How was Clinton Baptiste? An excellent act but did it work as support for a music show? I know it’s happened in the past with comedians supporting bands but I’ve never seen it.

A screenshot of an email newsletter sent by HMV in the UK stating a list of bands and their upcoming tours. Among the list is either a mistake or a massive exclusive bit of news that Black Sabbath are playing gigs in America.

Wait a god damn minute. What do HMV know about Black Sabbath’s last ever ‘Back To The Beginning’ gig(s) that the rest of the world don’t? USA dates? Is this a scoop?

A screenshot of a music player phone app showing the track Breathe Again by Hundred Reasons from the album Kill Your Own. The end features a rousing climax with an organ

A photo of the Royal Albert Hall before tonight’s gig by the band Hundred Reasons

I wonder if there is any chance that Hundred Reasons will play Breathe Again and use the Henry Willis Organ at tonight’s @royalalberthall.bsky.social gig. It would sound epic! 🎹

This is worth buying for the song ‘Reader’s Wives’ alone #musicsky

Sadly missed the chance to get hold of this. Now starting at £30 a copy on Discogs marketplace!

Is there anywhere to listen to previews of this new music? @warringtonruncorn.com

Here’s the start of a thread full of record shops to follow here on Bluesky. See the comments and replies for more suggestions

Nah, I have a folder in my email account. Sad times 😞

It’s a real shame to lose Janey Godley and her sense of humour. Here she is doing her best work…

A photo of a person’s torso, they are wearing a black t-shirt with purple text at the top in the style of the Scooby Doo cartoons of the 1990s which reads ‘Raging Speedhorn’, a heavy metal band from the UK, also on the t-shirt is a white ghost, with a prominent erection. Childish but funny.

It’s Halloween so this Raging Speedhorn t-shirt gets its yearly outing.
Happy Halloween everyone 👻🍆🤘

I appreciate it’s not exactly the same but watching Chipzel perform a gig playing music created on a Gameboy is a truly amazing thing to behold.

That is on my list to listen to. I really loved Anathema so have been keen to follow all the member’s solo projects.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL STREET ART 😄👍
Mural painted on Record Street Brewing in Reno, NV by Erik Burke ...give that man a MEDAL 🏅 Can you beat this ??

Don’t worry, ignore me. Found it by logging in via a web browser rather than the mobile app. Thanks anyway

What do you/they plan on doing with the database once created?
For logging CDs (and other music formats) the best service is Discogs.com You can scan the barcodes and add items to your ‘Collection’ to then sort however you wish and even sell to other users. Can’t help with books or DVDs sadly.

Where did you get your number? Did it just appear when you logged in? Interested to know mine…

Sounds worth a try as I still find it useful as a news aggregator. Still lots of companies over there.

A photo of a rack of CD singles in a charity shop, all 19 that are visible are by either Boyzone or Westlife, mostly from the 1990s and early 2000s

Someone got rid of a large Boyzone and Westlife singles collection recently at my local charity shop so I thought I’d help out by arranging them nicely on the shelves.

I relaunched the #VinylStupidity account here if anyone wants to give it a follow or share any Stupid Vinyls news (I heard they are making a comeback)

FBI busts musician’s elaborate AI-powered $10M streaming-royalty heist Feds say it's the first US criminal case involving artificially inflated music streaming.

Aw man, can you imagine, one guy all by himself stealing all this music, alone, with no accomplices or abetters, just this one solitary person is stealing ALL THE MUSIC ON EARTH

Some social media managers (on the other sites) have been floating the idea of playing unskippable ads before allowing users to access their feeds, much like YouTube and Spotify free tiers do before playing the thing the user selected

I’ve been amazed by how few ads they play on their on demand services. Frequently it’s just the short ‘sponsored by…’ immediately before and after the ‘ad break’ of zero ads.

I haven’t had access to broadcast TV for nearly 10 years, just use on demand services like iPlayer etc, so I was absolutely amazed to discover recently that ITV 1 (their main channel) is a full on shopping channel now from midnight every night.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have followed Jumbo over on the other app and bookmarked their website. If I’m ever in the area I’ll check them out

If there is a special or deluxe edition (assuming it contains more actual music) then that’s my preferred choice to buy, which often involves online research beforehand to discover the best version. Hence my love of Discogs.

Both RT East and West removed all the back catalogue racks of CDs over a year ago to make more room for vinyl. They have some new releases available on CD for a few weeks but then send them back to their warehouse. East also has a small section of CD boxsets (often damaged).

Ooooo, are you supporting Oasis on their reunion gigs? 😄

A photo of the new album Skin Hunger by the band Die So Fluid on CD being held looking out of the front windscreen of a car. In the distance is a nice (albeit faint) blue sky.

#NowPlaying Been for a nice drive to see friends while listening to the brand new Die So Fluid album Skin Hunger. Sounds as good as their early stuff. It was only last month that they launched their Indiegogo campaign to make the CDs! 💿
