Should really catch myself on.
From 16 magazine, Sept 1966, conveniently published on my 16th birthday.
Just catching up with bits of past shows. This is an inspired choice. Thanks to an older cousin I was an Alice Cooper fan at primary school when the other kids were listening to the likes of Paper Lace.
It would be a warm launderette.
And to end ...some Weekend. From the Digging Your Scene box. Weekend Stroll. Now on the MB Record Show. Have a nice Weekend. And that's the Week Ended. For me anyway. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
There's warm, and there's warm because you're sitting in front of a tumble dryer. Tyler Ballgame, enjoying a quiet moment. New single, Live It Down, is now on the MB Record Show. Nothing radical but its greatness. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Why, it's Edward Ball. Looking good. The Mill Hill Self Hate Club is on the MB Record Show. I was going to play one of the versions on the 'I Helped Edward Ball Escape' LP. But I realised Ed's original single hadn't yet been played on the show. Cart before horse, etc. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
It's Josie, from Copenhagen. Not fans of contrast, no. Their top new single 'Oh Boy!' returns to the MB Record Show. All three minutes, this time. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
OK, there may have been a bit of airbrushing on this. Or hairbrushing. Or maybe The Housemartins were just really young. Today is Norman Cook's birthday. Although I think he knew every day was his birthday then. The People Who Grinned Themselves To Death on the MBRS buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
A long time ago, a band called Juno made a record. Battle Royale it was called. And it's still called that, as it's released finally by Last Night From Glasgow. As heard on the MB Record Show, now-ish. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
You can only imagine how loud this photo is. Nirvana, around the time of Bleach. About A Girl is on the MB Record Show. Where you can make it less loud, if you need to. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
From the new box set, A Strange Light From The East. Coming out in three weeks. Nice to see this on it, for casual Nirvana fans like me. Love Buzz on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
It's Peer Pleasure, coming out to see who's causing the bother. New record 'Meat Inside' is great. It is about six minutes long, but then there's nine in the band so you don't want to leave anybody out. Now on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
When The Ramones made it big, they each got their own seat on the subway. God bless Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee and Tommy. God bless Bob Gruen who had his camera with him. Rockaway Beach now on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
It's Fizzbombs!! Their EP of a Janice Long session is available for you to rent or own. Thanks to Precious Recordings Of London. There's somewhere you could click, I am sure. Blue Summer now on the MBRS. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
More Edinburgh art..... It's the song, rather than the band. 'Edinburgh' by Middle Class Guilt, from the collection 'Their King Of Comedy'. One of those bands that you suspect will not win a Grammy. Making great records is the thing. Edinburgh on the MBRS now. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Josef K arrived by train. Could be the start of a Kafka short story, where JK gets done for not having the correct ticket. To mark Malcolm Ross's birthday, the brilliant 'It's Kinda Funny' is on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Ah, god bless him. And god bless Guitar World, where this appears. Happy, from Exile On Main Street, now on the MB Record Show. Another song where Keith didn't bother to ring Bill Wyman. Quicker to do the bass while you're at it. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Sorry, I couldn't resist playing Rain On My Face, once I heard Foglight's The Rain Felt Kind. Shapes And Sizes, of whom I know little or nothing, now on the MBRS. Apart from their appearance on The Girls Scene CD of a while back. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Its a Cord and a Stone Anthem. So, yes, of course it's great. The title alone would make it great. 'The Rain Felt Kind'. Now on the Late Show/MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
You didn't know you wanted a box set of The Riot Squad until you heard 'I Wanna Talk About My Baby' on the MB Record Show, isn't that right? Stick with that story, and you'll be grand. The front cover contains Mitch Mitchell looking smug. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Some top cutting out going on here. Always worth paying extra for really good scissors. The wonderful LP from Jim Blaha, using the not at all awkward nom de pop 'I Will Die In This Jean Jacket'. Some New Day on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
And happy birthday to Malcolm Ross. Seen here in his Orange Juice days. Which were, I think, halcyon. Although I wasn't there. I Can't Help Myself , the OJ smash, now on the MBRS buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Isn't this one of the great pubilicity photos ever? Everything But The Girl. Not the photo which goes with the record now on the MBRS. It's Each And Every One, from the Digging Your Scene Box Set. But it's still a great photo. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
Good news, pop fans! New single from Savage Hearts. Dead Letters. Sounds abounds on it. Every one home grown. Now on the MB Record Show. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
He must have hundreds of records. Norman Cook, I mean. His birthday is today. A top man, by all accounts. The Rockafeller Skank, made by his cousin Fatboy Slim, is on the MB Record Show. A marvellous construction. buff.ly/2lQ2pGn
