Smashing ride round to Birling Gap this morning. The cliff edge is getting pretty close to those houses now. I wonder how long they’ve got?

Tour de France time, innit. #WeekendSingles

Sureshot! #Bskybeer

Heading back up to our old ‘hood, Ally Pally next weekend for the Super Furries show. Getting in some revision. #WeekendSingles

Fuggles Beer Cafe in Tunbridge Wells. I don’t think we’ll go thirsty. #Bskybeer

2015 Tour de France Grand Depart in Utrecht. Support from Kraftwerk 😎🚴‍♂️

I cannot get over how shit and embarrassing England cricket looked today. An absolute circus. Well played NZ though. As ever, more than the sum of their parts.

BAT PROPERLY YOU MORONS.

Heading to Yorkshire #Bskybeer

My expectations for England games are pretty low. But this isn’t even reaching that level. Dire.

I have a suspicion a Verdant v Track match-up is too good for an England game but I’m going in. #Bskybeer

Cor, I like Broad’s hat. Nice look.

Off the grid all day at Pett Level. Dog pinching my socks not shown.

Tindersticks… the early years #WeekendSingles

England’s sun trap, innit #Bskybeer

Regardless of the reason, Olli Robinson has dodged a bullet here at Trent Bridge 😬😆

Classified football scores in 1986…

After work refreshments

Sussex was bloody lovely this morning. The lanes were teeming with life: buzzards, goldfinches, tits, rabbits, gulls (obvs), butterflies, etc, etc. and only one impatient twat in an SUV. A good morning.

Bit worried it’s got the consistency of a soft cheese or Mr Whippy but here’s hoping. On leaving the ground yesterday I said 250 was getable if the sun was out. The weather’s done it’s bit so COME ON!

A previous trip to Brighton. Jan 1993 to be exact to see Stereolab, Tsunami and Lois. Ford Capri: Courtesy of New Cross Motors. Hair: model’s own. #WeekendSingles

Interesting to hear @simonreynolds.bsky.social and Simon Raymonde discuss the merits of the flexi in Brighton last night. Here’s a few I’d dug out a while back… #WeekendSingles

A day out in Brighton and Hove. Sussex v Hampshire and then Simon Reynolds v Simon Raymonde…

Heading to Brighton today. Really looking forward to seeing Simon Reynolds chat to Simon Raymonde about his new book at Resident Records. Here’s a few that might get a mention. #WeekendSingles

Up in that there Stoke Newington for a night of Chicago music royalty. Sam Prekop and John McEntire in a church.

Two singles to Beachy Head... a rare (very) low tide to be able to walk right up to the Beachy Head lighthouse. A three hour trek over slippery rocks but worth it to see the stripes close up.

What the fuck does that mean?

I guess someone has to do it. #WeekenedSingles

Fucking hell, it’s the Bevis Frond

Random rules… #WeekendSingles

Sitting at the cricket all day is thirsty work. Picked up a Brighton brew on the way home. #Bskybeer

Bloody cold at Hove but Sussex looked dangerously like a professional sports team today. Very good indeed.

Stand by most of this a few years on. Next gig is Bevis Frond.

Geordie Maradona

In Birmingham for work stuff and the stars aligned so I got a second helping of Aldous Harding. Wonderful show.

We’re in the pub #Bskybeer

Then they were Delta 😎 #WeekendSingles

Never warmed to Hollioake (no idea why) but I like this*. Quite how anyone thinks telling someone they’re shite and not fit to wear the shirt is going to make them come out and smash the ball round the park is anyone’s guess.

Last week, I mentioned I’d been to see The Loft and it was suggested their “Up The Hill…” single was the best Creation 7”. Here are a few more (others are available). What’s your favourite? #WeekendSingles

Last episode of Your Friends and Neighbors needs a good beer #Bskybeer

Another Guernica release from about 1993. Bettie Serveert.

The world might be an absolute shit show but there’s a new Tara Clerkin Trio album to take my mind off it. Bonus 7” from Bandcamp and World of Echo too.

Still raining

The blue stripes on the sleeve are a bit thick, mind.

Went to see The Loft and 14 Iced Bears last night. Not something I thought I’d be saying in 2026. #WeekendSingles

Nick Pope would’ve saved that. 😉

Blackpaper.uk 💪😆

Still pretty hot down on the coast. Trying to get the energy levels up #WeekendSingles

Great to see these guys getting some recognition. The tracks I’ve heard online from the new record sound better than ever. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Kernel Pale in that there London. Eight whole pounds and ninety five pence 😳 Canny drop, mind. #Bskybeer
