Right, that’s me out.

Swingin’ tune about a bar you probably don’t want to walk into.

More strange tales, from another great writer of the supernatural and unsettling - this time with bonus former owner of the book who didn’t feel that inscribing their name inside the cover was quite enough…

If you’re looking for something elegiac, tinged with melancholy, and speaking of wide open skies, you could always do a lot worse than The Low Anthem.

The rain is mostly just drops on the window and the birds are singing again, but any excuse for some ‘50s Drifters.

Wind’s been howling all afternoon, but it was the rain lashing against the window that woke me from an ill-advised, uneasy nap. Perfect weather to light some candles, read more ghost stories, and listen to some Tom Waits.

Sunday night earworm.

Such a great ‘fuck you’ song.

This reminded me of a very different Billy Williams in my collection - clip below for your delight.

Mr. Billy Williams, the man in the Velvet Coat - Why Can’t We Have the Sea in London?

Hell, I’d follow him.

Works on a Sunday afternoon, too, I’d wager.

[Rachel James Brown, AKA Rockin’ Rachel Roll @yiprocheretic]

It’s Friday night, a fine time to cut loose to some wild sounds. If you love rhythm & blues, rock ‘n’ roll, doo-wop, and rockabilly, you may just like this little show of mine…

‘…tea was taken to the accompaniment of a discussion which golfing persons can imagine for themselves, about which the conscientious writer has no right to inflict upon any non-golfing persons’.

CORRECT, M.R. James, and I thank you for it.

[Rachel James Brown, AKA Rockin’ Rachel Roll @yiprocheretic]

Someone should definitely make a blues of Lost Hearts. Haven’t read that one before, and it got me good.

[Rachel James Brown, AKA Rockin’ Rachel Roll @yiprocheretic]

Listening to a lot of spooky tunes and unsettling blues this evening (for reasons), so I thought I’d turn to the master for some reading matter.

[Rachel James Brown, AKA Rockin’ Rachel Roll @yiprocheretic]

It’s not Sunday, but I have had a nap.

I DO, however, recommend a pastrami and mozzarella toastie with mustard.

I do not recommend cleaning out a litter tray on a hangover.

I was correct in that assumption.

Gone from vodka to bourbon (ran out of vodka), in a move I can only assume I’ll regret come the morning.

Two kinds of people don’t love The Who: people who haven’t heard them yet, and fuckin’ eejits.
