Woke lefty. Music, vinyl, gaming, books, politics & other stuff that tickles my fancy. Proud to be an #MDANT - yes, I have heard it
Excavating the last of Mum’s boxes after her recent move and she produced this artefact - a band I was in for a short while in the early 90’s.
The most notable memory was rehearsing in the same space as The Wedding Present - our career was otherwise unremarkable.

Yesterday, someone on here recommended this Finnish #ChristmasMovie; and I’m now recommending it to you. Absolutely marvellous, in a weird, off-kilter kind of way.

RatM were far from pioneers of fusing metal with rap/funk and hip-hop - but this album was a moment.
Fuck you, I still won’t do what you tell me 🤘

Next up for a slow Sunday. Hard to believe this came out in ‘83 - it feels as modern and dynamic now as it did then. Perhaps infamous for planting the seed in Jools Holland’s head that every song could be improved by his boogie-woogie piano stylings?

Sunday morning coffee, with a singular talent. I have a view that certain artists are touched by something otherworldly - Bjork is one such artist. Magical.

Just back from seeing CMAT in Sheffield. It was heaving and exuberant - she’s had quite a year.
I don’t get my phone out at gigs, so this was the best/only photo I managed. Enjoy it in all its blurry splendour!

I’m not doing Black Friday this year.
I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.
Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business.

Been watching this in recent days, starring the inestimable Samantha Morton; I thought it was new, but it seems to be several years old. ICY, like me, MI - it’s absolutely marvellous, with a cracking soundtrack 🐍

Is this the greatest hip-hop album of all time? I dunno - but it’s definitely *one of* the best - a ridiculously confident debut from a fully former superstar 🌟

I-I’m a human fly,

My longstanding love affair with @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social started here, about 40 years ago. Only just re-got this on vinyl, so had forgotten what a brilliant album it is. Post-punky, jazzy, dark and sophisticated; brilliant songwriting and musically v sophisticated. Great stuff 👌

A spare hour until Mrs Bren2k returns from a work trip; in what has become a teatime ritual, Iggy Pop and I are listening to a record. We are enjoying this one very much indeed 🙌

I do semi-regular cinema trips with my daughter - this week, she picked the below.
Quite possibly the most terrifying and disturbing film I’ve seen in many a year; I can’t shake it off. Watch at your own peril 😱
