The fabulous 2007 compilation double album ‘Fairy Cakes For Tea - Fairytales Can Come True Volume 2’ is #nowplaying. Described on the sleeve as “20 previously uncomped popsike gems 1966-71”. #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky #NowSpinning

Player of #vinylrecords, watcher of old #films and #television, reader of #books, taker of #photographs, drinker of #coffee, builder of #Lego, walker of #beaches, and lover of the niche, arcane curios of yesteryear. Can be recycled at a large supermarket.
This was an expensive purchase, but I decided to treat myself. The recently reissue of ‘Synthesizing - Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat’ by Charanjit Singh has arrived at the Vinyl Constituency. #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky
#NowSpinning a rather nice 2025 #synthpop compilation double album - ‘Synthwave Ride’, featuring various artists, including Kavinsky, Giorgio Moroder, and VHS Dreams. #NowPlaying #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky #SynthWave #Electro
To cheer myself up, I recently treated myself to a haul of #records. For those interested, here is that haul!👇 A stack of six production library album reissues (De Wolfe and Rouge), along with the ‘Harumi’ reissue, and the #soundtrack for ‘Puppet On A Chain’! #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky
We recently celebrated our 33rd anniversary of transitioning our status from friends who hung out a lot to one of consciously coupling. In less Paltrow terms, we’ve been together for 33 years. The restaurant was nice, the food was great, and the company was entertaining.
I’ve just bought this great book, guaranteed to stir the nostalgia pot, from Trunk: ‘Fancy An Ice Cream - A Collection of Vintage Ice Lolly Wrappers’.👇 trunkrecords.greedbag.com/buy/zcuxow/
It’s so perpetually tedious that, wherever you go in life, there’s *ALWAYS* somebody waiting to smugly draw attention to your silly mistakes - usually for no other reason than the need to be superior. I see you. And those who applaud you.
I’m about to start watching an 80 minute documentary about the #Titanic. If I take a shot of brandy each time a supposed photo of Titanic is actually a photo of its older sister ship Olympic, what time will I be admitted to A+E?
I have some very nice early 80s #synthpop on the record player this evening. The 1980 eponymous debut album by Visage is #NowPlaying. 🙂 As you can see, this is my Japanese pressing. #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky #NowSpinning
Today my copy of @arrowvideo.bsky.social’s ultra HD release of 1973 dystopian thriller ‘Soylent Green’ arrived! I have been looking forward to this! That said, I will have to ‘Make Room! Make Room!’ on the shelves. See what I did there?😀👇 www.arrowfilms.com/p/4k/soylent... #FilmSky
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.
🎶 “And bad mistakes, I've made a few I've had my share of sand kicked in my face But I've come through” 🎶 Queen’s 1977 album ‘News of the World’ is #nowplaying. This is my beautiful mint condition Japanese press. ♥️ #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky #Queen
Slowly but surely, normal service is resuming at The Vinyl Constituency! I have a haul of records! 🎉🥳🍻🙌 I’m looking forward to sharing with you what’s been bought once they are unboxed, in sleeves, and catalogued. Assuming they haven’t been abused by the Royal Fail. 😬🤷🏻♂️ #VinylSky #VinylRecords
When I’m not rearranging records, Lin has me tidying up her gin collection. She’s slowly but surely scaling it back, and now down to circa 76 bottles. I think it’s looking great, but, if there’s ever a fire in the house, this room’s going to go Tsar Bomba. 😬 #gincollection #gin
When the weather is like this, I could sit in my garden perpetually. The gentle psithurism, the bird song, the bees and the butterflies … it’s super therapeutic and helping me on the long road back to workable health. I know exactly how lucky I am and never take this for granted.
Somebody in my home town has selflessly used their beverage to indulge their passion for street art, painstakingly bringing to life this gorgeous, ultra-realistic pair of every day scissors. This is *REAL* contribution to the community, and I couldn’t be prouder. 😀 #streetart #pavementart #proud
Half time at the #WorldCupFinal is the closest I’ve ever been to throwing up my own feet and legs. #WorldCup #WorldCup2026 #SpaArg
Am I in some sort of fever dream? #WorldCup #WorldCup2026 #SpaArg
After a day of gallivanting around and intense sniffery, Hazel Dog is cream crackered. 🥱😴💤 #poodle #poodles #toypoodle #toypoodles #dogsky #dogsofbluesky
We all have music in common - that’s the strand that binds, and what a strand it is! But we all understand that we have our own unique tastes, right? And we all understand it’s not a personal attack if I don’t like a song you like, and there’s no contractual obligation to respond negatively, yes?
‘The Voice’ by John Farnham. Is there a way I can directly and repeatedly punch my own cerebellum?
I’ve just sat down in my back garden to try and enjoy a little bit of peace and quiet, but the hot-pool-owning throbber three doors down has decided that the whole street wants to hear his beige generic dad-rock playlist. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m getting totally hammered by auto-follows and bots. Brutal.
YouTube is now awash with utterly appalling #ABBA AI “songs”. Any that I’ve dipped into have been dismal at best, but a special shoutout has to go to the ludicrous ‘Take the Allen Key and Go’. I kid you not.
Hazel is keeping lookout and absolutely ITCHING to make a citizens arrest. 🐩🐾 #poodle #poodles #toypoodle #toypoodles #dogsky #dogsofbluesky
Time for a late evening with a (decaf) coffee and The Wombles. Their 1973 album ‘Wombling Songs’ is #nowplaying. #VinylRecords #VinylSky #MusicSky
I am thrilled to see Oliver Cherer partner again @claypipemusic.bsky.social. ‘Furlongs’ by Gilroy Mere is up for preorder on July 10th, with a release date of August 4th. Details here plus a listening party on July 8th! 😀❤️👏👇 www.claypipemusic.co.uk?m=1 #musicsky #claypiperecords #folkmusic
Great news from #HammerFilms! Val Guest’s 1957 fantasy-horror film ‘The Abominable Snowman’ is receiving a 4K release in a lovely limited edition box. Written by Nigel Kneale, and starring Forrest Tucker and Peter Cushing, it’s one of my favourite Hammer films!👇 hammerfilms.com/products/the...
Meg clocked me trying to sneak from the snug to the kitchen and decided to come half way down the stairs and be super cute in exchange for ear and back rubs! 😀❤️ #poodle #toypoodle #dogs
