Bought the latest Tracey Thorn called "Love and it's Opposite". I's a grower. Subtle and pensive. Was listening to her about 25 years ago when she was in The MArine Girls.


Completely from left field, got a compilation called "Songs for Dad" from my two little ones on Father's Day. Thought it was a touching gesture that would quickly be gathering dust - but this starts with "Come FLy with Me2 by Sinatra, ends with Johnnie Ray's "Just Walking in the Rain" and in between sweeps through a load of gems from the 50s, including "Good Rocking Daddy" by Etta James. Cool.

Micah P Hinson's new one. A change of direction, much richer arrangements and a bit cheerier if I'm not mistaken.

Very good.


Also got She & Him - Volume 2, Zooey Deschanel's musical project, this time with M Ward. Sort of Gainsbourg & Birkin after hanging around with Johnny Cash for too long.


Have read a couple of good reviews of the Tracy Thorn album, might give it a quick spotify and see if I like it.

Jeff Beck's new album Emotion And Commotion and quite a bit of old reggae at the moment. Always the same with me when the sun comes out. So it's been Lee "Scratch" Perry's Arkology boxset, a singles compilation from Doctor Alimantado, King Tubby's Meet The Rockers Uptown and Eek-A-Mouse's first album Wa-Do-Dem.

    • I hope you had it marked on the bike register.  Many stolen bikes end up on Gumtree (mine did) so check listings. https://www.gumtree.com/for-sale/sports-leisure-travel/bicycles/uk/srpsearch+condor  if the listings is a copy and paste from the bike company website that is almost definitely stolen, or details are scant.  When they talk about how long they had the bike, the sort of journeys, what they have done to maintain and improve it etc they will be genuine. I've got no advice on how to do a sting and get it back,
    • If everybody boycotted the DKH Sainsbury's, no doubt the heating would quickly be either turned up or fixed 🤬 Any journalists on here who would like to publicise it in the local press?
    • Aria stopped a water leak in our toilet and then replaced it quickly and efficiently just before Christmas. This is the second job he’s done for us and we’re very happy with both. I can recommend Aria to anyone needing a plumber. 
    • Sadly not any more, see my edit above. May now be 2am for some houses 😭
