Finally took a closer look at this chap and was a bit disappointed to discover he's marked out using concrete blocks. I always assumed he was cut into the chalk

Thanks to @maffrj.bsky.social for this great piece of synth pop. Look at those 80s hairstyles! So much hairspray! Aimee Mann though 😍

3 for 20 Euros from a stall at Blois market today. I am trying not to buy more compilation albums but the track listing on 'Black Flash' was too intriguing #FunkSky #SoulSky

20 Originals of David Crosby and Graham Nash. The cover features a terrible painting of the two of them. The album is 2 for 1 compilation of If Only I Could Remember My Name (Crosby) and Songs For Beginners (Nash)

A Yugoslavian pressing of the Jungle album by Dwight Twilley. Dwight is photographed on the cover leaning on an American mail box.

A compilation album called Black Flash with the subtitle 29 x Super Soul. The cover features a somewhat lurid image of some of the featured artists.

The reverse of the Black Flash album with black and white photos of the artists and the track listing which features tracks by Bobby Womack, Z.Z. Hill, Odia Coates, Vernon Burch, Lea Roberts, amongst others.

I am on a short trip to Normandy and the record shops of Dieppe and Le Havre have helped me to score several albums from my want list.

The 2LP reissue of Nino and Radiah by Nino Ferrer. I have carefully placed the cardboard slip case, which features painting of the two artists fully clothed and reclining on a bed, over the original gatefold sleeve which features a photo of the couple standing in a garden. Nino is fully clothed while Radiah is leaning on his shoulder stark naked.

The album Hollywood by Veronique Sanson. The cover features a black and white photo of Veronique sitting backwards on a chair holding lipstick

The album Virgins and Philistines by The Colour Field. The cover features the three guys in the band photographed in front of a stained glass window

One of the eponymous albums released by Teri Moïse. The CD cover features Teri photographed in a black vest.

a text exchange between, one assumes, wife and husband. She asks him "have you seen the cats bowl?" He replies, in jocular fashion, "I didn't know they could!" Years of exhausted and long-suffering grimness undergirds her reply: "i'm so sick and fucking tired of you"

I must have gone in at least 20 chazzas today in and around Worthing. In one I heard the magic words "I've got some more out the back if you'd like a look?" Only to have the dream shattered when they were brought out: "I hope you like Cliff Richards" 😫 £1 each for these was the best I could manage
