This is a great display for anyone interested in local history and Stockport.

A lot of good looking albums out today, but I'm still catching up on those from last week - Avalon Emerson might need more of my attention

Clairo - Immunity (2019)

I'm sure if I thought about it for longer I'd come up with better albums, but this was the one of my highlight discoveries of that COVID year. Prefer this album to some of her more critically acclaimed follow ups.

Forgot to do one yesterday so have had to double up today. I'm fine with this actually as there's not much between 7 and 8.

10. Joy

A more 'accessible' single from them which maybe why I have it lower in the rankings. Seems a bit odd placed as the final album track as well imo.

Cheers, on further inspection it was familiar. Hadn't clocked the Manchester link originally

Email header showing a headline for a news article. The headline says 'Meet the AI goth helping Manchester's far right'

Didn't have this headline on my bingo card for 2026 @manchestermill.bsky.social

Love those notifications about artists you 'follow' on TIDAL when a random act with the same name gets lumped in with them.

I'm guessing this isn't the same Habibi as the Brooklyn indie 5-piece I'd prefer to hear about?

When I lived in Chester, and had hair, I used to go to Bromley's on Northgate St. Glad it's still there but it may have changed in the last decade!

I recall there was also a random one at the back of Boot's/Tesco near the gun shop (Queen Street) which was quieter and cheaper.

New Series: Accidental Ancestors Returning forgotten images to living memory...

I'm writing a new series about discovering a load of old family photos and trying to piece together who they all are.

Art School Girlfriend - Lean in album cover

Haute & Freddy album cover

#newmusic
Art School Girlfriend album is streaming today...
Haute & Freddy album out Friday...

Sounds good, let's hope they live up to my expectations.

An image of Rod, Jane and Roger (famously from the TV show Rainbow) leaning on a bed with a rainbow headrest

Thinking of booking a nice break away in a remote cottage, but not feeling confident about these Airbnb hosts...

A screenshot of my Pinterest dashboard which has suggested images based on my interests - these are Francoise Hardy, Uschi Obermaier, and David Sylvian/Japan. Also some AI image of a girl sliding down a rainbow for some reason

Clicked an old bookmark shortcut to Pinterest by mistake and the top 4 images on the screen are a nice insight into my world... shame about the AI one.

Just closed the window in case I 'share' the wrong screen.

Looks like it's Heinz tomato ketchup - and now I'm unprepared for my 11.00 meeting.

First disappointed observation - it's a Hard Rock Cafe, not a greasy spoon

I recall the video to Rock the Night, the band sat in a cafe and I am sure there is a bottle of ketchup/sauce being brandished by one of the band. I hope it's HP sauce and I'm going in to check...

I've been spending time getting to know this lady recently. An unknown face in a photo collection has sent me on an investigative journey around 1890s / 1900s Halifax.

I'll be writing about her story among others in a new series called 'Accidental Ancestors'.
