10/10.

A real shame, a musical education for generations of Leithers. Bought and sold countless records there. That wee row of shops was perfect if you were skint, flog a few cds, nip next door to the newsagents for 10 fags then Greggs for a sausage roll and a donut

Stay toastie and be top boy on the terraces with these Cosy-Casz™ winter trabs

The world's first, and only, Hells Angel-Beatnik-Mod on Charing Cross Road, @ 1963

He's admirably nonchalant, reminds me of the title of 90s vampire spoof 'Dracula: Dead And Loving It'

WHERE'S YOUR POPPIES?

Today's teatime tunes: a winning mix of psychedelia and proto-power-pop (is that a thing?) from Australia. Adelaide, in fact, my favourite Ozzie city, because it was my granny's name. Written in 1970 by the guitarist, Rick Springfield, before he left for the US, fame, and fortune.

You see Manchester United on #motd and you're thinking who are these people? I've never heard of them. Where did they come from? What have they done to deserve a game for one of the biggest clubs in the world?

Young, soon to be deaf, Who fan at a concert in Malmö, 1966.

Yeest Infektion are my new favourite band 🧛 🦇 ⚰️

Google has taken the jeopardy out of Antiques Roadshow. The greedy bastards know, down to the last penny.

Phil Daniels is 68 (SIXTY EIGHT) today. JIMMY COOPER IS 68. Anyway, here's the worst item of clothing ever made. A fishtail hoodie. Be a Face at Brighton, yours for a mere £148.

Hippie firemen

Manchester City should be fined, relegated and stripped of their titles unless Donnarumma shaves it off on live TV

Gysin and Burroughs revving up some more reveries in the dream-machine

If you were in Stratford-upon-Avon in the late 60s and couldn't find your hotel/the RSC/Anne Hathaway's Cottage, you could flag down a trusty Texaco Tourist Pilot, pop on the back of their Primavera and be whisked off, free of charge, to your desired location.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s a c. 4,500 year-old clay vase in the shape of a little hedgehog holding a bowl! 🦔 ❤️ From Chalandriani, Syros, Greece. Early Cycladic II period. National Archaeological Museum, Athens, 📷 ArchaiOptix #Archaeology

'Girls Outside the Gaiety Cinema, Newlyn.' (1925) Throughout the first two decades of the 20thC, a love of his native Cornwall dominates Harold Harvey's work. The 'impressionist' touch of his early work gives way to a crisp delineation of forms in pictures produced after 1920.

Hello UK friends! A heads-up that there’s another chance to catch my Ottoman Empire by Train series on @channel4.bsky.social at 7pm tonight. Then stay tuned for my wonderful friend @bettanyhughes.bsky.social with her BRAND NEW Secrets of a Viking Ship!

Morning beautiful people. Scout asleep/Scout awake. Love, everybody #caturday

That last line made me lol

If there's a Gorrie in the band they're gonna be damn funky

Hope Steve Rotherham wears his Jam shoes on Gogglebox tonight

Today's teatime tunes: Davie Miller was King Mod when I was a kid, he was older and into it before the revival. We had a scrap with some Skins at the fair one night; back home he found a slit in the lining of his tonic suit - a narrow escape from a chibbing. Anyway, this is nothing to do with him.
