Lots of my old records happen to be mint. They wouldn't pass muster in Discogs/Record Collector as capital-M Mint, but have never been played, nor even taken out of the sleeve. Like this from 1975. Remaindered, corner cut off, but a needle has never visited its grooves. Till now. Image
It's such a strange and magical feeling to put the needle onto an old, but unplayed record. A record that was intended for the ears and homes and lives of 1975's people, not 2020's. It's like Carter & Carnarvon opening up the tomb. But without the cultural theft. #wonderfulthings
"Sad Sweet Dreamer" was written by David Parton, whose own album Snaps has quite the startling song title hiding away in its track listing. Can't find it on YouTube, Spotify or any lyrics sites, but the mind does boggle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Par…

I realise I'm Old Man Shouts At Cloud here, but I can't get along with 'assists' being listed under the scorers on the BBC. Yes, OBVIOUSLY somebody passed to them (unless it was a mad solo effort). That's a footballer's JOB. And someone probably passed to them. Where does it end?
Goals, substitutions, and yellow and red cards. That should be it, at the top of match reports. Anything else, you should have to WATCH the bloody thing. (Or read about it, at least.)

And don't even start me on Expected Goals.

It's like a bloke in the pub talking about Expected Shags. Completely meaningless.

Tried to download the @NHSCOVID19app on my phone, an iPhone 6. Won't work. "This application requires iOS 13.5 or later." So, only people with phones less than three years old can use it. This is what the Tories call a "world-beating" system. Well done, @MattHancock, you genius.
What the Reply Guys dimwittedly fail (or pigheadedly refuse) to understand is that the NHS app isn't a luxury, like a new game or something, that people should just pay extra for if they want it. I don't 'want' it. It's something you SHOULD download and install out of civic duty.
Several people think I must own an iPhone 11, because I made an Exorcist joke in May (after watching someone else setting up THEIR iPhone 11).

So here's my actual phone. An iPhone 6. Showing today's news, on top of a letter postmarked last week.

I've been meaning to make a playlist of TELEPHONE SONGS for years, and here it is. Phone songs fascinate me.

It's not comprehensive or complete. I'm slightly open to suggestions, but they need to clear the bar of me actually liking them.

Anyway, enjoy.

Annoying that the proper version of "Ansaphone" by Pulp isn't on Spotify, by the way. Only a demo.
Hey everyone, thanks for your many great suggestions for my Telephone Songs playlist. It's almost doubled in length with your help. I think I'm done now, though.

None of this generation of Bulgarians is at a big club outside Bulgaria, which is unusual. There's no Stoichkov or Berbatov. Hard to know what to make of that. It should mean they're weak. And we are ranked 26 places higher. But they might have surprises lurking. #WALBUL #CYMBUL
'DIOLCH TO ALL KEY WORKERS' - massive banner in the stands. Why switch languages after the first word? Bit weird. #WALBUL #CYMBUL
(Yeah, it's that kind of game so far.)

Shit band. Shit singer. Shit opinions.
Reminder that Ian Brown has always been a complete bell-end.
The mystique surrounding The Stone Roses was always bollocks. The most overrated band of all time. Herman's Hermits who have heard a couple of funk records.

Come on, the Wales, against Finland in the confusing friendly-not-friendly Nations League thing!

If we win, I am blatantly going to mention The Rasmus.

Daniel James was well Scrappy Doo when the handbags kicked off just then. "Puddemup! Let me at 'em!" but stepping aside for the Bigger Boys to sort it out.

#FINWAL #SUOCYM
The Finnish coach has strong "secondary school principal being interviewed on BBC Breakfast" energy.
