Harry bloody Kane!

So what we are saying is, Berrada and Wilcox are only effective when there’s plenty of dodgy cash floating around.

United til I die, but fuck me they are making it hard work at the moment.

Any team that regularly plays Dalot in any position deserves to be in the doldrums.

Must be missing a trick with @twickets.bsky.social - every time I get an email flagging a ticket available for tonight’s Angine de Poitrine gig in Leeds, it’s gone by the time I’ve clicked through. Are they sending the emails out alphabetically? Are there some really rapid folk out there?

Don’t know if anyone else is doing Onw Word Search but chuff me I was quick today! #ows966 🔎 5/5 (00:32) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 🏆 performance: top 2% 🔥 streak: 8 puzzlist.com/onewordsearch

Of course I have paid over the odds for this tape, and primarily so I could get a copy of Danielle Dax’s marvellous Cathouse, but just look at that track listing. Almost perfect late 80s indie fare. Brilliant!

How I arrived on BlueSky.

@mogwai.scot Lads, the last time one of my favourite artists released a record on my birthday it was Blackstar by David Bowie. Just look after yourselves, that’s all I’m saying.

Worst thing that happened when Fergie retired was cancelling the monthly cheque to the Referees Benevolent Fund.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Someone needs to ask all these Christian Patriots if any of them know the story of The Good Samaritan.

As an old school indie kid, this Westside Cowboy record is the mutts nuts. Which idiot said guitar bands were dead?

If Dolly isn’t going to be here tomorrow, we are all going to have be at least 10% more Dolly to make up for the shortfall.

Cracking Westside Cowboy in store at Jumbo, suspect I was pretty much the oldest one there, much to the chagrin of my lad.

The first Cure song I ever heard as a kid in the early 80’s was Charlotte Sometimes and they played it tonight in Edinburgh and I had a little cry, so there’s that.

The wife just got a second alert on her phone. Guessing she must be high risk so have chucked a bucket of water over her just to be on the safe side.

Anyone else just jump out of their skins?

Knew I should have trimmed those trees last winter

I see Wakefield Council can no longer fly the flag of Wakefield following a new Reform policy. Tits.

Tough day today for Gen X Brits, losing Bill Oddie and Zippy on the same day.

Have become slightly obsessed with Phoebe Bridgers’ Lost Boys single, to the extent that last night my brain decided to repeatedly sing it to me rather than let me sleep.

Crikey

Trent Reznor keeps tiny cetaceans in his aquarium Nine inch Whales

I’m in the hottest hotel in London with only a tiny desk fan to waft the air, and a bunch of Argentinian teenagers on the floor below. FML

I know it’s designed to prod that bit of my brain that hankers for watching crappy Saturday morning TV after a heavy night out, but X-Men ‘97 is very well done isn’t it.

Slightly stressed after a bit of train palaver this morning, but there is something uniquely relaxing about bucketing past huge fields of golden wheat and spotting all the little vignettes of life hidden from day to day view. Seen three rabbits too.

Is if there wasn’t enough nonsense today, U2 have dropped a new single.

Just accidentally played the People and Industry bonus disc at 33, and I kind of like it @warringtonruncorn.com

Catching up this morning. Didn’t expect such a stressful start to the day.

Been full of cold all weekend. Absolutely no one at work is going to believe me if I ring in sick tomorrow.

Just had to apologise to @normanrecords.com for cancelling my order of the @warringtonruncorn.com People And Industry reissue after getting the email reminder that I’d ordered it directly from @castlesinspace.bsky.social. Really must start writing these things down…

There’s no finer sneeze than the one just after pulling a rogue nasal hair out. Full body experience.

Haven’t played this in a dogs age. One of the great lost indie bands of the early noughties. Belter.

Not a bad couple of weeks for gigs by my standards. The glorious and insane Angine de Poitrine, Pixies with my boys (they used to complain about me playing Doolittle when they were little kids), and a blistering Sugar set making me wonder why they ever split up. Not sure I’ll top that for a while.

Bob Mould and the Mighty Sugar blew the roof off tonight in Leeds. Honestly don’t know where their stamina comes from. Blinding set.

Rumour has it that 14000 people were on the wait list for tonight’s Angine de Poitrine gig at the Brudenell. It’s a shame for those that could go cos they absolutely smashed it.

Just realised that AI is Sex Panther

I see the Teal Tories and Five Mil Farage are having a smug day today.

Without stating your age post your favourite film released the year you turned 18.

Who broke the Bleep website? @boardsofcanada.bsky.social

In that Record Store Day hinterland, waiting patiently for someone to add all the details to Discogs so I can log my purchases correctly!

Have brought the wife and youngest to Haworth as both are slightly Bronte obsessed. Have left them to the museum to have a brew and read some Sci-Fi in one of the tearooms. Always found Wuthering Heights a bit lacking in laser weapons and intergalactic flight.

Can confirm the new Angine De Poitrine album is excellent for jet washing the patio to.

You can have your Blur and Oasis, this is the best thing to come out of Britpop by a country mile.

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?
