Just the loveliest interview with Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien. The anecdote about Jonny Marr is spot on…

Congratulations Scott! 👏👏👏

Many congratulations! xx

@gralefrit.bsky.social Thank you for your insights on the Arvon course just now - was really useful x

I grew up in Manchester and I’ve not heard of them until today.

You too?

Haven’t bought it, but listened to the first part a few times (streaming). It bears repeated listens. But I shared the same fears as you. I dare say I can pick it up used one day if I change my mind.

Yeah, Beck playing those records with an orchestra was a bucket list item for me. Wonderful.

1. Radiohead, Bologna
2. Beck, Royal Albert Hall
3. LCD Soundsystem, Brixton
4. Pulp, Glastonbury
5. The Ting Tings, Gibson guitar shop, Denmark St
5: Sensitive album launch, The Social

One of my all time favourite films.

Merry Christmas.
Just found one of my favourite books, The Puffin Book of Improbable Records.
Quentin Blake illustrations and John Yeoman’s text. I think a lot of my sense of humour derives from this book.

Well Kept Secret is perhaps one of only two listenable James Last records. (Ducks for cover). Great pick from your #vinylsanta and an absolute chazza classic!

Wow!

Classic northern soul from R Dean Taylor!

Great selection pack!

I’m a bit late posting my #vinylsanta, but what a selection! Including the all-time greatest Christmas album and a chance to explore Jefferson Starship and Tangerine Dream.
Thank you vinyl Santa!

I think most of the band names sound like they were found in a medical dictionary.

Extraordinary stuff, isn’t it?

The recipient of my #vinylsanta can count themselves very very fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it) that I didn’t visit Oxfam in Bruges in time.

Currently enjoying the sheer joy of Bruges’ antique shops

Time for a Christmas mash up: The Beatles and Boston: “Christmas in Boston” share.google/9bd2CqB0gHCU...

One chazza find and the rest from the bargain bin at the local shop

Rejoice! Xmas cards are now for sale at www.etsy.com/shop/8bitnorthxstitch There’s something old, something new, something northern & something blue (for the lads): Wham!, John & Yoko, East 17, Slade, Royle Family, Fanny Cradock, Smiths, Spice Girls, Beatles & Ghosts. Something for all the family!

It’s yours? Ha! Superb. Excellent work! 👏👏👏

An excel spreadsheet of a night-by-night breakdown of every Radiohead song being played on the current tour.

I love the nerdiness of the Radiohead fans who are tracking every setlist of the tour on excel spreadsheets.
