I know this was last weekend, but I’ve only managed to pick up my #RSD swag today. Managed to bag all 3 records I wanted this year at face value, as I refuse to pay scalper scum!… #Vinyl #Records #RecordStoreDay #RSD2026 #BruceSpringsteen #Megadeth #AgainstMe #Rock #Metal #Punk

Well that was brilliant - two of my favourite musicians playing the iconic Gliderdrome venue in my lil’ ole hometown - the venue which inspired Elton John’s ‘Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting’ no less… @frankturner @hausedave #FrankTurner #DaveHause #TheGliderdrome

[Magic Rat (Music) @M_R_Music]

Off to a gig in my little hometown tonight, 5 mins from my front door to see Frank Turner & Dave Hause. Think it’s fair to say I’m a fan of both… @frankturner @hausedave #FrankTurner #DaveHause #TheGliderdrome #Vinyl #LiveMusic

@NeedleOfSteel It certainly is & a great way to call it a day, but tbh I’m still not convinced it’ll be their final record.

[Magic Rat (Music) @M_R_Music]

Don’t normally buy much from HMV, as they’re generally overpriced & I prefer to support independent record stores, but this was a decent haul for the price…. #Vinyl #Records #Megadeth #Oasis #TheStoneRoses

Be interesting to see how much this sells for. Listed on Ebay - one of the punk genre’s ‘Holy Grail’ records… #SexPistols #Vinyl #Records #Punk

@NeedleOfSteel @AliceInChains Scary how long ago this first came out, but still sounds great all these years later.

[Magic Rat (Music) @M_R_Music]

Spinning the first record I’ve bought this year. Got this on CD when it first came out….gulp….30 YEARS AGO!!! Where on earth did that time go? #NowPlaying #AliceInChains #Vinyl #Rock #Grunge @AliceInChains

My favourite new release albums from the past month (December 2025). Usually slim pickings in the run up to Xmas, so I’ve included a couple of records I didn’t give enough credit to earlier in the year… @flycatcherband @jutesmusic @samfendermusic @ViagraBoys #Punk #Rock #Indie
