Midnight Rocker in red vinyl

Midnight Scorchers on orange vinyl

A black cotton tote bag with the Midnight Rocker artwork.

An evening with Horace Andy tonight, inspired by @blueastronaut.bsky.social:

- Midnight Rocker (the album)
- Midnight Scorchers (the dub versions, Adrian Sherwood at the controls)
- Midnight Rocker (the grocery bag)

Ray Lowry’s original sketch for the Armagideon Time artwork. Framed with a copy of the 7” single.

Remember: Donald Trump created this crisis. He walked away from the Iran nuclear deal that was working, promising a "better deal." He didn't deliver. He escalated, abandoned real diplomacy, and has now led us into a conflict that puts us all at risk.

Two Horace Andy albums aligned - Midnight Rocker and Midnight Scorchers.

Brilliant indeed. I tend to think of them as a double album.

There is always a tweet.

Art.

I took it one step further…

Don’t forget to flip London Calling for their finest hour.

Well, it is Ramsgate.

The Fall - Bend Sinister LP on deck

Book cover - You Must Get Them All (The Fall On Record) by Steve Pringle.

You Must Get Them All 2026

Bend Sinister - this gets some bad press but it’s really quite good with a lot of hooky tunes.

Shoulder Pads 1&2 oddly seem to sample the Are You Being Served theme.

Summary:

The electorate is restless.
Labour is rudderless.
Greens are hope.
Tories are hopeless.
And Reform’s silent majority has once again turned out to be a noisy minority.

There are still three unhatched homunculi…

If it’s even half as good as last night you’re in for a treat.

Great minds…

Hang on, were you stood right by me? Sorry not to have met you.

Heck of a night.

Apparently it was just some random picture on the web and Coumo just had to have it and bought the rights.

That one always reminds me of this one:

A dramatically lit, but empty, stage.

Just arrived to see @nightingalesuk.bsky.social in Brum. I was just playing Wire’s Reuters in the car only to walk in and find it’s playing in here too.

Surely an omen for a good evening ahead.

Used to be a kid at school called Mark, but always called Minty.

Mark > Marko > Marco > Marco Polo > Polo Mint.

That must be wore than rats chewing on your face…

So Simon, what do you fear the most?

Well done.

I just retired after 45 years with one company. Always interesting things to do and places to go so I rarely thought about going elsewhere

Next album title right there. 👍

Too many options…

Surely no longer the Prince of Darkness but, rather, Mr Darkness ..?

I’ve been on a Murakami kick recently. Next on my reading list:

I'm sorry Ms Jackson
I am surreal
Never meant to make your daughter cry
I'm a fish with one gigantic eye
