Took a punt on a record from a French retro shop because it came with a Françoise Hardy playing card that looked signed, and indeed it was... pic.twitter.com/kEpWgaW7Mn

Looking forward to Hungry Beat as quite a few characters in it will be familiar from my growing up in Glasgow but I also want to read that Foghorn book as it had some great reviews tho my fave so far has to be Ten Thousand Apologies the story of the Fat White Family

Tim Page: The Clash Under The Westway Overpass Notting Hill (1982)
"What do you say about The Clash? This was in 1982. Such is my exposure to music. These are my offerings about music. I got a call out of nowhere to come to their practice studio when they were doing Combat Rock. They had a manager called Kosmos Vinyl. I met them at this pub, and we went over to their studio and Joe Strummer just gave me a big shopping bag -- I hadn't heard their music -- a full shopping bag of all their EPs and their LPs, and a biiiiiiiig, big lump of hash. Then they played about 4-5 numbers from Combat Rock and said, 'Can you come on tour with us?" and I said, 'I'd love to.'I didn't know really know who they were. Then they said, 'we'd also want to buy a bunch of your images to project onstage during the tour.' So I went 'oh fuck. yeah.' and then the till was ringing again. I went on tour with them through France. It was sex, drugs and rock and roll. It was pure fucking insanity. It was all a lot of fun. Then I did two or three concerts in the UK. If you're not quite sure what fucking day it is because you're so fucked up. You're back on the coke just to do another performance, then you've gotten so involved since you're backstage.I'm looking after bimbos, I plan on taking pictures, but I'm struggling to make sense of my life because of drugs and alcohol. It was a great time, but it was a totally gonzo tour. I had no idea who the Clash were. Then at the time they had just launched this incredible album Combat Rock. So it was a real treat to go on tour and shoot pictures for them, and have my pictures projected. Jesus. What more could you want?"

Hot Chip (ft. Cadence Weapon) - The Evil That Men Do
OK let me just say that Hot Chip have never really grabbed me perhaps as it was my kids who played them first around the house and to be honest they played a lot of stuff that didn't have that certain 'something'that I need in my music. I could admire their pop cleverness but...
I said as much on Facebook a couple of years ago if not more and an old old London friend of mine said to me to REALLY listen to them. Now I take Mark's recommendations seriously as there are probably quite a few records in your collection that he produced or remixed
But nah I still didn't get them and then this dropped two days ago and is stunning
This certainly has that something...
Whatever that something is
