www.brooklynvegan.com/15-albums-fr... Nice end of year stuff from @brooklynvegan.bsky.social. Is there gonna be another one? Hell yeah!

Off to Hatten Gardens for one last job.

Sorry to hear that Hofner guitars have gone out of business. I've had a few Hofner's over the years - and still have my '63 Commitee, that I used all over The Auteurs 'New Wave' Named because Bert Weedon was on the Commitee that helped design it!

This is my kind of fact.

@lukehaines.bsky.social and I are the Fanny and Alexander of North London as the Christmas Fallbaules are on the tree and the I Am Kurious Oranj diorama from @heykidsshop.bsky.social is assembled.

Currently sifting through piles of 'Select Magazine', 'Melody Maker' and 'NME' to see if I was misquoted. I shall sue them for 5 bil each, and i shall close the fuckers down. Ha!

18/1 on England winning the Ashes 3 2. I'm going in lads. Performing an occult invocation rite now!

Very sad to say that my old pal Phil Vinall has just died. I'll write more about Phil at somepoint - in the meantime here's a nice piece by Ian from Balloon. Rest in Noise Phil, dear friend.

Well done England for making it to day 4 of the Brisbane Test. This means they are twice as good as they were at Perth. Suberb.

crosstownconcerts.seetickets.com/event/black-... Blackbox Recorder tix go on sale tomorrow. 9am.

@lukehaines.bsky.social And the best one, in at no 50..... The Auteurs .

The text on this screen is like an unreleased Fall song. I'm enjoying reading it in Mark E Smith's voice. What can it all mean??

Yes we are! Tix on sale December 3rd.

Entirely normal Friday at heykidsrocknroll.etsy.com - everything 0% off!

lwtheatres.co.uk/whats-on/bla... Black Box Recorder are playing The London.Palladium next year. It's not nostalgia - it's revenge.

Big news coming tomorrow. Watch this space.

It would be even funnier if, one glorious day, their incessant, inane, witless, self-involved mooing was silenced by a grand piano falling out of an overflying cargo aircraft, but it's something.

Five ways for England to claw something back; Deport Zac Crawley Deport The Barmy Army Play Test Cricket Don't allow people called Olly near cricket bats. (The Ollying of English test cricket has had a lasting negative effect, not least on me). Grow mustaches pronto.

Another awful thing about this terrible *cricket* day. Is that I find myself agreeing with everything Michael Vaughan has said. A bleak realisation.

Frankly, I think the whole England team should be interred once they return.

I guess the positive of the stupid second batting innings by Stokes and co, is that we surely must be nearing the end of the 'Zac Crawley Experiment'. Surely...surely...

1978, Brisbane. Pre-Lindy Go-Betweens

Portishead! Really, I don't think i've ever heard anyone say a bad word about Portishead! Are we making stuff up again?

Today, I am playing at being John Aspinall. This afternoon I shall 'rewild' the living room with wolves.

Bleakly amusing that Black Box Recorders 100 million streaming royalties are going towards Sweden's investment in tech warfare in preperation of Putin maneouvres. That's showbiz kid!

Great piece in @thequietus.com today featuring a video of our mate Stewart Lee interviewing his mate @stephenhanley6.bsky.social about his memoir that Stew has just narrated for a soon to be released audiobook! The watch is less exhausting than this post! 💥 #thefall thequietus.com/news/watch-s...

I know the BBC are preoccupied, but I've recieved no reply re my complaint about how incompetent the Red Team were on Bargain Hunt (October 26th broadcast). And how they didn't even appear to be taking the game remotely seriously.

Re last post about ISB Likky. It's a grim Mail gutter piece. I'm glad she's alive, but she clearly doesn't want to be tracked down by tabloids, who's only agenda is mocking women who age.

Wow! Likky lives. In Sacremento of course. Home to Squeaky and Sandy and the SLA, and now Likky.

Guitar heads! Probably futile yet genuine question: Any views on Epiphone P90's vs Fender P90s? I await your silence people.

Considering franchising all my artistic output to Saudi Arabia or the UAE. Everyone else is and I don't want to miss out.

Btw. I have a load of messages on here that I can't access. So if you do want to tell me something. Just tell me, no one's on here anyway!

Amused by the seriousness afforded to John Cale's collab with pop queen Charli XCX. You can fool some of the people all the time etc.

ayearinthecountry.co.uk?fbclid=PAdGR... Strangely, my 8 yr asked to hear aome 'wierd' music I had made. So I played her this. And then this popped up this morning...

Squeaky Frommes fave band? The Moody Blues. I love the Moodies.

Paul Kelly the singer doesn't like 'Imagine'. It's odd how this has become accepted knowledge. It's a really strange and interesting song about the concept of nothingness, it's wild!

It's Roy Wood's birthday. I love the Move. I love Wizzard. I love Boulders and Mustard.

The wife has just asked me how to spell Showaddywaddy. Deary me, oh the shame.

The @itvx.com hub is very much a place of desolation. Like a service station travel lodge that has gone into administration.

I remember that one! Must look it out again. Meanwhile, if anyone's up for 1666 and all that, here's my novella Coldwell. Plague, the machinations of power and a strong dash of folk horror in the shape of an underground giant. roadsongbooks.com/product/cold...

As 'Folk Horror' seems to be all the rage amongst the woolly jumpered hipsters, I recommend 'Riddley Walker' by Russel Hoban. A book that I often think about. It's super wyrd, unlike much else, and brilliant. I give it 5/5 of your white man stars.

It's a good start to see the fall of Andrew Saxe Coburg. It's not enough though. Let's hope it sinks the whole vile firm, and all the rotten talentless creeps who operate under their con job operation. We don't need these thick arseholes.

If anyone's messaging me on here - then, er, I can't see my messages.

A couple more BBR songs are piling on the Spotify streaming, and our cover of Terry Jacks Seasons In The Sun is currently number 8 in the Tiktok chart. Which, is probably something. I've no idea what's going in!

I shall be popping up with Swell Maps this eve at The Lexington. They have recorded a new album that is fantastic to which i have contributed a song! A few tix may be available for tonight...

Happy birthday Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme. Attempted assassinator and the best of the Manson gals.

Swell Maps at The Lexington this Friday (24th). I shall be doing a guest spot. Pow!

open.spotify.com/artist/6Hd3x... Child Psych streaming at 60 mil. 1.4 mill monthly listeners. Trebles all 'round for our record label and spotify. Not so much for us. Poor me, wah wah wah. Life is unfair.

We went to the Mathew Colliings art thing at Edgware Road. Brilliant drawings and excellent words. MC doesn't give a shit about who he annoys. Loved it. 5 white man stars from me. My fave: 'Moliere and Samuell Becket Despise Starmer' Bless you Mathew Collings.
