Jumping on the My9Albums thing, but I’ve done my favourite LPs of 2026 thus far.

My headphones are buggered. I’ve opted for JBL in recent years; mainly because of price, sound quality and location (Argos is a mile up the road). This will be my 3rd pair in 3 years. That’s not a great track record, is it? Can anyone recommend any budget to mid price on-ear Bluetooth headphones?

I haven’t listened to this album in over 30 years. My teenage years were turbulent, but this LP struck a chord. Many positive school memories. So, how does it stand up now? Pretty good in fairness… even if it is probably the most AOR rock album in my collection!! #CountingCrows #GingesListeningPost

Glad I had a rummage in the HMV bargain bin. I scored Badfinger’s (official) debut album and Big Star’s second LP. I’m in power pop heaven! Happy Ginge. #Badfinger #BigStar #GingesListeningPost

I’m in Primark. It’s fucking Bedlam in here. I only have 6 Valium and 1 pregabalin. I hope I’ll be okay.

That incendiary performance of The Jim Jones Revue doing “High Horse” on The David Letterman Show. Rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t get better than this. youtu.be/jfD0Pfwl6Uo?...

Elastica are doing my head in. They keep saying the link is in the bio, but there is no link in the bio. I need a t-shirt!

Celebrating 11 years of marriage by spinning OUR album. So many happy memories. I ❤️ Mrs Ginge. “Two hearts are better than one…” #BruceSpringsteen #GingesListeningPost

Windswept selfie on 11 years of marriage. I don’t half love her.

Can’t believe she married me on World Mental Health Day.

I wish the King would pay £1.5m for repairs to my lodge. Wait, I haven’t got a lodge. Cash will do.

Well, last night was fantastic in my old local in Pencoed. Was an honour to be surrounded by all that Welsh punk rock royalty in one room. No photos as I was too busy enjoying myself.

Today has been filled with UFO hunters, Covid deniers, Roy “Chubby” Brown lovers, transphobes, meth addicts, and copious amounts of Valium. Will be nice to go to my old local tonight for some punk rock normality!

There’s some horsey looking fuckers at this tennis club. I don’t know whether to shout “hooray” or throw them an apple.

Been doing some training for work at the local tennis club for the last few days. No sign of Cliff.

Wishing Chris Spedding all the best in his fight against lymphoma.

Sometimes I’m a delicate flower. Feels like the life has been sucked out of me. Boys get sad, too. Even big ugly brutes like me need a cwtch.

Cracking little entry-level dub comp. All the big hitters are present. Only £13 from Juno. You’re welcome. #GingesListeningPost

Sometimes all I need is a Valium and some reggae. #BimSherman #GingesListeningPost

Bananarama are playing Cardiff Castle next summer. No Siobhan Fahey, no Ginge Knievil. Them’s the rules.

Yes, Shaky. It is.

I bet that Andy McConnell is a right horrible bastard. #AntiquesRoadshow

Ageless? Looks like he should be sat on a ventriloquist’s knee.

Pregabalin ⬆️ Diazepam ⬇️ Winning (sort of). It’s all drugs, innit.

I’ve had zero interest in these Cymru fixtures. Don’t even know what the Nations League is all about.

Just found a copy of “Today We Kill…” by The Peepshows and that’s within budget. What an album! Pure Scandi rock ‘n’ roll. That’ll do me.

I have £40 birthday money sat here and it’s burning a hole in my pocket. You’d think I’d be able to pick up a copy of “We Are Shampoo,” but can I fuck. Ridiculous.

Been pretty down today. Turns out that all I needed was a blast of heartland rock courtesy of John Cougar Mellencamp and his breakthrough USA album “American Fool.” That was £5 well spent. #JohnCougar #GingesListeningPost

I have an unofficial vinyl in-tray. How exciting is that? Oh, please yourselves.

Feel less rough today. Fuck me, those last two shifts were gruelling. The works’ polo shirts are light grey. I had under-moob sweat patches.
