Only got the first album Captain which I really liked. Recent purchases though have been Martha Wainwright, Joan As Policewoman, Bat For Lashes, a couple of old Kraftwerk albums, a King Tubby boxset and Alternatively Deep by Roots Manuva. And they're all excellent.

Marriage, that's where it all starts MP, it's a slippy slope from there on in. The last staw was when my then 1 year old started picking them up and chucking them on the floor, causing boxes to smash etc! Storage space is also at a bit of a premium now.


It helps that I'm not too much of an audiophile and can happily listen to an MP3 ripped at 128kbps and not worry that I can't hear Ringo coughing during the bridge.

Just got back to ED with three new - vinyl - albums.

One was a birthday present, IQ6 Zang Tumb Tuum Sampled. I have it on tape from the olden days, but wanted the vinyl - it's never been issued on digital formats. Possibly one of the best label compilations ever.

The other two were picked up in Oxfam for a few pee: Welcome to the Pleasuredome (ZTT IQ1!), and Penthouse & Pavement (which got a mention on Radio 4 today). As you can see, I have a thing about ZTT (but also about 4AD, Sarah, etc etc)

The new compilation from Colette in Paris (Vol.8).

My sound of summer - and available on acquisition for those who are in the know....

Also, for anyone who loves a vibrant mix of music, pls look online for FIP radio in france. You can download a link which opens and streams through iTunes (win & Mac). Amazing.

Todays listening / purchases (yeah I know what I said F&B, but man can not live on back catalogue alone):


Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies (that bloke off The New Pornographers' side project. Top stuff)

Taken By Trees - Open Field (that lass that left The Concretes new band. Delicate and beautiful)

brought a tear to my eye there captain.


Well things from bad to worse with the havoc bro-in-law to be has played.

I've just had to suffer Guns'n'Roses cover of Sympathy for the Devil. Stick to the day job guys.


Luckily Smog - I Feel Like the Mother of the World came on, and I'm happy again.

    • You can get a card at the till, though, to get the discount. You don't have to carry it with you (or load it onto your phone), you can just get a different card each time. Not sure what happens if they notice 🤣
    • Yes..that may be the case but membership STARTING at £115 a month is still unafforable for many. Council gyms also have a large range of equipment and I had a  PT at Dulwich leisure centre when I was in Full Time employment who was incredible and even kept in contact during lockdown giving me a program I could do at home and checking in weekly at no charge or personal gain for herself. I dont doubt that Fit For may be a good gym (Its been in situ long enough so must be doing something right) However the cost of membership means it is affordable for the few not the many. If I could afford that kind of fee I would rather get a train to Canary Wharf and go to Virgin active where theres a pool and incredible classes and facilities 
    • This sounds great 👍 
    • We found a red TREK bike yesterday that had clearly been stolen and dumped. Would love to reunite it with its owner. Get in touch if you know whose it is.
