my doctor.

I won't embarrass myself with how I caused myself this injury.

I have now risen to the rank of "lender of records" where I let one of the local stores borrow a couple of my vinyls so they can play in the store to sell their sealed copies.

This should lead to larger discounts for me in the long run so it's hopefully win/win.

It's the 13th or 14th time seeing Australian Pink Floyd tonight.

I guess they don't mix up the setlists much which is a shame, but if they draw worldwide with the same music each tour I don't really blame them.

Prodigy Wrestling Bulletin Board on 2/26/1995.

Dave Prazak announced that UFC star Dan Severn had defeated Chris Candido for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Title.

Paul Carrack doing vocals on Money was a lovely surprise.
Roger Waters – KAOS FM 1987 (Bootleg)

Total bargain at €13. A great snapshot of Waters in that Radio KAOS period. These bootlegs are common but not sold this cheaply, so I jumped on it.

I've never ever liked him. My vendetta against Punk goes way way back.
Punk should never have got in. He seriously harmed the business, by what he did in AEW.

I'm not sure what upsets me more, the fact that Big Daddy didn't get in the Wrestling Observer Hall Of Fame or that CM Punk did.

I'm obsessed with this album, especially side B.
Manuel Göttsching – E2 E4

An absolute landmark album. One hour of minimal bliss that influenced techno, ambient and everything in between. Clean repress copy too. Very happy with this.

Mike Okay and Sean Ross Sapp have never been seen together at the same time.

The brilliant thing about this is that Charlie Hollis (Son of Mark Hollis) did the mix with Lee Harris, drummer of the band.

One of the greatest albums of all time.

This will be getting the pre-order treatment.

Butterfly effect: No George = no significant ECW coverage in PowerSlam = no Sabu in UK shows = possibly no Erik Isaksen restarting wrestling scene in Norway and probably no FWA as we know it (Dino Skarlo/Alex Shane version) so in turn possibly no Rev Pro and no Will Ospreay/Gabe Kidd in NJPW.

25 years after Kenny McBride started transcribing TV Times back issues... and 60-something years after the likes of Ray Plunkett began collecting results... the ITV wrestling run is finally a structured dataset.

And now we get to work on the database tool...

Back from Den Bosch and here’s the haul I promised. The fair really is as big as everyone says. Two halls of chaos and treasure. Here’s what I picked up. 🧵 #MusicSky

Got a lovely little haul today at the world's biggest record fair today in Den Bosch, Holland.

I'll post what I've got tomorrow when I'm back at Blackpool HQ.

Mildly happy with HoF 2025 class.

On a ferry to Rotterdam from Hull. The trip is to go to the world's biggest record fair.

Ferry life is absolutely mad.

He's the weakest candidate on the entire ballot, but we've got historians (albeit non UK ones) voting for him.

I can't understand it.
Woah now Cheapshot, leave Adrian Street out of this! Imagine what he would do to you.
