Also can you capitalise the first letter of each word in the hashtag as that makes it easier for screen readers to read

Yay. I didn’t participate in the 50’s and 60’s as I wasn’t really knowledgeable enough plus I have a rule that I will own vote for albums I own (any format).

Apparently my record collection has grown - how did that happen?

Red ensign

Always been proud to have sailed under this flag #MerchantNavyDay

Thanks - glad it’s not a unique situation

A strange thing has happened. I had a #MS #Relapse and now I no longer need to use my glasses to read. Probably a short term effect but nice to have a positive output for a change.

I would but not available on Audible yet

A crystal glass containing whisky.

Currently feeling sorry for myself as I’ve had an MS relapse and am on a course of steroids. On the plus side I’m enjoying a glass of 12 year old Cragganmore.

Hope everything is okay

Albums by Bjork, Floodlights and Pulp

May have bought some records today 🤣

My record collection tells the story of my life better than I could in words. When I get nostalgic there is always a soundtrack and songs are usually the catalyst for my memories. Music has been there to drag me out of my darkest moments and add glitter to the best ones.

Lovely wallpaper with the words when a goth dies their voice gets added to the choir singing the intro of This Corrosion by The Sisters of mercy 🖤

One of my greatest joys in life is discovering new bands. Recently came across an Australian band called Floodlights who I think are really good.

I own very few of these (and I’ve always had a rule I will only vote for records I own) so I might be going record shopping over the next couple of weeks. Any recommendations?

Listening to Tapestry by Carole King and can’t believe I didn’t include in my #5albums70sfinal selection. Then again, there were a lot of great albums to choose from.

My #5albums70sfinal choices are:

David Bowie - Low
Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures
The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys
Television - Marquee Moon
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

Thanks Rich for all the time and effort you put in

Just in case anyone wanted to listen/watch my talk on the Fundamentals of #SystemsThinking that I gave a couple of weeks ago at the SCiO open event in Manchester.

My selections for #5albums70s5 are:

Jeff Wayne - Musical WotW
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
Big Star - Radio City

Should I pre-order the new Wet Leg album?

Jealous. Looks amazing. Sure it sounds how it looks

Can’t believe I missed #5albums70s4

YouTube video by CoorDown NO DECISION WITHOUT US | World Down Syndrome Day 2025

I was born disabled.

The thing that has always frustrated me the most is that because I am disabled, other people have the “right” to make decisions for me; parents, teachers, employers etc. without involving me.

My choices for #5Albums70s3 are

Ramones - Ramones
David Bowie - Low
Mavin Gaye - What’s Going On
