Watching the news today; should I:
a) switch off & hide from the horrors of humanity;
b) try to do something good for others;
c) go to my local record store & buy more #vinyl;
d) all of the above.

Good question - the same question Australians should have asked before we invaded Iraq & Afghanistan assisting in killing up to a million innocent civilians as revenge for 9/11.

Why were there no weekly protests against our war crimes?

Never understood the climbing Everest obsession.

There are so many other ways to achievement.

Putting lives at risk to scale a mountain seems selfish & egotistic.

Gosh, I pointed out to Peggy-O that she was quoting a Murdoch hack & ex-stockbroker & she blocked me.

She probably doesn't like Grateful Dead, jazz or Cloud Atlas book either. 😀

Bob Dylan: Another Self Portrait.
Widely dismissed at the time, this boxset shows how wrong critics can be.

With psych-rock at its height, #Dylan, as always, went the other way.

John Wesley Harding, Nashville Skyline, Self Portrait, New Morning & Pat Garrett - what a run of albums.

Schindler's List II: The Return.

A successful and narcissistic German businessman slowly starts worrying about the safety of his American workforce after witnessing their persecution in Chicago during the Trump dictatorship.

My grandparents escaped fascism.
They said there were two choices: fight or flee.
The former meant imprisonment & likely death, the latter meant a new life begun with nothing in a foreign country.

They made the right choice.

Dear #America
Can you please leave me your #vinyl & #book collection in your will?

You haven't gone long to live, so why not leave it to a good home?

No you haven’t

Japan is not a safe place for tourists who love #jazz #vinyl & quality writing implements.

Teamlab is like some kind of legal drug trip adventure.

It was one of the most amazing experiences - visual, physical, auditory, mind blowing, fun, wet, wild.

Enjoy it Marcus & family.

This is why we love Bluesky.

You’re sitting here minding your own business when up pops someone else who just loves Alan Vega’s Saturn Strip album.

Met him once, was everything I wanted from the founder of Suicide. 😌

Me too - glorious music that is a tonic to the world.

Continuing my quest for calmness & tranquility amid the descent into the maelstrom - Rose City Band.

Warm, uplifting, cosmically infused slightly country-psych-rock-whatever-the f*ck people label music these days.

Wow, never ever seen this before. What a score. 👏

Bert Jansch - Avocet.
It's like a warm bath with epsom salts, chatting with a psychologist, eating caramel slice and a glass of red wine encoded on #vinyl.

Was fortunate to see Johnny Thunders on his Australian tour.

Over the years I've had three Denon turntables and still have one, but I covet a top of the line direct drive beasts.

My copy is so noisy & old that might be time to get CD version. the guitar work on this is superb.

I didn't realise how good this album is until I revisited it a few years ago.

Not a bad summary…..

The only thing keeping me from plunging into further despair & recurring depression are pictures of Denon turntables for sale.

Australia has its own Trump XL - Senator Ralph Babet.
42 year old failed real estate agent who still lives at home; single, no children, immigrant, also charged with unlawful assault.

He's obsessed with homosexuality, gender & s*xual issues. Dr Freud can explain why.

Got this at an op-shop, triple album.

It is indeed the weirdest mismatch of songs.

These comps always look like some twit at a record company just grabbed every single in their catalog.

Still have the single I bought in high school.

On planet Trisolaris:

The human race is destroying itself. The Earth is doomed, Lord.

Also, Nicole and Keith have spilt up.

Robert Plant gets more interesting every record.
Rarely play Led Zeppelin but often spin his solo LPs & collaborations.

Shelving envy.
Live in very small place, with vinyl & CDs (and books) across several rooms. Then there’s the stereo madness…

PS love your taste: Rory, Roxy, Purple and is that John Martyn?

Don’t eat meat, but this Brother Jack McDuff album sure is a tasty treat.
