@zackpolanski.bsky.social I've had my email reminder to vote for London GPEW officers; in admittedly less busy times you have been very helpful advising me on candidate choices that are not transphobic. Does such a list exist for these elections, and where can I find it if so? Ta, R.

"The driver has been instructed to ignore the fact that most people chose to get this bus rather than the one of a different but largely overlapping route just behind it (which would have got them to where they want to go by now) and wait here to even out the service"

Always enjoyed his contributions on those lovely old Island Records sampler albums. Oh for the days of an LP where you'd get him alongside such disparate talents as Fairport Convention, Free, Traffic and John Martyn. Spotify my arse...

Well, I found something pink in the wardrobe.

Makes you remember what a good leader was like, because it's a few years since either the UK or USA had one.

Brianna Ghey Legacy Project Join us on Friday 7th November, when we will be celebrating Brianna’s birthday by inviting everyone to 🌸Wear Pink for Peace🌸 Brianna's Legacy has grown such a lovely community across the globe and.....

Sending love to the family of the late Brianna Ghey for tomorrow, which would have been her 19th birthday. Still such a tragic loss of young life - even now, she'd still have been a teenager. Wear something pink tomorrow if you want to mark the day with a gesture. www.facebook.com/briannagheyl...

Imagine still not quite up there with Layla and Moondance in 'great album but title track gets on your tits' stakes IMO, tho'.

Is that a yes or a no?

His last good one for my money.

It most certainly does.

Sometimes it doesn't do to try and be clever and just admit that some albums are just top class for a reason. The title track IS one of rock's most overplayed but Imagine is a great LP overall. I hope Donny Hathaway's version of Jealous Guy is top of your childishly-hinted-at-but-not-telling list!

Yeah, agreed. Madge's usual high-end game on display, apart from the naughty lifting of the title track from some hippies, but there (cough...Zeppelin...cough...Willie Dixon), these things happen. Yes, it's that era of overlong albums. Not a criticism of Madge's discussed offering per se.

Deserves a place for sure, but I must say, it was RAtM that made me realise I was a boring old fart who preferred his dad's Stones albums to contemporary rock of the day. Thank fuck for the Crowes and the Primal Scream Muscle Shoals phase. Derivative, yes, but something current I could enjoy.

SWR announces farewell tour for 'iconic' red commuter trains South Western Railway bids farewell to its iconic Class 455 red trains with a special tour on Sunday, 21 December, before retiring them for new Arterio models.

twickenham.nub.news/news/local-n... good riddance! I love a good train; these were boring. Old slam door stuff was fun, with those side compartments (where fitted) and upholstery that was actually comfortable. These were no replacement. What do you say @jagohazzard.bsky.social ? Will you miss them?

@lookingforthemagic.bsky.social top man!

A p*ss poor copy, then. The numbers add up and the content is factually correct.

I absolutely must have one. Can you post me one to Twickers?

Easily the best thing in the EC catalogue by a mile given that the D&B live thing isn't his. Deserves better than 226? Probably - if there are 225 good reasons none of which are EC releases, then maybe not. But if any one of them IS an EC release then this has been short-changed.

Jesus, why are they letting Branson anywhere near the channel tunnel? He got bored of his last rail franchise and just walked away leaving a nationalised company to mop up after him.

HUGE 👏 to @zackpolanski.bsky.social for his recent tireless 'wake up and smell the coffee' drives. Zack won't remember me (a GPEW member some while) but his timely, personal replies of help/info on which officer nominees weren't anti-LGBTQ+ went a long way. Zack - it's working, mate. Savour it.

Nope, it doesn't. 50s rock and roll gets enough slack just for being 50s rock and roll. If the Sly Stone compilation is made to stick to the rules, so can this.

Agreed. Curiously I like Vol 4 more than this too. But it's neck and neck between debut and Paranoid for best one.

Honestly, the mainstream media reaction to Zack Polanski entering the elites’ own conversation space…

…with widely-held public opinions…

…tells you everything you need to know about why our mainstream media is a closed shop, broken, and no longer fit for purpose.

This. Transphobia is a moral panic that has been heavily funded and weaponized by a lot of powerful & wealthy people over the last decade, and it's scary but NOT inevitable - and *certainly* not the fault of their victims.

See, you've rattled me now; was about to put a bit of Hammond organ on a studio client's song. Then you said that, and with you being a tube guy, I thought of the untimely end of British organist and noted occultist Graham Bond at Finsbury Park. think I'll just have a cup of tea and call it a day.

Fab. When can we expect this fine deed/contrivance/thing - which is surely a crowdfunded District and Overground extension from Richmond to the two disused platforms in my home town of Twickers that are begging for it?

@jagohazzard.bsky.social ah, the link wasn't pointing at the right thing; 'twas this:

Don't agree 100% with that but I do see why you'd say it. There is at least *some* bollocks talked about Syd's brilliance - but more to the point, there's nothing to my ears on Piper that's anywhere near as magnificent as See Emily Play.

The last good 'un. Before Leon Russell's influence all but vanished.
