This came through the door earlier. Now I can’t stop wondering whether the proofreader is going down or up in week 4…

Richard E Grant to Rob Beckett: “do you have more teeth than a normal human”. Completely without malice and delivered in a way that only he could, it was one of the funniest lines I’ve heard on TV this year. Even if he gets voted out, please let him stay 😬

I know I’m old enough to be her dad, but I’m a little bit in love with Maya Jama. She’s adorable 😍

Greetings you groovy Bluesky smashers! Hopefully I’ll be getting things off the ground in the next week or 2, but here’s the new logo for my new music related Instagram (YouTube to follow) channel. Thoughts?

Sadly, after 12yrs of The Acoustic Egg Box Albums Of The Year blogs, WordPress costs mean my 2025 edition was the last in that format. However, youll be horrified to hear that in future I'll be posting filmed reviews/recommendations etc on Instagram & eventually YouTube. WTF as the kidz say!

It’s a little known fact that the Argentinian President, Javier Milei, once fronted the chart topping UK band, Mungo Jerry

Good on Paul Weller for doing this. Trying to help rebuild healthcare for innocent people and - judging by social media comments - flushing out more thickos from his audience. Win-win. ✊🏽 🇵🇸

Spent an enjoyable evening at the inaugural Electric Summer gig in Taunton’s Vivary Park. Last on was organiser & long term town resident, Howard Jones. I’m an 80s pop kid at heart, & it’s easy to forget that at one point our Howard was selling squillions of records worldwide. Proper fun!

Happy soulful Sunday everyone! The few of u who follow my ramblings know I’m a big fan of St Paul & The Broken Bones. For me their new 45 Loving Wrong is one of the best things they’ve done. If you love your bluesy southern soul thisll be right up your Cahaba! Sensational 😍 youtu.be/AVeLGKzQuJ0?...

Couldn’t love this young lady more! Acoustic Egg Box single of the year in 2024, top 10 album last year, and a string of brilliant new singles so far this year. New one is pure Motown vibes. Can’t wait to see you in Bristol in October 👌 @brookecombe.bsky.social youtu.be/IVZaafsYSbE?...

If you have a physical music collection, just go fishing through it once in a while. Have a big ol' rummage, get all your CDs, tapes, vinyl, whatever, out on the floor and just look through em. Bang a few on, read some liner notes, it's just magic, honestly.

I try not to do negative on here but Ive just had the misfortune to hear Reality Awaits, the new autotuned to within an inch of its life Strokes LP Maybe its meant to be embracing something new (Im not sure what mind) but to these bleeding ears it fails miserably Muse fans might like it though

Still so many players to come back. Very excited for the new season. Too early to say we could challenge but I think we’ll be there or thereabouts #manutd

It’ll take some doing to come up with a better opening line to an album this year than “I Owe A Lot To A Dead Man’s Cock”! Robyn Hitchcock take a bow. His album, The Confuser, is a late career work of surreal brilliance

Infinity Baby, he 2nd LP from Australias Baby Cool is a gently shimmering sunny psych treat. For fans of Jessica Pratt, Beach House, Mazzy Star, Broadcast, 60s pastoral psychedelia and lazy Sunday afternoons. An unexpected gem 😍

Had a good listen to the Stones latest, Foreign Tongues whilst out running this morning. Wow! There’s no way a bunch of octogenarian musicians should be writing and releasing music this good. It’s rock n roll baby! And despite it getting panned in some quarters, I really like the album cover too

That was a masterclass from Spain. I couldn’t see France losing a game but they’ve been made to look very ordinary here. As much as Cucurella annoys the tits off me, he’s been world class tonight
