Vinyl collector - especially 7” singles. International Triratna Buddhist. Seem to have developed a thing for vintage paperbacks. I used to date the Rokeby Venus.
Delighted to learn Mark Fry will be performing the ‘Dreaming with Alice’ album live in October. I’ve been lucky enough to see him twice, and will do my best to get to London for it. Anyway, here’s a bunch of hippy trippy stuff I’m taking back with me today. I’ve posted it all before, but who cares?
To celebrate International Cat Day the neighbours’ new kitten has come to see me
Hey #WeekendSingles folk, I’m actually with my records today and I’ve picked out some 12”s - many of which I’ve posted over the years, but a few I think not (have we had a KISS 12” before?) The Butthole Surfers is revenge against folk who tag me in whenever someone posts Rattlesnakes.
Treating myself to a pint while an estate agent finally (after 6 months on the market) shows a prospective purchaser my house. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Thought I was flying back to London City but it turned out I was booked on Heathrow flight - which left 5 minutes earlier. The options narrowed markedly when Easijet cancelled a Gatwick flight at the last minute, so I bought a new ticket for 6.00am and will have to overnight in the airport. 🤦🏻♂️
“Record experience” offered by a hotel in France. Is this your new business @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social ? #WeekendSingles
Early start for me (plus I’m an hour ahead) as I’m heading back to Blighty. Here’s some I’ve posted before, although not in this precise combination. #WeekendSingles
Guten morgen from a schloss 60km north of Berlin. I took these pics before setting off on my travels nearly two weeks ago, but I was in a field last weekend. Another interesting and unusual bunch from the Joel boxes, I hope you’ll agree. #WeekendSingles #SinglesAmWochenende
My five best sunset photos from Buddhafield festival
Here’s my sign off from #WeekendSingles for this week - simply because I came across it for the first time today, it’s quite pretty, and it has an unusually stiff card sleeve. I’m travelling again for the next month or so, but sadly not in a way that will allow for crate digging.
What is it with you #WeekendSingles people and your insatiable urge for ever more pictures of records? Oh already, here’s some Beatles and their penumbra, mostly from the States. Giorgio and Donald, some continental sleeves, and who knew 2-4-6-8 Motorway had been rereleased a decade later?
Lovely early evening swim at Birling Gap/ Seven Sisters
Oh man! I just got home and the last person to stay here turned off my fridge and freezer 🤢
More rummaging in the Joel Boxes delivers this #WeekendSingles 16. Yes, somebody thought it would be a good idea to laminate that George Harrison sleeve, St George’s Hall used to be filthy, and that Laurie promo is gorgeous. And what has a blank clock face got to do with the body in question?
Grifters, believers, the anxious and the parochial - private presses cater to them all, and to many more. Some #WeekendSingle esoteric from the Joel boxes. @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social
Motor City madness for #WeekendSingles today. Reminds me of Tony Soulprano from when we were in the other place, famous for ironing his record sleeves and sharing his musical choices with a large swathe of the Cotswolds.
Good morning. Readers of @nickharkaway.com might appreciate why it’s always pleasing to me to live somewhere that has a gnomon
Solstice greetings #WeekendSingles & #VinylSky folk A few new acquisitions and a few finds from a deeper dig in the car full of boxes from Joel @brighterdayvinyl.bsky.social Looked everywhere in the States for a copy of Dirty Water, had to get one from EBay on my return.
