  1. The odd thing about funerals is you meet up with old friends, which injects joy and happiness into loss and sadness. Anyway, one such friend and I got talking about another old mutual friend, John Bramwell AKA Johnny Dangerously who went on to become, among other things, lead singer/songwriter for I Am Kloot. As I hadn’t heard these tracks for a while I’ve just given them a clean and a play. They still sound pretty good to me. Incidentally, photography on the Alarm Clock cover is by Will Bradley, my brother in law, drummer for Life Without Buildings (I know I’ve mentioned this before! 🙄). #vinyl #OldFriends #JohnnyDangerously #IAmKloot #NowPlaying

  2. The Smiths, Strangeways Here We Come, 1987 on Rough Trade.

    Fourth (and final) studio album from The Smiths, produced by Stephen Street, Morrissey, and Johnny Marr and recorded at The Wool Hall in Beckington, Somerset. On constant repeat in my late 80s experience.

    Strangeways was a prison in Manchester (now Manchester Prison) – The Smiths had previously used the Salford Lad’s Club for the cover of The Queen is Dead.

    My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is the 2009 Rhino reissue which sounds great (though I don’t have an 80s pressing to compare it to).
