Gail's designs and makes such lovely things.

She designed my company logo too, which is ace.

And she's so nice also.

If you have mid century modern in your home it's the perfect addition.

Hi

Thanks for sending these in. Unfortunately we’re ok for “The Prince formerly known as ‘Prince’ gags for now.

Oddly enough, I was at the same college as @alisonmoyet.bsky.social (she was the year above me so we never met, but a mate of mine gave her piano lessons!) and we also had a Fairlght CMI. Ours, Goldsmith’s and Sarm East’s were within shouting distance of each other considering how rare they were.

Thanks for this. Fascinating.

The Goldsmith’s CMI is still extant and owned by a good friend of mine, although currently not operational. Wish I’d heard that broadcast a year ago. Such a sad loss. X

Thanks for that.

Great Yarmouth to Host Britain’s Biggest White Power Concert in Years – HOPE not hate Great Yarmouth is set to host the largest white power music gig held in the UK for at least 10 years, HOPE not hate can...

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

I’ve only ever seen one, but never played one.

Wanted one in 1978!

Bought this at the RetrotechUK show in Cov. Have absolutely no need for a monochrome, monaural tv tuner at al. No need.

What a lovely photo! X

Thrilling chase underway

🤪

That took some doing !

And me.

@shaunwkeaveny.bsky.social Wotcher cocker! How is the Technics?!

This is why American chocolate is invariably utter shit.

Digital graphic with centered composition. Top magenta text on a navy background. Central navy text block containing white text, including "Long Covid" arranged vertically. Cotton plant fragments bracket the text. Lower text links to "longcovidadvoc.com". Primary colors are magenta and navy giving digital and modern appearance. The left side has sticks or twigs.

💗 Thank you everyone for your valuable advocacy & energy for #LongCovidAwarenessDay

It shouldn't be necessary but because #LongCovid is:
🚨 Multisystem
🚨 Devastating
🚨 Biological

And we are nowhere near effective treatments & care we still need to campaign because every life is precious

If you think Reform are on your side, just ask yourself how many Ruperts you knew at school.

Let’s hope.

Lets have a competition.

If you think Rupert Lowe is a corrupt hatemongering billionaires puppet, Like.

If you think Nigel Farage is too, RP.

Sundae Club - elasticStage Extremely English downtempo from those heady days of the Turn of the Century. Pastoral, Pleasant, and not a hint of cured meat. Lots of Mellotron.

And another one!!

Our first two EPs are now available on LP

BST being played on a rather nice system! elasticstage.com/sundaeclub/r...

These are two well-respected hi-fi salespeople. Normally serious, dedicated, and a fount of knowledge of all things audio-related. Our newly available LP appears to have made them go a bit silly.

Ooh! Look at their extremely nice #rega #naia turntable too!
