  1. Today's finds. Worth the sunburn. All will be online at redblob.co.uk later. twitter.com/RedblobUK/stat…
  2. On way to this evening's entertainment courtesy of Jah Wobble/Keith Levene, in the form of a Metal Box in Dub. Should be grand.
  3. Limited edition vinyl 10" picked up at last night's Tindersticks gig in Budapest. Signed by David and Terry. twitter.com/RedblobUK/stat…
  4. PSB vinyl loveliness arrived today. That's Public Service Broadcasting, not Pet Shop Boys. Thanks @PSB_HQ, hand-written letter a nice touch.
  5. Super. Limited edition 10" #vinyl copy of the first Public Service Broadcasting (@PSB_HQ) EP just ordered. Come on Postie, jump to it man.
  6. Exclusive stream of two versions of My Bloody Valentine's 1991 #indie masterpiece Loveless: guardian.co.uk/music/musicblo… #nowplaying
  7. #nowplaying PIL Metal Box ...in preparation for the Shoreditch gig on 25th, Jah Wobble/Keith Levene 'Metal Box In Dub'. Should be a good'un.
  8. 20th birthday today of Need For Not, the largely forgotten but great album from Levitation. Powerful stuff. twitter.com/RedblobUK/stat…
  9. Another busy few days' mail order. Lots of #vinyl gone out to interesting places like Ecuador, Japan & Greece. Very few pic discs left now!
  10. Heard this on @BBC6Music this evening. Great stuff, looking forward to the EP. Public Broadcasting Service 'Spitfire'. youtube.com/watch?v=_u4Md_…
  11. Loving the new Spiritualized album. Belter.
  12. More newbies in today, some rare: L7, Coil, Dwarves (Subpop), Snuff, Keane, Rush. #vinyl redblob.co.uk for details.
  13. Remember kids, a record shop is for life, not just for Record Store Day. twitter.com/RedblobUK/stat…
  14. @TheWhigs RT'd altho I thought it said "Retweet if you have a record store, then go find an actual soul" :-) Checking the Soul section now..
  15. #nowplaying The Cure's Disintegration. Just for Fat Bob's birthday. Still a great album 23 years later.
  16. Record Shop Day today in case you needed reminding (as if). Have a wax-filled day, all you fans of lovely #vinyl. #RSD12
  17. #nowplaying Kula Shaker. Like it's the 90s.
  18. Useless internet factoid: "Before becoming Elvis Presley's agent, Colonel Tom Parker ran a troupe of dancing chickens." True? Dunno.
