The Stranglers on a 1977 copy of the music magazine Record Mirror.

I’ve been after this August 13 1977 edition of Record Mirror for decades, featuring a cooler than cool cover starring my beloved The Stranglers. Finally got a mint condition copy from the USA, and it now hangs proudly in my hall aka my personal art gallery. #70s #70sMusic #TheStranglers

no-man – Scatter – Lost Not Lost Volume Two (1991-1997) album reviewed Scatter – Lost Not Lost Volume II works well as a “lost” no-man album in its own right, and will be loved by fans of the band, especially those who lean towards their more beat-dr…

No longer lost, but finally found.

Guy Pearce as Scrooge stands in front of a giant figure of the ghost of Christmas yet to come in a promotional image for the 2019 BBC adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

Guy Pearce is outstanding as Scrooge in the bold 2019 BBC retelling of A Christmas Carol. It cuts to the core of the story. If it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, it has served Dickens' message better than any other adaptation.

This is the #DolbyAtmos release I’ve been waiting for the most - @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social’s 2025 mixes of The Who’s “Who Are You” - ‘Had Enough’ and ‘905’ burst out of my Atmos set-up, like audio lava. The layered vocals on ‘Had Enough’ 💋.

👍 @super-deluxe.bsky.social another quality release.

Glad you are here Mr Horne. Your mother still wouldn’t like it.

RIP Danny Thompson

He played on so many fantastic albums and will be sorely missed.

RIP Danny Thompson. If you are a fan of #70s / #80s music, you would have heard some of his wonderful bass playing, one of my favourites being @davidsylvian.bsky.social’s ‘The Ink In The Well’ from “Brilliant Trees”.

Blancmange - Happy Families

RIP #StephenLuscombe - one half of the original line-up of Blancmange, who had a string of infectious hits in the early to mid #80s.

RIP Rick Davies of Supertramp, who has died aged 81. What a catalogue of music, from prog to perfect pop…

Four alternatives to Spotify: swapping is easier than you think Artists and listeners are leaving the platform after its CEO invested in defence technology. Here are your options – along with how to keep your playlists

Bye spotify - your pitifully low payments to artists and your CEO’s dubious AI weapons funding are the final straw. I’m giving my money to qobuz instead. Hi-res & better royalties, what’s not to love.
