Lightly snowing here in Beckenham.

Should've been a global hit, but the people bought Coldplay and stuff instead. Tsk!

This is really lovely, in fact the whole LP is, but who exactly does it sound like? Can't quite put my finger on it, but Felt maybe? https://theredspinksandpurples.bandcamp.com/track/forgotten-names

What have you been listening to dub-wise; new stuff or the 'old-schoo'l? I've been listening to a load of Scientist, Augustus Pablo, King Tubby, Mikey Dread and Sly and Robbie (the Riddim double CD comp is ace) ever since lockdown because it's a great backdrop when working from home. I can't...

Bugger! I didn't realise that there had been four seasons - I thought there had been been three and that this is a new one... but I've already seen it. That's rather disappointing as I've loved every minute of every episode. Gah!

But, but, but... I thought that everything ended with season 3 and there was going to be no 4th series? This is awesome news!

/ Love it when that happens. I'm also guilty of buying CDs at gigs, and then failing to play them for years, finally giving them a spin and realising how ace they are and exactly why I originally bought them. And embarrassingly, I sometimes write-off bands far too soon, or have some barely...

Is this a Minor Threat or Fugazi lyric, or a quote from his book? Or am I thinking of the wrong Ian Mackaye completely? 🤔

Well, other than the obvious - Covid, Johnson, Trump and so on - all is well. And you? Been listening to The Bats an awful lot at the mo. 38 years with the same line-up and still an absolute joy.

Yeah, I've never visited, but it's one of those record shops which have achieved near legendary status.

My old mucker, Ajay (ex Dandelion Adventure, Donkey and so on), has a cracking selection of his old cassettes digitised and available on his YouTube channel, along with plenty of his own more recent top notch offerings (King Champion Sounds, Common Cold, Bhajan Bhoy etc) If you're after Shop...

90 seconds in a microwave, 39p a bag. Cheating and clearly not for the purists, but just sooo bloody convenient!

Feb 1981 against Norwich. Thoroughly miserable day as a) we lost 3-1, b) large-ish gang of Brightons twats sieg heiling, c) the bloke driving the minibus (youth club leader) made us leave 2 minutes before we scored our consolation goal. FFS!

Depressing, but predictable. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-54330439

Has anyone catalogued their record collection on Discogs? I did a lot of mine when I was on gardening leave a few years back. I loved it, sifting through all the old LPs and singles and adding them to my collection. You get an idea of the value of each record too, depending on the condition of...

Harlow's on the list of places to visit, it has a lot of William Mitchell's work there too - the chap responsible for the Spirit of Brighton in the old Churchill Square. And Brunel Uni is a classic, as featured in A Clockwork Orange. Would love to get some snaps one day...

I've been past 'The Barrier' but didn't have time to stop... which just felt all kinds of wrong! I love getting out on my bike and just heading to a vague destination, all the time on the lookout for new specimens!

It has; it's now called No1 Croydon, FFS! They'll never be able to hide it's true origins though.
