Carrying on my mammoth run of gigs (4 in 5 nights) tonight it’s the wonderful Gary Bartz at the Union Chapel. He’s aged a bit since this 1975 belter!

Not exactly close to the action, but J Mascis was fun, if very quirky tonight, and My Bloody Valentine were both wonderful and extremely loud (natch)

Off to see these wonderful guys alongside My Bloody Valentine tonight. Should be good and loud. Strong, fresh coffee first methinks

At work today so it’s CDs rather than vinyl. Started with a bit of Robert Wyatt and moved to a bit of blasting Los Lobos when I’d woken up. Strong fresh coffee in between

In advance of tonight’s gig at the Barbican, it’s the latest from Tortoise. Washed down by strong fresh coffee. Two gigs this weekend; indeed, three in four days. Hope I can manage it. 🀞

Some of Elizabeth Fraser’s beautiful voice to accompany the strong, fresh coffee after a very slow start today

Very excited about this evening’s visit to Ronnie Scott’s to see Yazz Ahmed. Listening to this beauty alongside some strong fresh coffee

Continuing recovery. Not so exhausted this morning which is a great sign. Strong, fresh coffee, Steve Earle and a bit of TVZ. I think I may have to go for the real thing later/tomorrow

Well I’ve been silent for a while. A week seeing/dealing with elderly relatives, hospital and care home. In my state of health all very exhausting. Been home four days and a still not functioning. But I’m reunited with vinyl. Today it’s Tortoise. Marvellous

A bit of Bill Evans this morning. And not too early for strong fresh coffee either, followed by a full day’s teaching

Today, as rain lashes outside, it’s a bit of GoGo Penguin, fortified with strong, fresh coffee

Why spoil a good thing when you can simply continue with the wonderful and frightening world of Mark E Smith (with free 7” single)? With strong, fresh coffee of course

Whenever I feel the need for a curmudgeonly old friend I turn to Mark E and the Fall. Not sure Mr Smith would approve of washing it down with strong, fresh coffee, but I’m afraid that’s about as strong as my tipple gets these days

This morning it’s a taste of Nubja Garcia and, I’m pleased to say, some strong, fresh coffee

Some poor health has kept me away from social media and from vinyl. A bit of tentative venturing out today with Planet Waves. Might wait one more day for strong, fresh coffee

We’re all very much alive this morning, aided by Gary Bartz and strong, fresh coffee

Though I’m finding it very hard to tear myself away from the new Charles Lloyd album, for the strong, fresh coffee moment this morning its the wonderful (and much missed) Esbjorn Svensson Trio. Glorious

Sunday morning. Feeling really rough for some inexplicable reason. Slow start. A bit of Coltrane and strong, fresh coffee to help me come to (eventually)
