There was a time when my IG page featured regular posts of art and photography I’ve collected.
It’s been some time since I’ve done one of those mainly because my walls are full! lol 😂
Last week I celebrated a milestone and two of my favorite people on earth collaborated to make me a stunning card to commemorate the occasion.
A very special shout out to the love of my life @janelee and the best artist on planet earth @petefowler for creating this masterpiece work despite the dodgy subject.
So much love to both of you and to everyone who took the time to message me on my 50th birthday.🎂
Thank from the bottom of my heart. ❤️
FINALLY!! My 1000th post.
This was a task to say the least... 1000 records in one photo.
Far too many to list obviously but if you’re so inclined see how many you can name. The person who can list the most will win the new @aof_official single “Familiar Drugs” 7”. I’ll leave the contest open for a week and see who can come up with the most correct answers.
Watch this post for clues in the comments section... #vinylcontest #recordgiveaway #alexisonfire #theonlybandever #familiardrugs #1000records #1000thpost
Part one of my unboxing reel series… there’s over 30 minutes of material I’m going to be breaking down into 3 minute segments. Starting with a couple of 7s… one of which is a HUGH @discogs want. Finally added to the collection.
Ike White - Changin’ Times
LAX / Far Out / Rhino records, re-issue US pressing limited RSD release, LP - 2026 / originally 1976
My biggest want from Record Store Day this year was far and away this Ike White re-issue. The original “recorded in jail” record.
This record has been on my want list for over a decade and completely out of reach due to the price tag that often approaches $1000.
Back in 1976 Ike White was serving a life sentence for murder when he was discovered by producer Jerry Goldstein. The album was produced by Sly and the Family Stone drummer (who also plays on the record) Greg Errico. Recorded via a mobile studio that was brought to the prison Changin’ Times was born.
Stevie Wonder was so taken by the music that he rallied behind a movement to see Ike’s release from jail… and won!!
After his release White performed occasionally but never moved past this one recording.
Nice to have a clean pressing of this record that didn’t break the bank. Highly recommend if you see one still kicking around to pick it up. You won’t regret it!!

Various Artists - Help
Go Discs / War Child - original UK pressing 2LP - 1995
These compilations are both great and sad…
Great that in 1995 we were able to get a glimpse into what became Radioheads OK Computer with Lucky. With other contributions from Oasis, Blur, Massive Attack, Stone Roses to name a few.
Sad that over 30 years later there was a still a need to release a second version. To support any children affected by war. A fantastic cause to get behind.
In the latest installment of Help 2 heavyweights like Olivia Rodrigo, Pulp, Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode and a return from Oasis (spoiler alert, the bonus 7”). What drew me to this comp was the collab between Beck & Arooj Aftab. And it didn’t disappoint.
I really recommend this record if you haven’t already grabbed it. A good way to support a noble cause and get some incredible music at the same time.
Happy half birthday, Eloise!! 6 Months!!✨
I’ve written and re-written a heartfelt caption and what it proves is that there are no words to describe how much I love you.
You amaze me every day and every night I thank my lucky stars for blessing us with you.
I love you I love you I love you! 😘🩷
