My gran played this album was a young young knee high before bed, gripping stuff. I own a copy cos of her! I would go see the musical in its entirety, but since its really expensive and they replaced Burton's absolute chocolate audio narration with Liam Neeson, i'll pass for now

listening to pizzicato 5 again. they were making insanely futuristic yet retro music back then. i bet Go! team was taking notes, surely www.youtube.com/watch?v=AssY...

quote with a fictional band that is not spinal tap

under the influence that every cover of this i've heard is amazing. including this one i've got on. you get Tim Armstrong on geetar, and the late great Jimmy Cliff on vox www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH0i...

funny how many of the poetry odds and sods i started off with on here don't really interact/block you/unfollow you on here nowadays, the interesting cats i meet along the way remain. I guess this is why i often consider myself an outsider to it. nevermind.

Honorary stuff i bought on wax lately post (mostly cos the Royal Mail delayed some, 3 came yesterday and today)

the band i got the actionist's name from. that aside, i got the Cramps' Greatest Hits LP today. To coincide, Sudden Infant here do a cracking version of Human fly www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq2a...

Gonna have to stop this war with specific times of delivery with royal mail. Had no mail this last week, yet everything arrives today.

Funny how The Whim from Frank sounds Nigel Farage: "Perpetually smiling, devilish character who inhabits a body with a moon-shaped head, "the spirit of politics".When the body is destroyed, it turns out that Whim is actually a "tiny, malicious worm" that is able to crawl inside others".

Made up my mate Toria's hubby new read is another dive into northern grit and as quoted "the nearest thing to a modern day dickens" He signed me a copy also, as the one I ordered mysteriously disappeared

Work week begins

back to normal today, after Chester and went to Manchester to see @badwool9.bsky.social 's flick at cinema. My mate date emma and I did make the last train, as it was quite a walk back and then wine, she taught me a very cleverly coded way to insult someone by saying "there we are then"

Manchester bound on a monday.

exactly me trying to explain why i'd gone at saturday at 6pm and got in at 6am sunday morning, a weekend before

but in regards to what i just posted, Yesterday after a shot of rum with my step dad to celebrate his birthday, i was lovingly welcomed back to halifax's barscene by some of the finest looking felines and people. my workmates were out again &it was a weird time. off to manny today on a mate date.

Go ahead break my neck Drink the fluid from my spine. youtu.be/aDKGnFeLnF4?...

record i picked up yesterday. choice cover www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck1Z...

I can confirm that Keiron is absolutely banging on here and @hawaiiworms.bsky.social is a lovely chap. Go see them.

nice place, shame about the bar scene. pissing around my local dens of happiness today where people do smile and talk to you in a pub where necessary

home

Going home. youtu.be/4d7DaZ4Oic0?...

Bulgaria won. look mam no CPU is playing leeds after this and will hope build a cult collective as he isn't shite. also, maybe he'll meet a cat who keeps beauty alive within creating work and talk about their anecdotes with great rapport. he's done better than a man in reform.

a review of chester: Cold distant weirdos who should not be serving pints to anyone. Never in a places ive felt so distant from anyone. Even the lilt around here is disgusting i'm watching eurovision with a chorizo and a small bottle of zinfadel

Christ the barmaid is blowing cold tonight. I hate my job serving beers to IPA toss bags too..I dont what I did yesterday, but if the charge is "chatty bastard" its why im sitting alone. New PSA: never trust a bar calling emselves hero when you are a villain

Finally a tune in chester I can relate to. Carl douglas- kung fu fighting. The fact its a black man singing about martial arts im sharing this photo of papa

Ive had 3 costume changes today. I am my own one man show, and the curtain call is coming when i feel necessary

I bought this today. Currently retailing on discogs for 60 quid. I needed Jimmy Cliff singing the clash and here we go.

I would've won the Huddersfield literature slam poet thing with my pure grit and confidence tonight id imagine. Instead im in chester, enjoying a hotel, some late night chorizo and a ride home tomorrow to reinstate a missing bard in his hometown..

This is why my closing line of "paying tenants" of this country belonging to the English smashes with authority. Do you love the people shown on these visuals or be that sad bloke in a baseball trying to shut down facts? Reject hate. Increase LOVE

Going to that pub again tonight.. the name been called "beer heroes" lets see how they cope with a out of town villian.

Go see this cat. His experiments with electronics as a one man band is a captivating watch. He's also a great conversation off stage also, in a good coat

Sat in Chesters irish pub. Bar man is gently irish and friendly. Locals are saying its the best tasting guinness in chester. They ain't lying as more meal, and less straight to the thighs.

Its rained all day. Found a quiet pub for a guinness today. Back to my room soonish!

Celebrity spotting in the rain if chester today

I was gonna enter a slam with my spit about unity tonight. instead i'm celebrating a dad today and tomorrow. I had the honor of doing this poem at a event against racism in halifax last year. ignore the flag visual, as i'm hoping one of my filmmaker friends can put me up front reciting it soon.

got fraiser on. my god i love Jane Leeves and her wonderfully northern tone watching this series. also the jack russell is a plus

The offspring's iconic album smash is now 30 so im told. Last weekend my mate put on @thecubanboys.bsky.social 's version of this not knowing, and I told him "you do know this is my bandmates project before spray?" Still pisses on dookie. youtu.be/Abrn8aVQ76Q?...

heard this at a bar in dear old Chester yesterday! back in 2005, i proper loved this band i still enjoy this song quite a lot. i went through a phase where i tried to look like the frontman in this video. key reminder to start putting the words "lionise" on my fingers at a gig like this cat here

i love hotel rooms. They have these ugly mirrors you never feel comfortable in, and you take a picture of your flesh in front of them and still go "not social media or sensually ready" like you could be in a butcher's window. i keep flashing myself two fingers drinking a guinness next to one.

I heard brilliant character wrestler Toni Storm cut a promo today with "i was born of a chemical spillage" to describe her relationship with her parents. I immediately took it as a line. There's a reason to STILL watch wrestling, and its for the poetic words that some can conjure up like that.

pissed off knowing japanese punk/techno/metal abnd the mad capsule markets put their last album on vinyl and it's a Japanese exclusive, clocking in at 78 quid. ace. This is how the UK fanbase got paid off for still liking them to say they haven't been a thing since 2007.

i went looking for new jeans today. Having a non-existent waist (i'm a 28) none would of fit me without taking them or putting on weight. as the latter isnt something i can't actually do i'll stick to making skinny jeans look fat with my "snake hips"

hello from chester. I was in hotel room today ready to stream Japanese hip hop on youtube as one does as there's fuck all on TV and the fire alarm went off. i thought i'd broken a musician's trust and all. Also, this place has a whopping 3 record stores. I plan to snoop around tomorrow!

It strikes me that in order to counter the popularity of the Berlin DJ Spray*, @spraypopmusic.com's new single needs to go viral, so please do all you can (streaming from the end of the month). www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8BB... *only the 21st Spray on Discogs, we are Spray Prime.

Another one bites the (pub) dust

I'm In Chester wearing a sweater saying "beware false prophets" cutting a scene, as always.

"Inglan belongs to me" A poem ive been doing recently for its relevancy and a message of unity. Cheers.
