I rarely listen to tapes these days but I couldn't get rid of it. So tactile.

The most versatile word in Hiberno-English. It can mean anything from disappointingly bad to really good. It's all in the tone.

I like 50's 60's American colour photography. These are from the book.

Have you ever tried Quordle? Might keep you occupied a short while longer.

The Winogrand Color book is very good.

Karel Martens. Every day is a new day.

Don't have the mag but I still have this.

So Americans do actually climb on their own roofs. I thought it was only a thing ye did on TV and in movies.

It arrived and very nice it is too. 😀

It looked so good I ordered it.

I was looking at glass from Pompeii in a Naples museum and thought of @wendyo.bsky.social

Shawn Levy's Ready, Steady Go! is a great place to read about 60's Stamp.

He only had the Strat for six years at that stage, so there was still some varnish on it.

When I see the word Telefunken I have to say it out loud and pronounce it like Paul Durcan does in the song In The Days Before Rock n Roll.

Amadán 😀

When it starts it will already be Paddy's Day in Ireland. It's good to hear someone do a decent Irish accent.

I got my power back after the storm. Still no water, internet or tv but the house is warm, my stereo works and I'm reading Bob Stanley's Let's Do It so things are ok.

Everything I think to say sounds trite to me so all I can do is turn to a poet. Seamus Heaney in this case.

How did you get into my house?

Hours on a bus to Dublin in the 80's with the money I had saved to buy records. Got the how does it feel to feel compilation. Still one of my favourite albums.

Happy St. Stephen's Day 😀

Midnight Mass is usually at 9pm in Ireland these days.

Oilskins weather here. Yet another storm.
