The @stereolabgroop.bsky.social band played a fabulously groovy set last night. Crunchy guitar and trombone peaks a-plenty. Also a plethora of woolly hats donned for the entire gig; people need to improve their circulation!

They quite excellent Sunflower Thieves @sunflowerthieves.bsky.social have a freebie gig @ Low Four in April - you can get tickets tomorrow.

@davelauchlan.bsky.social Here's your Friday sorted:

I believe the sun has neglected to set an alarm, and is having a lie in.

Just had dogshit put through the letterbox - a Reform UK letter. This envelope was enclosed. Royal Mail will bill Reform with each of these envelopes delivered to them. So I've printed this scan on 100 sheets of cheap paper and chopped them - 300 units - and dropped them in a letterbox. Crack on.

Incredible set from Westside Cowboy, last night at @thetradesclub.bsky.social. Next year will see them tour with Geese and play much larger rooms. Very exciting!

If you've never seen it, iPlayer the F out of it now.

Clearly, yes! I can't imagine theatres not letting people know when a play starts, why should this be different? THEN we could bring gig times earlier and public-transport friendly.

Wow, bass recorders are less instrument, more downspout.

It's 7 years ago I saw @thebeths.bsky.social for the first time in Miles Platting, M40. Of course it was top notch, but no idea how this booking unfolded.

You know it's going to be a good day when @hannahpeel.bsky.social crops up every hour on Radio 4 news - for the right reasons!

Piss poor week so far. A rainbow in the sludge is tonight though, in the form of 🌈 @kathrynjoseph11.bsky.social 🏵️ at the Deaf Institute. Then I remembered how much a pint is in there. ⛈️

Pogotastic night with Pom Poko / @beachbunnymusic.bsky.social on Monday at Albert Halls, 0161. Got myself in the pit, obviously.

Cut ups and freak outs, Crimewave and @nojoy.bsky.social at Yes, Manchester; neither nomenclature were present, lovely night. Apologies, my snaps poorly represent Jasamine's knock-off Aphex Twin socks, but they were excellent!

It's the anticipated @nojoy.bsky.social's Manchester-Wednesday-day today. Go pick a spot in Yes's basement and get some.

@thorharris.bsky.social too good

Pretty special weekend - Roy Harper at the Bridgewater, Oasis at Wembley. Belting shows, the both; pure enjoyment.

@thorharris.bsky.social Another one for the life-goal map.

@thorharris.bsky.social Oof!

Reading the obits, seems like I have a lot of decent films to catch up on. RIP Robert Redford.
