More than just a compass point.

We’re slumped on the sofa. In our house. We like our little house. We’ve just come back from a 10.5 km walk. It was meant to be 9 km but we’re hard as fuck, so we extended it. As the weeks go on we have decided to embark on ever lengthening walks to keep us […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 4.

Is it Part 4 already? Well I never. If ever you needed some guidance it’s now. According to those who do the adding up the most streamed song from 1999 is ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’ by Toploader. This is a song distinguished purely by its own complete mastery of awful. It is the musical equivalent […]

On the cutting edge of the crisis.

Oh, the news. It giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other. I am hooked on the BBC but that doesn’t mean I think they’re anything special. You have to take what you’re given. Those neighbours I get the paper for are lovely, lovely people but they read The Daily Mail; I don’t […]

On the bright side.

They reckon that all this being locked indoors is going to be the spark that lights millions of creative fires across the world and that our inner artists will be unleashed for all to behold. That might be the case, but so far all I can see are some lame rainbows stuck in front windows […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 3.

To begin at the beginning is one way of doing it but why not add a splash of original and pick up Part 3 at the beginning instead and with, as they say in the alphabet police, ‘A’. ‘A’ has always had the monopoly on all things first class, whereas ‘1’ can sometimes just be […]

Due to coronavirus.

Surely the three most redundant words on the planet right now. Used to cap off every headline and every shock statistic and every grim revelation with every sincere face every second of every minute of every hour of every day. The crap out there is just running on a loop and at some point something […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 2.

Working from home has been more time consuming than I had imagined and what I thought would be a ripe opportunity for writing has quietly dribbled past. But I’m up to date right now and so shall continue my Coronavinyl Revival whereby I drift aimlessly through my vinyl collection while you yawn and go back […]

Your one form of exercise a day.

Joe Wicks must be loving all this. With everyone confined to their homes he is starting to become the man who would be king. If his home workout videos spread far and wide enough and then he becomes and MP he’s a shoo in for next Prime Minister. Of course strictly speaking only a maximum […]

The Coronavinyl Revival. Part 1.

Music has to be ordered by necessity. It might be all very quirky and eccentric having lots of music in no particular order but it becomes nightmarish whenever you’re looking for something specific. Trust me, I’ve tried. Some dicks order their collections by genre or theme first but that’s just stupid because music is music […]

Introducing The Coronavinyl Revival.

One of the benefits of what we’re going through at the moment is that it gives one time to appreciate all that you have accumulated, but have never had time to properly appreciate. Everyone has their own little box of treasures and I’m no different. For me it’s a wardrobe of well pressed work shirts […]
