Morning all...not the best start to the day. My pelvis is in great need of some James Dean Bradfield axe action 'Down pale corridors of routine Where life falls unatoned... I try to walk in a straight line An imitation of dignity' #Tuesdaythoughts #ManicStreetPreachers

The work day is done and I've never wanted to listen to this song quite as much as I do right now. Sometimeqàs that one song is everything you need #Suede #Tuesdaythoughts #Bythesea open.spotify.com/track/5l1kHdQv…

I'm orffff out...dressed like a tudor Prince locked in a tower because velvet and furs keep out the cold. Might pop on a few harpsichord to get me in the mood #Saturdaythoughts

Had a lovely time tonight with this bunch at #Hokkaido ...birthdays, ramen noodles, a bit of dramatic food fog and lots of love and laughter #Saturdaynight #friendship

Taped on vhs in my early teens. I first saw this at a time when I was really starting to realise the world is never just what it appears to be on the surface. That slow pan down to a single ear in the grass...the ants. Imitation of life...life changing art...#DavidLynch

It's been almost a year since a bad accident left me unable to run. Just completed Day 1 of couch to 5K in some completely unsuitable clothes for the occasion...but I did it🙌 #Sundaythoughts #runningupthathill

When I need to muster up resilience and resolve I think of Colette 👊❤️ #SundayThoughts #Colette

No one is more precious about Bob than me...but I loved this film. Think we need a spin off series in the style of Quantum Leap in which Bob is the Sam character and Johnny Cash is Al and they go back in time and the real Bob remains a mystery #ACompleteUnknown

Guitar playing friends I'm looking for recommendations for a decent electro acoustic guitar, please. Would appreciate some advice. Thanking you kindly in advance #guitars

Went to a specialist folk shop with a lovely, super knowledgeable little lady who could advise on guitars with female curves in mind. We both want to try this so she's arranged for it to be sent from Canterbury bless her. It could be the one. #guitars

Had a sensational second-hand day today...the chazza gods were smiling on me some very nice records I'll share in a while, but this beautiful book deserves its own post #booklovers #jazz #HoagyCarmichael #Stardust

The second-hand gods did smile upon me today...and I wasn't going to leave any of these behind #vinyl #records #vinyllover #saturdaythoughts

My dad used to play Nat King Coles version of Stardust to me when I was young, I loved how magical it sounded. This book about how Stardust came to be is so beautiful 'Most people have room for all their loves, maybe I didn't. Perhaps music was my only real love' #Sunday #Jazz

I'm crying. #MarianneFaithfull sang our collective sorrows and battles so poetically. A modern-day troubadour. A voice that sounded how a soul would if it could sing. Growing, changing through the years ever the more beautiful for the experience. Hold her high. A true artist

One of my favourite #MarianneFaithfull albums. Perhaps her finest hour. Just her voice and a piano. A powerful example of her skill as an artist to interpret a song. Full of spirit, energy, and tenderness. Her version of 'Don't Forget Me' could crack even the hardest of hearts

Here we are...almost cracking with emotion, but she holds it perfectly and makes this song her own. So raw but so beautiful #MarianneFaithfull youtu.be/jGzXddhIFCc?si…

In 1965 Decca wanted #MarianneFaithful to release pop hits... she had her own ideas of what she wanted to create. Testament to her spirit she agreed to the one on the left only if they let her record the one on the right. Both wonderful...bur the one on the right is a masterpiece

I'm so looking forward to seeing this at last. Made with such love, and I'm sure it's going to be wonderful. An artist and an inspiration I hold close to my heart ❤️ #PaulineBoty
