Today's random Discogs choice The Last Dinner Party and From The Pyre Rough Trade AOTM Oct2025. Their 2nd album, which is not as good as the first. Starts strong then Peter's out for me. Favourite track Second Best.

Today's random Discogs choice Daniel Blumberg and Minus Rough Trade AOTM May2018. A slow, delicate, sometimes experimental free form chaos alternative album. It's not challenging but its very different and thats its strength. Favourite track Used To Be Older

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Joni Mitchell and Clouds 1969. Very lovely UK 1st press. Two big hitters on here are Chelsea Morning and Both Sides Now (a big favourite of mine, even if on occasion it makes me cry). Favourite track I Don't Know Where I Stand.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Cocteau Twins and Singles Collection CD single box set 1991. This was my Christmas present in '91 from my family. A lovely rare item from one of my favourite bands. Nine eps and a 4 track rare tracks disc. Fabulous item.

Today's random Discogs choice Wings and Wild Life 1971. Very lucky to have a 1st press of this, and its in superb condition. If you've never heard this I would recommend a listen. It's really good, a firm favourite in the McCartney canon. Favourite track Dear Friend.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice OST La Haine CD 1995. An excellent French film with a really good French Hip Hop/Rap soundtrack. Very easy to listen to, even for a non French speaker. Favourite track Iam & Daddy Nutta and La 25eme Image.

001

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Beastie Boys and Paul's Boutique 2019 reissue. Their second album and a vastly different sound to their first. Made them one of the coolest bands on the planet. Favourite track Shake Your Rump.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Me, Claudius and Good Diz, Bad Bird cassette 2018. Very, very experimental, drone, field recording in style. Not for everyone I feel. It's interesting, but deeply artistic shall we say.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Two weeks running the Red Roses have had two incredibly tough games of rugby, they drew against Canada and have narrowly beaten New Zealand at the death. Competitive, fast flowing and brilliant fun to watch.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice The Ting Tings and That's Not My Name/Great DJ 7" 2007. Hard to believe, but I did buy this back when the song came out. Fabulous pop song and backed by an even better track. Worth a lot more than I originally paid for it.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Henri Texier and Varech 2018 reissue. Yet another killer jazz album (two days running). Very easy on the ear, perfect for my jazz tastes. Recommended. Favourite track Les "Là-Bas".

010

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Manhunku Quartet and Yakhal' Inkomo 2021 reissue. This is a really good jazz album. Recorded live and honestly, it's like sitting in a bar listening to the band jam away. Mine's an Old Fashioned please. Favourite track Yakhal' Inkomo.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Twilight Sequence and Looking At Lifeforms Castles In Space subscription library 7" 2022. Comes with a little picture booklet, only two tracks but the bandcamp download has four tracks. Experimental electronica. Favourite songs Looking At Lifeforms.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Sault and 10 2025. For me this is perhaps their weakest album. It's still very good soul music, but just doesn't hit the heights of their previous releases. Favourite track R.L.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Savages and Silence Yourself Rough Trade AOTM May2023. Love this band. I like a little post punk goth now and then, and an all female band too. Favourite track Husbands.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice B.A. Robertson and Bang Bang 7" 1979. I was nine when I bought this, NINE! I still love the song. Reminds of the local disco, we took our own records down to the community hall and a had a dance. Simpler times, but good fun.

011

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Hannah Peel and Mary Casio: Journey Today's Cassiopeia 2017. A fabulous contemporary classical piece. A firm favourite of mine. Favourite track Sunrise Through The Dusty Nebula.

I watched this... it was OK It was a very watchable film. It was funny and pleasent. I didn't think it was outstanding, it was just as I said 'watchable'.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Pyramid Eyes and Awake In Deep Time Castles In Space subscription library 2026. More excellent electronica from CIS. Such a great little label for many an independent artist. Favourite track Poly.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Field Lines Cartographer and Moonbuilding Sessions Castles In Space subscription library 2023. Recorded live and a sub 40 minute electronic piece. A cracking listen.

010

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I watched this... so you dont have to. So, I enjoyed the film version and series 1 was a good laugh. This series lacks any of the Guy Richie humour he brings to his awful violent criminals. Long winded and I found it quite dull.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Souls Of Mischief and There Is Only Now CD 2014. Rap isn't really my thing (part of a Rough Trade AOTM). I turned this off. It's quite clearly not my style, some rap and hip hop I quite enjoy, but I found this difficult to listen to.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I watched this... I recommend you do to. Go in blind, don't read anything about it. It'll surprise you. All I knew was that two guys kidnap a businesswoman believing she's an alien. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice The Paris Sisters and Dream Lover 7" 1964. Some fabulous 60s dreamy pop vocal. A cover of Bobby Darin's song and a cracking b-side Lonely Girl. Both tracks are on YouTube, well worth a quick listen.

