Like music, do you? Like The Beatles, yeah? Why don’t you buy Paul McCartney’s friends house then? Why don’t you? Put it on a shelf alongside the Anthology box set. bid.omegaauctions.co.uk/auction/deta...

Piddington’s Tim McNally pushing Reform talking points live on the BBC right now. Defending far right protests and warning of more. Why has this been the main story all morning?

Everyone and their (mod) dog is sharing this this morning, but what a great clip. Just before they became the mighty Mighty Baby, Reg is in fine form here, and Alan King's moustache is a thing to behold. Also, the terrible dancing. youtu.be/_TMm-GWESGA?...

Out of a random box of classical records, a personal 78 of lecture materials by Rosey E. Pool. Dutch teacher, Anne Frank’s tutor, nazi escapee, poet and civil rights activist. Also a BBC transcription disc of Gordon Heath folk songs recorded in NL, assume this was also Rosey’s.

Bought in the record department of Kenilworth’s bustling Woolie’s, the very heart of the town. I can remember plucking it from the big display of that weeks top 40, and having discussed every record with my sisters, I went with this one.

Stereolab once came round my house to buy an amp off someone I was living with. They set up keyboards in the living room and played a tune or two, while we were all star struck upstairs.

One of the greatest pop records EVER and I will fight anyone on this. Also came in a 7” double pack with the US remix of Poison Arrow & The Look Of Love so there’s everything you need right there.

An album of ornate melancholia that could only have been created in 1968, despite frequently sounding not just pre-psychedelic but pre-20th Century. The lyrics were written by a pair of promising young men named Palin and Jones who went on to do some other things. #NowPlaying

Popped out to bakers and then picked up three big bags of records for a tenner off someone down the road from the bakers. Mad old mix with some gems in there. Plastic Penny! Dandy on Giant! And a Smith lp I don’t have.

Picked up a suitcase of 45s from a dank, dark shop the other day. they’d been on FB for weeks so assumed the seller was asking a high price, but he only wanted £20 so took a punt. And glad I did! A pile of 2 tone & punk, followed by a pile of UK demos. Noice.

I always check piles of old 78s in charity shops in case of gold but it’s usually marches, foxtrots & recitals. But checked a pile yesterday and actual blues records! 2 Big Bill Broonzy 78s and a Paramount 78 by Ida Cox released in 1924, so 100 years old now. Noisy but plays, and is great.
