I’m after a new (old) car too, so watch me as I end up with a convertible now I’ve said that 😅😂 ✨

Watching Car SOS & I’m with Fuzz, I’d rather a tin top than a convertible. I just see a right royal pain in the bum longevity & care wise when I look at anything other than a hard top. I’m including a sun roof in with that too #fun 🤣😂 🚗 ✨✨✨

It’s true! No longer tho’ it went a few years back. It seems to have fallen out of favour. Nowadays you get people pushing silicone mould making material into things one would’ve previously placed paper & your choice of brass rubbing medium over, which I quite like the idea of too. 😄✨

Yeah, I heard Feb too, but if your friend received a despactch notice, who knows?! I think it’s interesting that there’s been pretty much no promo for 2yrs & it was pretty low key even then 😅✨

✨Ms.RetroSparklyKnickers✨ @msretroknickers.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It seems so odd that there’s been no promo or message or anything really in pretty much 2 years!! 😅 Saying that, I guess it’s pretty on brand re. Spiritualized & you know 8/10 times it will happen…eventually 😅🤞✨✨✨

The J Spaceman book, Junk, was s’posed be released Oct 1, but I’ve seen no promo. I tweeted the publishers last wk, who have a ‘live’ looking page on X & had no reply. Today I spotted that someone in one of the S3 groups bumped into J & asked him & J said, it is going to come out (yay!) next year 🤞✨

Fwiw, wearing undies has been my main going out outfit (at goth nights) so this is in no way a dig #GothLife #TOTP

✨Ms.RetroSparklyKnickers✨ @msretroknickers.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Maybe the record their original costume had been run up for dropped down mid week & they just thought, just pop to M&S undies, it's not like the dads are going to complain #TOTP

We reduced almost everything in our shop last Bandcamp Friday, and frankly haven't bothered to reset the prices, so feel free to buy!

Oh my goodness! That is good news!! Congratulations! 😄👏👏✨✨✨✨

Ah! This is great. Thanks ever so, I’ll have a read & a scroll, especially as it’s Bandcamp Friday tomorrow 😄✨✨

I do have an official (bought off their merch stall) JAMC tea towel, hung over a kitchen cupboard, so it’s basically a cloth, mini poster 😅✨

✨Ms.RetroSparklyKnickers✨ @msretroknickers.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
This is great news! 😄✨✨ Any you recommend? I’ve seen a couple of art based fanzines posted on Insta, mostly US based tho’ & they often say it’s not worth the hassle for them to post to the UK. Do you think Bandcamp would make the postage issue easier? I guess it’s different again for you. ✨

✨Ms.RetroSparklyKnickers✨ @msretroknickers.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
As in, just fanzines, not ones tied to a band page? If so, no I didn’t. This is good news, thanks for the heads up! ✨✨

✨Ms.RetroSparklyKnickers✨ @msretroknickers.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I’m now looking forward to the day when I get a Bandcamp email to say that you’ve just released an album with that title ✨🌙

I don’t really know very much about Leicester. I’ve only been there a couple of times. What’s it like? ✨

Oh wow! Maybe we crossed paths? I was in KH mid 90s-early 2000s ✨✨tho’ I’ve probs been to more gigs at H&H since moving away from there tho’. 😅✨

✨Ms.RetroSparklyKnickers✨ @msretroknickers.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
😅 Hehe! Aw! I loved the Jug, went to lots of fun nights & gigs there, but I’ve also been to some great gigs at the Hare. 😄✨✨

…& the position of that sign creates extra free publicity for the show 🙌✨

I’m guessing your friend’s road kept having to repair or replace its sign too..

There used to be a brass rubbing centre in the town where I grew up. More than once it made an appearance on, That’s Life when the letters, B & R ‘fell off’ the signage. 😮🤭✨

Remembering Trish Keenan, on what would’ve been her birthday. I first saw Broadcast, Oct ‘96 at The Jug of Ale, Brum & I just adored them! ✨🌟✨ Broadcast -Where Youth & Laughter Go youtu.be/m5uAJz4qbLU?...

How fab! Oh gosh! I love those Sea Urchins covers! 😻✨✨ One of my best friends used to live with a couple of them, but that was before I knew them. But I guess if you’re a little bit indie & a little bit 60s in Brum, the likelihood of such things occurring must be pretty big 😅🤣✨

Oh wow! Was it a workshop? How great to make your en glasses! 😄👏👏✨✨ They look really nice as well! ✨
