#etafrum Evil Eye. From the beginning you can't help but "hate" the mother-in-law. A book about breaking through the chains that suppress and about gaslighting and it was quite an enjoyable read. #book #books

#fluidtogas album "flow" very Fugazi influenced and still very good 27 or so years after buying it after seeing them live in #michaelbarrax in Höchst

Headline of the day: "Pope tells priests to use their brains, not AI, to write homilies" #butlerianjihad www.ewtnnews.com/vatican/pope...

Flesh by #davidszalay This is a book you can read in a few days, but will make you think for weeks. It's about a lot of stuff, which for me includes fate, agency, nihilism, moral. People say they unexpectedly empathise with the main character - yes I did too. I recommend this book.

kaputkrauts.bandcamp.com/album/vom-fe... Concert last night was #kaputkrauts and #cityspeak. City Speak on record were OK, but live, wow, absolutely, powerfully brilliant. And Kaput Krauts were good live, but on record: wow.

A game of two halves for #FSVFrankfurt. Offenbach better in first half, but we could/should have won it in the second. Lost on penalties, then went to pub for Guinness #fsv

Just what we needed to see, cheers Steve, getting the feelings of the decent people of the country spot on yet again. A Frenchman, an immigrant, an anti-racist, a Man Utd superstar and all-round fantastic human being, giving that arsehole exactly what he deserves. Perfection.

"The Best Short Stories 2025" edited by Edward P. Jones. This is a great collection of short stories. Some shocks and sadness and almost all of them are really well written, so that I didn't have to work too hard to read them. #book #books

What an odious old man. Immigrants > billionaires. #mufc 🇾🇪

Last night's concert was #NTÄ and #Steakknife in the Au. A most enjoyable evening.

#sportchestra! 101 Songs About Sport. A lot packed onto the double album from some Chumbawamba folks and friends from 1988

Saturday concert was #puertohurracosisters at #raumstation #rödelheim. Monday night was #tortoise in #zoom club ( in my poor photo )

Dear Glasgow Bluesky friends. My son's girlfriend has a work experience in April/May/June at Glasgow Women's Library and is looking for accomodation (room with cooking possibility). Can anyone give me any leads/tips :-)

#RichardFlanagan Question 7: Its a bit 50/50 for me. I wasn't too engaged reading it although some sections were great: The historical characters' stories. The more personal stuff was OK, the last chapter was gripping - but I had the feeling I had read it somewhere before #book #books #buch #bücher

Great read, I could not put it down. I had read that it is a story about love, but I got more of a horror story and a religious angle. There is also the theme of a child's interpretation of (adult) life. #klaraandthesun #KazuoIshiguro #book #books #buch #bücher

For a moment there you had me. Creator of a folly of my youth has passed away. It was a great story, nonetheless.

The story about this hacker last week was brilliant, but the ripples seem to be spreading.

I just read this Guardian article and I'm currently reading and totally enthralled with the book "Klara and the Sun" by #KazuoIshiguro and the only song in my head now is #Queen "I'm in love with my car" youtu.be/MAnYVt2xBCE?...

youtu.be/Bj5Z7QdsiII?... Not heard this song for years, brilliantly goofy. What songsmiths #toydolls and olga are. #thetoydolls

Same fight today against another ruling class. Learn a lesson from the past.

Listening to random tracks from my old disk drive full of music is like a radio station that only plays good stuff. Victims Family - Corona Belly Cornel Campbell - Duke of Earl Buzzcocks - No Reply Kate Bush - Room for the Life Squarepusher - Ill Descent Familiars - Willow's Song

I just completed "Playground" - Day 8 - Advent of Code 2025 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2025/day/8 And bloody hell, part one was so difficult and part two was sooooo easy.

The Spar in #Porthmadog

This is only my third #NinaAllan book, but she is already a favourite. These stories are like nightmares/dreams/thriller/horror but so subtle - maybe ominous and disturbing are better descriptions. Two of the stories I immediately re-read:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmlR... #babyharpseal One of my favourite bands from the 1990s, saw them many times live, always amazing.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=W74Z... This was my first exposure to #james on #johnpeel radio show. Still sounds great - especially scarecrow.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-06... #pjharvey I've not seen this film before. Dry and Rid of Me I played to death and can listen too a million times more. The next three were/are amazing too and Uh huh her I didn't listen to too much. But after hearing this film I feel a new PJ Harvey phase starting.

Sunday matinee punk concert with #gosolow #blutwurst and #thetulips. Nice mixture of different music styles from great bands at one gig. Gosolow were awesome!

#gong #planetgong Daz Russel's gigs at the Mermaid were named "floating" which I guess came from this record as he was into some hippy stuff as well as punk. It says pay no more than 2 pound 25, but I paid 2.75 , used, from Cob records 🙄

This arrived in the post via #greenhellrecords. #fastblood play monster songs packed with anger and emotion.