010

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice B. Lance and Rollin' Man 1972. Old Bob here only made two albums, both of which are good fun listens. This is his second, which has a west coast, country rock vibe. Favourite track You Got To Rock Your Own.

#nowplaying Bloc Party - Anatomy Of A Brief Romance Hmm... its OK. Bang average for me. Personally they'll never better Silent Alarm. There's some nice tracks but just doesn't hit the mark (personal opinion, yours may differ).

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Temples and Live In Japan EP CD 2014. Got this free with their debut album Sun Structures (excellent album). Four tracks of fun psychedelic rock. Favourite track Keep In The Dark.

If you're in or around Norwich at any time and need incredible food, I would very highly recommend eating here. A beautiful pub, fantastic food, I had the duck as my main, and pistachio tart for pudding. We were never rushed, staff were great. Wonderful! kingsheadbawburgh.co.uk

Today's random Discogs choice Audio Obscura and Nineteen Eighty Four cassette 2019. An edition of 84 cassettes, an imagined soundtrack for George Orwell's novel. Comes with a page from the book with a drawing. Nice thing, no favourite track as its a whole piece.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Ultravox and Vienna 1980. I have to give my sister credit here, this is her LP. There are some who don't like the Midge Ure era of Ultravox but I think they're great. And this LP is fabulous. Favourite track Sleepwalk.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice The Dudley Moore Trio and The Other Side Of... 1965. Found this gem of an album dirt cheap in a chazzer, and its in great nick. Very cool piano jazz, a great listen. Favourite track Autumn Leaves.

As content creators go, I think this young lady has smashed the ball out the park. The Hula-Hoop salad may very well be the best thing ever!

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Pet Shop Boys and Alternative CD 1995. A double disc chock full of fabulous b-sides. What a joyous thing, a Pet Shop Boy b-side is a thing of beauty. A few favs, Paninaro, Losing My Mind, Music For Boys and the mighty Euroboy.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice East India Youth and 20000 Leagues Under The Sea 2014. Came free with his album Total Strife Forever. It's a soundtrack to the 1916 silent film that he performed at Bestival 2013. It's really very good, its an electronic piece.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Hank Mizell and Jungle Rock 7" 1976. This 7" has the honour of being the 1st record I ever brought. I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time, I think I got it as I was drawn to the Charly record label. Cracking song.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Correlations and Mayan God's cassette 2020. I have a few pieces by Correlations now and I really like them, ambient, electronic, very cool. It's nice to have a cassette that well over an hour long too, 44:44 minutes per side. Lovely stuff.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Barbra Streisand and Guilty 1980. One of those albums my parents owned back in the day. I'm not ashamed to admit I love this album. Barry Gibb wrote great songs for Barbra. Hard to pick a favourite but I'm going for Life Story today.

040

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Alice Coltrane and Ptah, The El Daoud 2022 reissue. Of the four tracks on here, there are only two that I reallly enjoy, I find that the other two are to 'Jazzy' for my taste. So Turiya And Ramakrishna and Blue Nile I absolutely love.

010

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Matthew E White & Flo Morrissey and Gentlewoman, Ruby Man CD 2017. What a gem this is. All cover versions, some songs I knew, lots were new to me. Fabulous version of Grease on here. Favourite track Looking For You (by Nino Ferrer).

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Sunflower Bean and Twentytwo In Blue 2018. I won this in a random Rough Trade Club comp. It comes with a hand drawn inner by the band, its signed on the other side. Album is average indie pop, its OK. Favourite track Twentytwo.

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Today's random Discogs choice Arca and Zen CD 2014. Right, this is described as deconstructed club, glitch pop (?), experimental and avant-garde to name a few on Discogs. What I can tell you is that I do not like it. I don't even like the cover art.

000

Jo Broom @jojobroom.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

If you're a fan of just good Indie music, I would highly recommend you give the new Yard Act album a listen. Good band actually, I've enjoyed all their albums. 👍 youtube.com/watch?v=FEjx...

Today's random Discogs choice Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan (phew) and Your Community Hub 2024. This is excellent electronica for fans of that genre. All eight tracks work so well together. Favourite track The Town Of Tomorrow.
