Dad retold me his tale of seeing Bowie perform at Bournemouth Pavillian when he was still called ‘David Jones’ & was performing as Davy Jones and the Manish Boys - think circa 1964. Dad gave a detailed account of what Bowie was wearing - both he & Bowie were in there mod phase.

Autumn vibes

I put together a playlist of tracks that remind me of this time of year - some obviously seasonally relevant, some less so. *Also features an old song by some guy called James Leon that was recorded October / November 2004.

Mullets and tache’s are de rigueur noe aren’t they for 20 something males.

Mine too :)

Best Kylie album.

Just casually eating a packet of Love Heart sweets on the tube (branded from my voluntary work - I didn’t actually buy them you understand) like the big retro gay I am.

I always feel sophisticated (or dream I am) when I listen to Bryan Ferry.

It’s brilliant. It’s one I return to time and time again. It’s really atmospheric.

Songs from the Big Chair is up there for me :)

Fantastic to have my track ‘I Was A Photograph’ on the weekly New Music Playlist by @themusicnation.bsky.social

I Was A Photograph

The title ‘I Was A Photograph’ actually came from something the artist who inspired the song said when she was sharing her story of life growing up in Rio (where she knew the young woman who inspired another song - the famous ‘The Girl From Ipanema’).

Thank you so much - I have now shared on here and will do so on other platforms 🙏
