The image shows a DJ on a snowboard, decks and all.  He is saying, "unsurprisingly, I break a lot of records".

Well, my original copy of Aqualung was a TDK D90 special, taped from my Uncle's BASF copy. But now I have 4 'proper' physical copies, so maybe, "Home taping is a gateway to future multi format vulnerability."?

How have I got 3 copies of Weasels Ripped my Flesh? And what's more...how do you know? 😀

Literally yesterday I found 2 copies of the 'It's a beautiful day' album. I like the aesthetic of the US pressing, but the sleeve is worn, 'necessitating' a second copy.

This year I made a real effort to find a lot of unknown artists making Christmas music. For this, Bandcamp is a blessing (so much choice) and a curse (so much choice). I found some great Christmas music for a proper, warm, Christmas mood enhancer. Please give it a go: www.cwmp3.com/2025/12/21/2...

Here is my 2025 Christmas show. 28 tunes gleened from hundreds of possible tracks. Mostly great versions of classics by unknown artists. You can safely play it with children and judgemental parents around. www.cwmp3.com/2025/12/21/2...

When people on here say watch/listen to something at a certain time, I never know what time that is where I am. So I found this, which tells you when 6pm UK time is, where you are: tinyurl.com/2kdkd6fw So, if it's the middle of the night, you might not be too busy to listen to my show live...right?

Last Saturday's show is live to stream. Discover how similar I think the amazing Frankie & the Witch Fingers sound to The Tubes! All in the company of me after 3 hours playing New York Zoo in a pub in Basingstoke. Real vinyl was used in the creation of this broadcast. www.cwmp3.com/2025/08/10/2...
A man is sitting at a computer, seemingly trying to insert a 12" record into the screen. The image is generated by AI and shows not only how far this technology has come but also how far it still has to travel. The man's cap has a gap at the front through which his hair elegantly pokes...why?

Finally, a pressing of Misplaced Childhood that I don't have to buy as it breaks the picture disc rule, by being one.

I just pulled my copy of The Eternal by Sonic Youth and it still has the price on it...£17.99. Double album. And a bonus live album. We didn't know we were born in those days.

We had a terrific night at the 100 Club on Oxford Street last night, thanks to the generous spirit of @damnablyrecords.bsky.social and alongside the wonderful Say Sue Me and Hazy Sour Cherry. At 30 years old, Lazarus Clamp shows no signs of stopping.

Three posts in a row with the same artwork is not cool. But if you have never seen a tapesty celebrating indie rock before, maybe you haven't visited the right museums. The radio show that picture promotes is now available to stream at the end of this link: www.cwmp3.com/2025/02/08/2...

I say that many bands are my favourite bands, but this band means everything to me. Dip your toes into The Blue Aeroplanes with this, as the blurb says, 'career spanning collection'.

You can listen to Andrew's show from last weekend here: www.cwmp3.com/2024/12/12/2... You may notice from the picture that he is playing Karate, a band that are currently touring their first new album in years. If you've never heard them, what better time to start?

Watching the very fine Reciprocate at The Victoria in Dalston. Realising that I have a record by Shield Your Eyes that is at least one of these people. Find Reciprocate at here: romacpuncturerepairs.bandcamp.com I have included a substandard phone snap for small venue authenticity.

Last Saturday's show is up on our site. It is the work of man about town and author, Alan Devey. This AI image generator has got a lot better at fingers, which makes it a lot less fun. Anyway, here's the link: www.cwmp3.com/2024/12/01/2... Alan likes the band Recalculating, work that one out...
A cowgirl is riding a horse whilst playing an acoustic guitar. There is nothing funny or distorted about the image and so I need to find myself a worse AI image generator.

Tonight's show is the work of printmaker John Bloor; coming off the back of a busy print fair in Winchester today. www.johnbloor.co.uk Have a listen to his 40th show. You'll have to sit down, some of the music might take the paint off your walls. www.cwmp3.com/2024/11/10/2...

For this week's show, I wanted to include a variety of complex songs alongside the odd crowd pleaser. I'm not sure which songs constitute crowd pleasers though. There are some catchy songs by bands I know very little about, so why not take a listen... www.cwmp3.com/2024/04/21/2...

#progrock I appreciate that my radio show is not wall to wall prog, but it is made by me, a huge progressive rock and anything fan. It is broadcast on www.radiowoking.co.uk at 6pm UK time and lasts for 2 hours. This ridiculous AI picture of a cat is designed to add intrigue.

I am trying out a new bitesize way to listen to our radio shows. Here is an example. Since I have no followers and no idea what I am doing, I thought I might shout into the void for a bit. www.mixcloud.com/radiowoking/...

I went record shopping today and, amongst others, bought this album by Dave Mason. I was intrigued by the 4 blurry coconuts and the fact that his guitar playing only appears to have attracted a sub-Disney total of 3 animals, unless you count the butterfly, which to me looks inattentive.
