Any update on this? I just deleted a post on the gardening thread as the two pics were rotated, are fine on my ipad. Screenshots seem to be fine…….any news @Richard.Dane on this?
If you do a very small crop before posting it seems to work ok. Richard suggested this to me and said he’d take the issue to the developer. As you say screen shots are fine and it’s silly to need to do a crop as a workaround.
This is Eddi Reader’s Robert Burns album, which she signed for me on Wednesday when we put on her show in Emsworth.

Thanks Nigel will try that.
Great gig to put on Nigel.
Watched / listened last night to this brilliant documentary about 2-Tone / Coventry.
It’s available on Beeb iPlayer, and is really worth the watch.

Seems to be an iOS and Discourse issue with metadata. A work around is to do a small edit such as a crop before posting

Lady Blackbird - Black Acid Soul (Foundation Music LP mastered by Bernie Grundman)
One of the finest debut albums by any artist in any genre I’ve heard in a while and discovered via this thread
Rough Trade On The Rise: Lady Blackbird
The debut album Black Acid Soul from Lady Blackbird is one of the standouts for 2021. It’s instant and within a minute you are hooked. Rough Trade Shops loves this album. Think Nina Simone, Hot Buttered Soul-era Isaac Hayes, Billie Holiday and Chaka Khan. Gilles Peterson called her “the Grace Jones of Jazz”.
Minimal yet rich, classic yet timely, the album connects backwards to Miles Davis (his pianist, Deron Johnson, plays Steinway Baby Grand, Mellotron and Casio Synth throughout) and forwards to Pete Tong (he made the Bruise mix of ‘Collage’ his Number Two Essential Selection tune of 2020).
It’s 11 tracks have a sound, feeling and attitude that speak of Lady Blackbird’s deep experiences in music, stretching all the way back to infancy. Standout tracks include the sad, elegantly simple tune, ‘Nobody’s Sweetheart’, plus two killer cuts written by Lady Blackbird and Seefried, ‘Fix It’ and ‘Five Feet Tall’. The former is an elegant piano ballad that sounds like a Great American Songbook standard sung by a woman on the side of the angels. Her ability to nail the song in the studio in minimal takes was clearly something to behold. The album also includes Wanted Dead or Alive, a rare groove classic recorded by funk/gospel collective Voices of East Harlem in 1973 and co-produced by Curtis Mayfield, an inspired reinvention on the aching ‘It’ll Never Happen Again’, written by Tim Hardin and a stunning take on Nina Simone’s Blackbird.
This is Black Acid Soul, and this is one of the first crucial album of 2021. Are you ready to fly with Lady Blackbird?

No joking, as I mentioned in my post about the new Specials album. I highly recommend adding to your reading list, Horace Panter Ska’d For Life

Inspired by a recent posting of an H.I.M album, can’t abide their cover version of the title track so playing Chris’s to calm my disposition.

A few years ago I went through stage of listening to some of the heavier sides of rock music, the likes of Type O Negative, Cathedral etc
This was a band I listened to back then but not for quite a while, a new album released today on Qobuz.

Because I’m starting the weekend over here. I play my Hugo 2 into my SuperUniti and the sound is nice. Thinking about adding a NAP 200.
