I will miss my silly little goose friends in Southsea once when they move on again. Here they are this morning having a mad one in the fog.

Very sad news. Forever poignant. I watch it arguably too often, but this week will have to feature some more time to watch Woodstock.

That's why you start Brown over Bishop. Class goal.

Another half of football for Pompey of having the ball but frustratingly doing absolutely nothing with it.

I'd have had Chaplin up top with our top goalscorer also playing.

"HERE WE GO!": the lowdown on "football journalist" Fabrizio Romano sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/here-we-go...

Fair play to everyone there. A lesson about Reading must have been dull, given there's much more exciting clubs to learn about.

Stuff it, why not add all 24 teams in? Have them all play each other twice. Maybe do like a league format as well.

This glorious set on My Analog Journal is the perfect way to start this brisk, sunny spring morning. youtu.be/DLymtpq9G5g?...

Terrible nights sleep with constant lucid dreaming (geometric patterns was cool, though), so I feel like I've hardly slept. Not sure if this is still a dreamworld or not, but this morning feels like it.

I wrote some words for Hard of Hearing about the new singles from Goodbye and Night Swimming. Have a read, maybe. hardofhearingmagazine.com/2026/02/27/t...

My Monday morning listening. 'Work For Peace' is as poignant as ever. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Over 100 works of art being put up for auction by (cash strapped) Reform-run Kent County Council. Kent Greens: "While the total financial value of the art is only around £35k, the historic and social value of the art, most of which depicts Kent, is far higher."

Stoked for them. Remember catching them at one of their first out of London shows, also at venue that's now closed (RIP The Registry) for a free show to about 50 people. They've come a long way.

I really wish we would get a new version of The Getaway.

When it rains, it pours. What a terrible, terrible day. Let's stop football. We gave it a good go. Maybe it's time to say enough is enough. It had a good run but football is finished.

Football is stupid again. Don't talk to me about it.

On one hand, half 12 kicks off are terrible if you're hungover (I am), but on the other hand, it's acceptable to have beers for breakfast, so it's impossible to say really if they're that bad for the home supporter.

Nah, no way was that 19 years ago?!

To be fair to Kier Starmer and Lucy Powell, it was a straight fight between Reform and Labour... for second place.

Lovely stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Never again can Labour say that a Green vote is a wasted vote. You don't have to compromise and tacitly endorse Labour's concessions to the far-right anywhere. This is so so huge!

'Back of The Netflix' was right there.

I adore this band so much. Intergalactic 70's Turkish esque psych meets disco, krautrock, and rave vibes. FFO Flamingods, Altin Gun, Yin Yin, etc. youtu.be/DVDRNJamPes?...

The Leadmill team are looking to raise £30,000 to help establish a new venue, promising that 100% of the money raised will go to securing a new space and building elements such as a stage, lighting and bars

Had the pleasure of having Goodbye on a few of our shows, and they're always unreal. One of the most exciting new bands around.

This should be fun even if I accidentally booked it for when Pompey are at home.

The tail end of winter, going into spring is my favourite time, I think. The sunrises and sunsets are just the best.

Funnily enough, I was playing this yesterday on my 360. It absolutely holds up both gameplay and graphically. It truly is one of the all-time great heavyweight sport and fighting titles.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Me whilst watching Ebou Adams and Millenic Alli link up:

Last time a Reform politician said the minimum wage should be cut we looked into his businesses & found three of his former employees had won employment tribunal claims against him. But despite what the tribunal ordered, he didn't pay a single judgment www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

Big fan of these. Eastern psych funk mixed with krautrock and elements of techno. Like Yin Yin mixed with Follakzoid. youtu.be/Mfb2BozGfVA?...

Hyped for this.

A Michael Pollan long read about consciousness at the hour of breakfast? Hell yeah.

I hate to also defend them lot, but the game is gone.

Devlin is easily worth £1 trillion, at least.

This is basically Black Mirror and Westworld. Grim.

This is happening because OpenAI - a company that does not have anything even approaching a viable business model and is setting money on fire - used borrowed money to advance buy all of the raw materials for RAM production so competitors couldn’t get it

What a silly little rage bait article.

Doing this tonight in the capital. Come along, London pals.

It's the perfect Saturday with 3pm football in the sunshine and then Wedgewood Rooms later for Shtepi x LIPWORMS.

I've listened to this a few times today, and it's absolutely glorious. It will likely be up there on my AOTY list.

This is extraordinary. Zahawi's 'evidence' for London having fallen? He saw a bloke who looked a bit weird. In a posh area, for shame!

Well, that's rubbish for everyone.

Wrote words about the new singles this week from Gum, Lugnut and First Day of Spring for Hard of Hearing. The latter will also be playing Sebright Arms this Sunday with LIPWORMS and Michael Georgian. Maybe see ya there. hardofhearingmagazine.com/2026/02/13/t...

Chris Sutton predicting an 8-0 win and Daffy Duck and Porky Pig being more pragmatic with their prediction. What a world we live in. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Didn't get what I wanted. Still, I thought that was very decent. Nice to see new IPs.

It won't happen, but I am once again kindly asking for a new Twisted Metal and Parappa The Rapper, please.
