San Francisco on Sunday:

Loving the new International album from @bobpetesarah.bsky.social. I was most looking forward to hearing them team up with Vince Clarke but all of the collaborations bear tasty fruit. It's bittersweet that this is the end yet a brilliant way to wrap things up for this beloved group.

September @mojomagazine.bsky.social arrived in the post today. The @suedehq.bsky.social rarities CD is really whetting my appetite for their new Antidepressants album. Closing track "Criminal Ways" highlights the post-punk feel with tribal drums and an early eighties, Simple Minds vibe.

Quote with a photo of yourself in the 80s I thought myself too cool to take my 1985 senior year high school photo. My mom found out and made me do this make up photo in a local studio.

It never rains in southern California (unless you're at the Cruel World festival). At least the next couple of days were lovely.

Want new music from #NewOrder? 'Sumner says the delay comes down to general motivation to write again, with some members wanting to do so and others not being “too keen.” “I’m one of the ones that does,” Sumner assures. “That’s all I can say, really.”' Hmm... www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

It felt as though someone was reading over my shoulder today. Probably just the seagulls. @graemethomson.bsky.social #UnderTheIvy

The radio station that inspired the cover of the #Journey album Raised on Radio. The station had been owned by the parents of former singer Steve Perry.

With anti-US sentiment rightfully skyrocketing, why did #NewOrder choose now to hawk USA 1989 tour merch? The Technique Definitive Edition box set has yet to be announced, so it's not a tie-in. www.neworder.com/news-1/usa-1...
