Two kinds of people don’t love The Who: people who haven’t heard them yet, and fuckin’ eejits.

Gone from vodka to bourbon (ran out of vodka), in a move I can only assume I’ll regret come the morning.

I was correct in that assumption.

It’s not Sunday, but I have had a nap. Small Faces - Lazy Sunday m.youtube.com/watch?v=BKJXtT…

‘…tea was taken to the accompaniment of a discussion which golfing persons can imagine for themselves, about which the conscientious writer has no right to inflict upon any non-golfing persons’. CORRECT, M.R. James, and I thank you for it.

Works on a Sunday afternoon, too, I’d wager.

Hell, I’d follow him. Billy Williams - The Pied Piper youtu.be/WWOFk47TbcI?si…

This reminded me of a very different Billy Williams in my collection - clip below for your delight. Mr. Billy Williams, the man in the Velvet Coat - Why Can’t We Have the Sea in London?

Such a great ‘fuck you’ song. Tampa Red - You Rascal You m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0zjvg…

Sunday night earworm. The V-Eights - Ev’rything That You Said m.youtube.com/watch?v=BXDTWZ…

Wind’s been howling all afternoon, but it was the rain lashing against the window that woke me from an ill-advised, uneasy nap. Perfect weather to light some candles, read more ghost stories, and listen to some Tom Waits. Tom Waits - Flowers Grave m.youtube.com/watch?v=_x198_…

The rain is mostly just drops on the window and the birds are singing again, but any excuse for some ‘50s Drifters. The Drifters - Drip Drop m.youtube.com/watch?v=jIquZi…

If you’re looking for something elegiac, tinged with melancholy, and speaking of wide open skies, you could always do a lot worse than The Low Anthem. The Low Anthem - Scavenger Bird m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCaKDb…

More strange tales, from another great writer of the supernatural and unsettling - this time with bonus former owner of the book who didn’t feel that inscribing their name inside the cover was quite enough…

Swingin’ tune about a bar you probably don’t want to walk into. Big Boy Groves and Group - Bucket O’ Blood m.youtube.com/watch?v=J6D_83…

Right, that’s me out. hauntedjukebox on Bluesky for the same stuff I post here, mixcloud.com/RockinRachelRo… for my radio shows.
