Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 6hVisited the new record shop in Worthing which has been open for a year and a half apparently! Who knew? A lovely guy runs it. I'll definitely be going back. 1140
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 23h#NowPlaying #MusicSky A few people have commented about me putting Relics in that 9 album thing, so it had to go on next! Bought in about 79/80 and with the 'proper' cover it's Floyd's second best album. 2170
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #ProgSky @nportnell.bsky.social recommended this to a King Crimson newbie earlier and he is correct. It is their best record and probably the best Prog album. Terrifying in places, but also rather beautiful. It's hard to beat. 170
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Everyone is having a go at this, so here is mine. I couldn't find Hancock's The Missing Page/Reunion Party album on there, so add that to these. 1120
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 05/10/2026No car this morning, waiting for my lift from a colleague. A very Autumnal morning. 090
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 04/10/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FolkSky Some more guitar for a slow lazy Sunday. 0111
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 04/10/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FolkSky My rule of thumb is when you see a Nic Jones record is buy it, because you hardly see them and they are all brilliant. 190
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In Sainsburys. No car so we have deployed the shopping trolley! 180
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 04/10/2026No car boot today because the car doesn't have any brakes that work. But should work again by the end of tomorrow. So have an old photo of Oliver and his brother from 2020. His brother went to another home but we managed to keep Oliver, who is asleep on the sofa as I write. 160
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky I have been after a copy of this for ages. Walking back from the garage where our car is being fixed I found a new (to me anyway) record shop in Worthing. I only had a few minutes but this leapt out of the racks into my sweaty hands and wanted to come home with me. 070
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Some car trouble today, which won't be fixed until Monday* unfortunately, so we had to spend some time in Brighton. And the only thing to do was go to some charity, record and book shops! *We aren't stuck in Brighton until Monday, we have made it back home! 080
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 03/10/2026He pointed me in the direction of that as well. He knows his stuff. 020
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Two nice albums in the charity shop next to the garage where our lovely car was passing it's MOT. A whole pound spent. 2140
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 02/10/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky All 4 albums in this series are fabulous and worth hunting for. 190
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 01/10/2026To celebrate the birth of the first CD player (see other post) these beauties popped through the letterbox earlier today. 060
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 29/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky As the nights grow longer the days, it feels like it's time for Tilt. 040
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 28/09/2026One of the best things about being able to rip my own blu-rays now is that I get to choose the artwork for each film. Don't judge me about the merit of the movies here, I'm ripping some very obvious one to check for picture and sound quality. So far so good. 150
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Jo took this at about 4.15 this morning. What a fantastic shot! 0140
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 27/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky A fantastic ramshackle Post-Punk finish to the weekend. Two four day weeks to come then a week off! I really can't wait. 1160
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 27/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky Still my favourite post-Beatles album from Macca. Poppy, silly, inventive, funny, and everything good about him in one handy package. 1160
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 27/09/2026#NowWatching Perhaps it's me getting old but I'm finding these a joy to watch. The early Carry On's are quite comforting especially after a bit of a crap week. 070
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 27/09/2026An excellent selection at the car boot this morning. And a copy of the disc from Beatles Anthology that I lost! 190
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #JazzSky Andy wrote so brilliantly about this album a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd better give it a spin. So £5 to Music Magpie and here we are. Incredible and stunning so far! Link in post underneath. 1110
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky This is a lovely sounding reissue that I picked up on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Very nice. 0130
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#NowPlaying The three albums Colin Blunstone made between 1971-1974 are up there with anybody. Ennismore just shades it as my favourite. 190
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky Some idiot obviously ripped the sticker off this back in the 80s when he bought it. He didn't know about the lighter fluid method like he does now. One of the best debuts, obvs. 080
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #ProgSky This is what days off are all about. A car boot, ripping DVDs and Blu-rays, reading a great book about Terrorism in the 70s and Egg on the Hifi. 1180
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 24/09/2026A few more Pelicans at the car boot. The HG Wells I've been after for a while. And few non-Pelicans as well. 040
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 23/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #JazzSky As a long-time Jazz refusnik and only really buying and listening to it over the last few years, hearing this for the first time was like being propelled into a new universe. Blimey, it's good! 2200
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I've just flashed the firmware on a Blu-ray drive, ripped a 4K Die Hard* and are now compressing the massive ripped file. Probably the most technical and nerve wracking thing I've done in years. *We always use Die Hard as our first disc. Ever since getting a free one with our first DVD player. 270
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 21/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky I'm only just catching up with the Tom Verlaine solo stuff. This is really rather good IMHO. 1100
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Anniversary present from Jo, the very first Pelican. I think old Bernie was a bit unreconstructed on the quiet. 060
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 21/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FallSky The second part of my Fall purchases from Sunday. Fiery and ramshackle. #PayYourRates 150
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 21/09/2026These two crazy people did this 38 years ago today! We agreed this morning if we were doing this today we would run off to Gretna Green! 9310
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 20/09/2026#NowPlaying #MusicSky #FallSky Sounding as scuzzy, exhilarating, and otherworldly as ever. As much folk-horror as rock and roll. 0110
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Car boot finds from earlier. The Fall albums were so cheap it would have been criminal to leave them behind, and they look in better nick than my copies from the time. Plus a John Fahey! 2190
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 20/09/2026At an Antique fair with a flask of tea. Because I object to paying £3 for a thimble of lukewarm almost tea served by someone who really doesn't want to be there. #Tightwad 120
Ian Purser @ip33.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Car boot! Much better this week than last week* *Couldn't be much worse! 030
