Today’s troublesome tune comes from Sir Nodsworth and chums. To be fair, I’ve had worse.

Final episode of the Capture is next Sunday, not tonight. I will be away, so will have to watch it later. No spoilers, please!

Similarly, there’s The Byrds Play Dylan. All of the tunes, none of the voice.

Over on his Soundcloud page, he covers World In Motion by The New Orders. Complete with the John Barnes rap, as if done by a Mackem.

The pain will pass but the memories never will. “Not forgotten, but remembered” as someone wise once told me. 18 years since my stepdad left us, but he’s always around. Two weeks ago, I gave his memorial […]

She’s only gawn and made number one in the album charts.

Always nice to discover ‘new’. My fave new (to me) acts of recent years have both been support acts at gigs. Thanks for the tip-off.

Congrats. Our IFA came round with a review last week: our pensions and whatever made twice as much last year as I did. She wants us both to retire this time next year. Despite recently going three days a week, […]

I’m on holiday (at home) this week so doing my traditional Easter pottering. Up at 7am, breakfast of (as usual) two boiled eggs and two toast. Showered, then printed out the campervan hire and sites stuff for […]

fentonsteve commented on the post, Recent Vinyl Finds 1 week ago
There was a record fair in my nearest town hall on Sunday. I didn’t go, but jet-washed my patio instead. The local vinyl warehouse had a half-price sale. Think: all the records from every charity shop you’ve […]

I thought You Suffer was a bit long-winded, self-indugent (and proggy?). I much preferred Mega-Armageddon Death by the Electro Hippies, which got straight to the point in a much more concise manner, during its […]

You’d have thought so, but no… In summary, the audio data goes through the phone, and the Spotify app mangles it down to something less than 320k mp3. Plus, lossless over Bluetooth isn’t always guaranteed (too […]

The Linn Axis was a strange beast – looked like a Sondek but was, under the covers, closer to a Rega Planar 3 in a skirt – no suspension springs, just squidgy rubber feet. So more dependent on the surface it was […]

Crikey, there’s a name I’ve not heard for decades. I got given a copy of this picture disc, 40 years ago, in Harlequin Records, Enfield. I wonder if it is still hiding in my Kallax?

Even if the stream going into the app is lossless, the output of the Spotify app is not lossless. Spotify Connect has the potential to be truly lossless, if it is implemented properly. There’s a YT video […]
