What painting, photograph, sculpture, or piece of visual art has stayed with you long after you first saw it? Not necessarily your favourite. The one that lingered. Antony Gormley: Sound II

Currently reading this. I think you chaps might enjoy it although it’s a bit of a tome.

I keep telling @nmtdrzine.bsky.social she’s shorter than me. At M C Escher at Somerset House.

We think this is Dad on his 21st birthday (1945).

I generally avoid Faffbook these days for the same reason as every other sane person but sometimes the Memories section is interesting. Apparently it’s 10 years since I switched to DE Safety Razor shaving from the multiblade cartridges. I’d never go back.

Spiritual ambient guitar inspired by Austin Osman Spare. Now playing: Chance Encounters in the Garden of Lights - Bill Nelson.

I’ve always liked Eris (Hail Eris! Hail Discordia!). In fact when I was invited to a Gods and Goddesses party there was only one choice.

Thanks @dancingmonk.bsky.social for inspiring me to buy this.

Remember the Monster Raving Looney Party policies looked silly at first but a surprising number of them became laws.

I’m going to be in Central London in a suit and tie all day.

Now Playing: Inspired by the chat on here this morning.

Alan Moore making his point clear in the dedication at the beginning of I Hear A New World.

We didn’t torch Bradford before we left, honest @breakfastruins.bsky.social

Bradford we are in you. See you later @breakfastruins.bsky.social

If you see me say hello :-)

Managed to see my current favourite band Causa Sui at their first ever UK gig at the Eiectric Ballroom as part of Desertfest.

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the death of the artist and magician Austin Osman Spare.

I played Car Wars at the weekend. It’s good these eighties Pocket Box games are still relevant

I had Naim for 20 years but I got so far up the ladder that it just sounded too big for a room and I fancied a change so I went to a tube amp and half size components in the form of a Luxman D-N150 & SQ-N150. I love the looks & sound.

Cherise with the Denys Baptiste Quartet at Pizza Express Soho. Great gig finishing with, of course, My Funny Valentine.

Not bad seats for tonight #FrontRow

Valentines trip to Soho. The Coach and Horses is full so on to The Ship rock pub. Sadly their music system is badgered and not drowning out the American tourists.

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

My place in the Blue Sky universe.

Happy 75th birthday to the wonderful Phil Manzanera. Now playing my favourite Roxy album, actually one of my all time favourite albums. Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure.
