Gonna watch The Tingler again while I keep working on the show notes/laboured Halloween puns for undeadpan delivery and attempt not to lose my ever-lovin’ mind.

Will really try to get this year’s Haunted Jukebox Halloween Hop up on time, but my recording space is currently full of shite that I can’t move, because I have three potential new landlords coming to view my flat tomorrow morning, so there may be some delay… #musicsky #radio #DJ #nowspinning

Dreamed that there was no Wikipedia page for the song The Dark End Of The Street, so the rest of the dream was just me making very detailed notes for one. I worry about my brain sometimes. #musicsky

Still working out exactly where everything’s going, but all of the LPs and 10/12” singles are out on the shelves, nobody has to live in a box, so I’m calling it a successful trip to IKEA. #musicsky #vinyl #nowspinning

Records, sweet records: one 2x2 black IKEA Kallax to the left, and a 1x2 to the right, on top of a vintage teak record cabinet, a HiFi on top of the 1x2, and wooden crates of 7” singles to its right. Colourful framed posters and photos of jazz greats line the wall, and the LP currently playing (The Ramones S/T) is displayed on one of the shelves underneath the HiFi.

Tunes all picked for this year’s Haunted Jukebox Halloween Hop (out on Thursday night). Why not give last year’s spooky Snakes and Roundabouts a whirl in the meantime - it’s definitely not as bad as the listener count suggests. www.mixcloud.com/rockinrachelroll/snakes-and-roundabouts-3-october-2025

Snakes and Roundabouts #3 (October 2025) by RockinRachelRoll

Darkness and death, as well as some slightly more light-hearted monster fun, abound in a Snakes and Roundabouts Halloween special.

Queen of the lipstick/earrings/pyjamas combo. I am always prepared for a good standing on the doorstep rubbernecking street drama moment.

Pretty much already described in the post, bar the lipstick-stained fag hanging out of me mouth, and the slightly vacant expression.

Haunted Jukebox #25 (September 2026) by RockinRachelRoll

Autumn is in the air, birds are on the wing, and the leaves are starting to fall, so what better time to gather round this Haunted Jukebox for a strong medicinal dose of red-hot rock'n'roll?

Only been clearing out my spare room (dumping everything back in the cupboard I use as a recording studio)/trying to make my flat look nice so my landlord can fucking sell it for a few hours, and running away to join the circus already seems like a better option.

Someone asked a question about ‘how do we get the young people into rock’n’roll?’ in the Q&A part of the Eddie Cochran film event I went to the other week, and I keep seeing footage from rock’n’roll/rockabilly nights online, where it’s at least a 60/40 split between men and women…

Internet’s been going in and out again all night, so I’ve spent most of my evening watching Sabrina The Teenage Witch on my laptop (I don’t have a lot of shows on there). Honestly, it holds up surprisingly well. Also, Mr. Poole was kind of hot? Revelations. #tvsky

I was annoyed that the internet kept going off, which makes my stupid smart TV feel a lot less clever (probably good for it, the arrogant bastard), but it did lead to me listening to this album again. #musicsky #nowplaying #vinyl #nowspinning

Y’know, bits of things I said in this show keep coming back to me now I’m a bit pissed, and I won’t lie to yous, this seems like something of an under-exaggeration. ‘Only mildly deranged’ might have been a wee bit more honest.

If this isn’t how you accidentally turn your bathroom into a honky-tonk, then I don’t know what is. Also, I hashtagged this ‘splishsplash’ on Instagram, which made me think you could do a really great country cover of Splish Splash, and you know what, I bet somebody has.

In a darkened bathroom, a tealight burns brightly in a golden coloured metal candleholder in the shape of a cactus, sat on a bathroom windowsill in front of a frosted window, with soft circles of green and blue light reflected in it.

I was singing this in the bath before, and improvised a Big Soul Ending, and I’m pretty sure it was decent, which is a great advert for drinking and smoking in the bath, but equally, I have no idea how it went. Willy & Ruth - Love Me youtu.be/6Ysk_FaCcAU?... #musicsky #nowplaying #nowspinning
