My longstanding love affair with @theblowmonkeys.bsky.social started here, about 40 years ago. Only just re-got this on vinyl, so had forgotten what a brilliant album it is. Post-punky, jazzy, dark and sophisticated; brilliant songwriting and musically v sophisticated. Great stuff 👌

He’s a fine cat - loves a record sesh

That’s a ruddy monster! 😮

A spare hour until Mrs Bren2k returns from a work trip; in what has become a teatime ritual, Iggy Pop and I are listening to a record. We are enjoying this one very much indeed 🙌

Home alone, so I’m making a solo tea and listening to this ace racket at volumes that are normally prohibited 👌

Never released on vinyl before you say? Go on then - it’d be rude not to…

Two new pick-ups from the weekend - recommended by my local vinylmonger - have provided me with a delightful hour of funky #jazz ❤️

Nominate Minutemen singer-guitarist D. Boon for the 2026 Woody Guthrie Prize: it just makes a whole lot of sense.

Ah cool - happy to have helped! 🙌

Chapeau - that’s meta! 👏

I do semi-regular cinema trips with my daughter - this week, she picked the below.

Quite possibly the most terrifying and disturbing film I’ve seen in many a year; I can’t shake it off. Watch at your own peril 😱

Iggy Pop poses for his annual #internationalcatday selfie. He’s quite aware of how fabulous he is

Yes - I have a pair; they’re very good jeans indeed.

M&S has upped it menswear game recently - I’ve had a couple of worker jackets, an overshirt and some splendid wide leg pants 👌

Some records fit any mood - this is one; a bona fide masterpiece 🙌

Viewing some properties in Macclesfield yesterday. In a derelict and abandoned house, accessible only by climbing and hacking back vegetation, the graffiti started out cool and geographically centred - but quick descended into the hackneyed, schoolboy “cock and balls” staple. Disappointing.

Very best of vibes to you both 🙌

Same issue on a regular basis - and god forbid you should have the audacity to skip an advert; almost always results in the spinning blue circle.

Netflix seems to the only streaming platform with a decent UI - the rest are dreadful 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you and just one more dumb question - outside in the pot, or outside in the ground?

They sit in a window at the mo with sun most of the day - would it help to move them to somewhere more shady?

Thank you.

They have a lot of light and a south facing window - but not the humidity.

Is it too late to salvage? Worth pruning some height and putting outside?

I am indeed - they’re getting very tall and spindly
