Just back from seeing 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and I hope they clear up what happened to the records in the next film.

A very late 80s dilemma played out in a charity shop today. A couple of Gen Z-ers were discussing whether to buy a Queen Greatest Hits CD in case they got a player for their living room. However one had just bought a cassette player and so they decided against it.

Seeing a lot of posts regarding a certain AI-generated image of a high street, with various comments about how Our Price was never blue. However, that's not strictly true.

Just came home to find my #VinylSanta package on my doorstep. Fair play to the trustworthy people of my neighbourhood as it's been there for nearly three hours! 👍

Any fans of iconic jazz/swing band The Craps might want to get themselves over to eBay.

I'm glad my own band made it onto my Spotify top songs playlist but maybe I should have played it a few more times than that.

Had a small amount of time between trains at Birmingham New Street earlier and inadvertently stumbled across "the birthplace of heavy metal".

I'm pretty sure I just saw John Deacon from Queen on a train in Cambridge. Looking exactly like these photos.

Uh-oh, I appear to have a new version of the Discogs app. I'm sure it'll be fine. 😬

Looking through some new-in records in a chazza today when a really annoying guy squeezed into a non-existent gap between me & someone else to flick through some others before standing over me while I went through the ones I'd picked out to review. So obviously I bought the lot just to piss him off.

Some spammy Discogs activity happening today. Same 2 users being discussed in a forum. Beware! www.discogs.com/forum/thread...

A numbered White Album in a chazza for a quid? Don't mind if I do. (It's the CD, but still ...).

The Blues Brothers on BBC4. I first saw this at a late night screening in Swindon after being turned away from The Brunel Rooms, where Tigertailz were playing. It was a nightclub and we were all 16. I think I got the better deal. Though I did go on to see Tigertailz a couple of times ...

Overheard: "The Charlatans, Stone Roses, Happy Mondays ... They all sound the same". Feel free to discuss.

Well, that certainly escalated. 🤷

Have just discovered that my 16yo was unaware of the saying "Red sky at night, shepherds delight".

Flukily timed return to the scene of the crime. Feel unreasonably disappointed that Totally Wired 1 wasn't there. Plus some more #VinylSanta potentials that I haven't photographed.
