Lazy. Likes vinyl records, 70s& 80s scifi, history, art, food, beer (and making up for it in the gym...) etc. etc. Dislikes the News, history is bad enough.
So this arrived from the States today... a wondrous slab of space rock/drone... Gnod - Drop Out with White Hills III. Accompanied by, as I'm a beer snob, St Bernadus Abt 12

For Henry Rollins, music is the antidote to the "tough haul" of human existence. Today, the punk icon turns 65.

So #VinylCommunity I have an old copy of #ThinLizzy 's Whisky In the Jar. It's not worth anything and it also doesn't have its original sleeve. I've found a replacement sleeve on ebay for a couple of quid. Would you replace it or not worry?

Put YouTube on to play music randomly and it's chucking out the songs I was listening to 8, 10 years ago. The algorithm doesn't forget.

Hello weekend!
Felt the urge to listen to some #Blondie this evening, starting with their 4th album Eat To The Beat. I think this album cemented their transition from punk to pop but also showed they could master a whole range of music.
Released 1979 on Chrysalis

For a soggy Sunday afternoon, I'm enjoying Hozier's self-titled 2014 album. His clear voice is lifting the spirits for sure. Take Me To Church? Not today, I'll just listen...

#NowPlaying and #NowStreaming because I can't afford the average £400 for the boxset according to @discogsofficial.bsky.social some of the Disintegration Loops by William Basinsky. Fascinating #Ambient music. The Disintegration of physical music media mirrored by the impermanence of human life

Two very different listens tonight... the mighty #BlackSabbath with their very last album 13 ❤️ (very special) and the sublime #EthelCain 2025 release Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You. I'm probably not Ms Cain's normal listening demographic but omg I love her work.

I passed my driving test in one of these, in 1984. Definitely showing my age there 😭🚗
This special edition Volkswagen Derby 1.1 CLS was offered on the UK market in early 1980, featuring enhancements including distinctive stripes on the c-pillar. The brochure text ended on a slightly snobbish note by suggesting the little saloon was 'more suitable for Ascot than Epsom'. #weirdcarbs

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.
