Programme for Rush Tour of the Hemispheres

Programme for Rush Permanent Waves tour

While tidying up/looking for something that I had lost, I came across this tour programme that @tranquilityfire.bsky.social might be interested in. My first concert as a 15 year old was Rush at the Glasgow Apollo in April 1979. I also have one from the Permanent tour the following year.

Inner sleeve For Gillan Fans Only from the album Glory Road by Gillan

The UK connection featuring @simonoftranquility.bsky.social and @tranquilityfire.bsky.social proving to be a bad influence again. I remember buying my original copy on the day it was released in Glasgow. Bought again for the For Gillan Fans Only 2nd LP that doesn't appear on the latest Gillan boxset

Red vinyl record on a turntable.

Came home last night to a new album from Marc and the Mambas. Recorded live over 3 nights in London in 1983, this version is on red vinyl from Cold Spring Records.

Pictured here with the studio albums from 1982 & 1983. I still love them 40 years later - they call to the sad, lonely teenager in me.

CD of Sea-swallowed Wands next to a viking

Excited to receive the latest collaboration between @jolandamoletta.bsky.social and @karenvogtmusic.bsky.social on @quietdetails.bsky.social. Sea-swallowed Wands is a beautiful, ambient vocal album from two artists with back catalogues worth exploring further.

Two CDs and a magazine from Moolakii Club Audio Interface

Back home to a bumper mail delivery. The latest compilation from @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social - Spaces 2 featuring tracks from @speculum-bunny.bsky.social and @veryanmusic.bsky.social , among others. A compilation, Cronework, featuring women and gender diverse artists from @difficult_art_and_music.

Not necessarily a bad idea but blue sky is that channel for me outside of Bandcamp. I have it curated so that most posts are from artists/labels so I don’t need another channel.

Simple answer is no. Use the channels you have. If I subscribe to the label on Bandcamp then I expect communications via Bandcamp. I know a number of labels use Discord - I am out at that point as I don't need another thing to check or to overwhelm me with messages.

Pre-concert message from Steven Wilson - no photography or recording.

Tonight's entertainment comes from @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow.
