Bought the latest Tracey Thorn called "Love and it's Opposite". I's a grower. Subtle and pensive. Was listening to her about 25 years ago when she was in The MArine Girls.


Completely from left field, got a compilation called "Songs for Dad" from my two little ones on Father's Day. Thought it was a touching gesture that would quickly be gathering dust - but this starts with "Come FLy with Me2 by Sinatra, ends with Johnnie Ray's "Just Walking in the Rain" and in between sweeps through a load of gems from the 50s, including "Good Rocking Daddy" by Etta James. Cool.

Micah P Hinson's new one. A change of direction, much richer arrangements and a bit cheerier if I'm not mistaken.

Very good.


Also got She & Him - Volume 2, Zooey Deschanel's musical project, this time with M Ward. Sort of Gainsbourg & Birkin after hanging around with Johnny Cash for too long.


Have read a couple of good reviews of the Tracy Thorn album, might give it a quick spotify and see if I like it.

Jeff Beck's new album Emotion And Commotion and quite a bit of old reggae at the moment. Always the same with me when the sun comes out. So it's been Lee "Scratch" Perry's Arkology boxset, a singles compilation from Doctor Alimantado, King Tubby's Meet The Rockers Uptown and Eek-A-Mouse's first album Wa-Do-Dem.

    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
    • It hasn't devolved. It's in exactly the same state it was when it started.
    • A&E isn't allowed to turn people away at the triage stage, even people with hiccups and ingrown toenails... the kinds of ailments a GP might be able to advise against seeking emergency care for. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/12/aes-under-siege-from-hiccups-and-ingrowing-toenails/
