I would call that a ‘sub optimal’ bike ride this morning with the Central Coast Cycling Club (NSW, Australia) Thanks to Dr Rebecca Koss for rescuing me in the #DKHQ team car

Having reached 60 years of age I am now witnessing ageism in its fullest most unadulterated form. Without sounding like a cantankerous old fart, making great music is not the mutually exclusive reserve of the young. #DKHQ daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/04/26/jam…

#throwbackthursday To 1989 with Sammy Hagar on his ‘Red Rocker’ mountain bike in Marin county, CA.

So sad to hear of the passing of legendary producer and manager Larry Page. I met him when I moved to the Central Coast and loved hearing his rock ‘n’ roll stories about The Kinks, Troggs and REM. A true gentleman who’ll be missed by many. Vale Larry Page #DHKQ

Good friends share the music that they love. Last Sunday I received a text from my good friend Sophie Little Wise who has impeccable taste in music. The text alerted me to Hurray for the Riff Raff’s hurray for the riff raff latest album The Past Is Still Alive #DKHQ daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/04/19/hur…

#throwbackthursday To 2015 outside of Rough Trade Records, Tower Hamlets, London. Remember that Saturday 20th April is Record Store Day Aus support your independent music retailers because if you don’t use them you loose them. #DKHQ #RSD2024

I can’t believe that it's taken me so long to feature Blur’s 2023 ninth studio album, The Ballad of Darren, as my #TFI_Friday album. I don’t think anyone expected a career-best album from the reformation of Blur #DKHQ #Blur

#ThrowbackThursday How it all started. A 13 year old me and my friend Chris DJing at Spring Street Theatre, Hull, East Yorkshire #DKHQ

Dalton Koss are off duty this afternoon as we’ll be letting our collective hair down at Burning Dan Festival #DKHQ

The new Libertines album, All Quiet on the Eastern Esplanade, was only released this morning (5th April 2024), so I’ve only had a few hours in its noble company, but I am absolutely digging it. #DKHQ daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/04/05/the…

There’s a whiteboard in the DKHQ office on which there is a list of forthcoming albums that I want to feature as our #TFI_Friday album. Many months ago, I added Waxahatchee’s six studio album Tigers Blood to the list & its this week’s #TFI_Friday #DKHQ daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/03/29/wax…

Splendour in the Grass to Be Replaced by '4,000 Poker Machines in the Grass'

#throwbackthursday Portrait of an artist as a young man; my 15 year old Dad, Karl Dalton, at the top of Whitefriargate in Hull around 1949. It’s almost two years since he passed away aged 87. To quote Thomas Hobbs “life is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short”. #DKHQ

Take the very best parts of the Stone Roses’ and Oasis’ DNA; fuse them together via some genetic engineering and what do you get? This week’s Dalton Koss HQ #TFI_Friday album Liam Gallagher’s and John Squire’s 2024 eponymous release. daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/03/22/lia… #DKHQ

I have a confession to make about this week’s Dalton Koss HQ #TFI_Friday album Happiness Bastards by The Black Crowes. In 2001 I toured the USA with the Black Crowes which included one of the best gigs Ive ever done at Stubbs BBQ in Austin as part of SXSW daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/03/15/the…

#ThrowbackThursday To 1979 with The Z Men playing in a small Hull pub venue back when you could see and hear live music 7 nights a week in every city and town in across UK. With so many small, independent music venues closing I fear for the future of grass roots live music #DKHQ

At Dalton Koss HQ we don’t do business meetings, we build long lasting relationships #DKHQ

Experimentation in any creative endeavour is very rewarding and as evidence I offer up Margaret Glaspy’s 2023 album Echo the Diamond, which is this week’s #DKHQ Dalton Koss HQ #TFI_Friday album. daltonkosshq.wordpress.com/2024/03/08/mar…

#throwbackthursday To the late 1980s with The Beastie Boys and Run DMC. I spent a good part of the 80s & 90s on tour mixing these two acts. #DKHQ
