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.

    • Happy Dan Hannan day everyone   https://substack.com/home/post/p-166594385    
    • Yes, it seemed to have an underlying agenda, and a strange first post. That's really good that you took photos and gave them to the police. Hopefully the kids can be identified before they physically hurt someone (or cause further damage or distress).
    • Agreed Sue - I was suspicious of this post. The poster has only posted once, too.  If you were one of those kids, or you know them, I can tell you that I have some excellent photos of some of them on the roof, which I passed to the police.  What they did was assault. 
    • Why? Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them, and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?
