Usually thinking about music & vinyl, often when I should be doing something else. I try and post a #TOTD using the 'random item' option on my #discogs #vinyl collection.

Dragged myself into the office today 'for the culture' to find I was the only mug in my team who was in. So I did the only sensible thing and stuck in my earbuds and caught up with some beautiful albums. Feels like we're in autumnal sad season judging by these choices.
Pentangle - Cruel Sister
Nick Drake - A Treasury
Laurie Anderson - Mister Heartbreak
John Martyn - Bless The WeatherLuke Una (compilation) - Everything Above The Sky
Lhasa - The Living Road
Gather In The Mushrooms (The British Folk Underground 1969 - 1975)
Joni Mitchell - Hejira

Next bingo night at Whelford Village Hall will be a right laugh: "I believe that my 999 call foiled whatever plans they had." "I am absolutely staggered that it was left to me as a member of the public to see and report this," she said.

Since Vikki has deleted the post I quoted and turned off reposts on the main post due to being absolutely rinsed, here's the context of what I was replying to...
oday is the first reading of my Presentation Bill seeking mandatory registration for all hairdressers and barbershops in England. 
 
The Bill has genuine cross-party support and was developed on the back of an excellent Parliamentary event, co-hosted by local barber Mike Taylor...

If only there were other visible signs that ppl are supporting genuine barbershops and salons staffed by skilled professionals. Let me see if I can think of just one OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. Could it be stepping out looking fly with a fresh fade? Would that be a reasonable indicator of quality?

On the topic of nurdles, I remember doing a 'back of a fag packet calculation' after seeing Grangemouth on a documentary, and it worked out that to reclaim/recycle the equivalent of 1 day of production there was equivalent to the entire annual recycling of a city the size of Edinburgh or Bristol.

Hah, the phone just served up this memory. Was this when they launched the Sunday edition after NOTW shut down? I remember they delivered a free one to evey house for some shite reason anyway.
Copy of The Sun newspaper that was delivered free to every house in 2012 as some marketing bullshit. It is wrapped in a postage band addressed to their freepost address with a note telling them to shove it up their arse prior to being dropped in the postbox.

I got to see Ye Vagabonds (Carlow's finest etc etc) on Tuesday evening playing to a small crowd in a tent in the shadow of Corfe Castle. Just seen footage on the 'gram of their sold out show at the Roundhouse on Thursday night so feeling pretty lucky we got to see them in such an intimate space.

When I've got a good audiobook or podcast on the go, it's concerning how much rage and resentment I feel if somebody I know gets on the bus to work and wants to chat.

​I asked my wife yesterday—thinking back on all the gigs, raves, and festivals we’ve done—if she ever felt those events would’ve been improved by the local "Friends of [Insert Arts Centre/Theatre]" curating them and attending as bemused observers. Total swizz.
