@john-self.bsky.social’s brilliant review of Glenn Patterson’s latest in @thetimes.com did it for me…next up: The Northern Bank Job: The Heist & How They Got Away With It…📕📚

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Sometimes overlooked, but this is one of my favourite Paul McCartney albums…contains some real favourites: Fine Line, How Kind of You, A Certain Softness, as well as Jenny Wren, one of his best songs! Chaos & Creation in the Backyard #PaulMcCartney #NowPlaying

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

2/3 experience this unique atmosphere. It’s most categorically not just about the great food, live music & other events, which are always brilliant, but the wonderful mix of friendly & welcoming staff, volunteers & audience members.

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

1/3 This afternoon @soundloungecio.bsky.social was yet another opportunity to experience this very special venue & community resource in all its glory & this observation comes from someone who doesn’t even live within Sutton community, but willingly drives the c90 mile round trip to…

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Yet another top recommendation by @dannythechamp.bsky.social @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social …grabs you from the opening chords of Underneath My Bed! Wonderful musical arrangements, that sit perfectly with the songs…Gas 'n' Air by Balloon #NowPlaying @ianfromballoon.bsky.social

It’s a beautiful work of art in itself! I chose the handmade sketchbook with the OS map that shows the school where I was HT. Many thanks @dougshawart.bsky.social !

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right…it’s actually thrice! #Take3 seeing #ACompleteUnknown as it glides effortlessly into my all-time Top 10 fave films. Just can’t get enough of this superb movie!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎥🎬🍿🎤🎸…haven’t seen a film 3 x @ cinema since Saturday Night Fever! 🕺

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

All the (tired) horses couldn’t keep me away…#Take2 seeing #ACompleteUnknown …staggeringly brilliant performances by Chalamet, Norton & Barbaro!! Deserves to make a clean sweep at #TheOscars 🎬🍿🎥🎤🎸

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Brilliant Paul Weller feature in latest edition of Mojo Magazine - no issue with choice of his greatest song, but would place 'Down In The Tube Station At Midnight' just ahead of 'Going Underground' in that list! #TheJam #StyleCouncil #PaulWeller

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

Still reliving those O2 moments…Wings over America - #PaulMcCartney & #Wings 👌🎶

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

Having a sort out! Anyone still listening to Queen? I haven’t listened to these albums in years, but used to really enjoy them & can’t bring myself to part with them! Will it be ‘It’s A Kind of Magic’ or ‘Another One Bites the Dust’?! #Queen

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

There’s no way I was going to let today pass without spinning the wonderful new album by Ringo Starr …Look Up #NowPlaying #NewMusicFriday

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Just when I thought there was nothing out there to add to the Bob Dylan collection…there it was at @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social @soundloungecio.bsky.social

020

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Something for the David Bowie completists! @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social is the perfect name for this particular record store!! Thanks @dannythechamp.bsky.social !

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I can’t imagine it’s possible to find a more exquisitely curated record …#NowPlaying the truly stunning ‘Drink Ring Jesus’ by Stephen Simmons…the latest vinyl release by @unspunheroes.com

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

Heading to @lookingforthemagic.bsky.social !! #Sutton, with the appropriate soundtrack on repeat!✨🪄🎶

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

Ryley Walker on the turntable. Such a diverse artist. I’m missing quite a few, but have ‘Little Common Twist’ on order. Any further recommendations? 🙏

160

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

I’m not saying a ‘return to form’, (because I love just about everything he’s ever released!) but this is arguably Paul McCartney’s best album since Band on the Run…Flaming Pie (Special Edition) #NowPlaying #PaulMcCartney

010

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

Did a double-take when I heard that Ryley Walker will be performing a solo set at Lewes Con Club …ticket in hand & soundtrack sorted for the day!! Great work by Melting Vinyl, as always!

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Wonderful atmosphere in the shop today & everyday!!😀🎶 @unionmusicstore.bsky.social

The sun is always shining @unionmusicstore.bsky.social #Lewes …open 'till 4pm & there’s stacks of wonderful new arrivals in the racks!!⭐️🚀

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

Last week’s Paul McCartney concert has rarely left my thoughts - a rollercoaster of emotions, but it was 'Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight' that proved to be the absolute highlight for me & that sublime opening line: ‘‘Once there was a way to get back homeward’’

070

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Heading to see the greatest artist in the history of popular music…Bowie, Neil Young, Jagger, Springsteen, Elton John, Dylan et al. come close IMO, however…❤️

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Big CD cull today, to free up space for records!! …but I’m unable to part with my Bob Dylan CDs!!😎👌

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

It’s buzzing @unionmusicstore.bsky.social #Sutton & we’re excited to have 'The Madmen of Apocalypso', the latest album from Paul Molloy, in the racks!! @thecoral.bsky.social @dannythechamp.bsky.social

042

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

One Hand Clapping on the turntable…featuring Paul McCartney & Wings best post-Beatles singles in 'Jet' & 'Band on the Run' & so much more, including the phenomenal 'Maybe I’m Amazed' …some of McCartney’s best work with or without the Fab Four!

060

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

'Walls of Sound' @unionmusicstore.bsky.social in Lewes & Sutton!! There’s something for everyone!!👌❤️🎶

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Great haul from today’s visit to @unionmusicstore.bsky.social #Lewes…also picked up a retro-style rack from one of the many vintage shops in town, as I’ve somehow managed to run out of storage! 😎👌

051

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Latest addition to the 'Wall of Sound' @unionmusicstore.bsky.social #Lewes is the wonderful (signed!) 'The Madmen of Apocalypso' by @paul__molloy on @SpringHeeledRec … @thecoral.bsky.social

Trout Mask Replica : Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band…it’s even more off-kilter than I remember!! 😀

050

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Listening to the superb Come Ahead by Primal Scream …the Cambridge Audio preview, with Bobby Gillespie & producer David Holmes, was one of my favourite music moments of the year!

000

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Not sure which musical groove I’m currently in, but just replaced my copy of 'Trout Mask Replica' by Captain Beefheart, which followed my son to Uni back in the day! An acquired sound, I know, & I’m not sure what I will make of it all these years later! Thoughts?

010

Tim Smith @timsmith2024.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

With the Paul McCartney UK concerts fast approaching, I can already feel myself entering a Beatles/Wings/McCartney zone…the potential setlist is incredible & forms the soundtrack to our lives…now playing 'Revolver', my all-time favourite album #TheBeatles #Wings #PaulMcCartney

Superb evening of conversation & music @SoundloungeCIC.bsky.social with @paulsexton.bsky.social & @philmanzanera , focussed on Phil Manzanera's recently published memoir…looking forward to getting started on Revolución to Roxy!

Heading to @soundloungecio.bsky.social later for Phil Manzanera n conversation with @paulsexton.bsky.social about his memoir Revolución to Roxy…. & of course I’m taking my original 1972 copy of Roxy Music’s debut album for Phil Manzanera to sign!😎
