#WeekendSingles No new vinyl from me this week, but I bought this fab t-shirt from Trevor’s friend. I think it should be our official uniform 🤓

Red T-shirt with yellow writing. It says Post Punk in the same lettering as the UK Post Office.

7” singles by Elton John, RAH Band, Midge Ure and Vesta Williams.

The amazing I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper by Sarah Brightman on 7”.

7” singles by Alarm, Kim Appleby and Boy George.

#BirthdayNumber1Top10 2 - Billy Bragg with Cara Tivey - She’s Leaving Home Continuing with the Beatles theme: this was at number one (May 88) because of Wet Wet Wet, obviously, but Billy and Cara’s version of SLH is what I bought it for. Billy remains one of my favourite humans to this day.

7” of She’s Leaving Home/With a Little Help..

#WeekendSingles #AlbumAlmanac I don’t think anyone who knows me would be surprised to know I have five copies of The Queen Is Dead. Electronic Sound came with Scritti Politti 7”, so had to get it. Also, couple of new 12”s and some summer faves with Cola Boy and the Coconuts.

12” singles by Scritti Politti and Heaven 17.

The Queen Is Dead by the Smiths: box set, LP, 10” LP, CD and cardboard sleeve CD.

A copy of the latest issue of Electronic Sound magazine with Green Gartside on the cover and a copy of the 7” single it came with, featuring Scritti Politti’s WOOD BEEZ and Perfect Way.

#WeekendSingles Come On were a CBGB band in the late 70s. I met Jaime, the cantankerous lead singer, in a dive bar a few years ago and he later gave me a copy of the 7”. Very No New York/Pere Ubu/DNA vibe. The Vanishing Twin 12” is from Earworm Records in York from my trip last weekend. #Yorkshire

#BookSky I’m aware of the irony (see the author’s scathing remarks about *some* social media platforms), but if you are in the mood to have half of your life choices surgically taken apart by @doctorow.pluralistic.net you couldn’t do much better than reading this.

Met another member of the #WeekendSingles gang yesterday. @rjjny.bsky.social and I saw the Keith Haring show in the East Village then had vodkas and he patiently listened to my incoherent ramblings. Some of the music here was mentioned.
