#dixons50years So many musical adventures started at Dixon Recycled Records. My brothers bought second hand Queen and Styx LPs from Dixons Dandenong back in the 80s, and that was my first major introduction to rock, as bombastic as those bands were.

938. Fastball: Sonic Ranch. The latest album from this trio, and once again filled with clever and hooky pop rock. Probably the best thing to come out of Texas. #CDsAtoZ 💿

937. Queen: Hot Space. This is known by some as Queen’s “weird dance album” but like all their stuff it’s filled with all kinds of styles and approaches. ‘Cool Cat’, ‘Life Is Real’, ‘Staying Power’, etc etc etc. It’s fantastic! You should get into Queen, you might like them. #CDsAtoZ 💿

The outer shelves that go around the nook were designed and built by my very clever wife! All I did was help her assemble. The inner part attached to the wall is 3 of the IKEA narrow bookcases, shelves out and placed horizontally. Used to be a built in wardrobe. A lot of work but it is so cool.

935. Phil Collins: Hello, I Must Be Going! ‘Take A Look At Me Now’ 2 CD edition with live versions and demos. This is my favourite solo album from Phil and it sounds so good remastered. Live performances are fantastic. #CDsAtoZ 💿

932. Eagles: One of These Nights. 50th anniversary 4-disc set, including a full live performance from 1975 and a BluRay with the Atmos mix. This sounds so good! The original mix was pretty muddy; this one brings out the vocals so well. #CDsAtoZ 💿

Two galaxies in Leo: M65 (left), 42,000,000 light years away, and M66 (right), 31,000,000 light years away. Each measures at least 100,000 light years in diameter. Think of the billions of stars within each of these ancient galaxies. May 11th 2026 #astrophotography

Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), May 11th 2026, currently in Orion and 127,000,000 kilometres away. It is now outbound, and is expected to be eventually ejected from the solar system. Farewell then, lonely green traveller. #astrophotography

The arrow points to a green smudge which is Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), currently in Orion and 122,000 kilometres away. To the right is M42, the Orion Nebula. I couldn't make out the comet's tail but there's always tomorrow. Canon R6 camera, May 10th 2026 #astrophotography

924. Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique. London Symphony Orchestra conducted by André Previn. A truly fantastic piece of music, which has the premise of an artist’s drug adventure. Hence the movement about him marching to the gallows. #CDsAtoZ 💿

Fantastic! Here’s a snippet of my Frank collection. My favourites are Lumpy Gravy, Waka/Jawaka, Läther, the YCDTOSA series and One Size Fits All. And pretty much everything he ever did.

Planets are bloody hard to photograph. They are dim compared with stars and the atmosphere here on Earth affects the quality of the light coming through. Anyway, here's Jupiter and it turned out OK. March 30th 2026 #astrophotography
