Go on then.

Excellent. I thought of you immediately.

50p that Andrew Prince of Kiddy Fiddling gets some porridge. It will probably be 2036, but hey.

Don't know if you are a Ween fan, but I thought that you really needed to hear this. As pastiche songs go, this is amazing.

Good shout!

Happy belated birthday. Maybe stick to Slade or something this weekend (oh, even they have How Does It Feel?). OK, The Brotherhood of Man.

Blimey, thank you.

It will take a long time and many will escape justice by simply dying of old age, but when the US sorts its shit out, there will probably be a dedicated show trial channel.

It's a lovely sight.

I doubt that any of my top 5 are going to qualify as everytime I play a classic from the canon, I remember a less acclaimed album that gives me so much more joy. This 1969 beauty is like being inside somebody else's troubled mind for 45 minutes rather than my own.

They really are a horrible bunch of cunts, aren't they?

Blimey. That's a canny find, like.

I'll have Kate Bush on the telly and Vesta curry instead.

Oh God, I love it.

The news in 2026 is just like late 1970s Britain. Celebrity nonces, serial killers, potentially huge miscarriages of justice, Russia being a worry & the Labour Party being shite.

Where is our Joy Division? Where is our Tom Baker?
Where is our Olivia Newton-John?

I feel hard done by.

I have a mono copy. It is ridiculously great.

I bought a copy of this in Antwerp last February. I must have played it a hundred times since. A perfect blend of bossa nova, soul & psychedelic rock. A grade A record.

Marius Borg Høiby, the son of Norway's Crown Princess Mette-Marit. He's been arrested four times since August for crimes including rape.

Marc Warren as 'The Gentleman' in the BBC adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. A deeply unpleasant character who stole the soul of Lady Poll.

This creepy member of the Norwegian Royal family who's in the news looks just like Marc Warren's incredibly sinister 'The Gentleman' in the TV version of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.

I can't imagine going back to the 'vaguely chronological' system I used to have. Pretend to have flu and spend four days getting it sorted. You'll feel better for it.

It seemed like a good idea but I can't remember why.

I spent hours today refiling all of my folk & jazz LPs back into the main A-Z collection. All of my foreign language LPs now live in a cabinet of their own.

I am now wondering what the point of this exercise was exactly.

It seems like a total waste of a day and my back hurts.

He was also a police officer.

This is who runs this account.

My pleasure.

Apparently it’s #ReadIndies month, when you’re all meant to go out & buy books from indie publishers. How about you go one better & buy books from indie authors? It’s only the literary world that sneers at creatives doing it themselves so buck the trend & buy my fucking book™ www.michelehowarth.com

I went to a couple of Dr Who conventions at Longleat in the early 80s. Met the Doctor, the Master, Davros and many others.

Which book?
