I saw Mike D perform half a mile from my house in North Shields last night. Some 40 years since I witnessed the infamous Liverpool Beasties gig at the Royal Court.. still making vital music today, it was such an energetic, vibrant show. Inspirational! North Shields forever.

The new LP by The Coral really is as special as everyone says. 388 contains songs so good that they sound like old friends the first time you hear them. Some boast a gentle rocksteady lilt, while others are sweet soul gems made for a lowrider rolling down Whittier in East LA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just read your KLF Chill Out piece Nick. So good. Have just added a couple of the 'homages' you mentioned to my iTunes. Will give them a spin when I go forest walking on the w/e.

My mum just said “they’re bringing back Balamory, you used to love that”. Balamory first aired in 2002, when I was 32 years of age. I think she is confusing me with her grandchildren…

Sometimes anticipation can cause huge disappointment. Not today. 13 years in the making. They’ve definitely been listening to The Cure. Possibly Tangerine Dream. Those drums! That guitar! I’m off for a long lie down..

On this day in Wyrd Britain history... 1998 - Boards of Canada released their debut album, 'Music Has The Right To Children'.
m.youtube.com/watch?v=5O1i...
And this weekend, they seemingly returned with their first new music in 13 years.

Boards of Canada. Just get this mythical new LP out please. The hardcore fans are overanalysing these vhs tapes & going a bit nuts. It’s not enrichment feeding at the zoo lads. We’re all tired, the world’s fucked & a new record would be smashing.
