About Me

View my complete profile
I'm a bloke just turned fifty five, living in Newcastle, a wonderful city in the North East of England. This is a fairly random music related blog for things that I'm thinking about, listening to, Pop Culture and the like. Originally focussed on vinyl mainly but gradually mutating into a discussion of everything musical. The plan now is to post something every day for as long as I can. I do it for myself mainly but hopefully will post things that others are interested in. I welcome any comments for stuff I put up.

I don't claim any copyright on anything I post on here and always try to state clearly links to where things come from. If you think I do offend any regulations please let me know!
