Life comes at you fast, eh.

Slint on the stereo in the barbers 🙌

I was up in London yesterday and didn't see anyone who I thought might be as dangerous as Nadhim Zahawi.

#Reverberations Day 13: The Apples in Stereo One of my favourites from the 90s. Always exciting to pop into Rough Trade at Covent Garden and look for the latest Elephant 6 imports. youtu.be/1wajl4oCw9Q

A frustrating day at work which concluded with an absolute soaking on the cycle from the city to London Bridge. So tonight kids, I’m going dark and strong. #Bskybeer

Jim Ratcliffe is an utter berk. His views should not be newsworthy.

#Reverberations Day 12: Ride Drive Blind on Snub TV was a big “music TV” moment for teenage me. I recall seeing this and rushing off to the pub to discuss with my next door neighbour. Thrilling stuff. youtu.be/NC9m6rgdUMY

#Reverberations Day 11: Disco Inferno Ahead of their time? Too clever for their own good? I always thought this one would have sounded good on Top of the Pops. youtu.be/5GlEf-u6j94

Abolish the Lords.

Excellent. Very good indeed.

How the fuck is that offside?

#Reverberations Day 10: The Boo Radleys The Boos taking their formative steps. Sounds like it was recorded in a shed which is the way it often should be. youtu.be/bdYMp_-5Ysk

Post a banger that isn’t in English… youtu.be/m5dPPJsJhnA

#Reverberations Day 9: Lemonheads

#Reverberations Day 8: Blue Aeroplanes

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Morgan. #politics

I think it was @birmingham81.bsky.social who pointed out this goodie was released 43 years ago. All hail Mr Edwyn Collins 😎 #WeekendSingles

Belgian big hitters are out tonight #Bskybeer

Album tracks that should have been singles… And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles *52 Girls - B52s Lose That Girl - Saint Etienne Confetti - Lemonheads Mr Disco - New Order *Can’t Get Enough of You Baby - The Colourfield #AlbumAlmanac (*aware that 52 Girls and CGEOYB were singles in Europe/USA)

#Reverberations Day 7: Seam Not gonna argue with a co-lab featuring Bitch Magnet and Superchunk peeps. Turned up to see these in London one night and there was a band also playing called Yo La Tengo. So that was a cool intro.

Morning, #WeekendSingles peeps… filthy day on the Sussex coast so we’re back to the 2000s hoping for a ray of sunshine from this lot.

Back to Lewes for tonight’s refreshments. This one is a house favourite… #Bskybeer

#Reverberations Day 6: Th’ Faith Healers Part of the “Camden lurch” scene, whatever that was. More usefully, signed to Too Pure that was the gold standard for most things in 92/93. Loads of energy, loads of fun.

German style dark lager from Lewes. #Bskybeer

#Reverberations Day 5: Buffalo Tom Hot on the heels of Dinosaur Jr, here’s a J. Mascis produced beauty from Massachusetts. Came back from the pub one night around Christmas 1989 to see Sunflower Suit on a year end TV music round-up. Mind blown. Bloody love it!

The cat is so bored by the rain that he’s helping to make the bed.

Lovely, that. Hopefully the start of something for the lad.

Dark beer for dark times.

#Reverberations Day 4: Dinosaur Jr I can never decide which is my favourite record out of these two. I do know I like Dinosaur more when Lou is in the band.

Damn, this is sad news. Always loved it that these guys got to ride the big Belgian races.

#Reverberations Day 3. Moonshake. When I first moved to London it seemed like they played every week. Which was a very good thing.

#Reverberations A big one for me personally. Galaxie 500. Saw them at the tail end of ‘89 and then the following year supporting The Sundays, which was a pretty good night.

“i” - A.R. Kane. 1989 when Our Price was a thing. #Reverberations

I mean, it’s a point of view…

Just back from seeing Tortoise in Paris so we’re reacquainting ourselves with some of their older 7”s and a few other vaguely related bits #WeekendSingles

Last word from Paris.

The PSG and Paris FC grounds are pretty close together.

More Paris… 48 hours too late to see Newcastle United but Le Corbusier’s studio was cool…

We’ve gone Basque for dinner.

Another day in Paris… Incredible Gerhard Richter exhibition at the Fondation Louis Vuitton. A mind blowing talent.

The magnificent Tortoise, live in Paris.

Nine years? That’s not even in the next parliament. They’re basically confirming it’ll never happen. Grow a spine, man. www.theguardian.com/money/2026/j...

January was definitely a bit busier when I had less grey hair. Facebook reminds me it’s 32 years since we trailed along to Water Rats to see the latest “hot group”.

This is great TV #nfl

Quick trip to that there London on Saturday night to celebrate my mother’s birthday. They’re doing their best to make the South Bank so tacky and boring but the Royal Festival Hall remains an absolute gem.

Tidying up at home and this fell out of a box. Boumsong’s debut, from memory 😬🤯 #nufc

Good morning, #WeekendSingles peeps… more random digging in the noughties box today…

Great finish. But I’m more impressed that I’m in the photo 😆 #nufc

Surrounded by PSV fans on the train back to London. They seem like canny lads and are also massively hungover. Looks like they enjoyed Newcastle despite the result. #nufc

I fully support the “no golf clubs” rule
