Doh! I thought the Toxy merch mart was today…… it’s tomorrow. So killing time till Spurs kick off in the excellent George Tavern.

Premier league goal drought today.

Asagaya nights!

Every morning here is a sunny one.

Feather duvet in my place gives me a prick everynight

Not a bad working environment this morning. Wonder how long I can make this very small cup of ¥700 (about £3.50 so cheaper than Starbucks at home) coffee last before I am asked to move on.

No GP telephone consultations? No month wait? This is not real world. #thearchers

That felt quite scary for a while…. Earthquake.

Anyone know a bar showing F1 or any way to watch the final in Tokyo?

Waitress in a ‘London Themed’ pub at Heathrow just asked me if I need anything else…. A new Liver maybe as the halumi fries were just a salt overdose.

Need to get writing again.

4 out of 5 songs off this EP played Tuesday night at Wembley. Quality set listing and maybe caught out a few who have only listened to Loveless. #mybloodyvalentine

Leave our BBC alone you fat orange plonker.

Here tonight. @cafeotodalston.bsky.social

New on the Woodchip

Wtf is/was Mulligan? Lived 10 minutes away but has never featured before? #TheArchers

The Grandma's Garden EP is out next Friday, but in the meantime, @mattschley.com made this fantastic video for the song だから、さよなら. Really pleased with this one. Thanks to all who helped out with their time and good spirits (and shitty yet affordable spirits): www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSU2...

Glad they have clarified exactly what a “shank” is….. for those of us not up with teen gang and prison terms. #thearchers

Taigen (Bo Ningen) last night in London. Wish I could squat like this!

After a year spent in the abstract realms, our scuzzy indie-punk face is back on with the debut EP from Tokyo duo Grandma's Garden out on 10/17 and available for pre-order now. Available to download or on cassette with a lovely little accompanying zine: call-and-response.bandcamp.com/album/sweet-...

Anyone else suspect that there is more to the JLR ‘cyber attack’ than meets the eye? Maybe an excuse to pause production due to not selling cars? Now asking for government support.

Rapture is not all it was cracked up to be… I see no difference. #rapture

If flying today, do you get a head start? #rapture

‘Hairy Giante’!

The stress of waiting for that Doctors “telephone consultation” is enough to make me sick. No idea of a time given….

Bandcamp Friday runs on USA pacific time….. hence those in UK & Europe still have until 7 or 8am Saturday to buy with great deals for the artists. Spend the night browsing and buying! Koenjimusic.bandcamp.com

Barbican Estate in London last weekend.

Wondered why Red Hot Chilli Peppers were so low on the bill at Fuji Rock… turns out it’s Red Hot Chilli Pipers… a Scottish bagpipe band. 3 am here! I feel a bit cheated.

Just had my adult status verified by Yoti. Desperate to learn what age they estimated me as… anyone know how to find out?

Hardcore Riot Twee in London. Heavenly.

Tender stem Brockley is surely a trade description travesty.
