I'm in the middle of one! I've clearly taken up the baton ...

Soothe Me YouTube video by Sam & Dave - Topic

RIP soul legend Sam Moore of Sam & Dave. I grew up on this music, especially thanks to The Blues Brothers. What a voice ♥️

Nice thought! Optimum and comprehensive are hard things to quantify but I'll offer this:

Can you do a "DJ set for self" at least every evening for about 2-3 hours of playing for 2 weeks (where each set is unique)?

That's optimum for me.

For the record (!) I've got about 700x 45s and 250x 33s.

I appreciate that Neil (a bit of peer validation always helps). Hope all's good chap.

Thanks John. I will be in touch soon on either/both Lisbon and Amsterdam!!

Hope you've started the year well. I gifted Katy your book and she loves it as witnessed by her LinkedIn post. Thanks for replying to that. Made her day.

Anyway, let's see if I can find my way back into some useful and stimulating short posting.

I'll say this:
1. The NFL playoffs starting today is exciting.
2. Detroit Lions having a bye week as No 1 NFC Seed, I never thought I'd see in 3 decades of following them.
3. 60's Soul Vinyl is timeless

What I AM going to do is not get worked up by orange bufoons, rich asshats, unhinged, attention-seeking nobodies and folks who've taken over other places online with their nasty, divisive bile.

"Stay and fight?" That's what they get off on.

Turn away & give them no-one to rage at. I'm doing that.

I haven't posted much on here.

Kinda out of the habit as the sh*thole that is X ruined my flow for short-posting.

Not going to do any New Year's resolution on getting back into it but this place is SO much the way it should be. I'll find my mojo again.

Thanks for the share Gary.

Dan Campbell Lions Locker Room Speech After Thanksgiving Win: “Thankful” for #Lions YouTube video by Jeff Skversky

It was a tough game for my Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. And yet, a win.

Injuries, penalties and bad time management by the Bears at the very end. Coach Campbell sums it up, and then the over-achiever of the game, DJ Reader, shows the spirit of digging in.

I resorted to a UK reissue...had to have it somehow. The original has a big price tag but it is a BIG sound.

I recall going to Parr Hall on Palmyra Square that specific night.

I vividly remember Cecil Washington's "I Don't Like To Lose" being played alongside a crop of Stafford newies at the time. The venue was really dark, but a good atmosphere/playlist

I've had some nice flashbacks from that flyer.

Come on you Cobblers. Awful conditions but the pitch is looking great (for now) @ntfc.bsky.social local(ISH) derby with Cambridge United in League One. #ntfc

Up cycling/accidental - I'd say that's meant to be there. The Jumper Gods have decreed it.

Precisely that and Graeber had it right. Maybe now it's up to us to fight the good fight?

My first foray into Christmas Jumpers was last year.

So it could be a sign of age, giving in to popular culture or that designs have gotten better.

Mine for example includes symbols from The Mandalorian. So I'm going with the latter...

YES! That would be lovely - the week of the 16th?

But it is well said and not the privilege of the "white collar" workers. It is for all. Good work, as a core tenet of life, is not a wasteful way to live and be. We have work to do about work. And the quest continues.

And even in tiny pockets, a difference made to make work more of a symbiotic part of a balanced life is what keeps my wheels turning. It's so poorly and corruptly designed, so it needs course-correcting redesign: systems, science and behavioural adaptations. I'm devoted to creating a better way.

I hold a belief that there's merit in working ON work. A mission to redress that distorted imbalance in what work has become. To usher in a renaissance of human flourishing and solve the problems of the world: Inequality of wealth; damage to the planet and communities' better care, education, etc.

Great to see you here, Lynn. @markrusselluk.bsky.social was right to tempt you - it's a nice place to be, and now, it's even nicer.
