Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Another great piece of #Nirvana history saved for posterity. November 1990 at the Off Ramp, Seattle. An absolutely furious recording and now one of the mastertapes has been archived. 🙂 youtu.be/I_3ltyM1kAA?... 000

Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Facebook served an advert, encouraging me to "join us as we celebrate the anniversary..." and I thought it was maybe Procol Harem or The Zombies, given the amount of grey hair on show and equally aged faces. I clicked the link and it turned out to be Wet Wet Wet and I may never be the same again. 000

Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 10/06/2026I know we usually defer to the BBC during crucial moments in history but I think ITV's pundit lineup of Keane, Neville and Wright wins out over Shearer, Rooney and 🧐 Joe Hart. 000

Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 25/05/2026I am trying to remember a record shop/outlet where I bought a lot via mail order in the early/mid 90s. Possibly based in Oxford, they would send out chunky A5 catalogues every month or so. I used to get my Kill Rock Stars and other US imports from them. Any ideas? #vinyl #indiepop 212

Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Within the last week we found out two guys we wanted to talk to about their tape collections have passed away. Drop me a line if you have grunge/alt/punk tapes that could be archived for posterity! The ⌚ is ticking! 000
Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Very suspicious when one of the big indie stores gets #RSD stock - including 'sold out' titles - after the fact. Why couldn't these be distro-ed on the day, especially to smaller stores who often struggle to get allocations? 000

Douglas Baptie @douglasbaptie.bsky.social · 20/04/2026RIP Desmond Morris, who seemed a bit of a fixture on TV when I was a kid. As well as being a learned man, he was a painter and, when was 18, painted his girlfriend, the future Diana Dors. Which is a great piece of trivia. 010
