If you do nothing else today, listen to this slice of screwy c.1961 genius and feel joy returning. What a vocal! Yochanan claimed to have been born on the sun, and I believe him. youtu.be/8NxX-qMG13k?...

Happy St @bandcamp.com’s day! Please buy something if you feel like it, I’ll send one that I didn’t just prop up in the undergrowth. dimorphodons.bandcamp.com/album/waui

RIP, the great Roy Phillips. I posted this clip on FB yesterday and it's cued yet another period of obsessing about The Peddlers, who fitted nowhere yet everywhere. What a voice. What superb Hammond playing. What everything. youtu.be/2gOLkwj-zVI?...

I was thinking about this terrific live-in-the-studio clip earlier on, and how I'd never even noticed that there's no bass in Whiskey In The Jar before I first saw this about six years ago. It's never too late to have your ears syringed. youtu.be/UviREczpKwE?...

Holy hell. So it's half a century since the 13-year-old me edged apologetically into the original Virgin store in Glasgow and bought this. The kindly hippy behind the counter threw a handful of Kevin Coyne beermats into the record bag, so it's his fault that I turned to drink

Decided to give away this entire pile of my 2022 book Notebook for the price of postage today. If you can pay more, great. If not, no problem. Pop a reply below if you'd like one. It's a short, silly book, but sometimes a bit serious, too, and people tell me it's a good easy gateway to my writing.

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money. I was 11 years old, and Disraeli Gears was already five years old. I liked bright colours and gimmicks at that age: next was Stand Up by Jethro Tull, and then Led Zeppelin III.

A very happy 77th birthday to Christian Vander. Whenever I feel like succumbing to abject despair, which is kind of a default tendency these days, I think about the miracle of Magma ever even existing, and that reminds me that we actually live in a world of wonders despite bloody everything.

I also got belted for swearing after a 90mph 'softball' hit me square in the scones. I presumably yelled 'fuck!' as I went down, but I don't know because I was preoccupied with softly weeping and doing a small sick. - PE teacher: DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY ROSSI - Me: Wha Outcome: Six of the belt

Marco Rossi @marcorossia6.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

I got belted for not kicking no boy. - Mr Berry, the only teacher unilaterally feared at our school: WHY DID YOU KICK THAT BOY - Me (not unreasonably): What boy - Mr Berry, clutching his temples: YOU'RE ONLY MAKING IT WORSE The day's other miscreants got two of the belt, but I got six. Go me.

Peter Whitehead's little-seen promo film for the Immediate label is a fascinating curio: SO 1966 that it might as well have been found in a bush behind the Jules Rimet trophy by Pickles the dog. youtu.be/ogQMd4jQyAU?...

Happy 32nd birthday to this, which I remember thinking at the time was the most commendably, insanely concentrated splat of every great pop idea at once. 'The Ghost At Number One' would have been a No.1 in a world where SMiLE was actually released in 1967: and 'Russian Hill' is uncannily beautiful.

Fantastic writing, as always: and, also as always, I nodded in agreement so often and so vigorously that the top of my head nearly slid off, like the cover of Jamming With Edward.

My 'reach' on here is nonexistent, but I was chatting with a pal last night about our favourite band cameos in 60s/70s films and TV shows, and was just wondering if anyone else had any faves/suggestions?

I’ve added four more drawings to my website, gooduns. The heart is a detail, I was concerned that the full image would get me partially censored and mean fewer people would see or be interested in the post. Full image is on my site, obvs. Buying art is good! www.chloecumming.com

Drawing of a grey hare, sideways, delicate mesh of pastel and graphite, wobbly forms

Jester and Minotaur, jester is red and yellow, Minotaur large and grey, jester Timothy Claypole esque, picture is a simple vision, colourful

Drawing of two cone, a lot of hatching in dark red ink, light blue in sky

Closeup of heart, not the whole image. A big balloont crimson drawn heart with interesting scratches.
