11 year-old me saw this at the cinema and thought it the best film ever made.

This is almost worth having just for the cover which I didn’t appreciate at first is a painting (even though of course it is).

It’s April 1st, so must listen to this, co- written, as is clear to hear, by Jellyfish’s Andy Sturmer.

Stopped off here on the way to the new Robyn album.

I never really got along with this, its contents seemed to chime with the greyness of the cover.

Honestly though, it’s never sounded better, and will be getting another spin this afternoon.

I suspect my soft spot for him comes from Nicky Campbell occasionally playing him on Radio 1 in the early 90’s.

Sorry to hear Neil Sedaka has died.

A cheering presence on Instagram in recent times, seemed a thoroughly nice man, and though he never seemed ‘cool’, was a writer of many fine songs.

Thought I never needed to hear You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling again, but then Brian turned up on this with a full on one man bad version.

Decided to pick up this Japanese version of the We Gotta Groove Beach Boys box.

It’s just the three CD’s. With this kind of thing I’m never going to listen to it on vinyl so it seemed a waste to have a box with both formats and even with postage it was a third of the price of the full size box.

Marcos Valle - Garra and s/t LP’s

Vampisoul in Spain have put out new versions of these two. Seemed only right to pick them up in Barcelona last month, though think they are around in the UK.

I picked up the CD versions on LITA when they came out so didn’t *need* these but, you know…

Ah, the modern challenge of buying tickets that go on sale at 10am and also having a Teams meeting scheduled for 10am.

Why is my camera off? No reason.

Dinner cooking soundtrack. Loved the album previous to this so thought it worth a punt. Also, great cover.

Picked this up in Copenhagen at the weekend. Appropriate since it was recorded in DK and released on a Danish label.

I think every artist who plays Tiny Desk is asked to leave behind something to add to the shelves. Maybe that was Robert Plant’s contribution?

Don’t know what this says about me but this was the one record I bought after reading Bob Stanley’s Let’s Do It.

It’s fair to say Denmark has been cold.
That, on the other side of the bushes, is the sea.
