As Johnny P already commented, massive thanks for including Micky Greaney’s “Sweetheart”.

Micky Greaney, legendary producer John Leckie and mastering maestro John Rivers met up last week and we’ve just made available a few copies of Micky’s “And Now It’s All This” LP signed by all three of them. mickygreaney.bandcamp.com

Just missed a train because I tried to get in and out of a curry house in twenty minutes. Agonisingly close. We go again

From a different time…. ….going through some of my late father’s photos, came across this from his late 1950’s National Service in Egypt.

Oxford, Brighton, London and Bangkok. It appears that, back in the day, my dad was partial to a souvenir hotel hanger or two….

A riot is not a protest. A racist is not an activist. A thug is not a patriot. Far right extremism is precisely that. Words matter. Why are some in the media refusing to use them accurately?

Still think the best idea I came up with for my as yet unfinished novel was the name of the main character, Andy McCartney, otherwise known as Lennon.

With the King & Queen of Sweden watching DuPlantis in the Olympics Pole Vault and the King of Spain watching Spain v Germany in the 3X3 Olympics Basketball, I can’t help but think of this by The Jacobites. youtu.be/0-FMlXNg6Jc?si… “….the kings and the queens are out tonight…”

The Hold Steady, The Replacements and now Bon Iver. Come for the politicians, stay for their taste in music…. (….and their politics).

Is there such a thing still as a feel good story? If so, this works for me.

I am indebted to, as #CyrilFletcher used to say, (#OneForTheTeenagers) a Mr D Barker of Glass Modern for sending a copy of Jowe Head’s “Art For All” compilation. Out Now! glassmodern.bandcamp.com/album/art-for-…

Twine with the kind of incisive pass into the area we need to see one of our midfielders making. #PUSB

When I’m 64. Today. Thanks for the meme.

Sitting in the main stand for the first time in years, in front of the press boxes, I have to say it was a privilege watching Milan up close for that last half hour. Best defensive right back since Roland Nilsson and possibly best attacking right back I’ve seen play for us. #PUSB

This is basically how Brexit happened.

No songwriter occupies as much of a space in my soul as Stephen Duffy. And of all his albums, there are none that make me feel quite the way Astronauts does. This is three years in the making. Stephen put everything into these songs. The least we could do was follow suit.
