If you don’t post, you know what you are going to get. Apparently this “begins with an elastic reggae beat before becoming consumed by sheets of guitars, wispy harmonies, and stabs of brass”. What’s not to like.

Think we had a dead heat two weeks in a row on UC @hunnybunny. I’m missing OC. The replacement chess programme is mildly entertaining but who knew that there were so many double entendres in the game.

And this as well on Stiff in 1977! An unknown record label just exploded with talent.

They also produced early Costello singles before Jake Rivierra stole him including this beauty…https://youtu.be/snPDoXl9ZPs?si=vXbyZSMS1FrEmnS6

And the Nick Lowe produced this, also coming out on Stiff, widely regarded to be the first charting UK punk single. Written by Brian James, who died 2 weeks ago.

@vuelva, the story of the Appalachian Trail is that in mid January 2024 my friend Jenn said that her Fitbit (or equivalent) had congratulated her on completing a challenge walk of some description (can’t remember which) and that now she was beginning the Appalachian Trail, 2198 miles.  I said that Twiggy and I would race her to the end and that…[Read more]

@vuelva jump on a train to Wales, loads of mountains here

@HunnyBunny traveled to Denia by tram/train Friday 1hr then Calpe for 2hr so started at top of the hill (what a beautiful view). Could not find pub you mentioned but done OK. Then onto altea, OK but not my scene. It is unbelievable how cheap the prices are here and hospitality 100%. Back on Tuesday

Time to chill out on a rainy Sunday morning.

Need to get your daily dose of flugelhorn.
