#5debutalbumsSF3 The Wedding Present - George Best (1987) Blisteringly paced debut with an iconic cover. Tales of unrequited love grumbled with affection by David Gedge. How they didn't grate their fingers down to bloody stumps with that playing style is beyond me. #NowPlaying #VinylCommunity

#5DebutAlbumsSF3 Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F# A# oo (1997) Stunning album, top 5 contender.

Your Much Needed Afternoon #TimelineCleanser ... Have fun at work, and if you can, make someone's day.

Been a big strong man and changed a tyre this afternoon, first time in about 30 years. It was a bit of a buggger, didn’t want to come off, but after pausing for a bit, watching a few YouTube videos, kicked it, wiggled it and it finally came off. Still need to take it to a garage for a proper tyre.

Ok folks. With The Odyssey wowing audiences, we've been compiling YOU'RE TOP FIVE films by Christopher Nolan. With our polls now closed, and all the votes counted and verified we're ready to share the result. So without further ado. Drum roll please... 🥁

A new record for Pips today: Pips #347 Easy 🟢 0:25 Pips #347 Medium 🟡 5:48 Pips #347 Hard 🔴 4:13 New record by a long way, and even quicker than today’s medium! Wordle 1,868 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Strands #880 “Summer sign” 🔵🔵🟡🔵 🔵🔵🔵 Found it harder than usual, got the wrong idea from the title.

#albumoftheday #5debutalbumsSF3 The Chameleons - Script Of The Bridge (1983) Twin chorus-pedalled chiming guitars were the USP for this great post punk band. A major label push could've given them stardom or, perhaps, destroyed them. Who knows? Best track - Don't Fall #NowPlaying️ #VinylCommunity
