Rumours of gigs incoming in June, to be announced Tuesday. I think I got the last vinyl in Probe and another bloke got the last CD

If I see 1/50 I'm 99% going to absolutely ignore that tweet and move on I have no idea what you're viewing twitter on but it doesn't sound like anything I view it on.

Can't get shit done without them

Walked into Probe, this is playing, what's this Bob, doesn't half sound like The Fall? There's a reason for that... Martin Brammah, Simon Wolstencroft, the Hanley Brothers and Pete Greenway. All ex members of The Fall, Witch Trials era clashes with the Brix years... Strong debut and a must for all Fall fans, the self titled... House of All

That Young Americans album cover is up there with the worst album covers ever, nothing wrong with the music but the cover absolutely screams no effort made here

yeah but gravy belongs on a roast. The baguette is the true crime there

@rjw63 I'd consider it an act of terrorism I mean come on, it's a compilation of all the hits and to a song they are all risible childish shite

Nah, they use him as their "balance", he's useful to them.

Jesus wept, what have you done wrong in your life to be punished in such a manner? A "festival" that features "Martin Kemp supported by some of the best UK tribute acts" Don't take razor blades, you might be tempted to use them

there's also this today from Russia

Thread Reader on twitter 1. Is it really that hard to read a thread of tweets? Not in my experience 2. Do we really need 50 people to all summon the thread reader - nope, its not an individual service Its one of those things that twitterers think is brilliant but in fact is a load of rubbish and actually just creates junk posts to block up the replies worth reading And I just spotted someone who does a thread reader final tweet in a thread he's created, how pointless is that? You need to have read the thread to find the thread reader tweet you dumbass

Shall give it a go in the car in the morning!

So talk of Pepe Deluxe meant this was next

That was my first thought too That was my second

I had the same thought the other day when I saw it

This is the guy that made that album for plants, Mort Garson, and... Hadn't actually made that connection, danke! EDIT: Sorry, yes you were talking about Cyrus Faryar, yes now you mention it is f***ing obvious. He records nothing of any note and nothing I can see since 1973 then pops up on a Pepe Deluxe album in 2021

After those two I've continued down a Carol Kaye rabbit hole, here with fellow members of the Wrecking Crew in a little side project of theirs The Zodiac put together by legendary Elektra Records label boss Jac Holzman. It's very much of it's time, experimental psychedelic rock and it's a concept album about the zodiac (12 songs each one named after a sign of the Zodiac). Also of note because its one of the first albums to feature a Moog synthesizer (along with the Monkees and the Doors in the same year - 1967) Trippy and weird, just the way I like it, the vocals are spoken word and as it says on the rear sleeve, best played in the dark

Missus is away in that there London, I'm home alone, can't be arsed working, I have beers, snacks and tunes. I'm settled in for the night. Still mainly on the CDs though FIrst up David Axelrod's classic debut album Songs of Innocence. IIRC @Xann recommended this after I bought it's sequel. It was a good move It tells you on the cover why you'd want to listen to this, then you can play who sampled this. Cypress Hill sampled one of the tunes here in three different songs! Eminem, Unkle, Sooo many hip hop artists, it has been well and truly plundered.... ... as has the follow up Songs of Experience (I'm looking at you Baxter Dury!) which I've decided is going on next... Makes a mental note to acquire more Axe

Solovyov was off on one again last night

If my missus thinks I'm picking her up from Lime St anytime close to the deadline, then she'll have to learn where the bus stop is

So do you still believe the Police statement to be untrue?

That is the Tug that is towing it, the ships AIS is off but the Tugs isn't. Again that has come from the Russian bloggers not Ukraine's

I have no idea if that has any validity over the decision making but, he said when the team is read out, Maupay always gets a groan.

From the Evertonian in the room next door, Mykolenko is back in training, Dyche seems to prefer Maupay but the fans hate him and prefer Gray, his punt would be on Gray because the reaction from the fans is never great when Maupay starts and Everton need the fans onside as much as possible. Obvious pinch of salt is obvious
